In a world that constantly takes, this one gives you back to yourself. Former NFL Pro Bowler turned recording artist Darren Waller joins forces with rising producer-vocalist JRod on Choose Myself. Released ahead of their upcoming collaborative EP Cadillac Problems, the track is a bold and vulnerable declaration of self-worth. With silky vocals, grounded verses, and lush production, “Choose Myself” carves out a space for healing in a culture of noise. Wrapped in emotional clarity, this track captures the pain of being stretched too thin and the power of choosing peace without apology. Waller had to say:
‘Choose Myself’ came from a real conversation about how self-care can be misrepresented. It’s about breaking away from escapism and stepping into purpose.
JRod adds:
It’s freeing, vulnerable, and soulful. I wanted a beat that could be vibey and deep at the same time.
Their words aren’t just quotes — they’re evidence of a shared mission. The upcoming “Cadillac Problems” EP is set to arrive this summer, pulling together Waller’s journey through the spotlight, addiction, and recovery with JRod’s finely tuned sense of melody and emotion. From backyard talks to musical therapy, this collaboration is a soulful fusion of R&B and hip-hop in the making.
