Fun fact: MERCY ft.
@quakematthews happened because of a freestyle that
@baselsabri had done to the original sample.
He recorded it w/
@alexzleb at
@przmstudio_ & shot the video for it at a Release Party
@rennymannn had at
@listenhalifax
The following week,
@quakematthews & I linked up with
@nulo4u for an impromptu studio session. That’s when NULO played us this MONSTER of a beat he made to the sample!
@quakematthews already had a verse written that fit the vibe perfectly. I later laid my verse down, which tbh, is an old verse from like 2010 that I never recorded. I remember still living in St Lucia when I wrote it.
We eventually built the concept “Mercy”, which played well into the themes of my upcoming album, GABRIEL.
Go check out the latest episode of
@soulsticeradio to really deep the whole vibe
