Though the demands of providing for his family were still there, he made a decision to continue to focus just on music, writing songs that would end up on his follow-up tape "Casanova." "Dandelion," which on the mixtape is a near-eight minute epic of lush live pianos (courtesy of executive producer Trevor Welch) and emotional openness, was actually the first song he wrote. "I was just overwhelmed with my life, and I just let it all come through in the song," he explains of the lines that are about running from his problems, being tired of hustling and having to write artist emails in the third person to make it seem like he had a manager. With all that in his mind, Fresco went for it: "I asked myself, how about I just let all of my creative juices go and make a song that's eight minutes? What's stopping me?" The result is one of the year's most ambitious and successful Chicago songs.
