Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Detroit producer and emcee's conceptually driven sixth album tells a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story centered around the struggles of urban youth. The dense, jazz-inflected boom-bap production serves as a dark backdrop for narratives exploring faith, violence, and street survival.
