Top Billion Performing "Mama Cry" Live @ Churchills MIAMI (9/23/13)

Top Billion's 2013 Loyola University New Orleans Cypher Part 2

I titled this album "Peace to the God" because it's a powerful statement of acknowledging who I am and indicating where I am at this point in my life. I'm a multidimensional artist. One of my dimensions is that I'm a Five Percenter. That means I teach that the Black man is God and Supreme Mathematics is the key to understanding the Universe. But on this mixtape I'm mainly rapping about my life; drawing from the pain of a bad break-up with a long-term girlfriend, the death of my grandparents, growing up, being a young Black man in America, and wrestling with student loan debt. Yet at the center of it all, the unifying concept of this project on each song is that I am God and that I am in ultimate control and totally responsible for my fate. This mixtape is also an homage to producer 9th Wonder. I picked my favorite beats from him and made my own songs from them.

A freestyle over Termanology's song "22 Years" produced by 9th Wonder.

This song of mine is a rap ballad about a man selling his soul to the devil for love. Recorded right after “Future Nostalgia.” was finished. I was in the zone.

Top Billion - "2 Weeks in Minneapolis" (Prod. by Zoo Donalds). Went to a party last night in Dinkytown where I live. Met this guy named Kale who does videography and produces. I freestyled for him some bars I had then we went downstairs and laid the track in his basement. The microphone was held in a shoe and I had to stand on a chair the whole time.
