to every artist/person out there, your life & career will hardly ever just be vertical, and the purpose of art goes beyond charts, sales, analytics, algorithms. this shit has its natural & unnatural ups & downs, but the best thing you can do is create things that are honest, so that you never look back & have regrets. everyday you’re breathing you get an opportunity to reintroduce yourself & put something meaningful out into the world. do the work. have fun doing it. everything else is a bonus.
On this day 10 years ago we dropped Caroline. Very grateful to still be doin this thing we call music. My brother @pasqueheatitup not here rn so I had to photoshop his face on Wes. we made the beat in his goose hallow apartment and then recorded it at portland state university in a random music school classroom. I only used the name Caroline cause I loved roses so much. Justin told me maybe we should drop this song and I thought sure that’s cool wit me lol Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for all the years of listening (truly). Gonna go back to recording dis album brb
Hearing JID’s verse for the first time😭 It’s clear when an artist doesn’t take the record seriously.. and it’s clear when he does. Shout to bro. I got carried. Lol. My “damn bro” at the end 🤣🤣 Super proud of this record still.
The journey of an artist is a long road of up and downs. To anybody on the path, just know you got it. Get disciplined, trust your vision, and continue seeking ways to improve
