Again again! Lmfaooo that's okay I've literally had it on repeat for about three hours now, just having it play over and over again while I finish concrete hahahhaa
There’s a reason I let my kid miss school and see you in Cleveland and will bring him to see you every chance I get. His mom is far gone and I too know what it’s like having lost my dad to the game. We all see this world differently and live it differently. So that’s multiple worlds you’re out here saving with your music. Save one life save the world, and you’re well beyond that. Forever grateful and I’m sure many relate
People who grow up in dysfunctional, addiction families swim through the pain every day..yeah you made it out, your grown but it doesnt mean we escaped......realize you cant hold any responsibility for how you were raised, and you're amazing for pushing through and using it as a catalyst to change your life. Keep strong, your fans are here for you
I grew up this way also. Parents had me on drugs at 12 like using with my parents. Dfax got me and brother. Parents went to prison shit was never the same
This is probably one of deepest verses you wrote man. As someone who has a whole past of trauma and not nearly enough love. Its so hard to get out of the whole that has been dug
Your lyrics mean so much, obviously to so many. I hope you're surrounded by people that care and ask how you're doing these days, if you ever need someone, the fans have your back 🖤 This was your calling, and your trauma is helping so many of us work through ours. Lots of love ✌️
I was bout to pile on compliments and thanks for sharing your skill, talent, and this vulnerability... But as i read more and more comments, I read more and more of your responses. Thank you for being so kind and compassionate with everyone. Truly, Thank you.
Am I the only one who can’t stop listening to this song? Or just Ekoh in general!? Man Ekoh you really have helped me get through some of my worst days and I seriously can’t thank you enough for what you do! ❤
I love all your work, but this song hit home for me and brought tears to my eyes as I am currently working through my childhood trauma in therapy. Its been a long road to get here but having a song that encapulates what I'm feeling is something else. Thank you Ekoh
I wanted to be the first to tattoo your rap name on me when i watched deaudrie but my trauma crowded me. Ive been here since the beginning. Before the strange music crew discovered you. I tagged them countless times in your videos on instagram. Youve changed my life. I can't stop listening to this... It may be the most real relatable vulnerable song I've ever heard. Thank you❤😭 remember when you speak the love it always EKOHs back 🗣🔊
Im stun locked, like this is it, you just spoke my truth in less then 4 minutes. Currently going through therapy, trying to figure this all out, this one right here hit hard, so many of your tracks are on my fav list, but this one right here, right now, is number one. All day, every day. I wish you the best on your journey bro, you remind us so often we are not alone, neither are you.
Ekoh!!!! This song made me realize, no one is ever really alone. Trauma is hard to talk about it, I guess that’s why you rap about it!! 🤘🏼Note: take into consideration, a lot of music artists whitewash people and put up a façade to get noticed. 99% of people can’t speak the truth because they don’t know the truth themselves. That’s where you really stand out in my eyes. Making music helps you process and let go of the cynical and irrational thoughts or feelings that make you feel stuck or have you spinning. A roulette for life if you will. Unfortunately; you’ve endured some challenging times; you know firsthand what trauma does to one or their family/friends. I believe the fact you acknowledge God, and give creditability where it’s due, separates you from a lot of music artists!!!! 💗 Your tracks contain raw emotions. Thank you for your music! 🎉 Ekoh, keep surviving and making music!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 This song hits me spot on. I love it. 🤘🏼 A1 since day1 ❤
“Wanted someone to listen, want someone to care” - God Bless you as we all go down that road TOGETHER. Musical genius ❤ it’s all trauma, especially these last couple decades!
Holy shit man, never heard of you before but glad this video came in my recommendations. Its hip hip like this that this world needs more of. Great tune brother.
I hope youve taken these last 7 months to check further into his musical art. Hes the Best there is and in my opinion ever was but idk maybe im biased for my friend either way hes got so much heart and heals all who listen i believe. Totally worth going back through abd listening. D4tour is by far my fav album out
Every song is more immaculate than the last. you're a flame that'll never go out man thanks for shining bright enough to bring us light through the darkness and hope through the daily struggles that drown us in hopelessness!
There are SOOOOO many men in the country that need to pay attention to these lyrics. I LOVE how he is telling his inner truth. So many young men are so vested in a narrow idea of masculinity that they can't even admit to themselves the truth this young man is telling to the world.
@Ekohmusic I am 53 . You know what I also really like about your lyrics is their lyricism. I notice now-in-days a lot, not all, but a lot of hip hop is verse, lyric, repeat verse. So the rapper only had to come up with lyrics for one verse and one chorus. When rap and hip hop were new there were actually completely different lyrics throughout the entire song. The songs were epic poems. That's not easy. That's why in rap groups each rapper took only one verse and the supers stars were the ones who had the talent to come up with engaging lines throughout the entire song. That's what YOU do and it is a GIFT to be able to do it with the lyricism that you have. I am so happy for you, genuinely it gives me hope for the future, that a young man like use is using his gift to reach other young men who may be going through the same thing you went through. Using your painful experience and your gifts to help other people is The Goddess's work. Keep it up.
The shit that happened when I was a kid had the biggest hand in it. 🔥❤️🙏 I never learned how to deal with emotions. As they came and piled up I started numbing em away with drugs cause didn't understand how to even start to deal wit it. Now I'm grown and now sober. Learning to face and deal with emotions everything and ever kind all at once is crazy overwhelming thing. But I'm doing it finally after the over full lifetime I've lived I'm doing it right. God bless ya brother #keep going #wedorecover #breakingthestigma 🙏🙏🙏👍💪🤜🔥❤️🙏🙏🙏
You are such an extraordinary human. Thank you for helping me get thru my addiction. I'm fighting my addiction with Crystal meth & fentanyl, & currently in a very abusive relationship. Your music saves me day in & day out. Please never stop making music.
The power you deliver on this track in incredible. The power you brought to the stage last night in Ohio will be in my memories for ever! Cant wait to see you again Brother!
@@EkohmusicI hope you're getting back into a routine getting back home from touring. You scheduled was like back to back to back! I appreciated getting to see you so many times this year though!
There’s really no one in this game that gives back to the people, while also giving deep insight on their life, like Ekoh does. I hate how much I relate to this, but I do. Everyone has their own problems and never really listens to mine. I don’t think you know how much you’ve helped me. And I hope with this release, you feel less alone. Cause I know I do. Abandonment isn’t something everyone deals with. When people leave you, or continue to disappear, disconnect, and disappoint, it really makes it hard to open up. No one really knows me anymore. And I’ll gladly keep it that way to save my heart. Keep your chin up and accept this air hug. 🫂 You inspire me to keep going. 🖤💯🌹
Thank you Ekoh. I don't typically listen to modern day music but when it's amazing it's, ......well it's just flat out amazing. I'm going down the Ekoh rabbit hole today and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. From Trauma to Butterfly 2021. I can relate to the song Trauma and Butterfly gives me nostalgic feelings while hearing a new sound mixed in. Thanks man
Bro you helped me get thru the darkest point of my life... Age 28-32 I was horribly addicted to slow. And if it weren't for tracks like this, I'd be dead. I'm pleased to say I'm approaching 5 months clean, and no signs of slowing down. Doing a lot better mentally now too. I love you, man! ❤
@@Ekohmusic thank you for taking time to reply to a filthy old sinner like me! 🖤 I love what you're doing man, and you'll always have a supporter in me 💯
You're awesome! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise bro! You make great music that plenty of people can connect to! You're not just making this music to help heal your wounds, you're helping to heal millions of fan's wounds! Keep up the great work!
You're easily one of my favorite lyricists bro. I would kill to see a collab between all of you, Vin Jay, AND Chris Webby. 3 of my favs yall are so dope
Your existence is a fucking blessing!!! Thank you from somewhere I didn’t know I was there. Thank you for putting it words that most of us/myself couldn’t. I appreciate what you have been through to give us all something that effects the rest of us in a way that we all feel/deal/hate/love/appreciate, etc. To help the rest of us grow into better human beings.
Oh my goodness 💔. I am so sorry that u went through so much in your life. I wish I could give u a hug 🫂. Glad that your career is going well and I greatly respect how u always show your true self. There's not a lot of people like that unfortunately. Lots of love and I can't wait to hear more music ❤🔥
Your very welcome 😁 no one can touch your talent. I hope you are doing good. I'm sending you all my love and, light to always surround in your journey. And I'll be right behind you cheering,bumping your music and, sharing the hell out of it. I listen to you everyday 🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️💯
How the fuck did I miss I just put my headphones in to go finish concrete and opened up UA-cam and your video is the first one on there I was like what the fuc! This is amazing bro I love it, legit Goosebumps! That part about how you haven't spoken to your mom in a year, not knowing if she's even alive anymore... That hit me right in the fucking feels, that's the exact situation with my mother and I, I had to move away from Florida to get clean I live in Montana and she still lives in Florida and she's hooked on about every drug there is, and I agree there is a part of me that would find relief in the fact that she's gone because that would mean she had finally found peace
@@Ekohmusic thank you bro, I really appreciate that! I am doing generally pretty well, July 27th was 4 years clean, I mean I still smoke weed and eat kratom but that's it, and I'd rather that than go back on my meds which make me a walking zombie, at least weed and kratom keep me level yanno? And Idk how Moms is doing, every time my phone has rang in the past 4 years, my first thought is "this is that call, she OD'd and found her body, or they couldn't revive her" I'm sorry you have to deal with that shit too bro, no son or daughter should ever have to worry about that with a parent, but seriously thank you for this song, I didn't realize I needed this til i listened to it I've literally had it on repeat for the last 3 and a half hrs lmfaooo youre a true artist, one of the only ones ever that can give me goosebumps and have me borderline in tears, listening to the deep, hard hitting shit you say is like therapy to me
One of the realest artists out and definitely one that makes you think about what you’re doing in life love your music don’t ever stop man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another great song! We can all relate to music like this. If you feel down, just know that there’s an army of us whose lives you’ve made better with your art, and let that give you strength. 🤍hop
Your lyrics are just amazing man. They hit different with those of us who go through this life without letting others in and without a way to express ourselves without music. Thank you
I lost it on this one and your post about it. Your Light helps on the darkest days. I love you for it, good sir, and I'm sure I'm not the only one So Grateful for you. I'll omit the messiest parts, but.... My mom has been clean for 3 weeks. I quit the bottle a few months ago. Thank you. More than you could know, but please Know. You are a source of Light in this world. Again, thank you.
Always been a fan Ekoh, but this side of you connects with me more than anything i've heard from you before. A lot of us who come to listen to music like yours are just looking for eacape from our traumas. But something like this helps us see that there is an answer somewhere when things are this screwed up for us. Big love man ❤
You are a true poet, you know? I'm writing from Madrid, Spain, miles away from your city, and still your words sound so true and universal. I don't know what to say, thank you, congratulations...Please keep on doing this kind of music!
I came across you on Facebook and came here looking for the song. I found this one instead and I’m crying! I haven’t related to music this much ever! More than 20 years of my life was trauma. My sister and dad both died of overdoses within the last couple years. Thank you for your music and I can’t wait to listed to more.
Wow idk how I missed This song… it’s probably one of the most relatable ones for me. 🫶🏼💜 thank you for putting out the words that some of us can’t even speak out loud
This just made me sit back and think A LOT about how I became who I am and why I act how I do and value and praise certain ideals the way I do. Like, why do gravitate towards independent music, praise independent art and artists the way I do? I always thought I knew but now I'm realizing there's a lot more to it. I guess I'm just saying wow, I can really feel and relate to this!!!
It doesn't matter who you are or what you think you are capable of trauma can cut you off at the knees and take your everything.... this track helps put it to words. Thanks man, great job, very grateful.
This touched me. I got it on repeat. The beat. The lyrics. The real. U already know but never stop. U need it. I need it. We need it. Be you. Thank you.
I wonder if you realize how reliable and relevant this is to many people.... directly and indicate. Everyone should hear this and try to apply the positive undertones
Thank you Ekoh, really needed to hear nothing hit more then that lately but I’m there with with you g still tryna get sober though 1 day at a time!🔥❤️🙏💯
This needs to be in the soundtrack of the Joker 2 movie that’s under production. While we are at it, we should draft ekoh to play the joker in the sequel
honestly, brought me to tears. Couple lines in there just hit me at my core. Makes me feel I am not alone. Also a good reminder for me to be kind to the people I interact with because everyone has shit they are dealing with and some of it you can't even imagine.. Hope you are well, thanks for this song!
Yo, i just gotta say that while all of your music is fire, this is a step above. One of the most insightful and relatable songs on trauma i've heard yet, so many can make songs that evoke the feelings we all struggle with, but very few have managed to do so while actually gifting the audience with great perspective on some of the biggest obstacles to getting better. So many golden nuggets in this song, from the comments on the addictive nature of getting lost in your own head, to recognizing that so much of our baggage is derived from our own subconscious attempts to keep us safe, and how those very defensive mechanisms that protected us can become huge obstacles to our own growth if/when we finally make it to a place thats safe(r). Let alone the wisdom to recognize that keeping ourselves overly safe breeds stagnation. I mean really this song touches on so many important aspects of the way trauma effects us that you could probably read a whole book on the topic and come away with less than a careful dissection of this songs lyrics can provide. Big props to you both for the song itself, and more importantly the obvious progress it represents in your own battle with past trauma. P.s. delivery was on point as well, this song deserves way more exposure then it's currently getting.
Aww Ekoh 🖤🩶 I been a fan of yours for a long time now love every song but to me this is your best yet 🩶 every word hits home with me ... I was really disappointed I didnt get to see ya when you were in Sudbury hopefully you make your way back here for another show soon!
This one hits deep brother. Whether it feels like it or not, your trauma has built you up into who you are today it builds up that armor that makes it to where you can weather anything that comes your way and although things may not be exactly where you want them to be or look how you want them to, they are still moving forward in the right direction. Just as important, that trauma is helping you create music that has genuine heart and is helping the people that this connects with move forward from their own trauma. Music like this is what changes lives and gives people hope when they feel alone. Its just as therapeutic for those people as I hope it was for you to have the chance to lay it all out and confront it. You've got a lot of talent and a lot of heart brother. Keep charging forward and no matter what, stay true to who you are. As far as that inner monologue goes, I know that shit can be toxic as fuck and a helluva beast to contend with. You give it the power though man, means you can also take that shit away from it and snap yourself into the mindset you want to be in. You got this fam.
Damn man that was beyond deep. You deserve thousands of comments and 1 million viewers. Can't say how fire that was. I can't relate to all of it but for sure a little bit. Glad you said it out loud.
Ekoh was a Music Entertainer of the Year finalist last year on my channel. Amazing to see him make so many good songs this year too. Unstoppable talent. Deserves to be on trending page.
Everytime someone likes this comment. I'm coming back to listen
We got another oneeee
Listen again haha
Again again! Lmfaooo that's okay I've literally had it on repeat for about three hours now, just having it play over and over again while I finish concrete hahahhaa
@@Ekohmusicon the next episode Macklemore surprises you with a hug
Hope you're ready
HEART HOP GANG 🖤 love yall. hope this one makes a connection with you.
I know it will 😊
The song is already in my veins. Cannot wait to see the video
I’m very excited and proud of your growth and journey man
@@camisha7280thank you
Thank you, Ekoh ❤
There’s a reason I let my kid miss school and see you in Cleveland and will bring him to see you every chance I get. His mom is far gone and I too know what it’s like having lost my dad to the game. We all see this world differently and live it differently. So that’s multiple worlds you’re out here saving with your music. Save one life save the world, and you’re well beyond that. Forever grateful and I’m sure many relate

That hardest addiction is that inner dialogue realest line ever

The evolution of ekoh has been outstanding he never misses
My man thank you so much
No worries dude thank you too for your music

But as i read more and more comments, I read more and more of your responses.
Thank you for being so kind and compassionate with everyone. Truly, Thank you.
Am I the only one who can’t stop listening to this song? Or just Ekoh in general!? Man Ekoh you really have helped me get through some of my worst days and I seriously can’t thank you enough for what you do! ❤

There's not a lot of people like that unfortunately. Lots of love and I can't wait to hear more music ❤🔥
Thank you so much
So deep I love the emotion and passion in this. God bless.
My life is TRAUMA since born made me closed off and, blunt and, tough, love your music 🎶 THANK YOU ❣️🔥🔥💯
Thank you
Your very welcome 😁 no one can touch your talent. I hope you are doing good. I'm sending you all my love and, light to always surround in your journey. And I'll be right behind you cheering,bumping your music and, sharing the hell out of it. I listen to you everyday 🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️💯
How the fuck did I miss I just put my headphones in to go finish concrete and opened up UA-cam and your video is the first one on there I was like what the fuc! This is amazing bro I love it, legit Goosebumps! That part about how you haven't spoken to your mom in a year, not knowing if she's even alive anymore... That hit me right in the fucking feels, that's the exact situation with my mother and I, I had to move away from Florida to get clean I live in Montana and she still lives in Florida and she's hooked on about every drug there is, and I agree there is a part of me that would find relief in the fact that she's gone because that would mean she had finally found peace
Man. Thank you. Hope things are doing better for you man I know how shitty that can be
@@Ekohmusic thank you bro, I really appreciate that! I am doing generally pretty well, July 27th was 4 years clean, I mean I still smoke weed and eat kratom but that's it, and I'd rather that than go back on my meds which make me a walking zombie, at least weed and kratom keep me level yanno? And Idk how Moms is doing, every time my phone has rang in the past 4 years, my first thought is "this is that call, she OD'd and found her body, or they couldn't revive her" I'm sorry you have to deal with that shit too bro, no son or daughter should ever have to worry about that with a parent, but seriously thank you for this song, I didn't realize I needed this til i listened to it I've literally had it on repeat for the last 3 and a half hrs lmfaooo youre a true artist, one of the only ones ever that can give me goosebumps and have me borderline in tears, listening to the deep, hard hitting shit you say is like therapy to me
I feel like you just ripped my soul out for the world to see like it's a bedsheet being pulled out of a dryer..
What a great description lol
One of the realest artists out and definitely one that makes you think about what you’re doing in life love your music don’t ever stop man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate you
Blows me away you get a reply and dont reciprocate with a thunbs up!
Another great song! We can all relate to music like this. If you feel down, just know that there’s an army of us whose lives you’ve made better with your art, and let that give you strength.
🤍hop
I appreciate that so much
Please God make thus the seed that gets love there!!!!!!!
man. its so nice to hear something I can really feel. such a rare thing these days.
Your lyrics are just amazing man. They hit different with those of us who go through this life without letting others in and without a way to express ourselves without music. Thank you
Thank you bro
I love it man... Can totally empathize! 🙏 I thank you for all the people listening that needed to hear this. 💯
Thank you so much!
I lost it on this one and your post about it. Your Light helps on the darkest days. I love you for it, good sir, and I'm sure I'm not the only one So Grateful for you.
I'll omit the messiest parts, but.... My mom has been clean for 3 weeks. I quit the bottle a few months ago. Thank you. More than you could know, but please Know. You are a source of Light in this world. Again, thank you.
I’m glad to help in any way 🖤
Always been a fan Ekoh, but this side of you connects with me more than anything i've heard from you before. A lot of us who come to listen to music like yours are just looking for eacape from our traumas. But something like this helps us see that there is an answer somewhere when things are this screwed up for us. Big love man ❤
I really appreciate it more than you know 🙏🏽🖤
You are a true poet, you know? I'm writing from Madrid, Spain, miles away from your city, and still your words sound so true and universal. I don't know what to say, thank you, congratulations...Please keep on doing this kind of music!
I came across you on Facebook and came here looking for the song. I found this one instead and I’m crying! I haven’t related to music this much ever! More than 20 years of my life was trauma. My sister and dad both died of overdoses within the last couple years. Thank you for your music and I can’t wait to listed to more.
wow thank you so so much
Wow idk how I missed This song… it’s probably one of the most relatable ones for me. 🫶🏼💜 thank you for putting out the words that some of us can’t even speak out loud
Wow thank you so much
I haven't connected with music like this since Linkin Park. 🖤 Love it.
Damn bro this shits hits deep. Appreciate you putting into words what I never could. My new anthem
Always 🙏🏽
This just made me sit back and think A LOT about how I became who I am and why I act how I do and value and praise certain ideals the way I do. Like, why do gravitate towards independent music, praise independent art and artists the way I do? I always thought I knew but now I'm realizing there's a lot more to it. I guess I'm just saying wow, I can really feel and relate to this!!!
The best thing I can ask for is some introspection or a conversation built around this. I love that. Thank you.
Wow, that's 🔥 right there bro, the emotion is raw, great track, makes you stop and think about what deep trauma is really causing our pain
Glad to connect like that 🙏🏽
You speak to everyone who's broken, thank you for creating man.
Tryin my best
@@Ekohmusic I hope one day you can truly heal from the pain in your life
Had this on repeat since it dropped fr

This touched me. I got it on repeat. The beat. The lyrics. The real. U already know but never stop. U need it. I need it. We need it. Be you. Thank you.
I wonder if you realize how reliable and relevant this is to many people.... directly and indicate.
Everyone should hear this and try to apply the positive undertones
I was hoping it would be
This is so raw and relatable, thank you for this. Healing trauma can be rough.
Thank you for listening!
Don't know how I missed this, damn this hits home.
Thank you Ekoh, really needed to hear nothing hit more then that lately but I’m there with with you g still tryna get sober though 1 day at a time!🔥❤️🙏💯

This needs to be in the soundtrack of the Joker 2 movie that’s under production. While we are at it, we should draft ekoh to play the joker in the sequel
Haha let’s goooo
Man, this not only gave me goosebumps but had me getting all teary eyed. I love your music and I'm thankful to be alive in the same lifetime as you.
I appreciate it so so much
I don’t often comment on videos and I previously didn’t know who you were, but this song brought me to tears. I just had to say that.
Wow thank you so much. That means a lot
We all struggle in life songs like this help us shine like the sun❤
Im manifesting every like heals a piece of us!!! Thank you ekoh and ekoh listeners❤❤❤
I always think that every new song that you put out is your best one yet. Seriously don’t know how you do it. Such a gifted thinker.
That means a lot 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This song hits me hard.What a masterpiece 💯🔥🖤✌️💯🔥🖤✌️💯🔥🖤✌️💯🔥🖤✌️💯🔥🖤✌️💯🔥🖤✌️💯🔥🖤✌️
honestly, brought me to tears. Couple lines in there just hit me at my core. Makes me feel I am not alone. Also a good reminder for me to be kind to the people I interact with because everyone has shit they are dealing with and some of it you can't even imagine.. Hope you are well, thanks for this song!
🙏🏽🖤🖤
Yo, i just gotta say that while all of your music is fire, this is a step above. One of the most insightful and relatable songs on trauma i've heard yet, so many can make songs that evoke the feelings we all struggle with, but very few have managed to do so while actually gifting the audience with great perspective on some of the biggest obstacles to getting better.
So many golden nuggets in this song, from the comments on the addictive nature of getting lost in your own head, to recognizing that so much of our baggage is derived from our own subconscious attempts to keep us safe, and how those very defensive mechanisms that protected us can become huge obstacles to our own growth if/when we finally make it to a place thats safe(r). Let alone the wisdom to recognize that keeping ourselves overly safe breeds stagnation. I mean really this song touches on so many important aspects of the way trauma effects us that you could probably read a whole book on the topic and come away with less than a careful dissection of this songs lyrics can provide. Big props to you both for the song itself, and more importantly the obvious progress it represents in your own battle with past trauma.
P.s. delivery was on point as well, this song deserves way more exposure then it's currently getting.
Wow. Thank you so much that means a lot
Thank for making the music that you do. You're music has helped me during im darkest times
Bro your an inspiration through your lyrics,always bring the feels with your bars 🔥❤🤘
Thanks a lot man
Aww Ekoh 🖤🩶 I been a fan of yours for a long time now love every song but to me this is your best yet 🩶 every word hits home with me ... I was really disappointed I didnt get to see ya when you were in Sudbury hopefully you make your way back here for another show soon!
Ahhh thank you!!
This one hits deep brother. Whether it feels like it or not, your trauma has built you up into who you are today it builds up that armor that makes it to where you can weather anything that comes your way and although things may not be exactly where you want them to be or look how you want them to, they are still moving forward in the right direction. Just as important, that trauma is helping you create music that has genuine heart and is helping the people that this connects with move forward from their own trauma. Music like this is what changes lives and gives people hope when they feel alone. Its just as therapeutic for those people as I hope it was for you to have the chance to lay it all out and confront it. You've got a lot of talent and a lot of heart brother. Keep charging forward and no matter what, stay true to who you are.
As far as that inner monologue goes, I know that shit can be toxic as fuck and a helluva beast to contend with. You give it the power though man, means you can also take that shit away from it and snap yourself into the mindset you want to be in. You got this fam.
That’s so true man. Thank you
This is the one. I’m saying it now. Ekoh is stepping into himself.
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
God, I love you guys. 😊
Damn man that was beyond deep. You deserve thousands of comments and 1 million viewers. Can't say how fire that was. I can't relate to all of it but for sure a little bit.
Glad you said it out loud.
I appreciate it so much!
Makes me sad you get a real reply and dont give a thumbs up
Ekoh was a Music Entertainer of the Year finalist last year on my channel. Amazing to see him make so many good songs this year too. Unstoppable talent. Deserves to be on trending page.
Man I appreciate that!
