 And I know what you see in me You see the truth, see the me and me You see enough to believe in me You see your son, but it's he and me The music I create is organic and really purpose driven and purpose filled and I think that's kind of What's defined me as an artist and what's kind of led to my my evolution in artistry So when I was 12, my mom got me my first ever rap CD Which was millennium by will smith and ever since then I had just been going hard For music and really falling in love with rap and everyone had their own thing It was like the athlete or the smart kid or the video game kid and I was like I'm gonna I'm gonna be the rapper That's kind of what would set me off and and put me on this path to to making rap music You're getting stuck I see feet in the mud, you know when I was really young I think there was a definite dream of climbing to this pinnacle of success and being Alongside some of the people that I regarded as the best in in the industry You know being alongside the dr. Draes and the 50 cents and the the m&m's right I think early on I kind of visualized that dream and that's where I wanted to be but as time went on I understood that the music I needed to make would be music that had a purpose and was driven to inspire change In people's lives and now when I look at where I want to be and who I want to impact and touch It's really the people that are searching for purpose in their life in a meaningful way and are looking to connect with god on a deeper level A lot of times when I'm able to speak with a fan of my music They don't just say hey, I love your music. It's great They usually give me a lengthy response and detail to me how the music's impacted and changed their lives For me, that's more valuable than any million dollars any million stream hit that I could possibly search for It's really about that moment of connection and that moment of life changing that happens
