'Maria' is a playful, guitar sample-based twelfth track from Profiiit's 'Alexander' album (released 28/02/22, Dead Poet Society)Profiiit is a groundbreaking and restless force in the East Coast US underground rap scene. His style cannot be simply defined in terms of genres due to his insatiable need to constantly move and push his sound to new levels, however influences include J. Cole, Kanye West, Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar and the late XXXTENTACION. Something Profiiit has in common with all of these inspirations is a long endeavour for greatness.

Shalom Oparah - I love Your Love

God's reckless love dispels darkness and adds color to my world. In a world where human love is fickle, i can always count on God's excess love. His love is everything to me and i do not regret saying yes to his will
