The fly but gritty lyrical boom bap rap has been the agenda I’ve been pushing for the last decade.

The whole eclectic, art-driven 7 song EPs with minimal features has been my signature in the sub-culture for 10+ years.

It’s good to see this style of music finally receive some just due.

Here’s to another decade of setting the bar, being ahead of the curve, and pushing the envelope so far in advance that by the time the masses catch up you’re on your third lap.

If it’s one confirmation I received these past 10 years it’s that it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon indeed.

Peace to all the artists who brave the weather and weather the storm. Big thank you to everybody for the years of support and especially those who’ve ever argued in favor regarding my contribution to the genre.

Love. |THIS
