Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pioneering what he coined as 'art rap', the Chicago-born MC utilizes sharp stand-up comedy framing to navigate personal anxieties, racial microaggressions, and technological reliance. The project features off-kilter, synth-heavy beats that compliment his conversational, hyper-literate delivery.
