If we are to recreate the meaning of consistency through the human experience of CIC and his music journey, it would be appropriate to define consistency as staying true to oneself even when misunderstood by a moving train of minds engulfed in identity crises. Those who chase trends to be accepted often seek validation, but that has never been the case for the Commander-in-Chief. When you are in control and fully aware of who you are, you don’t bow to external forces. Consistency, in CIC’s view, is mastering the art of time management, using it to your advantage until it transforms into supernatural grace. It is the awareness that time does not exist, and songs that become timeless hits propel you into a dimension where relevance becomes perpetual. Regardless of who sees him as a rival or competition, CIC remains unbothered.
