This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one "chill" track every day for when you get home and are trying to unwind, when you reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild, or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We are just your milkmen and I'm here to make a delivery. Chill…
Hippie Sabotage is responsible for tonight's chilled out tune. "Stay High" is a flip of Tove Lo's original track titled "Habits", which was released just last week. This restructured piece ventures into an electronic arena while remaining true to Hippie Sabotage's R+B/hip-hop roots as evident in their remix of Izzy Bizu's "White Tiger". The percussive ticking provides an ideal backdrop for the euphoric female vocals, while the synthetic additives work their magic throughout.
These Sacramento-based brothers go by the names of So Crates and Sour Beats, and haven't got as much exposure as they truly deserve. "Stay High" lifts us up and resurfaces again, keeping our ears wide open for what is to come. If anyone is missing someone out there, the lyrical content of "Stay High" might conjure up some suppressed emotions. But, in the best way possible.

The co-released Aris Jerome directed music video stars Chanelle Elise, and it's pretty beautiful, as is she. Take a look.
