It’s a 12-song tribute to the father who passed away when the Chicago-born and raised rapper was just three years old—the rare shout into the existential abyss that actually receives answers echoing back.
It’s a coming-of-age story rooted in life, death, and legacy. It reminds us how the dearly departed can leave behind an indelible light.

even through today,
we gon find a way,
now all my people say,
we gon find a way,
I done seen a messiah,
Seen a messiah,
funniest thing
it was living right inside ya
all your soul needs is a little bit of fire,
a clear mind set and a heart that's inspired,
I know the b******* in the world got you tired,
and every word is food cooked up by a lair,
sit with me while we smoke our desires
vibe to my words
let this sound take you higher
even through today,
we gon find a way,
now all my people say,
we gon find a way
even through today,
we don't find a way,
all my people say,
we gon find a way
You see
it's a very long path to the other side,
with a little bit of luck we gon be alright,
see every life lost we going to take in stride,
for the fear is near
but our hearts stay high,
oppression defied,
no barter for pride
yet people still die by the hands they defy,
our vision is one if there's peace on our side,
maybe k. Dot was right
see we gon be alright
even through today,
we gon find a way,
now all my people say,
we gon find a way
even through today,
we gon find a way,
now all my people say,
we gon find a way

Hella Personal, regardless of your experience, there are a multitude of tracks that speaks both generally and specifically to the human experience.
Writ large, it's a post-modern microcosm of being human.
Writ small, it's a vibe tmomonet
