Showcasing a flair for melodic alternative hip hop and delivering tight lyricism, the single was written in reflection of his life and career achievements to date.

“Sometimes having reflection on life to see how far you’ve come is all you need to assure yourself that your moving in the right direction…Truly I’m not scared to die at all, to be honest. But I’m not scared to die because I know I’ve lived and living the best life I can, because I know who I am, I am who I am, I achieved so much and I’ll die for something and never stand for nothing”, explains Mali Jo$e.
