Honestly, I look at myself and feel like a marketing genius. I don’t care what anyone says, I’ve been laughed at, talked about, and even had friends question why I’m still doing music after all this time. People have thrown me in the dirt, but somehow God always picks me up and I walk out clean. I tell people all the time, throw me in the jungle and I’ll find a way to make it work. I’m an adapter, always evolving and ready for what’s next. 💯

In Nashville, 85% of the music scene is predominantly Caucasian, overshadowing talented Black artists. Despite their remarkable skills, support remains scarce.

A true boss isn’t just about opening doors for yourself—it’s about who you bring with you. 💯 Lil Wayne didn’t just build his legacy, he made Drake’s possible. That’s real leadership. 👑 Who do you think are some other artists who have paved the way for new talents? And how do you define real leadership in today's world? Share your thoughts!

Staying true to yourself, no matter where life takes you, is everything. 🙏🏽 When I was locked up, I found motivation in people who pushed community, made a plan, and executed it when they came out. Big respect for that! 💯

A lot of people see religion one way, but the real power lies in the connection, the belief, and the action behind it. 💪🏽 I grew up Muslim, then found myself in the church, and even in the streets. But through it all, seeing brothers stand strong in their faith really inspired me. So much love to everyone who's out here creating change and pushing forward.

I can honestly say his energy is unmatched. 💯 People would go to him for peace—like, you were the go-to guy for the CEOs, huh? Yeah, man, it was all about how you carry yourself in there. Being locked up isn't the end, it’s about how you navigate it. It's another world, but it's how you handle it that counts.

For me, it was about bringing that brotherhood, no matter where you're from—Bloods, Crips, Gs, Vice Lords, it all came together like family. We didn’t need a lot of rules, just respect. I wouldn’t call myself a peacemaker, just a soul who knew how to vibe and bring that energy. 🙌🏼 I respect you for that, bro. You're here—that’s what matters. Glad to have you in this building. 🙏🏼

Spent a year in jail, came out with a whole new vibe—cocky energy, fashion, & self-love. 💥 You know how rappers drop hits & merch? I did that too, but for me, ‘cocky’ isn’t just a vibe, it’s a message: LOVE YOURSELF. 💯 I say ‘I love me some me’ because, real talk, nobody’s gonna love you like YOU can love yourself. How do you practice self-love in your daily life? It’s not arrogance, it’s self-respect.
Too many people forget that, and it’s the root of stress and pain. What’s one thing you do to remind yourself of your worth? So, yeah—put yourself first. 💙 Share your self-love journey or tips below!
