Check out a few quotes (via Complex) about the project, and check out the EP below.

Is there a statement you’re trying to make with this project?
Not so much of a statement; more so a form of encouragement to people that are going through or may have gone through some of the things that I have. I just want people to live the life they dreamed of, and not try to live up to other people’s expectations. You can make it out of any struggle. The struggle isn’t always a bad thing – so much positive can come out of it. That’s why I call it struggle rap [laughs].

What’s the meaning behind the title Happy Belated?
I feel like my music is my contribution or gift to share with the world, and it’s taken a lot of sacrifice, struggle, and time to get it out. No matter how long it took, I’m here to share the gift with the world. When you give somebody a gift later than it was expected, we say Happy Belated.
