The Story Behind “18 Self Adjust “ “ I HAD TO ADJUST MYSELF TO ACTUALLY BE AT A PLACE WHERE I KNOW WHAT TO ACCEPT AND WHAT TO REJECT ” Z - How has the reaction to your latest Album ? C - People been Honest with it, people been going on details to let me know how much they like the proj- ect, which to me means they actually took they time to listen, and I appreciate that. People Fuck with the project Z - What does the album title reveal, if anything, about the album impact and themes C - Imma have to go with this, the 18 in the title stands for last year 2018, and that’s the year that revealed most of the things I talked about in my songs. 18.Self.Adjust is a full stop to a certain stage of my life, in a way that I’d say that I actually know what I’m into, and it’s more about appreciating what the uni- verse chooses for you and making peace with what- ever that is. I had to adjust myself to actually be at a place where I know what to accept and what to reject, who to keep and who to lose, and mostly how to live with myself after every single choice I make. Self Love is Precious and for- giving ourselves is really the hardest thing we go through as human be- ings and I can say that my album is light to that, a free space for love and inner peace. Z - How would you describe the sound of your new album to any potential new fan? C - 18 Self Adjust sounds psychedelic on its pop side, a mix of nostalgic melodies and rap and a Little bit of soulful R&B sounds. Z - How long did it take to record 18 self-Adjust? C - I started working on it sometime last year, April to be specific but as I was working with two producers, two different studios It took longer than expected , the recording sessions were done by August, mixing and Mastering took the rest to the first week before it dropped. Z - Why did you release Pardon Me first? C - Actually I dropped Too Proud First not Pardon me, And I honestly dropped it because it was ready at that time no other reasons, Z - Please inform us about your favourite songs and lyrical highlights and why? C - Well Deep Ends is special to me, It was actually the song we recorded first and it’s the kinda song that shaped the album, in a way that I’d say that I knew how the album was goin be like after makin Deep Ends, and the Album came exactly like that, One of my favorite line in the song is “ That Smile is worth a fortune, I pray you never lose it” i fuck with the song really , I feel like I was talking to everyone in the song, and that makes it special.. little things is one of my favorite too, after everything we go through in life, it takes less than a second for life to end, Same as how it starts, and the truth is that little things in life makes it worth it, my favorite line is, “I’m always up but I stand down when Mother Na- ture responds I’m only righting my wrongs, Hopin’ I’ll get to watch while you grow.” Ice Alert “ I saw my life as a dream and now that dream is my life,” “All that trust should be yours you can’t trust nobody” First Time In Italy, “ I don’t wanna be alone in this town,” it’s just more than it is to me. Pardon Me “You’re vibing with another me”
