Kato‘s production company, SMKA, had the idea to book a studio for 4 days and invite a number of Atlanta Hip-Hop artists to come through and make some history together. The result is The Hang Out, with the first song to see the light of day being a Kato Production. He’s joined by Jackie Chain, Scotty and RaRa on a track called “Pimpin Mane”. Be on the lookout for the rest of the project to drop in March but enjoy this down south leak in the mean while.
The Hang Out produced by SMKA
