S/O to @stanfordjazz for putting me in a much better place than I was beforehand. Engaging with my heroes on the daily, releasing my second hip-hop project “Reflections”with @thejuujaan , and playing in “the space” damn near everyday put a lot of things in perspective. Observe, Absorb, and Move Accordingly🙏🏽
Summer’s been actin different🤧
1) Started with @yungmen4 show at @losglobos with the wildest turnout ever
2) Valencia High school placed top 3 in our division at both festivals we competed in this year
3)Caught my PB🥲
4) Dropped a album with @yungmen4 “Your Hear Me?!”which you should go slap rn
5) Starting the rollout process for my next collab project “Reflections” with @thejuujaan under the name “RamJaan” which u should also wait to slap on 7/29
6) I’m soon headed to @stanfordjazz for their summer workshop on staff as one of 7 mentors this year, which I am truly grateful for
Life’s good when u ride it out😮💨
Words can’t describe how I feel to announce my freshman jazz record is officially out and open to to the public! Omm I’ve always had a inner struggle deciding where I want to commit my time and energy to the most, jazz or hip-hop. But making the choice to do both has been the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Thanks to all my friends, family, and everyone who’s been rooting for me, yall some real1s🙏🏽

A whole week in New York is leaving me inspired to be great. Heard so much wonderful music and met so many wonderful people as well. 2021 is my year😂 and I will become hokage! Believe it!
