“Everything spiritually has been more in line with just me,” detailed the rapper to VIBE. “It is really personal life things that carry over to my work, which is just being grateful, hitting my knees every morning, praying, hitting my knees every night, meditating when I have to, fasting, keeping great eating habits. All of these things, spiritually, help me when it comes to dealing with music and dealing with the work. It helps keep a balance, it helps keep me grounded.”
The album, which debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 chart, features Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Lola Brook, Fivio Foreign, and more. Check out Cottonwood 2 below.
