Trk 2: Never Let Them Down

Picture
This song was inspired by my friend Julie Finley's Daughter, Tori, who was wounded in a drive-by shooting on Butternut St. in Syracuse. After Hearing the news I was not able to sleep that night and was compelled to write this positive Hip-Hop track . I was given the entire song in a dream-state. I believe it was divinely inspired. After more than 12hrs of working on each element of the song (bass,guitar,horns and vocals) it was ready for the studio. I performed the song at my daughter Ja'nea's (2nd from the left in the pic)  school at a "Say Yes" BBQ and this is where I recruited the Kids who are singing the powerful chorus "Never Let Us Down" on the track. With the help of Vocalists - James Gaines, and Monique Moshaty the song was Mixed and Mastered By Emmett Van Slyke at Black Lagoon Production. This Track is dedicated to the Youth of Syracuse.
