Whatever you want, whatever you’re looking for is right here!”.

Gotti cleverly uses the motto “A perfect day to not give a fuck” behind advertising the track, he explains; “Look, sometimes it’s okay to just wake up and not give a fuck, it’s good for your health, reflect and release, never dwell and that’s what I did on this project. I took myself somewhere else.”
Life for the new hip-hop artist has not been easy, exposed to trials and tribulations in life, betrayal, death, lost love and heartbreak CjxGotti intends to let his fans in a peek at a time.
“Music is therapeutic, it has been for me just listening to it. Now I’m making music and it’s like I want to be healing to someone, I want to be someone’s go to for any vibe they’re looking for. I know someone out there got the same story as me, I just hope everyone that’s listening continue to support me on this journey.”
