      Hey just saw u on earls new shit! Good to see you a Kota fan too. Kota has used fans type beats before, GC Beats produced a few on this new Lyrics to Go Vol 3, and on Vol 2. Pomegranate from Vol 2 is one of them, and the beat for that was a "kota the friend type beat" called "FLOAT" uploaded by GC on RUclips which sat for a couple years before Kota actually used it for that song and now GC produces for him. So anything is possible my brother!

    Dear Kota
    This song makes me come to tears everytime I hear it because of how real this song fits my life emotionally. Depression is a battle. I hate myself. I struggle with everyday life. But everytime I hear your music, I know I'm not alone. I strive to grow as you have explained in this song and im taking it a step at a time. If theres anybody else out there that cant take compliments because they dont agree, that struggles finding their personal truth, or is stuck in the hole that is depression, ever slowly growing to match the size of your heart, fret not. Everybody is subject to grace. Everyone deserves love and to love themselves. Know your tears arent for not. And that all of you matter. We are all one and the same, human.

    Kota, this is one of the few songs I’ve ever heard in my life that made me cry. Over the past few months I’ve had some traumatic experiences that have made me filled with rage and hatred. Surrounded by negative people who always try to make me feel like I won’t be enough for anyone. 4 months ago I had a suicide attempt and during the aftermath of that I was listening to your music a lot, specifically Emotionally Dumb, and Kota, I just want to say thank you for writing music like this that reminds me that life is more than pain and suffering, seriously your music has been a factor in me getting through some dark days. Thank you for being such a genuine artist who doesn’t shy away from this stuff.

    Starting from 1:21, that really hit me hard. I've always felt like a social floater growing up. Could never really integrate with any "clique" or "group". But now, I've come to realize that I just need to give myself love. And being gentle with myself is something I've started to work on...
