Fall Into You

Lauryn Hill wrote a song about Amadou Diallo, who was shot at 41 times by 4 NYPD officers in 1999. I decided to write a song about how easily this story could've been told in 2018 and felt it fitting to sample her song. 

"If a black man is gunned down by the police, and everyone is around to see it, does it even make a sound?"

Mos Def- What's Beef

Daniel Alexandre (ALXNDR) was born and raised in Boston, MA by two hard-working Haitian parents. From a family of 6, Daniel and his siblings were devoted to making their parents proud by excelling at their respective talents. Daniel chose music since his father was a traveling musician and pastor. Losing his father in 2011 sent Daniel on a quest to find his own path and identity. See what lessons life has offered Daniel living as young, black, questioning Christian, in today's United States. Follow @peaceandproperty on IG for shows and updates!
