About The Release

SPEEDOFLIGHT marks a bold departure from my usual rap style, as I step out of my comfort zone to explore my singing voice. This track captures the essence of a high-speed chase, inspired by everything from the relentless pursuit in GTA to the universal feeling of escaping negativity and chasing your dreams at full throttle. The song’s imagery blends the thrill and tension of evading the cops with the powerful message of leaving behind the things that hold you back. As the chorus states, "On a high speed chase, ain't nobody finna catch me... this the perfect mixture of exciting and frightening," it's all about facing life’s challenges head-on, even when it’s scary. Produced alongside my long-time collaborator 92elm, the track fuses alternative R&B with gogo influences, creating a dynamic and unforgettable sound. For a bit of fun, I even took inspiration from Steve Lacy, recording the final vocal takes using just my phone—keeping things raw, personal, and real.
