What’s going on everyone?! I hope all is bright in your world, and if not, I hope you’re taking a new direction. Carrying on last week’s note of what comes with success, yet much more in depth; this Song of the Week goes to DJ Khaled featuring Scarface, Jadakiss, Meek Mill, Akon, John Legend, and Anthony Hamilton with “Never Surrender.” This one is produced by Street Runner, and DJ Khaled. I definitely feel this to be one of Khaled’s realest records yet. The impact it delivers is timeless. Each artist shares a verse about the hardships of life, facing negativity, how friends and family show their true colors when shit gets real, and how you cannot surrender your soul to anyone. For all who are seeking a better life, pursuing your dreams, and trying to make it; listen carefully to the message between the bars of this incredible song. To have the knowledge of what it takes to succeed, of what it means to survive, most often you’ve been to hell and back. However you perceive it, or have experienced it; you know that suffering and success go hand in hand. At some point on your road to the top, you’ll meet face to face with opposition. That’s when you will see people for who they truly are, and more importantly you will find out what you are made of. Khaled’s perpetual focus on making an impacting record definitely shines through this motivational piece of art. The diversity in this group of artists, and how their energy flows seamlessly, makes this record such as success. Give a listen below, and be sure to cop DJ Khaled’s next album Suffering From Success, dropping Tuesday October 22nd! As always, Stay Positive and Never Surrender!
