Boom’s goal was to touch everyone with his music.
I’m tryna reach every n-gga in Chicago that’s going through the same sh-t I’m going through,” he said. “Same n-gga that grew up in the street. Same n-gga that went through that street life. Same n-gga that lost some n-ggas to the sh-t. Same n-gga that went and got locked up. Same n-gga that had to sell that bag to get that food on the table.Same n-gga that can relate and to the motherf-ckers that don’t know what’s going on. The motherf-ckers that’s out in the burbs, walk into my world. Listen to my sh-t. I’m tryna touch everybody.”
