Stacy Adams gets real on "JanuaryHigh"

This song is pushing towards the idea that you can make a hit without giving up the content. And by that I mean that there are a lot of people who actually start out decent and have their own sound but end up changing everything about them and what they talk about to create an image that they think people want them to be instead of actually just being themselves. Then you have the majority of people who are older than you assuming that anyone young is just selfish and senseless until you drop some Truth in their laps. Stacy Adams is a song I wrote a couple months back while I was on my way to some event. I was kind of just freestyling to myself and playing with some bars in my head and one of the lines was "I make a wave and stay afloat," and I had looked down and the shoes I had on were Stacy Adams. Since the vibe of the song is kind of like I'm coming at your throat with some real shit the next thing I said was "Stacy Adams on your throat." Being that the beat had a Boom Bap sound I wanted it to have a old school feel. Malik Miller, who I met back in high school, was doing some deals on shooting videos that week so we linked up and I showed him the song. His vision was on par with mine so I knew he would capture it the right way. If you support IMG keep rocking with us. We don't disappoint.
