Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded following the death of his father, the album features a more introspective and emotionally charged narrative compared to his previous works. The production incorporates more aggressive, rock-inflected drumming and heavy synthesizer leads that signify a shift toward live performance energy. It serves as a stylistic document of personal mourning and artistic maturation within the Detroit urban landscape.
