Loooove this one. It’s an art piece fr ✨🌌
So much of our lives is dictated to us by the construction of a man-made clock. We ration parcels of our lives away and negotiate our values based on what we give time to. “Melting Clocks” is a time-travel art piece. A song to question our relationship to time and practice presence.
On “melting clocks,” i straddle the world between that which makes sense and that of which our senses are tested. We don’t have to look far for the shattered ground that is paved of the illogical and magical. The track, which nods to Dali only in name, boasts a tempo that darts, transports, and moves as if time itself were being questioned. This work makes us wonder about what we know to be true and stirs us to lean into the mystical unknown. The song extends with clever lyrical offerings from @mickjenkins , @vicmensa , and @joshlanemusic .

Mick Jenkins was grinding for 11 years on 2 checks a year 👀
He finally said enough — went independent, found EVEN, and started getting paid every month. But the part that hit different? Fan data. Names, emails, locations — information every artist deserves and most platforms quietly keep for themselves.
