#SMOKENMIRRORS OUT EVERYWHERE! I wanna thank everybody involved and those that inspired me. I consider this my first project. My first attempt at making a project that represents my true self. I’ve realized that finding validation in others is only going to lead to disappointment and that all you need is your own approval. These songs were made as reminders, a time stamp in my life story so that I never forget where I started changing. When I started believing. I wanna thank @ben.m for holding me down and believing in me from the jump. And him being confused about where I was in my career and how he felt called to take action. I wanna thank @chrisray1245 for being in my corner, helping me capture myself sonically. I wanna thank @snakechild_ for putting that battery in my back. He invited me over and said ‘it’s time for you to make the music you were meant to make.’ That sparked this whole spiral and I love you for that Bruh. I wanna thank @lefilmmm for capturing me like no one has ever done. I cried the first time he sent me developed film. I had never seen myself on film. I feel how I look in the photos he takes. Linked off mutuals online and it’s been up since! I wanna thank @zoodeville for seeing my vision and bringin it to life. I him about making multiple videos in 1 setting/ 1 day and he went on to do 8videos in 4days and gave me rough edits the week after we shot em! 🤯.He was the only person willing to take the risk and executed on a level, I’ve never witnessed. I wanna thank @motherwata @garrettgloom @swann.wav @wade08_ @hueblinegcmb @louieslambo @matissemarie @pharaohsingleton @miles.grdn @i_am_deion @lynaecook @itskibae @diamond_chasemi anybody else who contributed. I wanna say thank you to you if you read this, if you leave this app and play the songs when you need them. I understand this music isn’t for everybody and every moment but I hope it has a place in your life somewhere. I hope if you’re ever in doubt, discouraged, down bad, depressed, in your feelings, feeling small, defeated, Unmotivated, distracted, distant, I hope you can play something off this and it gives you the strength and power you need to not give up or give in. I love you. #snm
