✨ Honouring the 90th Birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and 5 Years of Inner World ✨

Five years ago today, Inner World was released. The Dalai Lama’s debut album, a musical offering reciting mantras and sharing short teachings, woven through music. The aspiration was that this work might bring moments of peace, stillness, and hope into our everyday lives.

For your birthday, Your Holiness, we hope this offering continues to benefit countless beings.

His Holiness said, “Music has the potential to help people in a way that I can’t. It can return us to our true nature of good-heartedness.”

We will always be grateful for every moment this work has been able to hold someone, through grief, to support a loved one as they transition from this life, or to bring light to times of darkness.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this work into being. And to everyone who has received it and continues to receive it.

Your Holiness, your unwavering commitment to compassion, nonviolence, and the wellbeing of all beings has inspired generations. You have given your life to peace, and we are honoured to have walked a small part of that path through this work. May it serve as you hoped it would, and may you live a long and peaceful life.

“The very purpose of my life is to serve as much as I can.” The Dalai Lama

It seems our band has spawned a smaller, more questionable band. Doing a lil ting with the whānau āpōpō. @okok_band_ will jam a few hip hop orbiting, jazz adjacent sonic explorations 130-230.

Good music hits on a different level. Sometimes words can explain the connection or the reason why we become obsessed with a song.

I never once thought about streaming numbers, sales, views, likes or shares when making music. It’s always been about how it makes me feel or how I can express.

To create is necessary. Without it, I don’t know what life is.

I love that this song we created called ‘Easy’ sparked these conversations @northcityrizzy @abrahamkunin @paulmclaney. I love even more that the song has a depth to it that makes it feel timeless and so damn relevant for right now too.

I’m keen to hear what you think once you’ve heard the song. Click through the link on my page to experience it. Listen & let me know here in the comments or hit me on DM. by @abrahamkunin

Do the lyrics still hit when the music isn’t there? That’s my test as a MC. The words have to be engraved with a feeling, with a level of energy that resonates without the support of anything else.

In that way, when the music hits, the combination of sounds becomes undeniable. It hits on a frequency level.

That’s part of the science of music to me. The alchemy of it all.

When I heard @northcityrizzy’s verse on this song we created together, it hit deep. I felt like I found not only another dope MC but I found a new bro who resonates on that same frequency. Even though we come from different parts of the world, we connected on that level. And music was what brought it all together.

This song we released, Easy, is something deep. Take your time with it. Sit with it. Feel it. See what it sparks inside you.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, hit the link in my bio. We dropped this at the end of April and the messages I’ve received from some of you so far remind me that music truly is an art. An art that brings us all together in the most beautiful way. It’s a precious thing.

I been lucky to work with @ink_abee since his first single. Mixed and/or mastered a bunch of tunes for this project, played some guitars here and there, and produced this one playing in the background.

Congrats and happy bday to little bro, and love to @flewnt_mc @tani_ahh @i.amsolo and the whole @fn_focus_official fam.

No matter who you are, where you’re from or what you’re going through, music can be the bridge. It can be the thing that makes us feel seen and heard. It can comfort us during tough times.

This song “Easy” is that. It’s a friend for those who need it. We wrote it, inspired by the idea that sometimes the hardest things to do in life are theoretically meant to be the easiest. Like telling someone you love them.

It’s just come out today. We’re excited to be able to share it with you. Our hope is that this song may be there for you, whenever you need it.
