Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut solo project from the Tally Hall visionary is a chaotic, unapologetically genre-hopping collage heavily reliant on unauthorized samples and surreal humor. Crowdfunded directly by a dedicated cult fanbase, the record careens wildly between absurd comedy rap and lush psychedelic pop, almost completely ignoring conventional structural boundaries.
