Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dedicated to his paternal grandmother who significantly shaped his upbringing, the Armand Hammer member's solo album is a dense, deeply personal exploration of memory and Black history. It features complex, labyrinthine verses delivered over murky, abstract production provided largely by regular collaborators The Alchemist and Messiah Musik.
