THROUGHOUT THE MAKING OF THIS ALBUM, I WOULD ASK MYSELF “WHAT'S THE POINT?’’
WHAT GOOD WILL A SONG OR A RAP VERSE DO TO CHANGE THE WORLD?
THE WORLD GIVES US SO MANY OUTLETS TO BROADCAST AND HIGHLIGHT THESE SOCIAL ISSUES AND INJUSTICES; BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE MORE WE HAVE, THE MORE OUR MESSAGE FALLS ON DEAF EARS.
THIS DILEMMA HAS DISCOURAGED MANY ARTISTS FROM SPEAKING UP, KNOWING THAT OUR VOICES WILL ONLY BE SUPPRESSED AND ULTIMATELY SILENCED.
WE ARE TOO COMFORTABLE WITH SEEING DEATH.
WE ARE TOO COMFORTABLE WITH ACCEPTING HALF-TRUTHS.
WE ARE TOO COMFORTABLE WITH DANCING TO THE DRUM OF WARS ACROSS SEAS.
SO TO THE DISCOURAGED ARTIST.
SOMEBODY NEEDS YOU.
LET YOUR WORDS AND YOUR ART FLY!
