Preze Pack Pours His Soul Into Explosive New Anthem ‘Focus (If I’m Wrong)’

In a culture that rewards flash over substance, Preze Pack is cutting through the noise with a record that bleeds truth. His new release, “Focus (If I’m Wrong),” is more than a song—it’s a moment of clarity in the middle of chaos. Hailing from Neptune, New Jersey, and raised on the sounds of Lauryn Hill, Tupac, and Michael Jackson, Preze Pack is no stranger to storytelling. But this time, the story hits harder. It’s personal. Unfiltered. Necessary.

With a flow sharpened by experience and lyrics laced with emotional grit, “Focus (If I’m Wrong)” confronts the quiet desperation that comes from grinding in silence. It’s a reflection of what it feels like to give your all and still feel invisible—to be the one everyone leans on, yet have no one check in when you’re slipping. The track paints that blurry line between resilience and collapse, between staying locked in and crashing out.

But what makes this single stand out isn’t just the honesty—it’s the balance. Preze Pack doesn’t glorify the struggle; he humanizes it. He holds up a mirror to the moments we all try to outrun: doubt, burnout, the search for something to numb the noise. In his own words, “Desperation leads to mistakes,” but Focus is a reminder that awareness can be the first step back to yourself.

Built on a haunting instrumental and verses that land like gut punches, the record’s impact is immediate. You feel it. And if you’ve ever been in that place where you’re pushing forward but barely hanging on—this one’s yours.

Preze Pack hopes that listeners walk away understanding the deeper truth behind the hustle: that being a creative isn’t a choice, it’s a calling. And with that comes a weight most people never see. The fight to stay focused isn’t just about ambition—it’s about survival. But through discipline, authenticity, and unwavering love for the craft, Preze shows us that the way back is always within reach.

In a rap scene hungry for realness, “Focus (If I’m Wrong)” is a rallying cry for every artist out there who’s fighting battles behind bars. Preze Pack isn’t just rapping—he’s revealing. And that vulnerability? That’s the real power. If you’re vibing with Preze Pack’s latest release, make sure to check out our feature on his previous single, 'Nick Foles,' right here.

“Focus (If I’m Wrong)” dives into the emotional toll of staying strong when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Was there a specific moment or experience that sparked this song?

My entire adult life, up to this point, has been defined by the sacrifices I’ve made in pursuit of something greater. Every single day I’m here, I push myself to grow and evolve. I take risks that most people shy away from, and I’ve learned to live, almost unapologetically, with the consequences of those choices.

That being said, my early twenties were some of the most trying years of my life. I couldn’t find a job that aligned with who I am. I launched a business from scratch with no blueprint and no mentor, and that journey came with both high highs and painful lows. My mental health was in shambles because I never gave myself space to breathe. I was constantly grinding and constantly chasing. I was broke more often than not. I felt like I was letting down the people who believed in me. And on top of it all, my family, once so tight-knit, was unraveling in ways that weighed heavily on my spirit.

So to answer the question, there wasn’t just one moment that sparked “Focus (If I’m Wrong).” It was a culmination, a slow build-up of heartbreak, frustration, and resilience. The song came from that boiling point, when holding it all in just wasn’t an option anymore.

You talk about the difference between discipline and motivation—how has that mindset shaped your journey in music so far?

Motivation is what gets you started. It’s the spark that lights the fire. It gets you out of bed with a purpose and gives meaning to the dream. But the truth is, motivation fades. There are days you don’t feel like writing, recording, networking, or even thinking about music at all.

That’s where discipline comes in. Discipline is the difference between the people who are good and the ones who push past that initial spark to become great. It’s like training for anything. You hit the gym even when you’re tired. You put up extra shots when nobody’s watching because you want to be ready when your moment comes.

I work on my craft every single day. Because of that, I know when the pressure is on, I can rise to the occasion. Creativity is strange. You don’t always feel inspired. But you have to push yourself to produce anyway, while still keeping it real. Sometimes that means switching things up, finding new ways to stay engaged, and still staying true to the art.

Discipline in music also means being a student of the game. Whether it’s writing, listening, learning, or failing, anything that helps sharpen your skill set contributes to your 10,000 hours. As long as I’m growing or learning something, I’m good. That consistency, that hunger to evolve, is what keeps me grounded.

Without discipline, I wouldn’t be able to release anything. Life can pull you in so many directions, and it’s easy to fall off. Discipline keeps me locked in.

There’s a raw vulnerability in this track. As an artist who people look to for strength, how do you manage that pressure while still making space for your own healing?

I’m a firm believer that not everyone needs to know every detail of what you’re going through. A lot of my healing happens within. When I speak on something in a track, it’s either something I’ve already overcome or something I’m in the process of working through. That reflection gives me the strength to show up without feeling insecure or exposed.

To be honest, I don’t really feel pressure when it comes to vulnerability. I’m human, and I’m living a human experience. I don’t expect perfection from myself, and I don’t expect it from anyone else. What I do expect is honesty, from me to me first, and then from me to the world.

I share what’s real because I know someone out there might be feeling the same thing. If I can be open and true to myself, maybe someone else can find a piece of their healing in that, too. At the end of the day, I want people to know that what they’re hearing is really me. No mask, no persona. This is the most authentic version of myself.

You’ve grown up surrounded by music and legends, from Tupac to Lauryn Hill to Kendrick. How do those influences show up in this record specifically?

This record is rooted in honesty. It’s me looking in the mirror and confronting something uncomfortable, something I can’t ignore. I feel like all the greatest artists, especially the ones who influenced me, have mastered the ability to take their lived experiences and transform them into something powerful and digestible.

When I think of Dear Mama by Tupac, Ex-Factor by Lauryn Hill, or Sing About Me by Kendrick Lamar, there’s a common thread. It’s the rawness, the vulnerability, the ability to turn pain into poetry. That level of expression feels like a prerequisite for greatness. And for me, it doesn’t feel forced. I’m not trying to recreate what they did. The music just comes out this way. My soul feels a need to speak, and when it does, this is what it sounds like.

What message would you give to other creatives out there who feel like they’re losing their focus or questioning their path?

If being a creative is truly who you are, then you will always find your way back to it. If the love runs as deep as the love I feel for music, then nothing can stop it. You’ll think about it without trying. Ideas will come together naturally. You’ll live your life to a rhythm that is different from those who aren’t wired the same way.

If you feel like you’re losing focus, remind yourself why you started in the first place. But also understand that the journey is rarely a straight line. There will be twists, setbacks, doubts, and delays. The only way the dream dies is if you quit. As long as you’re making progress and staying true to yourself, you’re already winning.

It’s also important to live beyond your craft. Go have new experiences. Step outside the bubble. Sometimes, the best way to realign with your purpose is to step away and come back with a fresh perspective. Being a full human being is just as important, if not more, than any creative pursuit. Your mindset fuels your best work. So in closing, just keep pushing. You don’t need to have all the answers today. Just don’t stop.
