We’ve encountered a lot of hurdles on our grinD.
When I received the beat by B. Will from Rivers, instantly I heard the melody for the song (Work), and I knew right away that I wanted to collab with my guy Supreme Carl to pull off this idea. At this time I had been developing the concept for my first EP (Lust & Love) and was 3 tracks in. I reached out to Preme, pitched my idea and he came on board. What I appreciate about working with him is that his grind matched mine and in less than a week we, Preme, Rivers, Cam and I were at Penthouse Studios recording this track. Although released as a single (Work) is one chapter in the story of (Lust & Love) and serves as a pivotal point in this sequence of events.
Relationships let alone are never easy, so of course breakups and the days and weeks to follow can be a complicated and confusing time. So many displaced emotions and unresolved questions leave most people looking for closure. (Work) is the aftermath of a bitter break up. In this chapter we see that things go from bad to worst and are extremely heated to the point that it can’t be contained. No longer just a personal issue, this break up is starting to affect their careers and feelings must be checked.
My team and I have been working on this for a minute. We’ve encountered a lot of hurdles on our grind, but in spite of the set backs, God has blessed us to be able to pull it off. So with pride and sincere gratitude to all who have helped to make this possible we bring to you the second single (Work) form my EP (Lust & Love).
Enjoy…
