Recorded at Milwaukee HFCA HS.

Written by Mr. Derrick.
Produced by Jayden, Xaire, Zaria, Mr Derrick.

Block 5 made the class beat together as a group and all agreed that we should write about manifesting our success. Harmonee and Zaria were supposed to be on the song with Xaire, but they both changed their minds. This leaves Xaire with a solo song as her first recording in the N4N studio at HFCA! Mr Derrick chose not to give her any advice about rapping the verse or how to flow it. Xaire did a great job and her energy and personality shine throughout the performance. We love this one! 

"Yeah right yeah right, we need big $$ in our lives!"

This track came together during my very first session with Ella. We started by listening to one of her recent covers, before deciding what to do next.. After a few minutes of brainstorming, we landed on a 2010 Bruno Mars ballad. Within the hour, we were recording. The vision was a simple and soulful stripped-down piano ballad, light on rhythm, lifted by gentle strings. We are currently writing our first original together and are excited to share this first collaboration.

Ella is a 14 year old member of our Austin location. She has been a member since she was 8 years old, starting with piano, and also doing recording, production, songwriter and more.

Ariel's first single of the year continues that pattern of confidence she naturally exudes. The title itself is a bold statement for an 11 year old, but this is no regular tween. She had the first line of the hook ready before any production was done. She directed Josh as made the beat and helped form a few lines but make no mistake, this is Ariel's world, and we're just living in it.
