Welcome back everybody to this 9 Lives discussion
I'd like to do some special thanks and some credits
Um, I think it's pretty cool, you know, being credited on an album
But to actually hear your name read out on the album
I don't think a lot of people have done this
So, we're gonna try to start something new here
Um, I am the sole lyric top liner on this project
I, you know, I'm not against collaboration
I just think as this is my ninth album, I thought
You know, I should be able to stand on business
And sing it, you know, sing the things I needed to say
But we do have multiple producers that lended their talents
And I'm gonna have Cody read out their names
And I just wanna say thanks to everybody
Who, you know, threw in their hat on this
First of all
I just wanna say how much I appreciate everyone who is apart of this album
These songs mean a lot to me and SoMo
And I wanna share the names of all the producers who helped bring it to life
Eric Eli
Uncle Cameron
Lost Lucas
Raul
Polar
Ron Allen
And Bow & Arrow
Shout out to Bow & Arrow for laying down them real strings, baby
We were replace- you know we replaced my little midi arrangement on "How?"
It was alright, but she brought it to life, so
Shout out to everybody
Especially Ron Allen on bringing the "- Stress + Love" sample to life
'Cause I might not have ever did that, so, yeah, amazing
And we anna do some special shout outs, you know, just some thanks
I wanna say thanks to my daughters Finley and Madeleine
And of course their mother, the only one
And our manager, Cody and I's manager, Drew Kaklamanos
And my original signing to Rebe-, agh

And also want to give a big shout out to Thomas and CTM, my publisher
They've all been great
And The Orchard who's distributing this album
It's nice to be able to be independent and have full control
But still have people that can do the legwork, so thank you to y'all
And also, major shout out to Pro-Tools
We didn't have any errors on this whole project, so that's a blessing
And to the only restaurant I eat out at in Dallas "Enchiladas"
Shout out, y'all gotta check that out
Bomb, it's bomb enchiladas
How can you not have the best enchiladas if you're called "Enchiladas"?
But, yeah, thank you so much to everybody out there for listening
And for being apart
And especially Team SoMo
You know, you know, so
I appreciate y'all
And you know I hope these, uh
Spoken words at the end of this album didn't ruin it for ya
So go back, start it over
And you can cut these tracks out if you want and just keep this album on repeat
We appreciate you so much
And always remember, less stress more love, baby
