Released via TIDAL, “spiritual” sees Hov exploring his experiences growing up, his role in the black community and his fears for his daughter’s future safety. He raps:

“I am not poison, no I am not poison, just a boy from the hood that got my hands in the air in despair, don’t shoot / I just want to do good.”

Jay also paired “spiritual” with a heartfelt personal message. Read the letter and stream the song below.
