Been a supporter from the first time I heard, felt, saw the reason for your music. Still am. Never compromise your art.

[blackpea]

Met him in the airport on my way back to the UK for school...Humble, and certainly talented.  Most importantly, he speaks words of wisdom which is underlaid by truth and substance.  More proof that hip hop is still alive!  Jah bless!  Rule your destiny!

[simpleflex]

This song is good cuz, love it spread the words of wisdom.

Saw Promise open for BCC in Tdot in September. Was seriously blown away by this guy's skills on the mic! If he doesn't blow the eff up, I can't imagine who should...

[DuckDownMusic]

@hiphophead1991 great point. Not all music that we feature is going to work for every fans choice of sound, delivery, content, flow, etc, but we hope we can continue to be balanced where there is something for everyone at different times.

This is $!!!! Promise spits from his heart (this is as real as it gets), and Jhene voice is siilky smoothe.

[DuckDownMusic]

@ThisIsVice thanks for the input. Help spread the video & see if your friends like what they hear. If they share your opinion than he's on his way to getting a few new fans! More videos to come shortly.

[robezy]

The rappers got talent definetly. His words speak for hisself, I'm really curious how he will make it

[TheQwiggledot]

Well done guys. Very crisp. Was rocking this track alot in my car this summer. Thanks Promise, look forward to watching you're career blow up. World needs more beats and flow like this right now.

[djchozen]

This is an amazing song on every level, flow, delivery, production, lyrics, message and of course that phenomenal chorus by Jhene Aiko. I'm sharing this with everyone I know. I've been following Promise for a few years and it really annoys me that he hasn't gained more popularity. He needs to be heard!
