Start the rapture 😂. We're cooked. The garbage we listen to is one of the main reasons society is a mess. We need to get back to uplifting music that helps us vibrate at a higher frequency that spreads love and unity. This garbage is a tool used by the elite to suppress the masses. God bless us all. Change gone come, but it's up to us to initiate the change. Moving past rap and this garbage is the first step

Best part about this is he actually has soul in his music and really just wants people to feel the vibes he did. That’s when you can tell an artist is doing what they do out of pure passion.
