“I was really shocked by that one because we had no idea that song would get recognized. (Nipsey) was so adamant about putting that song out right after the Grammy’s last year,” Carless said. “The label was concerned that we didn’t have enough time and runway to set it up. (Nipsey) was adamant about bypassing all the traditional (methods), upload protocols with the streaming partners and (was) all about calling everyone directly because he felt like that record was a moment for his career. ... and now it’s nominated for two awards at the Grammys. Emotional and gratifying.”
