Arik wants to spread the message as far as it can reach.

He shared, “I just want them to take away this: You can be different. I want you to be feeling good today. I just want you to be chasing your dreams. I want them to be happy about themselves.”

Arik had the “best night” of his life when he got to perform the song with DJ Nitti at an Orlando nightclub to celebrate its release.

He shared the photos on Instagram and wrote, “Thank you so much for all of the support that helped me get to make a song with DJ Nitti. I love you bro.”

DJ Nitti has been a huge fan of Arik. The message of the song also resonates with him because of his cousin, who has autism.

He said, “It’s actually very close to my heart to be able to work on music, especially with someone with a disability. And, to treat everyone equally. It’s a message that is right up my alley, and it means a lot to him to sing about it. So, I wanted to help him get his message out.”

Thanks to their collaboration, Arik is one step closer to his dreams.

Arik declared, “I want to be one of the biggest disability rappers, and I want to be an inspiration to all types of people.”

Congratulations, Arik! It’s just the beginning of your career and you’re already inspiring millions of people. We wish you all the best.
