We took our time with this record to make sure that God, and what he entrusted me with, was represented correctly. Every song is a testament to the scripture that reads ” in our weakness his strength is perfected”, I’ve had many obstacles upon my entrance into this industry, but every time, I’m a witness that God will strengthen you in troubled times.  This record started in a basement in Mableton, Georgia and grew from there, I hope that you are enriched by something you hear on this project.

Thanks to Kurt Kanhai for producing, engineering, arranging, and being such a huge part of this record. I often refer to you like the other side of my brain brother. It has always been an honor of mine to be able to create with you, and here’s to creating many more songs that aid in reconciling man back to God. More than the music, thank you for being a genuine friend to me man!

Justin Gilbert(Bishop), Danteus Malone(Bug), Dana Sorey, Rick Watford, Autoro Whitfield, and Morgan Turner you guys are all amazing musicians and it’s still low ‘key surreal I was able to get you all on one project! Thank you and i cant wait to do it again!

Jimmy Johnson, you are one of the industry’s biggest kept secrets! You and STEMS will definitely take the world over! your creativity is a breath of fresh air and thank you for sharing it on this project! “ya heard me” lol

Jane Slack-Smith, Elliott Ellerson, Aubrey Davis, Joy Perrymond, Roslyn Waller, Jazmine Crumley, Kelli Ellis, Raymon Carter, Gwen Henderson, Quinton Allen you all are invaluable. The professionalism, talent, and anointing you guys carry helped make this project what it is and I’m forever grateful for every one of you all. It’s hard to refer to you guys as only my singers because i consider you all my family, i love you guys to the moon and back!

Malaco/AIR, Tommy Couch Jr, James Robinson, Darrell Luster, Eboni Funderburke, and Neily Dickerson thank you guys for your belief in myself and this project, I am honored to be a part of such a rich legacy of gospel music and to be surrounded by the gatekeepers and hitmakers of this industry.

Lastly but not least, thank you to my amazing family. The scripture instructs us to train up and child in the way that he or she should go and when they are old they won’t depart from it. From the time i expressed a passion for music you guys have watered that seed and watched it grow and bare fruit, and i am eternally thankful for your love, patience, and a constant dose of truth!!! i love you guys with my everything!
