In his own words, Prince O shared the deep emotions surrounding this special day:
"I’m deeply grateful to have spent my birthday doing what I love, surrounded by the people I love. For years, celebrating was a challenge after losing my mother on my 9th birthday. It wasn’t until I felt I had done enough to make her proud that I could truly honor my own life. Though hers was cut short, I’ve finally found peace in celebrating what she gave me. I’m so thankful for everyone who reached out with calls, texts, and kind words—they mean more to me than words can express."
The Inspiration Behind Remember Me
In between the night’s festivities, Finesse opened up about the inspiration behind the album, offering fans a glimpse into his personal journey. “The inspiration behind Remember Me was interesting,” he shared. “Basically, don’t forget that I’m out here working. And if at any time I were to pass, I want my music to live on.”
The album is deeply personal, with one song dedicated to Finesse’s late sister, whose memory shaped the project’s emotional depth. “I went missing for a year after the last show, so me coming back was like, ‘Hey, remember me?’” he said, reflecting on his hiatus and triumphant return.
Prince O had a clear vision for “Roc’n Around”: to unite the community through music and celebrate the universal joy of the holiday season. “I wanted to create something that not only celebrates the joy of the season but also highlights the incredible talent we have right here in Rochester,” Prince O. “This EP is about community, love, and the timeless music that brings us all together.”
The mixtape is a collaborative masterpiece, with contributions from Prince O and Jacari Griffin as engineers who helped craft its polished sound. Prince O takes co-executive production credits, showcasing his versatility by contributing bass guitar instrumentation, background vocals, and behind-the-boards expertise.
The venue buzzed with energy as Prince O took the stage, delivering a short yet impactful set that left an indelible mark on the audience. He expertly maneuvered through his tracks, with "Temperature Check" and "Twiin Towers" standing out as crowd favorites. As the pulsating beats and hard-hitting lyrics echoed through the space, the entire vibe in the room seemed to shift, setting the tone for the night ahead.
The original version of "Honey-Sweety" featured a different collaborator but was ultimately reimagined for this release. Prince O made the bold decision to remove the original collaborator entirely, stating, "I’m tired of showing folks what I can do, what they gon’ do for me?" as he echoes the sentiment of rapper Lil Baby. This new version, crafted with Ti-Lar Bee, serves as a superior evolution of the song, showcasing Prince O’s vision and artistic growth. Initially, the song was created to support another artist’s discography, but this updated rendition firmly places the spotlight back on Prince O’s undeniable talent.
