I tell my story through my music... (Turn my music up!) #thestory #and #thestoryteller

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

You only know the version of me that survived 🩸

Before the music and the blueprint, I was running completely blind—selfish, numb, and chasing things that almost cost me everything.

Verse 1 of "Born Again" isn't a metaphor. It is an unvarnished confession of the man who had to die so I could stand here today. No autotune. Just raw truth over heavy 808s by $kally.

"I promised I was coming. But I'm not coming."

Those were her exact words over the phone during our final conversation. An hour later, Benitta was gone.

No metaphors. No punchlines. Just the raw recording of the phone call that broke my world in two, laid out over $kally's production in FL Studio.

I didn't write "Last Moments" for streams or playlists—I wrote it so her voice and our final goodbye never fade away.

If you’ve ever lost someone before you could say everything you needed to say, this one is for you.

Read the screen.

They thought this open verse was safe. I stepped into @iamdarcslim's "G.O.A.T." challenge and turned 40 seconds into a surgical clinic. No autotune. Just bar-for-bar warfare.

As the verse declares:
"Time to separate the sheep from goats / But shit is like separating bitch from hoe"
If you respect technical rap that actually says something:

You only know the version of me that survived.

Before the music, the vision, and the discipline, I was running completely reckless—numb, selfish, and taking whatever I wanted without remorse.

"Born Again" isn't an artistic metaphor; it’s an unvarnished confession of the man who had to die so I could stand here today.

Real rap requires blood on the page. No filters, no autotune—just a brutal testimony over hard drums from $kally.

Stream the full song and hear how the story truly unfolds:

They said this beat was untouchable after what #LilWayne and #Drake did to it. Absolute masters. 👑🎤

But when a story needs to be told, the rhythm calls. I stepped in to lay down the #GonorrheaFreestyle to show what real narrative talent looks like.

Tag @liltunechi and @champagnepapi if you want #YoungMoney to witness how the legacy continues. 🎧🔥

They said Weezy and Drizzy owned this beat forever. 👑🎤

They set the benchmark, but the book wasn't closed. Stepped into the booth to deliver the Gonorrhea Freestyle—unfiltered grit, relentless cadence, and zero safety nets over a classic backdrop.

- Hit FOLLOW to lock into the regime.
- Hit the link in my bio to SAVE the official freestyle playlist on YouTube.
- Turn my music up!!! 🔊⚡

They told me to hold back. I took the title instead.

Shoutout to @iamdarcslim for throwing down the gauntlet with this "G.O.A.T." challenge beat. Had to hop in the booth, black out, and set the standard.

60 seconds. Zero filler. Pure surgical cadence.

I used to think my past disqualified me from everything.

Before the music and the vision, I was running reckless—selfish, numb, and chasing things that almost cost me my soul. I wrote "Born Again" to put the old version of me in the ground for good.

No autotune. Just a brutal confession, heavy FL drums from $kally, and the raw truth about what happens when you finally get pulled out of the dark.

I’m giving early access to the day-ones before this hits Spotify and Apple Music.

A few years ago, before I even had a producer, when I didn't even have an MP3 of my own to play for anyone...

Me and my day-one from day one, made this crazy 😜 dub over a siiick free beat and uploaded it to Audiomack.

It's not my best work—looking back at it now. But it surely is a great piece of work that proves I always had it 😌

Enjoy the full song and a couple other classics in my Audiomack playlist. Link in bio 🔗 taken in Jos, Nigeria by @lawrence.chayi

They told me hip-hop was dying, so I brought it back to the laboratory. 🧪🛰️

No safety nets. No pitch correction. Just pure, unadulterated storytelling laid over the absolute masterpiece of a wave created by the brother @jay_fkayy.

Had to take his legendary "Austin Powers" canvas and paint a whole different kind of picture on it. 🖼️🔥

If your playlist has been feeling like a generic loop lately, consider this your system upgrade.
