When the seasons change, we find ourselves looking for ways to change who we are. But instead of trying to change ourselves, why not embrace what we stand for?

BrvndonP and Mission newest single, “Seasons” speaks to staying true to yourself even when changes happen around you. And that includes those in your life that might want you to change to convenience them. No matter the situation, fighting through the changes or “Seasons” as BrvndonP & Mission call them, can only strengthen the loyalty you have to yourself.

“‘Seasons’ is a song about not changing who you are for others convenience. Although the seasons change doesn’t mean you have to. I want others to be inspired by this song.” -Mission

“‘Seasons’ is one of them songs where you gotta listen to it more than once to get what we’re actually saying.  Besides the beat slapping, we’re actually talking, making it thru different times of ours lives… Seasons. We made it and we stayed the same. I want others to be inspired and encouraged that they can make it thru whatever season they are in now.” -BrvndonP

So, you going to stay loyal to you or change when the new season comes around? Listen to “Seasons” below and let us know!

Lupe Fiasco’s uniqueness has always been appreciated in the industry, adding to his strength and quality productions overtime. Most recently, such distinct attitudes have caught the attention of many artists on social media, responses which eventually drove the Kick–Push artist to delete his Twitter account and go ‘back to the shadows’.

Swerving confrontations, the certified rapper now has a clear vision and a mission in the music industry, one which surprisingly doesn’t involve staying relevant in the game. He recently explained to Billboard how his powerful movement cannot be compared to the emerging cultures and representations of today:

“I don’t want to be relevant today. I don’t want to be the go-to guy for the club song or to speak on all the dumb shit that’s going around. I’m happy being that somewhat sophisticated, overly deep weird guy making powerful music, just two or three degrees away from the centre of attention.

There is a new generation speaking to a new generation, so you have a Kendrick Lamar and a J.Cole and the other people who are the new Lupe’s. I don’t have the same lingo. I don’t sip lean or smoke weed. I can’t compete with a Wiz Khalifa for the attention of a 12-year old.

I’m much more mature in my representation, in the sense of I’m not as relevant as I was before. It’s kind of that natural irrelevancy that occurs with all artists. I think I had my peak and now I am coming down in relevancy. It’s not a sad thing for me.”
