This short, but action-packed sixth track from Profiiit's newest album, 'Alexander' (released 28/02/22, Dead Poet Society) features 'Cool Que' and some aggressively catchy beats.Profiiit is a groundbreaking and restless force in the 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.

Don't worry it's okay to cry, cause we're only human, we could only try Sometimes it's hard to keep believing, I have a lot of fears, but I wipe away the tears, so follow your heart, be who you are, we should always reach out to the stars, sometimes it's hard, we are have scars, so follow your heart. -------------------------------------------------- Want to help me create new videos?
