Strings! The beat is very fancy. The emotions in this song grow to show anger, motivation, encouragement, and focus.

Overall, this is a great album. The music is all original. No samples, or pre-mad patters what so ever. Every track was made from scratch. This album is not full of your typical drug dealing, gang banging, whos the toughest, whos the richest, disrespect to women message. Instead, its filled with honest, creative, upfront, real life truth. Anyone who knows me knows that to the fullest. This album is my life from day one, to the current moment. This album is full of material that a lot of people have been waiting to hear more of on their stereos, radios, and their videos. I decided to put myself out to the world through my music, so with this album, youre getting me.
I want to thank each and everyone that believed in this album. Everyone that told me I had good music and good lyrics that were capable of making a huge, long lasting impact in the music scene. This album took a lot of dedication, long hours, and encourage from myself and others. I would also like to thank everyone who gave me ideas to write the songs on this album. My family, friends, enemies, teachers, and even ex-girlfriends inspired this album. Last but not least, I want to thank everyone who went out and picked up a copy of this album and took time out of their busy schedules to listen to it also. I’m really grateful for that. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you all enjoy the album.
