Netrell released Album “FROM THE HEART PART 1” featuring 9 solid tracks that leaves fans wanting more!
From an early age, Netrell fell in love with rap music. Influenced by watching his cousins rap at his Grandmother’s house, rap music quickly became a part of who he was. Netrell would hop in his mother’s car and listen to DMX‘s “Slippin” repeatedly. He knew he had a lot to express and has found a way to share his passion and love in this heartfelt album.
“FROM THE HEART PART 1” opens with a motivational intro that instantly catches the listener’s attention and perfectly sets the mood for the album. The first track, “Fresh Start,” leaves an indelible impression, weaving a beautiful and inspiring narrative on why he keeps striving to reach his goals while paying tribute to his mother and grandmother, both of whom hold a significant place in his heart.
“Rewind Button,” driven by a powerful beat reminiscent of the days of Nas, is about living, letting go of your fears, and getting out of your own way. It harkens the listener to face their problems and ensure they don’t let anyone in their circle who wants to use or take advantage of them.
“6000 Hours” is an anthem to perseverance, drive, and dedication. Netrell provides the listener with a glimpse into his vulnerability as an artist, offering a raw reflection on the many obstacles and setbacks he’s faced to get to where he is. “It’s not how you start, how you finish it,” and Netrell has put in the hours necessary to keep driving towards his goal of motivating others to believe in themselves.
From the opening hook, “Follow the Light’s” beat is infectious and inspiring. The lyrics have a natural flow that resonate and allow the listener to put themselves in his shoes; an experience that makes this track deeply personal. Netrell exclaims that he “wrote songs to feel better tomorrow,” and “Follow the Light” is a perfect example of how music can inspire and capture the passion that resides in all of us.
“Gave My All” demands the listener to pause, open their eyes, and breathe in the pain and struggle of an aspiring artist. Netrell has given his all to everyone and everything, but now it is time to recognize his potential and focus on the future; a future that is sure to bring attention to a rapper that is mastering his craft. The pain may run deep, but there is a sense of hope and optimism that is threaded through this emotional offering.
“Perfect Match” explores the intimate relationship a musician has with his music. Our experiences, both good and bad, shape us into the people we are, ultimately strengthening our character and perseverance. As a sort of love letter to the people in his life that have positively influenced him, Netrell acutely recognizes and appreciates where he has come from, all that he has experienced, and everything he has yet to accomplish.
The soothing and calming beats of “Angels On My Side” are juxtaposed against lyrics that call on the listener to ask who is on their side and who will ultimately miss them when they are gone. Having angels on his side has afforded Netrell the opportunity to clearly see what is important in his life. As he states at the conclusion, he may be a broken man, but Netrell still stands. And, with “Angels On My Side,” he stands at the top of his craft.
The final offering, “Tearz Can’t Fall,” appropriately brings closure to the journey, “FROM THE HEART PART 1”. The narrative comes full circle with a message to those closest to Netrell, detailing the pain that is still there. “A win is a win, whether big or little,” and this track, full of emotion, is a big win for Netrell.
