Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a conceptual bridge between full-length albums, 'What Happens When I Try to Relax' finds the Chicago-born rapper interrogating the anxieties of moderate indie success. His hyper-literate, conversational delivery glides over off-kilter, jazz-inflected production, dissecting structural racism and personal stress with equal wit.
