"You can always meet somebody and talk to them about your experiences but very often there isn't the time to really get into it and really let them know the situation. That's why I always say music is a tool.

There is no greater way for me to really touch the souls of my fans, except through my music." As the first project off his own label, Conquer the Globe, I-Octane is proud of the production and support behind this EP.

"As an artist we spend so much time on the go and our interaction with our fans is so limited for so many reasons. Therefore, many times I take the opportunity while singing to speak to my fans and be a voice for my fans. On this EP I went in depth and sang about the unfortunate situations when friends turn their backs on you, Falling in love, the recent increase in crime worldwide, the struggles of the poor and the lack of support ghetto people receive from those inna jacket and tie. And then I go on to tell my fans no matter what your struggles are find Jah, He will help you carry that load, and all of your problems gone".
