    August Alsina's music is for people who can relate. I think the negative comments are coming from people who just don't get it. I'm from Nola, shit is hard.

Kev would play it on repeat. Today Kev is gone too and I am just here listening to this song by myself. Life.

    August once said 'The people who experience the most darkness often times have the most light to shed' And by his lyrics we know he been through the darkness but thank God he didn't stay there.... that's exactly what August doing though, shedding light through his music. I feel you August and i know our God does too.

      I'm happy you are pain free my brother or sister through Jesus Christ! It has been 7 years since I had my gallbladder removed because of gallstones. I am just now navigating a solution to digestion problems and hormonal issues after the removal. I am going to see a nutritionist soon to see what foods to eat and stay away from. I'm recommending if you didnt already try not remove your gallbladder if not needed. if you did already take the steps thats needed to make up for not having a gallbladder before more health problems start to creep up. (im letting you know this because i didnt take a precaution when i could have) Good luck and God be with you

      ​@@fabnsavvy Hi beautiful sister through Jesus Christ, I just replied above letting them know 7 years after removing my gallbladder I am finding myself fixing issues that i could have long ago if i took it more seriously. My doctor recommended me to see a nutritionist to see what foods to eat and stay away from because i do not have a gallbladder to help digest or whatever its main function is in my body specifically.
      i just wanted to let you know not wait if you havent already researched already

    Only the people who've been through similar situations can relate. Years of pain and hardships doesn't just go away overnight. It takes time and patience, some people are still going through it for something that happened 20 years ago. Losing a family member ain't easy on the soul. That shit hurts. So whether he makes music and keeps talking about his brother or not, thats his choice. Real music comes from the heart. A lot of these rappers and singers in the industry only give the people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. Brah got my respect, keeping it 100 and not falling for the industry.

    even though most rappers aren't Christians he is one of the many few and i respect that he has probably been through more than we expect in his life he had a brother that died a couple of years back and he has said that in one of his songs but he has all of my respect to put his testimony out there for people to know all that he has been through in his life and most of that stuff he can't change that he can't bring his dead brother back to this earth he is is still alive in his heart to live on through him to finish everything that he started he will finish it for him and still be blessed by god in many ways like the way god blessed him with his wonderful talent of song

      Me too.. I cry every time I see him breakdown on stage! His pain is so real. August Alsina is my favorite artist of all times!
