When I was younger my pops always told me that I was a Prince and that one day when I become a man I would become a King like him...So all through my life I have always viewed myself as such...A King. It was instilled in me. But little did I know that with that crown comes great responsibility, hard choices, and lots and lots of stress and hard work. "Heavy is the head" as they say. My pops prayed for me... he always told me that. He used to tell me "I told God if you give me a son, I'll give him back to you." I never quite understood what my pops meant until I got older. God gave my pops a son and every since I left my daddy's house in 2008 I've been a tool for God to the gods through this poetry. This ain't just music, beats, and lyrics to me. This is my life. This is what I go through. My reality. We all go through life. We all laugh. We all cry. We all hurt. We all love. We all make mistakes... We all have been taken advantage of. We all have won. We all have lost...I'm not the only one, nor do I think I'm the only one. But through those ups and downs as Kings and Queens we still LIVE... Through all the successes and the many failures we still hold our crowns above our heads high and proud because that's who we are...KINGS and QUEENS and all of that comes with the territory. See, no matter what we go through GOD made us GREAT. We were made to endure and take on that struggle head on...We were put here to serve a purpose higher than ourselves and be GREAT in that purpose. And even when it feels like things are falling apart you gotta know and remind yourself that #ItGetsGreaterLater December 2015

#GHOSTS to #ItGetsGreaterLater
I once heard Kanye talk about how he HAD to make 808s and Heartbreak in order to make My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, arguably his best work to date. He said he was just in a place in his life where he had to totally go left field on 808 and get all of that out before he could create the masterpiece that is MBDTF. I feel the same way about my last project #GHOSTS... That was my 808s...That project holds a special place in my heart cuz it's extremely personal. A lot of things I had been holding on to for a long time that I had to get out in order to move forward. It alienated a lot of my fans and supporters. You either loved that album or you hated it but I had to create it in order to move on to this new music I'm working on now in Nashville. #ItGetsGreaterLater is definitely a project that won't alienate. BY FAR better than everything I've ever done. This is back to what made my supporters support me in the first place X's 10... Lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, aggression and the dopest beats.
