Rapper Big Pooh draws a poignant portrait of personal pain in the final soulful single before his Mello Music Group debut Words Paint Pictures. The Apollo Brown produced joint is drips with melancholy and as Pooh drifts into contemplation on tape – detailing emergency room visits, popping percocet on stage, heavy drinking, and the spiraling out of control that can occur in our lives. Erik “Blakk Soul” Keith lends to the heartache with gorgeous crooning delving into the depths of emotional introspection.
