Written in the wake of Donald Trump's presidency, the first verse of "I Want More" calls on political figures to take a grittier stance against oppressive systems rather than conform to respectability politics, as well as the desire to see more artists with influence take on political stances.

In the second verse, however, written in the 4th quarter of the first year of Trump's presidency, Lynae shifts her perspective, emphasizing the power of the people. She challenges poltical figures she very well respects, yet takes note of the things that cannot follow us into true liberation-- advocating for accountability and genuine representation of the populace's needs.

Frank Kole is the artist formerly known as Comethazine. On "Autumn Leaves" the rapper behind "Walk" does not rap at all. He plays trumpet, backed by a pianist, on one of the most famous jazz standards ever written.

Who was Comethazine?


Comethazine came out of East St. Louis, Illinois, during the late-2010s SoundCloud wave. He was known for an aggressive delivery, the viral hit "Walk" and the Bawskee mixtape series, and he was named to the XXL Freshman class in 2019.
