Told you I’d be back sooner than later. Trying to be a man of my word, even when it’s more convenient not to be haha.. My dad used to use that saying on me from time to time- the one about how an honorable man’s word is his bond. When I was younger, I thought I knew what it meant, but as I’ve gotten older and somewhat wiser, I’ve found that there’s much more to what he was trying to instill in me in order to become a man- a man of honor at that. It took my fathers passing for me to learn, but that’s life for you. Sometimes you gotta lose in order to find yourself.

Speakin’ of which, I didn’t have to dig too deep to get this one out on wax. The words came and next thing I knew I had a finished song on my hands. Sat on it for a month or so, not knowing when would be the appropriate time to release, but with Thanksgiving right around the corner, it just feels right. This may be the last one for the year, but we’ll see. I’m hoping to have a brand new Christmas joint for you this winter. Don’t hold me to it, though.

There’s quite a bit of verbiage in the song altogether, but I’ll give some insight on the record. Let’s start with the title. “Good with God” refers to how I’m living. Not to brag or boast, but things are goin’ really well in my life and I believe it’s because I’m doing right by God; I pray and give thanks, I fast and pay tithes, I provide for my family- anything that I believe is pleasing to God, I try my best to take action on. I used to suppress my spirituality because I didn’t think it was appropriate or cool to share through music, but I realize I was making up excuses so that I would write about the worldly things instead. I have no intention on being a Christian artist, but that doesn’t mean I gotta stop being a Christian while I’m writing these songs haha..

“Momma look, no hands— S/O to Elon Musk!” a reference to the autonomous driving mode, which is available in all three models of the Tesla. Had to mention the smartest man alive, especially after his legendary acquisition of the Twitter platform- which I’m very happy about, by the way. I may become more active on Twitter, then again.. maybe not.

I mention a few names in the second verse; String (George Tuiasoa), AK (Ake Fulilangi), Sione Ray (Tu’ineau), Wild Bill (Pila Toki), FatCat (Tomasi Burke). All of these brethren have passed, but I felt inclined to keep their legacies alive, somewhat, with this song. George has a record called “Simple Man” and I used his hook to open the second verse with. I could’ve added a slew of other names, but we don’t want a 10 minute song, do we? Haha..

Anyway, I poured my heart out on this one. Let me know if you feelin’ this- if so, don’t be a gatekeeper and share it with anyone and everyone you know. If you ain’t feelin’ it, let’s hope I get it right on the next one haha.. As always, my people, THANK YOU. Much love for your continuous support & love. Got more to come so stay with me. ‘Til next time- BLESSAWP!

Just Got Started Loving You (COVER)

Can i call you my girl

Recently, I’ve gotten into reading more as part of a list of goals I set for myself at the end of 2020. More specifically, books that I think will help me progress in all aspects of life; mind, body & soul. The first book I made a point to get into is Jordan Peterson’s “12 Rules For Life”. People who’ve read the book often compare it to self-help books, but not long into the read, I understand it to be much more.. a world-help book haha (cheesy). Peterson really emphasizes on the fundamentals of being an effective part of society by focusing on that which every individual can control. Yourself. For example, Rule 4: Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. Seems like common sense, but truth is common sense ain’t so common these days. Applying Rule 4 can be difficult when you’re hardwired to social media. It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing who you are to the portrayals that make up your feed- especially when you’re young and impressionable. Fortunately, we all have the ultimate power of changing our own circumstances. True, we may need help overcoming certain obstacles, but I think we underestimate ourselves, and more so we underestimate the help God can and does provide.

I really didn’t bring up the book to rant about it as long as I just did, but to bring up the goals I set last year for 2021- in which I included the release of more music haha.. But yeauh, I do plan to release 1+ song every month instead of waiting every 2-6 months. I admit, it was so much easier for me to knock out songs when I was driven by being within the circles of the successful. However, when I found that most of my counterparts are being held up by strings, behind smoke & mirrors, it took a lot o’ wind from my sail. I’ve only recently realized it’s all a game and that’s just what I’m working against. Not to play by their standards, but to compete at my best- the classic story of Man VS Machine, like John Henry the “Steel-Driving Man”. Only difference is I’m workin’ with an axe hahaa.. I’m hilarious, I know. Anyway, feel free to hold me to what I’m puttin’ out there- I need it.

This song was produced by LecczBeatz, whom I’ve stayed in contact with even though the last record we put out together was “Pull Up” featuring Fiji. That was 5 years ago. Within the 5 years, LecczBeatz and I have worked on various records, but none I could really push out there for one reason or another. I tend to pile on the workflow until it becomes too overwhelming to handle, then I end up moving on, forgetting about what I started and didn’t finish. It’s inefficient, but I blame the artist in me haha.. We’re here now. LecczBeatz has really been honing his craft in the mean time and that fact will shine through this record. It’s flawless in quality and in arrangement- my dude really brought out the most in this record and I hope you can appreciate that as much as I do. Special thanks to LecczBeatz again & again.

Lyrics of the song by yours truly, inspired by life & imagination.. among other things. Words that many men and women can identify with, I’m sure. If you haven’t lived it, you will through this song haha.. Maybe you’ll understand it, maybe you won’t. I don’t ever know for sure, but I do hope for all my content to be relatable. That’s one of the more important factors to me as a writer. A challenge sometimes, but worth the work when a song becomes more than just that to people. I think we as human beings naturally feel validated when we know someone else has been through what we as ourselves have been through. I think that’s why we’re drawn to certain people and groups. I’m no expert, but makes sense to me haha.. Whatever the case, I hope you enjoy listening to it. More to come- I promise. Much love from my side to yours, friends. Thank you so much for listening and welcome to my new listeners. Stay safe. BLESSAWP!
