about

This album was a labor of love for me to create. It's a concept album that that I wrote, performed and produced. It deals with the topic of indecisiveness as it relates to achieving new goals, and the experience of feeling stuck when you don't know what best decision to make next . After reflecting on my achievements over the last year and a half, I found myself questioning what should be my next best step. I was having difficulty balancing between my career and my creative goals, and I just wanted to make sure I made the right decision. Since then I've made some decisions I'm proud of but What's The Next Best Step? is a question that still comes up for me, and I believe it will continue to come up. I feel like no matter how much we feel we've got life figured out, there's always some new moment where we'll experience indecisiveness. Sometimes that moment feels longer, sometimes it feels shorter and the scenarios often vary. My hope is that I come to the right decision as fast as possible. On this album I wanted to explore thoses feelings on a variety of songs. I originally wanted to title the album "Where do I go from here?" or "What's The Next Best Step?" but I decided to choose "The Next Best Step?" because the wording was a bit shorter and it resonated more artistcally to me. The lyrics are thoughtful and relatable, and the production is funky, Jazzy and soulful and Boom Bap. I hope that you enjoy and are inspired by the music!

i was very impressed by this album, the album cover is a dedication to Black Star's album it actually made me wanna check the album out, this is another album where the artist ain't scared to be honest and vulnerable, the album is pessimistic in its truth and mood at times but that's the beauty of it and i got a lot out of it as a listener, Free Mind gives him some amazing soul samples, this project is very well produced, i find Brandon Isaac's lyrics very powerful and interesting. markmcauley1 (Strictly Hip-Hop Spot)
