“What It Is” is about choosing your own path, getting your money right, and taking care of your people even if that means walking alone.
New music alert 🚨
Virginia’s own Somel just released “What It Is”, produced by D’Eight Ball and this one isn’t about flexing for the timeline. It’s about discipline. Focus. And understanding that “Gang Gang” doesn’t pay your bills.
A lot of people scream loyalty.
A lot of people scream brotherhood.
But when the lights go off and rent due… it’s quiet.
That’s what this record hits on.
💰 It’s Not “Gang Gang” It’s Goals
“What It Is” talks about working toward something real. Making money not to impress strangers, but to take care of your loved ones.
Too many people put on a performance for the crowd.
Designer fits. Loud talk. Fake unity.
And somehow still end up broke broke.
Somel flips that energy. This isn’t fake motivation. It’s earned perspective.
Walking your own path early might feel lonely. But staying in the wrong crowd costs you years. And time is the one thing you don’t get refunded.
🧠 Walking Alone Is Strength
One of the realest themes in this track?
It’s okay to be different.
It’s okay to step away.
It’s okay if fake friends and even fake family get uncomfortable when you start growing.
Growth exposes insecurity.
Discipline exposes laziness.
Self-belief exposes weak self-esteem.
If someone hates you just for being yourself, that says more about their confidence than your character.
Strong minds don’t argue with small minds. They just move.

🎧 The Sound
“What It Is” blends soul and hip-hop with that reflective, grounded energy. It’s not loud just to be loud. It sits with you.
It’s that drive-at-night thinking music.
That early-morning grind music.
That “I’m tired of playing small” type vibe.
And coming out of Virginia, it feels authentic — not manufactured.
💭 Final Thoughts
I wish more people were told early:
You don’t have to belong to everyone.
You don’t have to prove yourself to the crowd.
And you definitely don’t have to go broke trying to look loyal.
Sometimes the strongest move is stepping away and building quietly.
That’s what “What It Is” feels like.
Not hype.
Not fake deep.
Just real.
Listen. Reflect. Then ask yourself — are you building or just belonging?
