“Rain” is a sensual seduction—a second in time. It’s the start of all of it, the introduction to X Tapes. “Rain” is the story of somebody that’s already in your life. The attraction is there, the connection is solidified, however that any person won’t be one of the best for you. Although you will have your skepticisms, you continue to resolve to go all in.
“Nights I Cry”
“Nights I Cry” is a mirrored image of the current previous. It’s the second if you notice you’re weak to this individual. You’re in love however that very same love now has you in utter disappointment. It’s that interval of realization that has you shocked in some sense. Wait a minute, we made all these plans collectively— all these guarantees to at least one one other— and now it’s all gone in useless? Was all of it a lie?
Chris Cruz
“Area”
This was the primary document I wrote for X Tapes. It’s the layer of feelings if you acknowledge the start of the top. I’m accepting the inevitable that issues are slowly coming to an finish right here.
“Heartbreak on the Westside”

Whether or not it’s taking a drive, listening to music, or crying— no matter that appears like for you, to search out that inside peace, is what this track describes for me.

“All for Nothing” that includes Rick Ross
“All For Nothing” is the reflection of all the pieces that has occurred up to now. It’s reviewing the current second and envisioning what’s subsequent. That is the second of standing tall in resilience and seeing the expansion out of all of it.
“Solely One”
“Solely One” about going by a breakup and your accomplice involves that second after they notice they’ve fucked up. You continue to care however you need to put your self first and transfer on. You misplaced out on somebody that was driving for you and now it’s too late.
“Chrome (In My Emotions) Dwell”
“Chrome” within the tracklist sequence is the second track based mostly on the fabric. It’s solely the final on the mission track due to the stay recording. “Rain” performs proper into “Chrome.” The place “Rain” is the candy means of claiming, boy don’t mess with me, “Chrome” follows up and exhibits you why you shouldn’t mess with me. “Didn’t I inform you, when it was raining to not play with me”? “Now let me go get one thing from the trunk, I’ll be proper again.” [laughs]. #XTapesOnRepeat
