Sad Boys For Real! Chicago artist, LaSalle Grandeur, slides to studio to discuss his latest album, losing both his parents, letting go of the pain from his past, and learning to live his truth.
In the song, "Trusted Angels," Lasalle says, "imma leave when things get too affectionate / believe me, I don't wanna runaway / yet everyone love fades away," LaSalle has experiences loss from an early age, and has been forced to accept everything in life is temporary. At points, this pain has dictated the way he crafts & develops new relationships. We've all faced trauma, but the difference is the way we respond when facing our triggers. At some point we have to let go of these "ghosts" that haunt us; even if they're ones that lie within us.
Also discussed, pressure of living up to others' expectations, definition of a "man," what happiness looks like, importance of voicemails from Saba & Ausar.
