the past year almost broke me, but like jordan’s second coming, I am now 45.
thankful for my family and friends for keeping my spirit buoyant and for the genuine relationships i’ve cultivated and kept strong along the way from kindergarten to now.
if I ever told you I love you in any way, shape or form, I meant that shit. onward and upward til ♾️

just got my first full-length lp, #mikeplaysitcool back on the streamers so check it out and run those numbers up for ya boy (a scrillion times)!
I dropped this album back in 2011 in my first year living in nyc. very scary unsure times in my life, but this being an all-hands on deck @hnrlcrew project really put he wind in my sails. @trackademicks and @1oakallday handled the production and featured along with @spankpops@msnorthface_ and @fakenikkijean . also shoutout to @askvash and @lowleaf for their vocal support as well in various capacities, and for @sisiliapiring on shooting the cover and @donutandwhisky for designing it (inspired by reid miles cover for freddie hubbard’s “hub tones” lp).
The 15 year anniversary is in oct, so this won’t be the last time I post about it, but now that it’s back on the streaming platforms — thanks @unitedmasters — here’s some visual inspiration for what this album feels like to me.
enjoy!

some of my faves from my dad’s old jet magazine collection. black history in the palm of your hand. which covers catch your eye? I’m partial to one with the headline “Paris Fashion Expert Finds Negroes Have Prettiest Knees”, but they’re all treasure troves of information and #blackhistory that should be archived and preserved for generations to come, yadadamean?
