– “Beautiful people, what’s good? Listen. I was supposed to be bringing out my album, titled ‘Gratitude.’ I’ve been waiting for this corona period to get over, but I don’t see that coming any time soon. So what do you want to tell me, should I drop it? I’m asking because I don’t want to look too insensitive, but trust me, I want to drop that album… It’s fire.
“Tell me what you think, should I drop it or should I wait till after corona?”
The album comes after the artist released his last body of work title “Chulo Vibes. The last body of work was an EP with quite some nice songs on it, that fans loved and just couldn’t have enough of.
