I just realized, this version of Lil Baby Crush uses a sample (the live guitar) from Jaco Pastorius - Portrait of Tracy, and to me it made this whole live performance 10 times cooler. That’s really why I love music. The way we put sounds together to make it into something special and heartwarming. Thinking, was the track originally produced using a sample from that song, or did someone realize the melody fit so perfectly afterwards?

Me as an underground artist with a small audience, Jordan Ward is the type of success story that inspires me. It's been inspiring to see how he's grown in his abilities and steadily exploded after embracing every chance he's been given! With good reason, Mans has swiftly become a hallmark in the music business. I know that if I work hard enough, I can eventually reach a wider audience, but for now, I'm satisfied as a supporter. It'll be my time next.
