Dreams to reality 🙏🏾.
Thank you @sportsnet and @raptors for all the support this season. One song being used was already crazy, so seeing them use another one of my songs for the broadcast feels even more surreal.

More sacrifices than pain
High level goals that I contemplate in a Range
The spinners that I know can’t cross and it’s a shame
Max said the goal is the max with minimal stains
Excited to let yall know that @sportsnet and @raptors will be using my song OMW for @raptors game openings and montages throughout the 2025-2026 season.
If you know my story, you know that my biggest goal growing up was to make it to the NBA. At 20 that pursuit ended after a career ending hip injury after my freshmen year at Virginia Tech.
I went through all the negative emotions you could imagine, but I knew I still had something to offer the world. I took my passion for music more serious and told myself I would inspire the world with a triumph story.
6 years later, and what I did to move forward from the injury brought me back to the game and is helping me live out my childhood dream of being in an NBA game.
When I made the song OMW in 2024, I told @djtlomusic that this song would be used for something Raptors related one day. Here we are a year later with that dream as a reality.
Less Excuses, More Sacrifices. ♾️
Earlier this year, @rise_edt , @cityofto and @torontohousing suggested that I do a rap/writing program for kids in communities that have been impacted by gun violence to assist them with self expression and self discovery through art.
I was placed in Scarborough for the summer and every Wednesday evening I pulled up to talk music and make music with kids. Summer was a tough time to get kids to be consistent with the program but when they showed up it was everything I hoped for it to be. We did a bbq one week and my guy @justunlimited even pulled up for 2 sessions to give them free recoding sessions.
When I landed back from LA on Monday I ran into one of the kids, who was waiting on his family member on the same flight as me. The kid wasn’t too big into rap but he let me know that he had a brother that was rapping when we were doing the program. The kid’s older brother was YTN Paco.
A few hours after I saw the kid at the airport, I saw the news that Paco was shot and killed. My heart broke for the kid and his family. He was a positive kid.
This encounter occurring right after my trip to LA really had me thinking about how mportant it really is to support the kids in our city man. This music thing is so much bigger than us just making it for ourselves. These kids are going through unimaginable pain and sometimes they just need to be heard, seen, and given an outlet to deal with their pain.
It’s not a perfect world but we CAN make more sacrifices to make it easier for the kids man.♾️
