I was taught that you aren’t a real rapper until the beat can be taken away, and the poetry underneath still resonates.

I can’t wait for you all to hear all the new music I’ve been cooking up for this next project.
I took a much needed break from social media and electronics (along with other vices 🍃) for the past few months to connect with those who appreciate my art, in the real world. Im extremely grateful for everyone Ive had the opportunity to encounter. Love.
During my technology detox, I finished writing and producing my next album project. I can’t wait for you all to hear this body of work. I isolated myself such that I could only be influenced by my own thoughts and sounds. First single is otw. Despite my having not been posting about it theres a lot going on behind the scenes that you’ll see soon. I had to eliminate the pressure to be a content creator over that of being a true musician.
Being a musician is not as simple as having a hobby or a career; being a musician is a core identity in which you are granted purpose from a power higher than self to communicate messages through sound.
Only real music’s gona last…
If you scroll til the end (last 4 slides); you can see how everything is coming full circle. 💯🙏🏾💕
Yall still with me?

Religion is often used as a tactic to uphold fascism.
I have a very strong relationship with my God. But Im not familiar with the God Donald Trump and Nicki Minaj worship. The actions that they endorse are ungodly by nature. By definition, scripture, and principal; it cannot be the same God that I worship. With that being said, who is your God?
(Prod. Raina Simone)

I ask, who is the God that blessed America…
If America is blessed, in all of its evil ways, who is the God that blessed it? For, that God does not align with mine.
(Prod. Raina Simone)
