about

n March 29, 2019 my father turned 73 years old. “I heard you were turning 42 today” I joked with him as I prepared to leave the house. I had a studio session booked in the afternoon, I knew I was going to be out for the remainder of the night. “Correction, 24…” he said as we both chuckled. I hadn’t kissed my father on the forehead since I was a boy… not until that day. I told him I loved him a total of 3 times before I left the house. My family has a tradition of going to dinner the weekend of a birthday. I was looking forward to celebrating my dad’s 73rd.

On March 30, 2019 my father suffered a stroke and passed away. We never got the chance to go to dinner. I had been having a weird feeling in the weeks leading up to his birthday. I was talking about him to anybody who would listen. I saw a picture of him when he was about 19 years old. It was a black and white photo, but I jus remember staring at it for what seemed like hours. 30 years old and I had never seen a picture of my father THAT young before. In my own way, I knew that 2019 would be the last time I’d wish him a happy birthday. I knew he didn’t have long… I jus didn’t imagine it being the NEXT day, ya kno?

This past 365 days have been the hardest I’ve ever had to endure. First birthday without him, first Christmas without him…. And now, I find myself celebrating what would have been his 74th birthday without him here with me. Well, what you are about to (or maybe already have) listen(ed) to is me honoring him through the same thing that brought so many disagreements and bonding moments between us: my art.

HiSonGreWings was originally conceived in 2016 after I moved to New York n it was going to be about how my music had taken me from Mobile to NYC. It was a whole ‘nother album. 15 songs, none of which are on this version. From a pure rapping standpoint, I’d say it’s better. After my father passed though…I noticed SON would stand out whenever I read the title. I decided to strip away much of the bravado that I thought was mandatory for a hip-hop album and decided to tell my story the mos personal way possible. Think of this album as a film: the songs all separate scenes…

For everybody who has ever taken interest in my journey, this is the past 5 years of my life, the most aggressive I’ve ever been about achieving my goals. It is told through a more mature perspective this time around., a perspective that sees the whole picture instead of jus wanting “Success”. This album is shaped by much of the wisdom my dather gave me in my lifetime. I’ve always been hard headed (I think I get it from you), but since you’ve left, I’ve heard you more clearly thatn ever. this is in memory of my father, Clyde Foster Senior. Rest Well, Old man... Love you, always
