Our new single “Why” is out today ! The song cuts through apathy, contradiction, and emotional burnout.
The hook — “I don’t really care” — expresses a mindset shaped by distraction and detachment, while the verses push listeners to reflect on why they choose to engage, react, or pull away.
Check it out !!
Peace Love & Respect,

Out this Friday.
As the "New Dawn" EP rollout continues, we are sharing the penultimate track, "Signs". This song is a sonic meditation on the patterns we follow and the choices that define us—an invitation to slow down and see the path clearly before taking the next step.
We are honored to feature Soraya Berent (@soraya_berent ), who wrote and performed the lyrics for the hook of this piece.
One more to follow.

Roll with it or fight back. We’re fighting till the end.
The song is called “Life” and you can hear it - live it now.
Much respect,

It’s not about talking reckless just to talk. It’s about stepping up, tightening the craft, and proving a point when it’s time to prove one.
Hip-hop has always had that competitive spirit. Sometimes you reflect. Sometimes you apply pressure. This is us applying pressure.
