When asked about the inspiration behind project Tooley stated, “In Due Time is really just a statement itself. You know where I come from, people don’t get too many of these chances, so in due time they’ll know about me and what I got going on.”
The emotive standout track, “Hard Knocks” unveils Tooley’s experience growing up in the projects of Huntsville, Alabama witnessing violence, substance abuse, and others’ ebbed attempts to leave the hood.
