Midway through, the song transitions into a reflective narrative where Mustard delves into the origins and themes of his forthcoming album, “Faith of a Mustard Seed.” Drawing inspiration from the late Nipsey Hussle’s words and the biblical reference that “with the faith of a mustard seed, God will allow you to move mountains,” Mustard shares how his unwavering faith has helped him overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth.

In addition to his reflections, Mustard offers insights into his spiritual journey and how faith has deepened his bond with his mother. The song culminates with an uplifting rhythm and melody, leaving a lasting impression on listeners and reinforcing the album’s message of perseverance and steadfast belief.

About Mustard:

Multi-platinum and Grammy-winning artist Mustard has achieved a serious milestone as 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of 10 Summers Records and over a decade of success for the South Los Angeles native. A triple-threat, Mustard has mastered several facets of the industry as an accomplished producer, DJ, and artist. Since his 2010 debut, he has reigned as a pioneer of urban sound, serving chart-toppers to some of music’s biggest names, including YG, Tyga, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Jhene Aiko, Roddy Ricch, and more. Through his imprint, 10 Summers Records, Mustard has been able to shine as both an artist and music executive. Possessing a keen eye for discovering talent, Mustard shocked the world by introducing his artist and protégé, Ella Mai. The U.K. songstress’ record-breaking rise to fame included the release of her 2018 RIAA Certified 2x-platinum album, Ella Mai, executive-produced by Mustard, and a 7x platinum lead single, “Boo’d Up.” Mustard has been equally impressive as an artist with his third studio album, Perfect 10, reaching RIAA Certified Platinum. He performed his 7x platinum hit “Pure Water” during the 2019 BET Awards and his 8x platinum single, “Ballin’” featuring Roddy Ricch on Jimmy Fallon, with the latter earning him a Grammy nomination for “Best Rap Song Performance.” Mustard maintains a year-round schedule, complete with a residency at the esteemed Marquee Nightclub in Las Vegas and his very own festival, Summers Fest. His work earned him the coveted DJ of the Year at the 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards. Working to build lasting success, Mustard made a significant announcement in 2019 when he inked a Global Publishing Deal through Sony/ATV. In 2020, Mustard was named Producer of the Year in Variety’s Hitmakers issue and received the 2021 ASCAP Pop Music Award for both “Ballin’” and “High Fashion,” both being the most performed ASCAP songs of 2020. Summer 2024 has been monumental for Mustard, who achieved his first No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” The track has broken records, garnering over 96 million streams in seven days. Mustard also lit up the stage at Kendrick Lamar’s sold-out Juneteenth concert, “The Pop Out,” bringing out Roddy Rich, Ty Dolla $ign, YG, and more during his set. Dominating the sound of Summer, Mustard released his first single, “Parking Lot,” featuring Travis Scott from his fifth studio album Faith of a Mustard Seed, set to release July 26th. The conceptual album is a testament to Mustard’s growth as an artist and features him as a rapper for the first time on the track “Pray For Me.” There’s no doubt that the West Coast is back on top, and Mustard is at the forefront.
