This might sound a little unhinged, but I'll say it anyway. I've been seeking escape for as long as I can remember myself. Elaborate daydreams as a child, video games later on, and writing now, writing's always been there, but it's my only productive/creative escapism method these days.
In 2021 I revamped an old character - a man who came from a religious (Christian) background and lost his way at some point, pulled away from God, and gave in to the lifestyle of a sinner, but not without constantly feeling guilt over that. Alcoholism, social isolation and perversion basically, a kind soul who punishes himself for his sins by pulling away from society and no longer believing that he is worthy of God's love. Now, I don't come from a religious background myself, but through this character, the first spark ignited. In addition to that, I always research and discover new music for my characters, so I can give them more depth etc. And that's how I came to discovery Montell, actually. My fictional character first felt this man's music, and by consequence, so did I.
I am very, very grateful to have discovered Montell and his work. In a world of emphasis on image, copied and pasted productions, entire artists, I could feel from day one that this man was something entirely authentic and unique, which is so, so rare to come across these days. I can confidently say that I've never heard anything else that reminds me of Montell's work, and I genuinely think that's something that every artist wants to have said about their work. I'm happy and proud to be part of this journey, and I promise to support, too, when I can economically afford to.
Thank you for everything, Montell. I am looking forward to seeing your growth as an artist and a person, and I do genuinely believe you're here to do great things with your gift.
God bless, and all the very best to you and your creative endeavours.

I lost my girlfriend to suicide and spent the next year self sabotaging every single one of my relationships, hurting other people, self-destructing, and pushing away every single person around me/making absolutely everyone hate me because of how much I hated and blamed myself. Very real thing that I'm so glad to see two big names like you and Yachty bring light on, hurt people hurt people

The pillars of faith shouldn't be held up by our parents' perception. We should be able to build up our own relationship with God and not feel pressured to by another. That's a huge way people are not able to "find" God. They aren't feeling it; they aren't in it. When I was saved, I was in my room watching a video explaining the gospel. I understood it and felt actual guilt. I never felt pressure to be saved, I only saw my consequence, and I hated what I've done. I completely saw how Jesus dying saved us, and I couldn't stop crying. That's the power of God. That's evidence the spirit of Christ has come upon me. My parents were never Christians. I wasn't brought up a Christian. It was just me and God alone in my room.

We need an interview like this, but for you! Iāve never seen an artist have so much tension with his own audience but I think people just need *this*, more of you Montell, and your thoughts and perspective and voice. I think thereās a lot of confusion for those that follow you and we need to give eachother the grace to a) understand you and where youāre coming from and b) you to understand the people who support you and where theyāre truly coming from. At the end of the day each person here is a human being and everyone has perceptions and misconceptions, from both sides. But I patiently wait for a time where we can come together and understand one another again, because It shouldnāt be like this. But I think only you can restore that connection, not through posts that people need to decipher but an honest and open conversation just like this

This episode hits. I love the showcasing of both of your belief systems and its intersection to your music. Specifically speaking to Yatchy, I've grown up with him and he has brought happiness and positivity to his music in different fashions and tones. That latest album attest to that-- the versatility and maturity of the tone of this album. It literally saved me from dropping out, it provided this sunshine during rainy days, confidence, etc. I'm excited to see him continue to expand in music realms.
