Dreamville, eat your heart out. This song is like ten years in the making. I first saw @thetowngq at a Jamla showcase in North Carolina in 2012. One of the dopest shows I’ve ever been to (which became one of the sketchiest nights I’ve ever had, but that’s a different story), and he quickly became one of my favorite artists. Fast forward to SXSW in 2018, trekking through Austin around midnight with the #sidechat collective, and I see a white piece of paper on a hole in the wall club that just read “GQ”. I convince the boys to check it out. Lo & behold, 9th Wonder is DJing to a packed house the size of my living room. Life is full of these serendripitous moments, lately I’ve been trying to pay more attention to the tap. Fast forward to last year, weekend of my birthday. I’d been going through a breakup and had actually reached out to the homies’ wives to ask if I could borrow their mans for a weekend. To help me heal (to drink with me). God bless their hearts, they were happy to get rid of em for 36 hours, so a good part of the team was able to come out and celebrate. But it was Kyle Devine who made the trip a day early. We recorded three songs over the course of around 8 hours, two of which we had planned. That’s a No, however, came from the dirt. We’ve all tried to squeeze love from a rock, but I watched my guy extract blood from the same Bond Street concrete we’d just walked a half hour prior. Kyle made the beat around 2:30am. I somehow freestyled the hook you hear now & about a year later we got GQ to feature. There’s a million reasons this one shouldn’t have happened. Maybe I’ll actually drop a verse on it someday. Pretty sure this joint doesn’t actually have explicit lyrics, but you gotta admit the sticker fits like a dream.
Some people would sooner run a red light than write you back. Might be that they don’t like you. Might be anxiety. Could just be a bad time, maybe they’re washing their hair! Maybe you just have the wrong number. Could be anything, but most likely and almost certainly … it’s that they don’t like you.Two way street, though. Bust that u-turn, player, make it poetry.Roses are redMoney is greenThey’re in her DMsYou left her on Seen.Lol, never claimed to be Billy Shakes here. Still, you feel better? Balance restored? Got some Diddy bop in your step?Be careful with those IG likes, my guy, more than two in an evening and suddenly your girl Cassie’s a friendly ghost. You’ll figure it out.
His original version is so sad as a ballad that I thought my remix should introduce some more drama and give him a bit of anger about his loneliness.
Searchlight stems from my love of 90's era hip hop and how it influenced me as a kid to become a music producer.

I sought to recreate the musical aesthetic from the civil rights era with a modern vocal to show the parallels between our past and present realities. In 1980, Stevie Wonder released a song honoring Dr. King called, “Happy Birthday.” My hope is that this song, much like Stevie’s, resonates with you so much that you want to use it to help remind people that we need to change as a society. The internet is the greatest tool we have to promote a positive message world wide.
“Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. “ - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Words From BJ
I’m a part of the generation that is fed up with white supremacy. It’s real, as well as white privilege. This song is a rage and pain reaction to 549 years of oppression. I’m an awakened sheep that refuses to settle for the flock’s condition. Ase’
