Dead to Me [Freestyle] out now: yt.openinapp.co/DeadtoMeFreestyle
I used to think I needed a label, a budget, or some outside handout to make it in music… but I was wrong.
This freestyle is a letter to the younger me. Showing him that it’s the slow grind, the daily work, and the independence that really builds something real. No shortcuts. No deals. Just consistent pressure.
If you’ve ever bet on yourself when no one else would, this one’s for you. 🌱

When most people plan their trips to Japan, Okayama is not typically on their itinerary. If you love Japanese Denim or just want to explore a quaint seaside neighborhood, Kojima is the place for you.
Crowned the Denim Capital of Japan and home to the infamous Momotaro denim label, Kojima is a jean-lovers paradise. We loved walking around in quiet town & stopping into little shops that caught our eye. We of course bought some incredible Japanese denim while we were there!
Stay tuned for our next videos exploring the Art Islands!

I'm a contestant on a battle of the bands competition and the winner gets to take home a
BRAND. NEW. CAR. 🤯
I've been living car-less in LA for the past 2 years and winning this could be life changing.
You could help by heading over to Hyundai’s TikTok & spam the comments!!! It’s the only place you can hear my brand new unreleased song right now so comment on their TikTok to let me know if I should drop it!
If you can flood the comments & like the post, that would be super helpful & greatly appreciated! 🙏🏽 contest ends on 9/10 & 10 comments per day are allowed per person 🚗

Hype to share my new YouTube video on Organizing My Life with you! I partnered with Branch Furniture on this video, which is actually my first ever sponsor as a creator for my Dear AKINYEMI YouTube channel. I’ve been a huge fan of their furniture for a while and was in desperate need of an upgrade, so this came at a great time.
