NOPOINT's remix is dropping soon!!

ahhhhhhhhh!!! So... it's been a while, huh?

Today is November 16th. 6 days away from the release of NOPOINT's remix!! Here's a little backstory:

NOPOINT was originally recorded at our old "studio" apartment that was owned by someone we refer to as Mr.Fraud (yes he's terrible but that's a story for another time CL*Y).

I wrote it to symbolize having faith in yourself and your abilities whilst on the confusing journey towards your goals. How do we know the right steps to take? How do we know if we're making the right decisions? We don't know.. until we take the step.

So, if we're all just winging the fuck out of life - why not move with confidence in yourself? No one else will do it for you. No point in racing her, let em go two to three... it's just you in your lane, and your focus is only ahead. Let everyone else's opinions and negativity fall behind you and take second and third place. YOU COME FIRST, ALWAYS!!!

Jay made this remix as a kind of surprise, and I loved it instantly. It gave the song an entirely different vibe while still keeping the meaning. It's more poppy, more lively, more energetic... taking life by force, bursting forward into a sprint and enjoying the wind in your hair (with lingering focus on anxiety of course).

Anyway, November 22nd. I hope all of my listeners in the future are enjoying it right now :)

And... here's what the cover looks like:

Currently I've been swamped with stress from all areas of life. Deaths in the family, problems with money, stress from school, all while still trying to navigate my identity and my relationships with others. It's not easy yet I'm still here, still trying, and never giving up. I mean shit, I'm recording the remix's music video tomorrow! I have my final week of dance classes every single morning next week, and a full script draft due this Thursday. I haven't even begun to study for my Law Gov class which I've failed before already.

It's a weird place to be in, because while I don't want to break my consistency streak with beats and music content... I can't afford to slip up with my grades now. It's my final year at Uni, and I've wasted enough time... it would be such a disappointment to my friends and family... and especially myself if I were to fumble now. I think the whole "I never wanted to be here" and "I'm only here bc my family wants me to be here" made me forget how free I could be if I just got it over with. There's no backing out. Just get the degree so everyone can finally leave you alone to continue chasing your dreams.

Anyway lemme stop ranting. I'm hoping my release this week goes well. I have a beat battle in my Discord server tonight. I have a beat pack to send to one of my favorite Dancehall artists.... it's a lot. But let's get it!!
