You have to dig deep to make great music, and it gets harder and harder. It's a difficult, painful process to reach deep in there and pull out the real gems. And you have to have that little bit of anxiety of, 'Can I really do this? Am I good enough?' You need that in the recipe to really get down in there.

The 'Bryson' song was a focus track. I dropped so many gems throughout the whole song. I don't want no bars to go over nobody's head in my light songs. If you apply them to your real life, you will see change immediately. Apply it to your life and I just know it will help someone.
