You either allow yourself to succumb to the pressures of life or just find the strength to make the best of your environment. Writing this album helped me realize how some lessons in life are inescapable. I spent my whole life telling myself that I would never end up like certain people.

Then I ended up finding myself in those same situations that I just knew for sure that I wouldn’t end up in.” PROUDLY DISTRIBUTED BY FAT BEATS DISTRIBUTION | 8920 ETON AVE.
