And then, you know, lastly about that, I have to.

I gotta protect my blood pressure.

I gotta protect my stress level.

And nothing, hear me out, nothing is worth me stressing over.

I don't care how big it is, there's a solution and we can work through everything.

I don't care how big, how grand, how, oh my God, the world ain't ending.

No.

So that's why you probably would rarely ever see me like just, and if you ever see me losing my mind or something,

you got to know somebody went to the ends of the earth to really just get me off my square.

Kind of pretty much that.

So I just always believe, you know, as a musician and as an orator, a speaker, a deliverer of messaging, you have a responsibility.

I don't want to just create songs and music just for no reason.

I like to always have a message behind it.

And again, like I said previously, I like to have an objective as to why I'm recording.

And that first album, which was in 2012, was the very first time of me branching out on my own.

And I needed to show just how I've grown and how I've matured and what type of lessons I've learned in my young adulthood and in my young marriagehood and fatherhood and parenthood and all those things.

And so I was very intentional about capitalizing M-A-N

lowercase in the UAL, because I wanted the listeners to understand that this was a man coming into his own, but then also using what I've experienced as a manual, a how-to guide on how to love, how to forgive, how to be present, how to get a do-over, like all of those things.

Yeah, Brothers United of Atlanta.

We're still going strong, man.
