Run by Nadir Omowale
"Run" is a song about stamina and perseverance. Lyrically it's about someone running for their lives. Metaphorically, this is the symbolic story of every Black person on the planet. It feels like a never ending cycle. From the slave catcher's hounds, from the Klansman's noose, from oppression, from discrimination, from the police, we're constantly running. Failure isn't an option. "If I let them catch me, I'm as good as dead."

“To label Nadir as a neo-soul artist would be neglecting his rock roots; to call him a rock artist would be overlooking his hip-hop and jazz influences. Fully encompassing all the talents that Nadir possesses would be comparable to expanding the mathematical term Pi to its last digit.” – The Michigan Chronicle, Detroit, Michigan
