I wanted to create an album that spoke all the musical languages I loved.

I grew up having great awareness of who I was in regards to racial identity and socio-economic status. This caused me great frustration until I was about 19 years old at Tuskegee University. My brother became a Christian along with my father and they shared the Gospel with me on occasion.

My mom used to get involved with the Black Panther activities in Los Angeles. For me it was more about how to view my consciousness on these issues with a biblical framework.

Keep compassion close to your chest at all times.

I don't spend too much time attempting to defend myself against people who seem to have zero desire to have a substantive conversation.
