Early in 2024 is when came across the phenomenal artist known as Aj McQueen the “GodBody General”. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri “Aj McQueen grew up in the streets and escaped that life style due to him having the kind of mother many young kids taking the wrong paths in life need. Moving him to another city and state to start new gave him a new life.

From seeing people get shot, drug addiction, and even getting shot himself at a young age Aj McQueen left St. Louis and moved to Houston Texas where he found his love for writing music. When it comes to his music, it touched my spirit when I came across it. He speaks often about wisdom and relying on God to lead your path, which brings me to his single called “SIT YUH SELF DOWN”.

I heard this record at a divine time, when so much was happening in my life and my shoulders felt heavy, this song uplifted me and in a sense gave me another perspective to what I was currently dealing with. Recently in a interview with “Conversations with Zo podcast Aj McQueen speaks healing amongst other things, but sometimes realizing we have to do some inner work and make peace with our mistakes.

Although others may have done things to us, at some point you have to look at yourself and look at what you did wrong in any situation, forgive yourself for it, heal from it and move on.

“You liberate yourself when you can be honest with yourself”

Aj McQueen said that the situations he got into he can’t blame anybody for where he was, even if they did do it, he had to look at it like he gave them the gas to do it. So moving forward in order to be free we have to look inward nit outwards. That I resonate with, and is something I myself had to slowly learn so to hear him speak on it in this interview feels like “Cita Divino” to me.

I listened to another well known record from McQueen called “Routine” which is off of his album called “GodBody” that released in 2022. In this record Aj speaks about waking up and thanking God for life, breathe, going after his goals, staying focused, and eating healthier that’s the routine. The lyricism and consciousness he has within his music has made Aj McQueen loved globally, you can’t listen to his undeniable talent and not feel anything.

“I affect the status quo, i’m going to do what they say you can’t do”

This interview really gives the fans and listeners another insight and perspective on who Aj McQueen is outside of hearing it through his music. With the current state of our culture there’s been an awakening these last couple of years, artist like McQueen are having impact on the youth in a positive way. When I hear someone stepping up and upholding these type of values and mindsets I always want to highlight it to the world, because it’s needed.

Aj McQueen says “there’s no impact in doing what everybody doing, I don’t want stand in I wanna stand out” having faith and belief in what you do or what to do isn’t always easy but it’s necessary on the journey in becoming who you are meant to be. This was such an amazing interview and I look forward on hearing more interviews from McQueen in the near future. If you are just now finding out about him go run up his streams you won’t be disappointed in what you hear. Click the photo below to watch the full interview.
