Firstly I want to say thank you to everyone that’s been supporting this album and my journey over the past year. 5 months ago when this first dropped I was in a much more stable place (I had a job) and although my life in some ways is less stable now, I’ve never felt more solid, sure and supported in what I’m doing and the path I’m walking. I haven’t done physicals for a project in 6 years but I really want to give myself and the people who were a part of this every possible chance to remember this moment in time. ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ CD’s available for pre order. Link in bio. I’ll also be signing these. Tty soon.

Me and @evan_mader were out doing a photo shoot loosely based around the Robert Johnson crossroads story. We peeped that one of the older digital cameras he had had a weird frame rate causing the videos taken on it to have a surreal feeling to them. When in Rome. We decided to shoot a whole video on it. This song was a light response to a Philly Top 10 list that came out in like 2022. I was pissed I wasn’t on it. But most of the material I was working on at the time, that I felt deserved to put me in this group of artists wasn’t out. Not even anyone in HBC had heard a lot of the music. (Some of which would later end up on Rosemarys Baby). I had to eat that but still felt snubbed. This took me back to a moment in high school in 2011 when @mtv dropped their hottest mc’s list. I remember @xdannyxbrownx (who had just dropped XXX) surprise dropped a song #HottestMC that same day or day after in response. He had just dropped one of the best (and my favorite) album of that year and was undeniably one of the best rappers out and got snubbed. I love that song and that moment stuck with me. I play that song everytime I feel extra down and out in pits of despair. So to homage to that song, that moment in time and the feeling of being snubbed I gave the song its first name. I gave it the second to get my lick back. Even if I get snubbed again. Even if you feel differently. It’s already written in stone on ‘Rosemary’s Baby’. Out everywhere now. Full video link in bio.

Here in my home studio i am finalizing and gluing down Beach (2025). A year ago i was making collages on half of the dinner table. Progress and success looks different for everyone, sometimes it means having a desk all to yourself. I look forward to developing my space to inspire and motivate me further.
Thank you @evan_mader for taking these photos, and capturing my vision. My gratitude extends past the screen and finds you and embraces you for life. Here’s to many more years of friendship and collaboration.
