Why Not 4 Nothing?

Why a 3 part trilogy? All self-produced? Recorded, mixed & mastered by myself?

All graphics & cover art designed/edited by myself?

Why would I go through all that trouble & what does it even mean?

Yeah I love the process, but the reasons for these decisions go a lot deeper,

Let me tell you…

When it came to music, I had finally found it,

the thing that I could do for hours on end & never get bored,

the thing that allowed me to express myself & feel both seen & heard,

the thing that allowed me to build something that no one could take away from me,

the thing that gave me a vision that only I could see clearly…

& if done right, the positive impact I would have on the people & world around me, would help me fulfill my purpose in life

This was never about living fast & being some sort of celebrity or having material things, unlike the motives of most other people who choose to pursue music

To me, this Trilogy was a solo mission…

A deep message that I feel inside to share with you

Only after I made the first album did I know I would have to make 2 more to drive this message & solidify my place in music

What does it mean?

The whole concept of N4N is about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

& achieving your goals against all odds, overcoming any obstacle

knowing that anything you’re facing now, ultimately serves a purpose of being the stepping stones to your greatness, that you envision for yourself

These challenges & things you go through are literally Not 4 Nothing.

When you hear these tracks I want you to feel motivated, I want you to feel at home, I want you to feel invincible like anything is possible

I want you to cry because the soul of the instrumentals I play tug on your heart

& the poetry in the lyrics I rap resonate with you on a real level

That’s the power of music

& most of all I want you to be inspired

The Movement

Not 4 Nothing started as an album & turned into a movement that changed my life completely

The energy behind this 3 part series is the energy I stand for & embody everyday

I’m known for being creative, ambitious & never backing down on my goals

Anything I ever achieved came from believing in myself & the vision I had no matter the circumstance

& sometimes, all someone needs is to be reminded that they can do it too

I choose to lead by example, in hopes to ignite that same flame for others

& you can lead by example too

If you feel where I’m coming from, then you understand

I see a world where we can all remind each other of the power we have

especially at times when we need it most
