Irate explained how he began with Journalism to writing poetry to eventually creating music. @irate_specialist spoke of the first time in High School when his friends told him he talent and that he needed to do something with it. Ever since then he's been in-love with music and has not stopped since! In this process @soulfully_val asked how he managed his life and music while growing into the man he is today. The topic of this episode was "what defines weakness?" and Irate hit some valid points and shared examples of time he was weak in his life and how in the end his weakness ended up being his strength. "without weakness, how will we know our strengths?" - Irate specialist. The pair talks on embracing challenges and examples in music where it helped them get through those obstacles.

Welcome! to the first episode of Reflections with VAL. Podcast with your host, VAL. and guest host LRD TRILL. LRD TRILL is a current Hip-Hop underground artist from New Brunswickn NJ. This episode was based on our life transitions and how we react to them personally. Every person in life has gone through a sudden change. This episode we brake down those moments in life and reflect back on our growth from the past to present time. During those transitions I asked LRD TRILL what kind of music he created in those life processes? was it hard for him to create in that time? or easier? how did he transition from his first heartbreak and did music help him in that? The purpose of this podcast is to be completely transparent and honest in sharing our life stories. This generation can get so stuck on routines, trends, and image that we forget who we are at the end of it. I want others to listen and feel un alone from what they may go through or experienced. Its a platform that I hope would provide healing and peace of mind. Join Reflections with VAL. on the music therapy journey and ENJOY! you can find all streams on Soundcloud, and Youtube.
