A FEW DAYS LEFT IN FIRST ROUND VOTING!

If you’re a Recording Academy member, I hope you’ll consider giving my album, "It Was Supposed to Be U" a listen for Best Spoken Word Album. @grammys

This project is a love letter to the soul.. It’s about the beautiful, complicated and sometimes devastating experience of loving someone, losing someone and finding yourself in the aftermath - with that 90's love nostalgia feel.

I wanted to create something that HEALS again. Something that reminds us of the power of words and the healing that happens when we turn our real life experiences into art.

To everyone who contributed their talent and creativity to this beautiful piece of history, THANK YOU. We put something special into the world, and I’m forever grateful to every person who helped bring this vision to life.

This album healed my soul 🖤

WHAT AN HONOR 🖤

My sophomore album, "It Was Supposed to Be U" is featured in Billboard Magazine @billboard AND being considered for a Grammy!!!

From turning real life experiences into art to seeing this project recognized on a platform alongside some of the greatest artists in the world…. I am truly grateful.

This album is a piece of my life. The love, the lessons, the disappointment, the healing, and everything in between. To see the story travel this far means more than I can put into words.

ALL MY SUPPORTERS - GO COP YOU ONE!

To my team and everyone who contributed to this project, and every person who has streamed it, shared it, or supported my journey - THANK YOU. We did this together!!

FEAR off my album #INTIMACY is one of, if not my, most vulnerable poems ever. Featuring the voice of @obbiewest as the voice of God. ⁠
This poem was heavily featured in my article in @people magazine. ⁠
