Lito channels pain, passion, and perseverance on Manifest Destiny, reflecting on past mistakes and stating his intentions for the future. “Lately I been thinking too much,” he growls over an eerie Metro Boomin beat on “Too Much,” while on “Serenity,” he joins forces with fellow sensitive soul Kevin Gates to reflect on failed relationships and second chances. On the somber, jazzy title track, Lito gets real about his struggles with PTSD and how to free his soul from the trappings of material things.
