Good Intentions. The sophomore album from @egoellamay is OUT NOW everywhere. We slow cooked this one with some of the most incredible talent on earth for a few years and you can damn sure tell. Art over gimmicks with timeless music at it’s core. Proud of Ego for delivering this incredible body of work and I’m proud to play a tiny part in bringing this one to life. Now the journey really begins. Make sure you grab a physical copy/hit your DSP of choice, press play, let the art and heart seep in, tell a friend to tell a friend and come see us live. More to come.

It’s been a week + it still doesn’t feel real. (Emo post coming one of these days…) but for now. ‘Legend Has It…’ issue #1 is out now! The genesis of @massappeal + @marvel universe is here and I’m so humbled to have contributed to this alongside some INCREDIBLE talents and minds. To be able to authentically showcase @nas @therulernyc @ghostfacekillah @mobbdeepqb @mobbdeephavoc @prodigymobbdeep @raekwon @plugwondelasoul @djmaseo @wearedelasoul @bigl_139 @djpremier in comic art form is an honor. S/O to @glogowerpower + @bittenbender for allowing this nerd to play a part in this and trusting me with the story. S/O @jonnyempire203 and the @marvelcomics gang 🙏🏿 Salute @sanfordgreene on the cover art + character designs, Brandon Thomas on the script, @justingreenwoodart + @jasonmuhr on interior art. You killed it!! Oh… copies are selling like crazy. We already sold out the B&W variant and there are only a few color copies left. Oh s/o @shenannieganns for my cameo in the Nas scene. 😂 To be continued…

This is crazy! Every childhood dream has been realised! The Mass Appeal gang let me play a small part in bringing this to life… and I’m so grateful! Hip Hop Meets The Multiverse 🌌 @MassAppeal has partnered with @Marvel to bring your favorite #LegendHasIt artists together for a special edition comic book! ⚡️ Limited copies will be available at New York Comic Con - Friday 10/10 at the Javits Center. Visit us at The Whatnot Booth #1000. 🖼️ by @sanfordgreene 🔥 Big S/O to @glogowerpower for all the hard work. H.N.I.C (Head Nerds In Charge) 🙏🏿
