    I have a ton of respect for this young man. If you ever watched any of his interviews, he is very humble and has not had an easy life at all. He does alot for his family so that don't have the struggle the way he did growing up. What a naturally talented artist. I love his music and hope he goes a long way in life he deserves it! Stay up

    I listened to August's music in 2014/2015 (like No Love and I luv this shit) without even knowing his story or something about him.
    I recently watched his documentary about his life and it made me so emotional. I've listened and watched a lot of his stuff and I can say that he definitly became one of my favorites artists. He talks about what he's been through, he shares his emotion and pain with us. He's just real. He's a source of inspiration for many people. It's my first time listening to this song and it will probably not be the last.
    I would have loved to be here since his debut to be able to accompany him through is journey, even if I'm just a fan. Hope he's okay and that he's taking care of himself. He deserves all the best in the world. I love him not only as a singer, but also as a person.
    I'm not gonna lie, I really want to see him in interview as before, because I miss him. But, better than that, I also don't want anyone to disturb his peace and tranquility.
    Y'all need to listen his last album, he made it with his whole heart.
    Love you August❤️

    I aint gonna lie. These past few weeks I've been seeing dudes name all over twitter. Didn't know why but yesterday I was convinced to take in his music. I'm a fan now. This song touched me deep. You can hear the pain in his voice and that's really missing in Rnb music. Keep up the good work homie. Don't change for no one. Canada awaits a live show from you.

August been sick too, but you don't hear about that on the radio. Just Jada, and will. We use to sit in the car and listen to this song. I'll never be able to touch him, hug him. Call him.

    Life is precious,don't lose it over something that can be avoided.we are all blessed to be here. I be shedding tears over even my enemies because you never know why but I know that I was born to love. I'm not perfect and sometimes I hurt others but I don't mind taking the fall for anyone I love.if nobody stands with you then life isn't what its meant to be. Everyone has a purpose and everything happens for a reason. I know that sometimes retaliation is necessary because I know how I feel about those I love but to things in perspective, everyone has a reason and noone can judge another's purpose in this world. Ima be by the side of everyone I love and try to make a better way for all because life isn't promised so cherish each moment.
