This all started back in the beginning of 2017 when I was at a breaking point in life where I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue making videos and pursuing film production or stay in school and keep working at an apple store until I figure out how to make real money. I was at a point in life where I was also extremely depressed and not happy with myself so I figured I’d try something new to help keep my mind off the negative events that were holding me back. I had begun talking to my coworker about wanting to possibly start rapping and messing around with Logic and maybe freestyle on some beats that I had made at the time, with him at his dad’s work office down the street from our houses. Every Wednesday we would practice and try to get comfortable rapping or singing out loud in person as this became more and more of a hobby to me as it became less nerve racking overtime. Later that year I had met a girl, who would later become my girlfriend the following year, and we became best friends. And after hanging out so much, I had found myself to be in such a comfortable state with myself and around her that one day the life changing question popped into my head “What if, I, made a song?”. I had so many people hate on me and put me down since high school and constantly accuse me of things I never did or claim that I was a person that I wasn’t and I also had a huge crush on her as well as so many untold feelings about her that I needed to let out somehow, so I figured, what not a better way to let this out, than in the form of a song. So my girl and I (at the time) had wrote some songs together but none of them quite worked but one day I was so annoyed with how she kept ghosting me or playing games with me, I decided to write a song about her and the people who kept doubting me or hating on me and next thing you know, that lead to it becoming my first ever track “No Friends”.
