The judges include nas, adele, Tom Waits, DMX, Director of Republic Records etc etc. really well written as i started off with the principal, close friends and my mom being so sarcastic about my budding interest in music,,,,the song is about my friend's heartbreaking story of domestic violence and i was so motivated that i had to kinda leave study(temporarily) for a while since it was my soul-searching journey. my friends and even the principal were saying like 'u can't make it as a producer, ur wasting time and asking me what i would do if i didn't win the title in ISC'. But i guess we'll never know coz i did! </p>
