░░ So the inspiration behind this album kind just came out of the blue. At
░░ the beginning of this whole worldwide pandemic/quarantine madness, I was
░░ having a very tough time getting into a creative flow. I just didn't have
░░ any inspiration to create any music and honestly, I didn't even want to
░░ listen to music. Most people would think that becuase of the extra time
░░ at home I had that I would be able to pump out tons of music with ease.
░░ That really wasn't the case. I took a month and a half off to reflect and
░░ to spend time with my newborn son and my lady. Then it happened. One
░░ night I couldn't sleep so I decided to get up and start listening to some
░░ records to see if I could find some type of inspiration. I eventually
░░ came across a record by this guy Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He was the
░░ spiritual/meditation guru for the Beatles. I listened to his record in
░░ full and began chopping up his words of wisdom to possibly use in a track
░░ or something. Next thing I know, I was I laying down piano, drums and
░░ bass and ended up creating the beginning stages of "We Gotta Do Better".
░░ This was the first track I completed a skeleton for.
░░
░░ I think around the second month of us being quarantined, I started to be
░░ more in tuned to the police brutality and racism going on around the
░░ country and the world. To me, it feels like deja vu. It seems like we
░░ just went thru something similar with the murders of Trayvon Martin and
░░ Eric Gardner 5-6 years ago. Today we have unarmed Ahmaud Arbery murdered
░░ by white civilians and unarmed George Floyd murdered by a police officer.
░░ Smh! There are so many more to be named.
░░
░░ Between this pandemic, being stuck in the house and the protests world
░░ wide, there is a looming uncertainty about all of this shit. I put all of
░░ my heart, soul, time and frustrations into this EP.
░░
░░ I hope you all enjoy my contribution to the fight!!
░░
░░ Thank you to all of the artists that are featured on this EP. I
░░ appreciate your voices.
