“WEST INDIES isn't just a project we collaborated on, it's a love letter from the West Coast, a testament to the culture that shaped us, and a reminder of God's unwavering love. We wanted to create something that bumps with the sounds of our streets, something that unites the West and points to the God who's always been here. It's a celebration of where we come from and the faith that guides us – a sound that slaps, a message that sticks, and a love that transcends. God is really on the West.”
