| “Recording this song came from a place of battling between my walk with faith and the streets. After fully devoting my life to the Spirit, this record was simply me hearing the beat and feeling like I had too much on my heart not to speak. It came out grounded in truth, carrying that undeniable Detroit bounce we create here,”says Courtney Bell. |
