The Brooklyn-emcee Casanova sheds his gritty exterior to reveal the revelations he has reached as a man in his newest album, I Get It Now. The twelve-track album takes listeners through an audio tabernacle that unearths Casanova’s shadow work to become the better man he is today. 

In the album’s lead single, “Forgive Me Father,” Casanova reflects on his sins while exposing what made him act out in sin. He raps to listeners about losing it all and having to win it back. The hook, “So fuck family and fuck friends,” reflects how the rough history with his relatives and friends affected his ability to give love throughout the song. He asks God, “Who let the Devil in?” to raise self-awareness on what’s affecting his decision-making. 

In the following track, “So Serious,” featuring Da Baby, Casanova acknowledges the aftermath of his past actions. His feelings of restlessness are reflected in the lines “Baby mama riffin’, wifey ain’t different, …  My mother is in the church. Her father in the church, they both found God, but our problems getting worse. Got caught in the mall, fighting cases is the norm… I ain’t a pawn, I’m a king. A Black man trying to do his thing.” He continues the song by saying how he gives back to the community to become a better man amidst his hardships.  

I Get It Now explores other topics from lust in the track “Please,” luxury and wealth in the upbeat club song “Miami” featuring Chris Brown, and facing resentment he got from the world in “Hate Me.” The opening lyrics of “Hate Me” are on the letter in the cover art.

Brooklyn, New York-based rapper Casanova started his career relatively late after incarceration for various crimes. Following a brief spell as a laborer on release from prison, he realized that music was the true path he wanted to pursue. Casanova recorded his first single in June 2016, “Don’t Run.” The song’s success led him to ink a deal with Memphis Bleek’s Warehouse Music. After releasing his debut mixtape, Be Safe Tho, Casanova joined the Party Tour alongside Chris Brown, 50 Cent, and French Montana. He released his debut full-length album, Commissary, in the summer of 2018. Casanova has worked with additional artists like Davido, Tory Lanez, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, and Jeremiah.
