Campbell revealed that the album’s standout single, Favor, is a heartfelt tribute to DMX. Reflecting on the late rapper, Warryn shared, “Every time I saw him, he was praying. Even on stage, he was praying. I think this encapsulated a huge part of who he was that people didn’t know about.” Erica chimed in, calling the project “phenomenal” and praising its potential to inspire the hip-hop community to “reevaluate their own prayer life.”

When asked how he managed to take on such a monumental project amid his busy schedule, Warryn admitted, “I do feel like this project was tailor-made for me. I’m not saying I’m the only producer who could’ve done this, but because of what I do and who I am, it was just perfect that it would be me.” He also spoke about the musical approach, likening it to church service: “I call it scoring. Growing up in church, we learned to compose by following our fathers on the organ, scoring the scene of the church service. That’s exactly what I did here.”

Assembling the all-star cast of contributors, including Mary Mary, wasn’t always easy. Warryn joked, “Mary Mary’s gonna say yes to me, but getting them in the studio? That’s another trick! All of a sudden, it’s like, do y’all really love me? ’Cause it’s taking seven years to get y’all in this booth!” Despite the challenges, Warryn shared that everything worked out, and now, “I have artists beating down my door for round two.”
