Have you ever considered doing a gospel album? “Count Your Blessings” practically drove me to tears. mp3 form and we ended the album with it because it’s such a powerful statement. It’s just a song about how you work so hard and you grind so hard to get notoriety and to be able to afford nice things and then they gift them to you I just look at it like, “Man, life is so backwards.” I was able to translate and articulate it into. My most personal song could maybe be “Backwards,” the last song on the album. I think with her the love has been there and it was like time to turn in the album and I was like, “Man, Imma just try to ask her.” And she was like, “Sure, no problem, let’s do it next week.” So it’s definitely moments like that that just let me know man, like keep going.

With features including Brandy, Kierra Sheard, Teedra Moses, and Sevyn Streeter, what led you to choose these artists?Ī genuine love for the artist. The songs and the album being called New Light… it was pretty much a metaphor for the metamorphosis that I was going through during the process. As I that process, I didn’t realize that it would actually affect the music, but it did. not eating meat for months at a time and meditating, it really cleansed my mind internally and it made me write music that was just as pure. And I’ve been able to have time to actually reflect, look in the mirror, and do some inner work.

We’ve been in isolation and the world has become a lot different.
