It could be a person, an old version of yourself, a situation you’ve outgrown but somehow keep making excuses for. Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t leaving, it’s accepting that you’ve already stayed long enough. Young Jonn has always had a way of turning these complicated feelings into something that feels surprisingly easy to carry. His music has a certain freedom to it, the kind that makes you want to loosen your grip and simply give in to the moment. On “Let It Go,” […]

- [Money Is Here 💰](https://chocolatecitymusic.com/money-is-here/): “Money” means something different to everyone.

The moments you’re breaking inside while still trying to smile through it all. Over the years, I’ve learned to embrace my journey with gratitude. I’ve loved my life, my story and every lesson that has come with it. But the truth is, there were days my eyes held nothing but tears. Days I felt lost. Days I questioned everything. Days I couldn’t even see a way forward. Yet somehow, I kept moving. Not because it was easy, but because faith kept carrying me even when I was tired. Today, through […]

Today, I’m back with No Excuses Deluxe, out now on all platforms. I had to bring ACL back the right way. New version, fresh energy, same spirit.

But if you know me, you know I’m never satisfied with stopping at one win. That’s why I’m giving you three more records that continue the story. Hustle Kpa featuring Artsalghul takes me back […]
