  • Since the murder of my cousin, I had been searching for the right way to properly express my grief. This song and video is dedicated to his mom (may she rest in peace) and any one who has lost someone to violence.

      It's not that they don't listen, it's that they don't understand what he says. If he dumbed it down, then he'd get a lot more views. This is an ancient fact.

    Hey Locksmith,
    If you ever read this I want to just say thanks. Thank you for being real and speaking about life. Its artist like you that help me stay in college and off the wrong path, despite its temptations to greatness. I'm not sure what happened to rap lately, but its rarely something you can be motivated and inspired by. Between you, Common, and Kayne West (back in 2009 and earlier) among a few other artist your all I have left. So again thank you for being real and I just hope you never change and let social media take over as you make it up the ladder.

    This is honestly like one of the best songs EVER. It's so deep and expressive while still being well above average lyrically. Locksmith is inarguably one of the most real rappers to pick up a pen and the way he manages to merge amazingly detailed multis with a truthful and vivid story is simply amazing. I can't wait to see where his skill takes him especially now that Hip Hop is back.
