"His Love" which makes seductive use of De Barge's 1983 mega hit "All This Love," is about love but on a universal level. "We ought to know how to love anybody. Basic kindness, simple consideration," B.B. JAY says. "The world is full of so much hate, that love can turn all this hate into something beautiful." While "One Way" with its practical message for people in pain was inspired by "a time in my life when I was in a distressful place in my mind," he says. "It's a real special song to me. "I Told You So" is a confrontational track based on non-belief and is for all those who didn't believe in the B.B. Jay vision. "On every level there were non-believers," he said. "It really hurts when people don't have faith in you, but it feels good when you can believe in yourself and live to see your dream come to pass." "Don't Be Mad" another provocative track, reveals B.B. JAY's thoughts on the one true thing that is wholly responsible for all his blessings.
"Hot to def" invites listeners to "Defeat Every Fallacy," he says. "Everything that's been glorified, that's destructive, my music puts an end to all that." "Po' No Mo'" is a song about mental, physical and spiritual poverty. "People are peace oppressed," B.B. JAY says. "If you don't have peace, you also lack direction, and if you lack direction then you have no destiny." "Okeedoke" is about the games people play and the on-going deceptions of mankind. "Okeedoke is a phrase I use to describe the scams of the foolish."
B.B. JAY reveals his sentimental side on "For the Ladies," a gloriously loving, melodic and respectful tribute to women. "It's from the heart," B.B. JAY says. "It's an anthem for women all over the world, a celebration of divine femininity." The album's title track "Universal Concussion" makes clear B.B. JAY's artistic ambitions. "I want everything I do to have meaning worldwide, beyond all parameters." He states. "Through its authenticity, hip hop can reach beyond its own boundaries. The music is soulful and its impact is like a universal quaking of the earth."
