I think i finally finished my album. Perfect? Yes. Polished? No. But i wouldn’t have it any other way. A continuation of my demo tape (or demo tape era?) Wrote every line. Made every beat. Mixed every track. Recorded & Engineered by Study. And Im proud of the product. In a way it’s like a time machine.. All the weird futuristic shit I made processed & packaged for Todays ears. All things that go out of style comes back in. All that comes up must come down. & vice versa. This also just a homage to a few of the artists that made me who i am today. The me i almost forgot i was trying to conform for the sake of marketability & currency.. When in reality the voice in the back of my mind (it really comes from the side but that’s another story for another day) is just like “give the art to the children dawg. Jesus died with the clothes on his back.. whats profit to a prophet?”

That was very cheese mind voice, but point taken.

So this year im releasing a project ive been working on for about 9 years (yearofthenine) which was supposed to come out last year on a 9 year but i feel this year is more fitting. It just amazes me how history repeats itself looking back on the content and even the soundscape of the project.. it lead me to an interesting thought about hiphop music and more specifically my music pertaining to the words we use. Im conflicted. Half of me feels as if a story was already there to be told while the other half wonders if i manifested this reality.. which is why this is like a prelude to #EIH in a way because the theme of that is fate v faith, and just how circumstances and experiences internal and external can shape you but does it change your character? Nurture v Nature in a sense.. is it just we are who we are or do your experiences fundamentally change you to another person? If the ladder is the case whats the route back to your true essence.. (#ISOAOU but thats a story for another time) Anyway idk im excited to release this music from the vault because in a sense it feels as if im closing a chapter in my life. One that ive held on to for too long.
