Following the official release of his sophomore LP, Everything Changed Nothing, Trek Life serves up an inspiring aftertaste with new single, “Ready to Live.” A cathartic expression through rhyme, Trek uses the track, which serves as the album’s first song, to pay homage to loved ones lost and the infinite future to be found. “Life is hard man/ No life is easy/ No life is exactly what you make it/ Believe me,” professes the young emcee. Providing an unassuming quality to the LP, “Ready to Live” is a standout track that highlights Trek’s most genuine emotions and adept word painting abilities.

The beat, produced by D.C. native Oddisee evokes a level of imagery in it’s own right. Adorned with a layering of deep synthetic undertones, an acoustic piano, and penetrating drum loops the track creates an introspective soundscape for the emcee’s inspired lyrical content. On the motivation behind the song Trek says, “it was inspired by the first day we took my daughter to the beach in L.A. It was one of those moments that I felt like everything was all good and seeing her experience new things made me realize that there’s nothing in life that I can ever complain about. I try to focus on the good things and realize that life is what you make it.”
