What does it sound like when you stop dreaming dreams and start fully living them? What is the song for when any new dreams that arise get relegated to a checklist because of one's ability to let it manifest? I only speak on what I think, and I believe that sound is Patrick Paige II's "40000 Feet."

Sounding completely produced in confidence, "40000 Feet's" dulled 808s fortify a blue collar rhythm around a misty, yacht rock-esque melody strung through the record like a motif. DeeJay Wes and Daoud Ayodele Miles Anthony's production, with all its sparking energy, provide a stillness not unlike a pond. That momentary complacency to execute the next move pushes Patrick Paige's voice forward, ascending us right alongside the "Letters of Irrelevance" artist.

Patrick Paige II's restful verses are fueled with self-motivation and self-improvement. The mediation behind the delivery allows his rapping to flow at leisure and the free game to be absorbent. The belief in his method of actively going to get what is waiting for you is dug into the fabric of every lyric and starts to feel like The Internet member's superpower. And just by proxy from listening it begins to feels like mine, too.

40000 Feet is the invitation to start living life how is best for you by doing what you love. Patrick Paige II couldn't have made it sound more attractive or the height simpler to reach. All you have to do is jump.
