For the feature she enlists fellow Grand Rapids Native Steven Malcolm, who adds value with his superstar flow that gives extra light on this must hear song.
Fight for Your Life (feat. James Tellis Jr.): “Chin up, head to the sky” One of the greatest elements of this project, is the ability to not only show range but get the listener invested in a real way, with this record being a shining example of that. She gives her fans a taste of her singing that, makes you feel every word, and delivering amazing emceeing, with a vocal sample of her father at the end on soulful work of art.
You’re Worth It: “Don’t forget to love yourself” The life gems that people come to Hip Hop for, is what this record is packed with.

I Do What I Want (feat. Lola Blanco): If there was a record on here, that you know will be a fan favorite, come performance time you know it will be this one.

Ladi Dadi (feat. Rebel Kuzco & J.Rob): “You only live once, don’t be wasting time around here” The classic Slick Rick record is flipped and given new life on this record.
