One of the first tracks Immortal discusses growing up witnessing death at a young age, and having to steer clear of the police.Going in hard and fast, Cole’s delivery brings the message home about life in his neighbourhood and dealing with stereotypes that have been force fed to the black community for generations. Looking at the album cover, you can get a hint into what content lies within this much anticipated album, and you can be sure that a lot of it has to do with family, friends and hardship.
