Thank you !!!

Yeah, 2 Rugged 2 Fail, Faded and all week were all lead singles. For the tape I really was inspired by Atlanta and houston and wanted to big up my influences like dolph or migos and thugga you know ? Also as a song writer the Beatles drake and Frank ocean were really up there for me too as far as trying to make a cohesive album I always tried to go the Kendrick route but I dont have the budget so hopefully on the next one !

It haunts me everyday is fire af, the build up to begin, subject matter

So I've listened to the albuma few times front to back can you care to speak on your headspace and where you were at and the inspiration for it

So for the past 4 years I’ve been trying to put a project together, I’ve always had the vision for it and how I wanted it to look aesthetically. It’s just really f***ing expensive to record and mix and buy the beats blah blah. On top of that I’m going through my own s*** in my personal life and I’ve been writing since I was sixteen so this was a passion project, I’ve lost hard drives recorded so many records some I did like and some I didn’t like. But I really tried to keep the quality consistent with this one, at least to the point I can make peace with putting it out. As far as influences I feel like this is a very ktt album. Kanye, Carti, Drake, the Beatles, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, PARTYNEXTDOOR, the Weeknd, A$ap Rocky and like numerous other people we would come check in on the daily here, which is why I love this website because I really admire and look up to those artists too. I wanted the raps to be catchy and easily remembered and I followed pop song structure on some songs. I wanted songwriting and lyricism to be at the forefront (not that I’m barring out like Wayne or whatever) but I wanted that to be displayed that I could write a nice verse and a nice hook. I also wanted it to be a hip-hop record but not just rap so I balance melodies and rapping. The production I feel like are beats that I say with and I really spent time with. Like if something happened in my life I would be like oh that’s perfect for that or this is perfect for this. I love all the producers on here they’re really really dope I’ll add them soon. As far as subject matter… sex, hedonism grandiosity we’re all Themes and I didn’t want it to be on some basic s*** like it was intentional. I have songs I wrote for the project really political but I saved that for my growth as an artist. Like I wanted to convey my list for these things and it haunts me every day was like a wake up call sort of thing. If I’m alive for the next one and I get the budget I want I will for sure expand on this formula but for now this is my story and I still stand on it.

And now you've done that again congratulations so as to the next part of this story can you speak to what that is is it the same will it be something different I know it's super early to ask you about the follow-up but I also believe that an artist of your caliber is also capable of talking about it so without even really saying too much what should one want from you if there's going to be a next if someone wants to hear more from you will it be there?

I love what you done and what you created it's a bit hard to have this conversation not in real time through replies

congrats!!!!

I think you can expect some growth on the next one both sonically and songwriting and perhaps subject matter wise. I would love to work with other artists I think can fit the story too and want to push the envelope creatively and bring a product that appeals to more people without sacrificing artistic integrity. You know ?
