Album Name Planning

When trying to find an album name for Jaden Smith, I looked at his original songs and MSFTS caught my eye, so I thought about calling it 'Misfits' but this is already a well known TV series in the UK about juvenile offenders and thought this would not only paint Jaden Smith in a bad light, but also the black community because the stereotype of young black men especially is that they're just looking for trouble and are no good.

I wanted something that not only described him, but his fans too to make them feel connected to him as an artist.

After brainstorming and thinking, I came up with the name 'Undeclared'
Jaden Smith is obviously very famous and is publicly acknowledge, but in the song scarface, he raps about wanting to make the pain and fame go away so I thought this was fitting
Also, there are a lot of victims to police brutality and racism who are not publicly announced, admitted, or acknowledged.  There is a campaign for this called #SayTheirNames which asks people to be active on social media and to talk about the injustice of these people.
