Finding his inner Gucci Mane and Luther Vandross, Immerze juxtaposes gritty raps and soulful messaging to create a lyrically melodic but bass heavy track. In an interview with Hip-Hop Canada,, the Vancouver artist says, "The song is about being misunderstood, but not letting that phase you. The fact is everyone is misunderstood one way or another: “Peaceful protesters out here getting maced/ And innocent citizens getting shot chalked and erased.” Just showing how even a protester can be misunderstood; even though what they fighting for can be so clear to most. Still, some people who don’t understand what they’re standing for."
"In the intro of the track I quote some of the hook for Gucci Mane’s “Kitchen Record”: “Nobody/ Nobody f**k with my kitchen…” And in the verse I talk about what I cooked up: “I cooked food for thought/ How does it taste/ My soul’s the main ingredient/ Hope it don’t go to waste/ Like no getting sentenced in O.J [Simpson’s] first case.” And I quote Luther Vandross: “Never too much/ Never too much/ No no no/ Glad that I got that out the way/ Got so much to talk about/ So much to say.”
"Gucci Vandross" will appear on Immerze's upcoming EP, Before I Go.
