Pain and Glory

I’d like to take this time out to deliver a message to our listeners conocerning difference between entertainment and fact; and where those lines may cross.
You may hear me rhyme a nice punch line about a gun or drugs and honestly thats entertainment, I wouldn’t want the listener to think I was going to shoot them or sell them drugs: I’m a rapper! Still for those who live a street lifestyle there is vivid truth in those lines because it speaks to them in a laguage which is familiar to them.
We make music with that idea at the core of every song. No matter if you a london OG or you a canadian banger we all know the streets. And if you’re street where you’re from then the streets will always be where you’re at!
I dedicate this post to my nigga Ramsey Burnett holding it down in the GMDC as well as his wife Yolanda and his daughter Jannea. There is no glory in the cases young black men catch while trying to manuever the traps of the streets. The pain does not start or end with his incarceration; just like all our incarcerated young men and women- the pain spreads to family members and friends as brothers, sons, and fathers are ripped out of our lives. I pray you come home safe to all your family and friends with a fresh start at being the best you can be my nigga, I’ll be there…
