The song signals the beginning of the next chapter for the rapper, who was just released from prison this past Wednesday, November 8th.

Introspective and thoughtful rhymes give way to a promise as he urges, “I’d die for this shit, I swear to God I will,” before he assures, “Don’t you ask me who I choose, ‘cause I choose the Lord.”
Stay tuned for an emotionally charged music video accompany the track at 12pm ET today.
About the song, Ralo revealed, “I’ve seen since I’ve been incarcerated nearly 6 years everybody choosing sides and becoming allies with one another, and I just wanted to acknowledge that fact that I chose to love over it all. I chose to love over the streets. I chose to love over everything that has happened in the world. So I wanted to highlight that because there’s a lot of wickedness going on...A lot of people trying to sabotage one another and trying to knock each other down so they can stand over the next man. I just wanted the world to know I’m satisfied, I’m humble. I’m appreciative, and I’m grateful for what I got. I’m happy with everything I’ve accomplished thus far and I hope to keep continuing to build.”
Ralo has undeniably left his imprint on the culture with an unwavering string of impactful projects. Since emerging from Atlanta in 2015, he has captivated audiences with his Diary of the Streets mixtape series. Along the way, he collaborated with everyone from Future and YoungBoy Never Broke Again to Gucci Mane and Lil Baby. Additionally, he made appearances on Young Thug’s acclaimed I’m Up mixtape and Birdman’s Before Anythang (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). Simultaneously, he incited the applause of The FADER, HYPEBEAST, Complex, XXL, and more. While away since 2018, he made his prolific presence felt with Free Ralo, Conspiracy, Political Prisoner, and 97 Months.
Now, he’s back with “First Day Out” and much more to come.
