COME AND GO
YEAR 2023
IN-STUDIO PErFORMAnCE
I made this song because I was tired of seeing good people come in and out of my life. While growing in my purpose, I am realizing my need for long-term fulfilling relationships. I think in today's world, with societies dating standards we are a lost generation. I am just making music in the mist of the storm trying to navigate it all. Hope you enjoy ✌🏽
PAIN = PROFIT
YEAR 2021
We all have the ability to manipulate energy
The same way God can take something like dust and make Adom, or a rib to make eve
I realized I was able to take all the ups and downs on my journey and make music, a brand, a message, a mantra.
(PAIN = PROFIT)
Imagine what you could do if you used that gift….. what would come out of it?

GETTING RID OF FEAR OF FAILURE
YEAR 2021
RID OF FEAR
Most times the things that are in our way are not physical. Fear is something that lives in our heads. Yet if we learn to overcome it we will be 100X more successful. This song is about me dealing with the one thing that is holding me back……FEAR

DEALING WITH FLESHLY DESIRES WITH A SPIRITUAL PURPOSE
YEAR 2021
I became addicted.... to the social currency I got from women. Okay so too much info right? I know, but hear me out.... Because I know two things that we have in common…
1. We all have at one point been peer pressured into doing something we didn't feel was right
2. We all have a vision of ourselves at our fullest potential that we try to reach everyday
But how many of our beautiful goals have been distorted by the world's measure of success just like women were for me?

Becoming a Better Version of Myself
YEAR 2021
THINGS CHANGE
I strongly felt God to push me to go on SOBER OCTOBER so for the whole month I stopped drinking, smoking, and removed all relationships that were not rooted in love. I learned a lot of things about myself. Mainly how many distractions I put in front of me and my road blocks. THINGS CHANGE is my journey leaving my old life behind and stepping into my new life…….well at least trying to. It’s all a journey.

THERAPY
YEAR 2022
THERAPY
This song is really dense and stems from a very close friend of mine with whom I see a lot of myself in. We are alike because I do not like to share my problems with people or accept help because it makes me feel weak. As I grow older, I am beginning to understand how important it is to discuss your problems and seek solutions. Unfortunately in the black community as well as the male community, it is not exactly easy to find spaces to be vulnerable.

CAN’T COMMIT
YEAR 2022
CAN’T COMMIT
I went on a hiatus where I just wasn’t releasing music. I began to take on a bunch of other people’s projects and got lost in my work. Eventually I had to ask myself, “why is it easier to commit to other people than it is to commit to my vision. I made this song about the idea of commitment as it relates to the purpose driven creative. (Creative Believers)

LOOKING FOR LOVE
YEAR 2022
LOOKING FOR LOVE
Society will have you think you either have to be married (to be a good guy)…….or a hoe (to be cool I guess) At the same time you either have to be a millionaire (most of them lying about their money) or broke (the “starving artist” aesthetic). These social constructs leave me feeling lost both intimately and professionally Because it’s really scary to do things outside of what’s considered normal But I was never one to follow an idea just because it’s widely accepted.
So I decided to…..

REAP WHAT I SOW
YEAR 2022
REAP WHAT I SOW
Sometimes I get tired of all the work I’m putting in. Mainly when it feels like I’m not getting results. When will all the hard work pay off? Then I realized being a creative is a lifestyle. Not some financial, clout chasing, goal you reach and then the game is over. Taking life and creating your own interpretation on it is reward enough…. Until the money comes in of course lol

SELF CARE
YEAR 2022
SELF-CARE
So every morning I make a cup of tea, read, and journal about some of the things I read
Not only does this help keep me focused, but it helps fuel my creativity when I sit down to write songs. What are you doing to take care of yourself?

PURPOSE THROUGH PAIN
YEAR 2022
PURPOSE THROUGH PAIN
What are the things that throw me into a mood where I feel stuck? While reading this book called THE WAR OF ART (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) it described this force called resistance as anything that stops you from bettering your life or the world around you. It goes on to say that, that feeling only attacks those who are moving on the right path. I felt an immediate release.

I FELT ALONE…
YEAR 2021
Does anyone else feel like they are going through life alone?
Like there is battle after battle fighting doubts, haters, and bills?
This is a full on war, worthy of an army and yet it's just you everyday...
I do, and I think I found out why.

DO I WANT A RECORD DEAL?
YEAR 2021
When i was younger I wanted to figure out how I could become a famous rapper without having to go to Hollywood and play "the game"
You know the game......
Get a record deal, make friends with the right people and have my career take off
Be willing to rap about anything no matter how much damage it does to your community
You shouldn't have to change who you are to become who you are destined to be

SO I HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN…
YEAR 2021
PATIENCE AND PRACTICE
So I had a mental breakdown. I really want to become an entrepreneur. So I put myself on a strict schedule, but I broke it this weekend and went out instead. My excuse was “give yourself a break, you’ll finish when you get back.” But when I got back I didn’t finish.
I realized, though, this is a marathon and not a sprint. and two words kept coming to my head. Patience and Practice.

Dealing With Mental Road-Blocks
YEAR 2021
Mental Prison
For a few months I was out of it. I would sit at home and look at my studio wanting to make music but I lacked the motivation. I had to re-wire my brain. Stop smoking, drinking, giving my body away and really find out what was it that would really FULFILL me.

ALBUM ABOUT GETTING OVER HEARTBREAK
YEAR 2019
VOIDS
(I wanted to connect with the RIGHT person to build with. It’s so hard fighting the urge to rush too fast into sex or try to remain independent and goal driven while adding someone new into your routine. It’s not easy with no real guidance other than to imitate “relationship goals” we see on social media. Sometimes all you need to do is see it from another perspective so i hope when you listen to my story you gain clarity in yours. )

ALBUM ABOUT SELF REFLECTION
GO BEHIND THE SCENES
REFLECTION
So I just graduated from college in the middle of a pandemic with a degree in Music Industry. Usually, this time in my life would be spent traveling the world, looking for work, and celebrating with my friends……..Instead all I could do is reflect. So I decided to do what any other artist would do. I sat down and made music and in 5 days I came up with 5 self produced songs, 5 music videos, and tons of behind the scenes content.
