One last album, then I&#8217;m hanging it up. Forever. I was so done with chasing something that isn&#8217;t promised. Heartbroken because I couldn&#8217;t find the love I once had, recording my first song at 13. Now at 30, seeing life differently, of course. Once upon a time, I wanted fame for all the wrong reasons. Now I want people to remember my name. My character. The work ethic! </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.deeperthanrap.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Deeper Than Rap!

Coincidentally, my middle name is Daniel&#8230; I could expound further, but I may use it later, so I&#8217;ll revisit that some other time. </p><p>As I started writing, the music became a collection of unfiltered conversations with God. He was speaking to me and through me. It was at that moment that I realized I was on an assignment. Instead of it being my last album, I decided to approach it and everything else I do from that day forward like it&#8217;s my last. I gave it everything I had. I can live with that, but I CANNOT live knowing I didn&#8217;t try. That&#8217;s how I want to be remembered. That&#8217;s what you call Legacy!</p><p>Prayers and Parables became the title of those unfiltered conversations with God.
