about

Birth place: Frontyard Studios, Chamblee, GA (2010)

“American Dream”kind of made itself, honestly. I remember hearing the Aretha sample and thinking “Oooooooooooh wooooooooord”. The hook was the first thing that came to me. I began to think about my wild days (binge drinking, ecstacy, failing classes, etc) and I started to regret a lot of things that I have done. For some reason, I thought I had a hiding place in the high that gracefully dumps me back into a lamentable low.

We all seek escape at times. Sometimes, we just travel the wrong routes to get it. But deep inside, you know there is a light inside of you. You put it out temporarily to wallow in your woes but you secretly know it is always there. Fighting your way out of anything that could kill you is something to be proud of. At that time, I dont think I cared. I completely let myself go. Having had to close my eyes and reliving that during the recording session was a little difficult.
