Man where do I start
First and foremost I want to thank God for allowing me to see my visions come to fruition. This process was a challenging journey stepping into this world and deciding to do this project really pushed my limits.

I got to give a major shoutout to the Kingsley Krew for encouraging me to make this happen. Special shoutout to the Queensleys for pushing me, without y’all sending me screenshots of having the music on repeat I don’t know how I’d keep pushing through.

Special shoutout to SiMitrē - bro your guidance and patience in working with me on this project is boundless. Without your expertise, I don’t know how would navigate this space. The majority of this album was recorded with you and I know that’s the reason that it sounds exactly how I wanted it to and then some. Thank you for helping me bring my ideas to life.

Special shout to DJ Avelanche - bro you sent me YGGTD in 2015 saying that I inspired you and that I had a healthy grasp on unique melodies. I still remember the look on your face and how impressed you were when you heard my verse for Tuskegee.

FloReal Vibe Sessions you were my first toe into the water for music. I remember you and Doboy being in the studio teaching me how to approach unique pockets of a melody.
Speaking of Doboy, bro you have had me on multiple projects of yours and have consistently encouraged me telling me I had something special.

Dagiven, appreciate you allowing me to tag along your journey as a musician and teaching me how to count bars.
Mainey Vent and Page Kennedy - as lyricists, I respect your harsh yet subtle approval of a punchline here or there is part of the reason this album happened.
Tyrhee Spivey, appreciates all the convos about this musical journey (We Goood).
Ron G, Ben Teflon, and Bankshot appreciate your encouraging words.
Tehran thank you for your honesty.

Tanjareen - thank you for every late-night listening session and words of encouragement. You heard everything.
To CT - bro you having Tuskegee in rotation means everything. You could have listened once and never listened again but the fact you kept going back to the music is the reason I kept going.
To Nate Jackson - you are one of the most musically inclined people I know and our 5224 freestyle sessions are part of the reason this project even exists.
Tony Baker, Keenan, and DC - I will never forget your first reaction in front of the old KOS location. And knowing how hard you guys are as music critics, I appreciate it.
Courtney, Alexis, Aurielle, and TiffTalk - thank you for your early support.

A special shout out to Ricardo Flanagn, an artist name Father Flanagn, our conversations about being a comedian and pursuing music would last for hours. I miss you bro and wish you were here to hear the album.
Cerain Baker, I remember our conversations about music and our journey through this art form. I miss you and I’m going to turn it up louder so you can hear it in Heaven.
