The first track, "My Conversations..." was produced by Traxx On Deck and features a soundbyte from the movie Fresh. It's one of the most powerful scenes in the movie IMO. The song was really based on these real life conversations that Brett Johnson and I have all the time about not really having a blueprint to follow to achieve success in the music industry. In the movie clip, Sam Jackson is playing Fresh's dad and is just telling him that he's going to have to suck it up and face these challenges without waiting for someone to hold your hand anymore. At the same time, sometimes I feel like God has been preparing me for every situation that I encounter and I can't get scared now. I have to do what he built me to do.

Third Coast emcee 5th Child tackles the harsh stereotypes
about his hometown in the satirical new single “What You Need” from his
upcoming album My Conversations with God.
“What You Need” (dir. by Theca Jones) features 5th
Child starring as a dealer of all the world’s ills while pointing the finger at
a culture that demonizes drugs yet gives a hypocritical pass to junk food.
My Conversations with God is 5th Child’s 7th
studio album and will be released independently on October 17, 2015. The entire
project is self-produced with the exception of three tracks (including “What
You Need” prod. by Y. Valentine) and will be available on most digital
retailers upon its release.
For a random experiment, 5th Child decided to remove all of the drum sounds from 2012's Love Letters & Suicide Notes. The results are eerie, a bit more soulful, and well... you'll just have to hear for yourself.
