Kris B & Nosmo come through with a big room, peak time track featuring excerpts
from the dramatic acceptance speech of fellow Illinois icon Barack Obama. Shuffly beats give way to simple driving chords and bass, the vocal drops in classic house style, highlighting the most uplifting moments. This track builds and swells
with huge dynamics. A dub mix is included for those who wish to remain politically impartial, or just like the music.
This release marks the beginning of Nightshade Limited, as main label Nightshade Music looks to its second year. Nightshade Music has some big things coming up in 2009, with tracks appearing on Darren Emerson's Global Underground 36 and Blake Jarrell’s upcoming Armada Music compilation. The uplifting feel and message of 'Yes
We Did'/ 'Yes We Dub' sets the tone for a bright future for Nightshade Music and it's US headquarters.
