about

We want this song to serve as an article, a note to each of you reading this, that when you are done, it should leave you better than it met you. You should get pumped up and recharged with positive self vitality after every replay!

I - ARREY ETANG ( ArreyEtangOfficial ), advocates for self governance. It is due to the uncontrolled manner we live our daily personal lives which has, spilled into the stalemate we have in our nation today. It has had people cry out for independence from oppression. Therein, though, lays not the type of independence we sing in this song. This is about the liberty of expression of gifts in a 3 world situation of life where EXPRESSION is drowned in bottles, and disdain for those in active service of creativity is rampant. We were born to do! This is a call for ACTION in you natural field of expertise! #LiveInTheFuture

AMDI advocates for artists who are shunned upon and dismembered by their own very crowds, families, and fan bases. Pressurized and almost squeezed off the light of their gifts, they turn to drown their rather mutilated self-esteem in bottles of alcohol like those who fore-failed and now rant just to juice out the power of self motivated belief in ones potential. He stands in the way for the future generation to get this song as a reminder in tines of low self worth and temptation to back down, calling them to never give up.

INSPI advocates for the women in our lives who birthed us into this reality, with gifts they had little or no role deciding we would have, and are disturbed - from the attacks of societal & family norms, and the wish for the progeny's success - receiving most of the blame and name on our behalf. INSPI in this light remembers the lost and fallen ones missed by their families ever since the violent clashes emerged because of the lack of FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. If you are a creative and you are picked upon, DO YOU AND DO YOU ACCORDINGLY! That's INSPI's message.

STANIS serves as a reminder of the complex relationships creative persons encounter in balancing between friendships and cultures in our generation. Pointing out that whatever we do with our gifts and talents is for the betterment of you – any and every one of you. He also speaks emphatically about your gifts (inspiration, ideas) being #VALID & available to you always, reminding that you should invest on them as that's the process we follow in the recording studio to enhance ours.

Everybody is a business, stop depending on the government for employment. Learn to deploy yourself
