about

(At one point, I rented Freshpac Studios for a “Staycation” in which I slept on the studio couch and had at any given time a half dozen musicians hanging out and helping me out as I worked around the clock on songs. At this point the creation of the album was very communal, everyone was giving feedback, everyone was trying their best to make the album as good as possible. Everyone had their unique talent to bring to the table. I believe that team work is how you make the dream work. Album executive producer Maxwell Davis and I have spent years cultivating this network of artists and systems to get multimedia art created and disseminated. I treat my team like a family and this song is a celebration of people coming together to make art and to make their lives better and features a diverse cast of musicians including Savelle The Native (Who it took 7 months for me to nail down for a verse), the reggae artist Michael Leslie, and even my former student and beatmaking prodigy Droog.)

lyrics

Life is too amazing
For me to ever waste it
So I’m staying activated
In the name of creation
Juicy Fruit Tasting
Forever Dream Chasing
Say I may flirt with death
But I make love to live
Make love to her right
In touch with the vibe
So I go all night
Til the morning birds sing
And get you so high
Might as well grow wings
I used to be a kid yo
My feet in the dirt
Now I’m big bro Plaedo
Hanging with the grown folk
And tonight we gone
Gather round the fire
Dance on the grave
Of the burning empire
And sweat our prayers
Like Awwwww Yeah!
