Days in the North is a song recorded by the Hip Hop duo, Rum & Coke originally posted on Soundcloud but soon deleted after being picked as a promotional single for Rum & Coke's upcoming project. It was at first written by Coke but then edited by Rum and a rap verse was added. On the first track posted of the song, Coke sung the lyrics of her fight with prejudice peers but on this version, Rum jumps in and raps as almost an interlude between Coke's soft voice and the hard-hitting experimental beat.
"The production of this pushes you into a pool of trance... you're thrown in a daze almost as Coke softly states her worth as if she has nothing to prove and Rum hisses words of discouragement in your ear." Says Billboard's Jason Lipshutz. "It's almost like the two take good cop, bad cop to a whole new level." Marc Hogan from Spin explains, "You can't help but agree with everything that comes out of their mouth. They manage to get their point across without showing any effort--something very scarce in the world of Hip Hop yet key in a successful rap song."
"Nowadays, I don't really get pissed off at the stupid things people say, but I admit, this whole song was built off of a bunch of Tweets and YouTube comments." Airemese laughs. "A lot of people try and attack us on a daily basis but when I see comments with 100+ likes about how if I wasn't rich and Rum didn't have cantaloupes for boobs, we would have no career, I feel all types of ways. I mean, hell, I wont lie and say the cleavage doesn't have a key role in negotiation but damn, give us some credit." She explains in an interview. "I don't think anyone likes YouTube comments and I don't think anyone likes assumptions. So when they're combined, yea, these kind of songs just happen."

Who you think you talking to?
Speaking like that only gets you one place, boo
Tired of whispers and rumors shaping who I must be
If you've got so much to say, why don't you talk to me ?
Spending all my days in this cold ass snow
Tryna defrost tears I don't want to show
For a life like this you gotta be chosen
And they always wonder why my hearts so frozen
Let it go, you should let it go
But I feel like holding on......
When you're done surviving off daddy's check, hit me up
No hype needed
Betta take a few lines, bitch, you know you gon' need it
You betta take a few notes if you feel like testing
Little more than book smart, I dare you to test it
Girl I been mic-checked this
Never running out, stop checking on my checkings..
No good credit
I've payed all my dues, it ain't up for your discretion
Got your career in a jam with my every jam session
...Testing, testing
Been mic-checked this
Never running out, stop checking on my checkings
Who you think you talking to ?
Peasants shouldn't speak when queens are in the room
If it's damage you were tryna give , you shoulda come harder
Sleeping on us wont help bring your company farther
Spending all my days in this cold ass snow
Tryna defrost tears I don't want to show
For a life like this you gotta be chosen
And they always wonder why my hearts so frozen
Keep them close , keep all of them close
But the enemy's gettin' too close to home.....

These rappers be saying they ain't scared no nigga
But be doing the most not to end up as a broke nigga
Ain't it funny how this industry goes ?

But let them sales get low, watch how fast they be trying to attract them
