New Release! Perfect Music Video

Connecting perfection in the moment

I’ve always been somewhat of a perfectionist.

The voice in my head telling me to tweak a verse, even after I’ve left the studio. The deeply ingrained habit of needing a perfect swish before I leave the basketball court, blazing sun and 110 degree heat be damned.

Waking up at 3am with pangs of anxiety about the one phrase I could’ve tweaked in a client proposal.

Perfection drives many of us to go harder, think more, and refine our skills.

But what if you are perfect, here and now?

Try that belief on. Say to yourself “I’m perfect, here and now”.

Do you have a chorus of angry mind voices who have a dozen reasons why that’s not true?

That happens to me sometimes. A lot actually.

So how do we reconcile our current existence with the ideals of perfection in our mind?

For me, it’s been to let go of my ideals of perfection. No matter how much rational sense the ideals make.

I’ve found that these ideals actually separate me from the perfection of the moment. From the perfection of divine connection.

Iteration, divine implementation…
Riding the wave that became my presence 

Perfection doesn’t lie in my mental world. It can’t. It only exists through the surrender to the divine force of life. The force that enables us to breathe, regenerate cells, convert food into energy, process waste, and balance millions of microbes without thinking knows a lot more than our brain can comprehend.

This music video is a great example of surrendering to divine perfection. In my mind, I imagined shooting some promos for the song by myself.

Those mental images felt meh. Then I remembered meeting RJ, a photographer and videographer with an amazing eye and openness for collaboration that I met at Culture Hub.

I decided that I’d go to Culture Hub to shoot the promos and hope that he’d be there to help.

He was more than happy to assist, and we ended up going on a mini adventure that featured 3 full-length takes of me performing the song on video, kick-ass b-roll, and a delicious slice of Pizza from Ziggy’s. At the front, it was a normal pizza shop. A bit small. But then RJ showed me through a hall way and we found the GAME ROOM ⬇️

Overall, this release has been… PERFECT. I’m blessed to have the community around me that allows for this beautiful spontaneous to emerge. Shout out to RJ for his willing co-creation and dope filming skills. Shout out to Ziggy’s Magic Pizza Shop for a magical place to film!

Full Lyrics

I gotta make this perfect 

I gotta make something that’s worth it 

can’t be at my ego’s mercy 

Withstand the test of my purpose 

When I drop this track timing perfect

Drop it for ya’ll, you deserve it 

Perfection is not for purchase 

It’s built through imperfection and working yeah 

Iteration, divine implementation 

Expressed through many nights at my work station 

Some think it was easy but that’s not how I made it

Only found perfection once I saw my demons faces 

They say there’s no such thing as perfection 

I disagree it’s in every moment we blessed with 

Inside the madness there is always a method 

Riding the wave that became my presence 

Perfection is surrender to things we aint expecting 

Twists and turns don’t stop life is always messy 

If we try to control it From our perspective 

Understand there’s way more than your perspective 

someone probably saw this track as perfection 

And I only saw the flaws and the crevices 

I release control that’s the lesson here 

Perfection is here just don’t mess with it 

I gotta make this perfect 

I gotta make something that’s worth it 

I can’t be at my ego’s mercy 

Withstand the test of my purpose 

Know you got it know you on the wayyy

And you get closer every dayyy 

When something needs to come out just let it spray 

Don’t let your mind get in the way 

It’ll ruin what your doing blockages and confusion

Comes from not accepting the present solution 

Here and now there’s no fear allowed 

Loosen my grip on what I think I’m out 

Time to bounce 

Imma bounce 

I be around 

But never down 

Is this allowed

Is this allowed

Imma make 

The team proud 

I gotta make this perfect 

I gotta make something that’s worth it 

I can’t be at my ego’s mercy 

Withstand the test of my purpose
