It’s just now that I am really listening to the reason for the name of the album and that was truly a transitional time in my life I went from having my dad just a phone call away to never being able to talk to him again and I had to make some decisions about my life and what I was doing with it. Nao, I thank you for this album from the bottom of my heart.

      Black people founded the peace and love movement before the hippies usurped it. They have been the authentic ones, merging peace, love, spiritual practice, and music from the beginning. This new wave of RnB is just another part of this grander cycle. Dave Chapelle is right that African Americans have always been the ones to make America better, truly solution oriented and just wanting fairness and peace.
