Definition Of Artistry Takes Listeners “State to State” with Vision, Growth, and Purpose

Atlanta’s own Definition Of Artistry is back with his latest project, "State to State", released on August 29, 2025 under his independent label Legacy Over Money Records. The project, though technically an EP, carries the depth and ambition of a full-length album. Driven by a desire to 'capture the moment,' the artist created this body of work during his summer promo & Media press run, allowing each track to serve as a snapshot of real-time energy and emotion. His motivation stemmed from being fully present in his craft, translating the hustle, movement, and inspiration that came with life on the road into a cohesive musical experience.

What makes State to State truly special is the journey behind it. Definition Of Artistry reflects on the challenges of entrepreneurship and creative independence, emphasizing the perseverance it takes to succeed without compromise. "Entrepreneurship will test every fiber of your being," he says, and through this project, he channels that relentless spirit. Each record stands as proof of endurance, creativity, and purpose—embodying his belief that success belongs to those who never quit. The album also marks a shift in his collaborative approach, incorporating more features than fans might expect, symbolizing his mission to build coalitions over competition while expanding his influence from Atlanta to the West Coast.

Beyond the music, Definition Of Artistry continues to inspire through leadership and innovation. As the founder of Legacy Over Money, a thriving clothing line and music brand, he has built a platform that blends culture, motivation, and artistry under one unified vision. His sound, often described as a fusion of street wisdom, poetic introspection, spiritual undertones, and cultural commentary, positions him alongside greats like Nas, Tupac, Nipsey Hussle, Jay-Z, and J. Cole—yet he remains unmistakably himself. With plans already in motion for State to State 2, new merchandise drops via www.LegacyOverMoney.com, and upcoming shows to bring his message to the people, Definition Of Artistry is proving that legacy isn’t just a word—it’s a movement.
