Letting Go of Weight to Move Better
didn’t start as a closed idea or a philosophical concept. It began as Air, a more open and intuitive project, connected to the idea of flow. Over time —and through the process itself— something appeared that was impossible to ignore: we don’t always flow, because many times we are carrying weight. Weight made of thoughts, expectations, and things we don’t know when or why we started holding onto.
When I started working with K3kha, that point began to take shape. Through conversations, exchanging ideas, and experimenting with sounds, the concept of Prison Mind became clear. The human mind has a constant tendency to cling on: to overthink, repeat patterns, refuse to let go, to not grow, not fly, not move forward. It’s something silent and everyday — and precisely because of that, it often goes unnoticed.
Listening to the finished track and feeling a sense of relief wasn’t symbolic or forced. It was real. There’s a moment when something settles internally, even if only for a few minutes. The problem is that we often ignore those signals, keep accumulating weight, and end up reinforcing that mental prison without realizing it.
Collaboration as Part of the Message
This collaboration was essential for the concept to fully make sense. Me working from Uruguay and K3kha from Georgia, with completely different schedules and routines that had to be adjusted. Even so, the process felt natural. There was no rigid structure or fixed plan. There was trial, error, discarding, and listening.
More than once, letting go of personal ideas was necessary for the track to move forward. Far from being a problem, that became a lesson. Understanding that not everything has to be under control, and that stepping aside at the right moment is also a way of creating. is the result of that real exchange, without forcing anything.
References That Shaped the Process
During the development of the concept, the film Up in the Air came back to my mind and became an unavoidable reference. The entire movie presents a way of living that isn’t common for most people: traveling light, reducing possessions, and choosing what is worth carrying. The backpack scene is key — imagining that you’re carrying everything you consider indispensable and asking yourself how much it actually weighs.
When you travel, you don’t take your house, your car, or all your material belongings with you. You take yourself: your thoughts, your values, your fears, and your conflicts. That idea connects directly with . Choosing what to carry isn’t just practical; it’s a stance toward life and toward what you decide to do.
There’s also a specific reference to Breaking Bad. In one scene, Mike tells Saul Goodman a simple but powerful line about forgetting. That line sums up something many of us know but rarely apply: there are things that should be let go, but we choose to keep carrying them.
The track was built gradually. Layers coming in, tensions being held, and others being let go. There was no search for a climax or a final explosion. The intention was to create a more honest feeling: that gradual sense of relief that appears when you let go of something you’ve been carrying for a long time.
Visual Identity and Cover Art
The cover art for Prison Mind follows the same concept. Colors, textures, and an aesthetic that suggests confinement, but also the possibility of escape. It doesn’t aim to be literal, but to convey a feeling. Our faces appear as part of that identity — not as characters, but as people shaped by the same conflict the track seeks to reflect.
Visual Identity and Cover Art
Before the official release, the track was played in my Azkaban DJ Mix and received very positive feedback from the audience. It served as a natural continuation of the EP, connecting directly with the story and overall theme of the project.
The visual concept of the video and artwork revolves around that constant tension between weight and lightness. Muted colors, dense atmospheres, and moments of openness accompany the track’s message.
Connect, Don’t Explain
Prison Mind doesn’t aim to tell anyone how to live or offer definitive answers. Its intention is to connect with people going through the same mental state—showing that this weight exists, that it’s common, and that ignoring it often costs more than facing it.
Sometimes it’s not about adding something new, but about examining what we’re carrying. Letting go isn’t always easy, but it can be necessary.
This track is born from that: from observing yourself, questioning, and daring to release what no longer allows you to flow.
