For a little insight, “A Legendary Run” was inspired by four classic albums that each mastered something different.
Nas’ “It Was Written” inspired the storytelling and conceptual depth. Lauryn Hill’s “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” inspired the vulnerability and emotional weight. Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” inspired the level of songwriting and attention to detail. Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly” inspired the versatility and cultural impact.
I took pieces of all of those albums and poured them into this project. “A Legendary Run” is my attempt at creating something timeless, layered, honest, and impactful all at once.

The Urgent Emergent Performance Art Series powered by TruArtSpeaks (Urgent Art Series) is a year-long residency at Ice House in Minneapolis, MN, taking place monthly, every third Saturday,* in celebration of TruArtSpeaks’ 20th year anniversary and - more importantly - all of the artists who make our work and community what it is.
Founded in 2006, by Tish Jones, the arts & culture organization based in Saint Paul has a long history of providing platforms for artists to share timely and innovative work— this series is no different. The Urgent Art Series will invite new and true collaborators to share work that speaks to both the nightly theme and the series’ invitation: urgent and emergent performance art. Known for being bold in their creative work, TruArtSpeaks has curated a year of creative expression that will move the crowd, the needle, and change forward through creative cultural expression.
The Urgent Art Series is sponsored, in part, by Minnesota Public Radio.
With the Micheal Jackson biopic coming April 24th, it’s only right I give you this story from my latest EP, The Dollar Show. Link in bio.
Watch out for the Dreamkillers!
The Dollar Show EP is officially here! These are more than just songs, they’re films in an audio format. Each song represents a different film genre.
“The Wind Blew” is a classic Romantic Comedy that doesn’t end with the couple walking into the sunset. It’s about choosing yourself when all else fails.
“Dreamkillers” is a Psychological Thriller. It captures the exact moment a dream turns into doubt, There’s no clear villain, just a single moment that rewires everything, where belief in yourself fractures and you start seeing yourself differently.
“Identity Crisis” is like a DocuDrama because it centers on the emotional weight of being biracial in a culture that often expects you to be one thing or the other. Using Drake and J. Cole as reflections, it explores that quiet tension that occurs inside.
Check out The Dollar Show EP today! Link in bio.
I grew up on movies. The feeling, the storytelling, the way a scene could stick with you forever. That same love shaped how I approach music. With this EP I wanted to bring those worlds together… make something you don’t just hear, but watch in your mind. Not songs, but scenes.
The Dollar Show. Friday. 🎬🎥
I grew up going to the Dollar Show at Dolton Theater on the Southside Suburbs of Chicago. It was a second run movie theater. It wasn’t the best, but it meant something. That’s where I learned how to see more than what was in front of me. To use my imagination and to dream of something better. The Dollar Show EP comes from that same place, three tracks that feel like films, but with real intention behind it.
Dropping this Friday, April 10th.
In Chicago they used to call it The Dollar Show.
One dollar. Second run movies. Flickering screens and big dreams. Most people saw a cheap theater. I saw possibility. I’m bringing that feeling back.
3 tracks. No filler. Just storytelling at its best.
🎟️ “The Dollar Show” coming soon.
