“Working with Omen is a blessing, and a privilege that not many indie artists can say they have with any producer of his caliber,” says Narez. “Omen is a genius at what he does. Our synergy is great, because the level of respect I have for him allows me to have total trust. I don’t need to question his calls, because I know that we’re both on the same page to make great music.”

Bringing together such a diverse array of lyrical talent for Successful Suicide was important to Narez, who values each important contribution to the album. Instituting personal messages into his own songwriting, Narez does feel that Hip Hop fans will appreciate the end product.

“The music on this project is pieces of my life, and what I went through at the time that I wrote each song. I think that people can relate to it one way or another,” Narez says. “My two personal favorite tracks are ‘Cut’em Off’ and ‘Life Charger.’ In ‘Cut’em Off’, I describe why I have to cut certain people out of my life but I describe it through a story and giving graphic details. ‘Life Charger’ is also special to me because I wrote it right after a friend of mine committed suicide. I’m telling everyone that we all need a Life Charger to recharge ourselves, instead of letting ourselves die out.”

As the releaase date of Successful Suicide nears, Narez is hopeful that longtime fans will remain steady with him as he attracts new ears. As he lays his life out through the music, Narez asserts that reaching people on a realistic level is his number one goal.

“As an artist and a person, my objectives are the same – to be as honest as I can in my music and in how I carry myself. Even if my stories or my conversations can make me look vulnerable at times, my strength is in being able to say what other rappers wouldn’t want to share. My victory is in how I overcome obstacles and motivate others to overcome similar obstacles.”
