If you the next person to have me on ya record, I hope you ready.

The only samples on ‘Magic, Alive!’ are in ‘Listen Gentle’. For the chorus, we reversed Angelica Garcia’s vocals from ‘Sun, I Rise’ to make the main melody line. There’s one or two other little ones throughout, but the team only really samples ourselves when producing.

my father's name something people would have known if they watched our interview 🙄🙄🙄 youtu.be/-8UxVBFODg8?si…

I don’t really have a desire to work wit rappers outside of my family, just cuz I can make characters wit the folks I know. But since I keep getting asked, my ideal features are Backwoodz Studioz, (J.I.D), and Queen Latifah. I got ideas for all and how they’d play a part.

Folks comparing my album to TPAB, but truly, you can listen to these and hear a young me writing about concept albums in his notepad from a window
