Somehow Nasia's perspective focused on the possibility to overcome than become a victim. Listen as he brings light to tragedy, understanding to poverty, and insight beyond his years through a genre of music he has loved his whole life.

At an early age Nasia found relief in storytelling and poetry. At age 15 his older cousin who rapped introduced him to a way to make his poetry flow over beats, this was his first interaction with rhyming. He soon became obsessed with the idea of making poems and stories sound musical. Nasia soon began to consume any Hip-Hop he could grab, with Nas, Outkast, W-Tang and Mase being huge early influences. He soon began to seek to share his music and rapping skills, performing at open mics and any cypher or street battle he could find. He with friends become apart of a local label group called “Water Works Music”.

Under Water Works the label released a compilation project called 6 months or better. He later began to record more frequently and amassed a great deal of music outside of the group and in 2006 released a solo project called “Truth Shines” under his former stage name “Meda”. He went on to release a second project independently in 2010 called “My First Life”. His personal life then began to take a different turn after being introduced to the message of the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ. He began to question all aspects of his life music being a huge piece.

After years of internal battle and a passion to share his life’s experiences and culture he decided to peruse music again with a deep commitment to inspiring and motivating through Hip-Hop. He changed his stage name from “Meda” to his birth name Nasia and decided to let whom would listen see how much his own life has changed with rediscovering his Passions, Dreams and Truths. This unique approach to hip-hop is a reach in today’s, speed of information consumption. He has crafted thought provoking, self-examining music that is simple to understand yet grand to the listeners who have the ear to hear his heart. Nasia believes music is a vehicle that GOD has given him to reach those who otherwise could not grasp truth in more formal ways. Listen to his music with an open mind, clear heart and allow it to inspire what is in you to find and continue to find a way out. This is what he calls “Don’t Die with Dreams Inside” the beginning of “Leader Music”.

Everytime you feel like you cannot go on
You feel so lost
That your so alone
All you is see is night
And darkness all around
You feel so helpless
You can't see which way to go
Don't despair and never loose hope

Cause Allah is always by your side

Insya Allah 2x
Insya Allah you'll find your way

Everytime you can make one more mistake
You feel you can't repent
And that its way too late
Your're so confused, wrong decisions you have made
Haunt your mind and your heart is full of shame

Don't despair and never loose hope
Cause Allah is always by your side
Insya Allah 2x
Insya Allah you'll find your way

Insya Allah 2x
Insya...

Overall Meaning

The song Inshallah by MEDA is a hopeful and uplifting anthem for those in difficult times. The opening lines express the feeling of being lost and alone, with darkness surrounding and no clear path to follow. However, the chorus reminds us that Allah is always with us, offering hope and guidance even in the darkest of moments. This message is particularly relevant for those facing struggles with faith, regret, or uncertainty about the future.

The second verse intensifies the emotions, as the lyrics describe the weight of past mistakes and the sense of being unable to repent or make amends. This sense of shame and guilt can be paralyzing, but the song emphasizes that Allah's forgiveness is always available, giving us the strength to move forward and find our way. Throughout the song, the repeated phrase "Insya Allah" (which means "God willing" in Arabic) reinforces the message that everything ultimately rests in Allah's hands, and we can trust in his wisdom and compassion.

Overall, Inshallah is a beautiful and inspiring song that speaks to the power of faith and hope in times of darkness. It encourages listeners to hold onto their beliefs and trust in Allah's guidance to lead them to a brighter future.
