People are going to think this is boring but its not. Its just slow feel thats why. Great production and nice hook by Taktix..it fits perfectly. Jon Hope lyrics were perfect! This is straight chill uplifting music. Dope!

This industry would be a lot better if artists had as much to say as Mr. Hope. If its boring, that doesn't mean its bad. It just means it can only be appreciated if heard in the right setting.
Who else feels certain music cannot be enjoyed in certain settings? Discuss this within your feedback!

We all love hip hop for different reasons (too many to list).....
Jon Hope has a cool swagger about him from his delivery..... it's definitely not boring ..... @ WOW - this could get better with a few more umm .. forced listens. LOL .... but she is entitled to her own opinion ,& i respect your opinion, whatever that is,... prod. is tight ... and tops it off with Hope’s sweltering verses.... |

The song would be really nice if it was properly MIXED & MASTERED! Poor sound quality and poor mix is def taking away from this artist.
Every instrument can't be the same volume, one has to compliment the other.. |

This has a real feel good vibe to it. Hope's lyrics were on point, and I definetly think he's a force to watch out for in the future. Hope to hear more from him. This is a banger.

This is a great track. Each song (and music, in general) definitely sets a mood, and has its own "feel". This song has a nice comfortable encouraging feel to it, thats how music should be, inticing emotion and feelings into the listener. You jus have to be open to the emotion the music is trying to bring out ...if that makes sense haha!
