On May 7th 9:00 am I woke up to a text saying my Grandmother’s house was on fire… I lost everything… everything except my hard drive with every song I’ve ever created… and my MacBook… that showed me that I still have purpose through my loss… God just needed to take everything away… to make room for what I’m destined for. That Fire… birthed this song.

Like, that’s something worth dedicating a song to, isn’t it?

Chicago-based rapper, Chi TheRealist wanted to inspire others to get through their own personal fires and learn to embrace the loss, as it simply makes space for better things. The rapper, known for using pain-filled lyrics combined with stunningly acrobatic flows to deliver messages in his music, shares his realizations and insights, joined by Kt TheGangsterRapper and the brilliant Danielle Ponder, whose vocals shine at the end of the track. Surrounded by the soulful instrumental, the tight bars from both rappers create a dynamic and ultra-charged motivational atmosphere, which leaves no space for frustration or thoughts of giving up in the face of hardship.

The exciting blend of oldschool and newschool influence contributes to the emotional impact of the track, and will surely keep you on your toes till the very end of the track!
