This song was made in 2018 and was inspired by 03 Greedo’s song Rude & Zoning. My friend had just showed me 03’s “First Night Out” project and I was extremely inspired. He was a breath of fresh air since Young Thug came out in 2014. 03’s raspy delivery and realness inspired me more to be myself and what I was going through at the time on the record. It’s a shame 03 got locked up at his prime. I think he would have really changed the game more than he did already. #FREE03 “Let Me Breathe” is about having my own space and at the same time my dealing with asthma. Breathing emotionally and breathing physically.

Usually if I’m excited about a song I’ll show it to a close friend right away but this was different. My friends and I at the time were hosting an open mic called Take The Mic in Harlem every Tuesday night, gearing up for a big event we were hosting across the nation that September. Tuesday came, I got off work from an after school program in the Bronx I was working at the time, I had brought my equipment to work including a guitar and interface, took the train down to central Harlem on 116th street and prepared myself. I listened to everyone who went before and enjoyed their performance and made sure to not eat anything, as I found too much food before a performance can hinder the energy from coming through purely, and I like to give myself a good reward after doing something that requires a lot of energy. I performed last out of everyone, and started with a simple folk song. Moved to play the song and the crowd was happy. All the energy and excitement I had for the song I let it out at that moment and it was the more profound moment I had with an audience.
