    Sedona Marie Baptiste, or as few know her as simply Syd, was far from the average Aries that manages to survive the 365 days that turn into a year. Sagaciously sweet, ridiculously combative to where it makes her laugh when thinking about it, Sedona often found herself gravitating to those who adored the ground she walked on like a moth to a never-ending flame, and for that, she will be forever grateful. A musical prodigy since she was six found herself sharing her gift with willing talent in the industry allowing for them to be blessed with the presence of her writing skills and voice, the soon-to-be, twenty-nine-year-old.

Sedona has learned, to take life as the gift it is no matter how many times it's threatened to bring her down. With her now deceased father who'd had a long battle with prostate cancer eventually succumbing to his illness, she is what you recount as a delicacy that is well hidden for the protection of her own. To put it in shorter terms she hated death. It made her skin crawl. And that's maybe why she'd rather spend hours in the studio than sitting stoic at a funeral. Call it being over-critical, she calls it keeping her sanity.

Kendrick Lamar. That's the name. His name. A remarkable and unequaled name belonging to an enigma of a man whose presence alone spoke volumes for himself without a single word having to converse. Concrete Rose, Kendrick is authentic, even with a heart of clenched gold who desires to share his art. A notable example of his community, Kendrick vividly pursues and prides his passion as an artist. The demand of his highly-recognized career keeps him from lingering over the disturbing realities that are life even though life itself tends to make its way in. However, there was still something so meaningfully absent—that is until he is introduced to the quietly-kept songstress at a label party.

After a series of coincidences that plague the inner lives between the two, it is revealed that being in one another's companionship ignites an unbeknownst spark of feelings. Good feelings, that is. What happens when Sedona and Kendrick find themselves at the peak of their careers questioning if they have what it takes to prevail through it all?
