This song was born from a particularly tough time in my life. I had just left a toxic work environment, and I was grappling with a whirlwind of bitterness and frustration. It was a time of personal struggle, but also one of growth and faith. Learning to let go, forgive, and seek God's guidance wasn't easy, but it was a journey that has left a lasting mark on me, which I've tried to express in this song. Alongside me, Dayveon Porter shares his testimony of surrender amidst the hardship of the streets, marking his debut release!

Down Bad Ft. Dayveon Porter

I hated the feeling of discomfort while waiting for God to answer my cry for help. I wondered if he heard my prayers or saw the injustices I saw.  

“Let Me Go” was written during a season of seeking answers. I was serving in ministry waiting for God to open the next door. I was frustrated by the trauma I saw in my students, coupled with feeling powerless to create change. I felt hopeless amid hopelessness. 

Have you ever stood for something and wondered what was holding you back from speaking out? I was tired of waiting for God to bring justice to the students my heart burned for. This song is a cry out to God, but equally a statement of faith. Despite my searching, I was certain God is good and just. Even though we find doubt in our situations, God has the final word.

Let Me Go

Sitting through 14 court hearings in one year, I was tired of hearing the same headline. “5 Teens Arrested In Stolen Vehicles After High-Speed Chase.” I watched students I deeply loved fall into the Trap. While I haven't ridden a stolie, this song is a story about stealing cars and finding a way out. It’s empathizing with hopelessness, but showing hope in Jesus.
