![]() As I was writing this music there was a lot of pain in it. If you know anything about my music, you know that it’s gonna be some type of struggle, sacrifice, persistence, tenacity, and coming from the bottom. What was the motivation behind this specific one and what is the overall message for the fans? The different formats of media that I use are just ways to create and all of that led to the creation of Pain Talk. Fast forward to now, I’m confident in who I am as far as my identity in Christ, and whether it’s music or visuals or writing a book, I’m a co-creator in Christ. It was just literally day by day, going to the gym putting up shots, going to the gym, putting up shots, and improving. There was no miraculous hand that came down. It really was a pivotal moment.Ĭoming out on the other side of everything was just trusting God day by day. We were able to get so much light shed on the truth of who Big Floyd was and not the media spin. I think in hindsight, while it was something that at the present time, I felt brought me lower, it also on the other end made me stronger because it encouraged us in how important our voice was and how important it was to continue to speak truth. We did a lot to make sure the message and his name were intact, but that also added to the stress and just the burden of the day-to-day, you know. ![]() Myself, as well as my brother, Reconcile – we were very public about the fact that we knew Big Floyd personally.

So I want to respect that and not act like that’s what was happening to me. When I say that, I mean, not in the sense of, a mental breakdown or anything like that, and I make a point to say that because I understand how strongly people suffer from things like that. I wasn’t in the best place, to be honest. That threw me back in that continued wandering journey. I really was basically rediscovering who I was and who I was in Christ. ![]() It was just a single every now and again. I learned that I had a lot of my identity in being a rapper and being quote-unquote “Cory Paul” and then from 2018 to 2020 up into the pandemic, I wasn’t putting out much music.
