(speechless) volume 1

You can only get so far by asking your friends to support you, that's why I don't... Sometimes it's better off to get an honest, unbiased opinion from someone you've never met. If your music is good, people will gravitate towards your music. I hope that this project introduces new people to my music and resonates sonically. All it takes is one step to keep going.

wish you well

Maintaining a balance between loverboy and nonchalant is one of the hardest things a man has to deal with emotionally. Love the wrong woman, and you learn the lesson of why you shouldn't give everyone your heart. Become nonchalant towards a loving woman, and you learn the lesson of what could've been which might actually hurt worse. Point is, you need to be strong with discernment so you don't end up feeling delusional about having normal feelings and emotions.

The whole idea of this project started with one sample... of myself. That's why part of the cover art had to include the sound wave of the original sample. People that knew me during the early production stages knew I used to sample heavy and encouraged me to do it more, but everyone wants to sue nowadays. I can't say I'm surprised either, worst economy for this market and the industry is getting so bad that there's people actively working on changing the game. I'm one of those people that has hope to change the game... not because I intended to, but because it was proof that the game as we knew it didn't work out.

I still remember the day the beat was made like is was yesterday. in the room was me, my brother, our cousin, and a couple of her friends she invited. I usually don't do collabs, but this one was completely unintentional... Santi and Philipe (mind you, this was the only time I met Philipe) started with the percussion. after 15 minutes, I added the 808 and created the melody. Once we heard the melody added to the beat, we knew this was gonna be a banger. I definitely gate kept this beat from almost everyone around me because I knew within myself that this was a beat I would've wanted to hear Popsmoke on, and I didn't want to hear any critique after the initial reaction we all had. This is the only beat that does not have my tag because honestly, I haven't talked to them in a while and they helped with this. Hope this makes you feel like a badass while speeding on the freeway

"If I listened to everyone else, I would have doubts. There's a deep part of me that really feels like things would work out between us, but I suppress how I feel because honestly don't know how you feel anymore. I know much time has passed, you probably fell in love a few times, maybe it might be too late. I always have loved you and I always will. Everytime I hear this beat, I imagine the idea of "what if we made it work?"

princess

Her vibe gives eloquence and divine femininity. That was how I felt about her before it was cool to use "demure", but now the word kinda sounds cliché since it became a trend. I hope you know what I mean, and I hope this beat illustrates that like it does for me.

demure

I love the baddies, baddies love Vogue, and I believe all the baddies should be on Vogue. I made this for the baddies to keep that dream alive to be on Vogue, or to get that role you've been dreaming of, or for that design to make it on Fashion Week. I pray for the baddies to be safe and enjoy life.

baddies for vogue

Originally, this was intended to be a 90's R&B beat. When I made this beat, a lot of women liked it and told me it reminds them of an era of music and expressed how they miss it when men would yearn for a woman's love. I played this beat to some of my homies and they told me it was giving more of a west coast vibe, which was something I didn't think of to be honest. I named this beat coastin' because it's more of a west coast vibe, but I'm more of a east coast person

coastin'

This beat is my Call of Duty theme song for whenever I hit flashy clips. I used to think this beat needed more until one day I heard this beat in the studio, and it left everyone in the room speechless. Kinda felt like I reached Super Saiyan, in a music sense...

padrino

"Let her go...". I'd be rich if I got paid every time someone told me this. I don't catch feelings often for someone, so it's pretty hard for me to let when I do. Even when I try, I remember how she made me feel and the cycle starts all over again, hence my " I miss her" stages. I named this beat after Guru Pathik because I'll never forget when he explained to Aang that he needs to completely detach to become the best version of himself, a reference that most men can relate to in today's society. Even against the odds, he felt like he was a better self with Katara and eventually defied the odds. Maybe love can transcend destiny, but who knows?

This is the oldest beat on this project, goes back to 2021. This beat almost didn't make it here, but I remembered how it got me through periods of griefs within my life. Back when my view of the world was still naïve... felt like a lot of what I believed was a lie. I was at a vulnerable point in my life, and as a result... I pushed people away that wanted to let me to let them in. I hope that one day, you get the closure you were looking for. I hope this beat helps with giving you closure, as it did for me

mission

I'll let you wonder I meant when I called this "$", but this song got left off the Soundcloud version of (speechless) after uploading the project... twice. Maybe it's a sign that this song will stand out or something lol
