Fresh off the heels of the viral success of “nuevecincoseis,” 350 is set to release a new project next week. 3: Does Anyone Know You’re Going This Way? will be the first of three projects he will release in a series, each beginning with subsequent 5: and 0: of course.
Inspired by Lemony Snicket’s Series Of Unfortunate Events, the album name poses the question, if you are lost, would people know where to go to find you?
The project is a deep dive into the bitterness that 350 has processed over the years, toward his family, and bred from the many changes in his life.
350 is excited about the seed of maturity that could potentially be planted in his listeners.
“Heavenonearth was fun and we had a blast with that, but I don’t feel like that’s what God has called me to make with this,” said 350. “I think sometimes artists get scared about going deeper and they blame their audience for not being mature enough to go there. When really, it’s our fault. People will always live down to the expectations you have of them.”
I’m excited to be around to watch him continue to raise the bar. You can’t lead people to a place you haven’t been yourself, and 350 is an artist who isn’t afraid of bringing candor and relatability to his art.
Songs like “Walls” and “Make the News” (a double entendre where “news” could be pronounced “noose”) are standouts dealing with depression, defense mechanisms, and bitterness towards self.
