AFTERTHOT is the big morning stretch you do after waking up in fresh sheets.
AFTERTHOT is the burnt sugar on creme brulee getting cracked by the back of your spoon.
AFTERTHOT is THOTFORM's more social bestie unafraid to order for them both at the restaurant.
there are songs on this album we started working on over 3 years ago. there are lyrics I poured my heart into after facing enough sobriety AND intoxication to bring the truth out. there are beats that seem so illegally good I questioned whether @amada was merely masquerading a human. @closegood_ is in the business of making masterpieces, always winning, bandwagon now.

R.A.P. Ferreira- Sublimation compels the artist to beauty. Even the worker trafficking in ugly does so because they find the truth of the unattractive to be most gorgeous of all. As kindness becomes antiquated and paranoia the normal operating procedure, an art form as indulgent as rap can seem tasteless.
