***PRE ORDER*** Shipping approximately three weeks from your order date!
I'm taking pre-orders on all physical products now. All vinyl is made to order so I have to collect orders for a couple weeks, and order that amount, so order will take a few weeks at minimum. There are vinyl and CD options for 8 of my releases available on this page.
NOTE ABOUT ALL VINYL:
All vinyl is manufactured by Kunaki.com, and is made to order, so I never have excess stock. If you want information on the quality, pressing process, etc..., please visit Kunaki.Com.
These vinyl pieces are something I do as collector's items for people who want to support and have a piece of my music history in their collection. It's definitely not for audiophiles. Listening to the digital will give you an idea of how it sounds.

All CD are manufactured by Kunaki.Com. Here's a note about their CDs from their site:
Does Kunaki replicate (press) or duplicate discs?
Kunaki duplicates discs. Duplication has made major strides over the last few years. Today mediocre duplication is superior to bad replication. And superior duplication is better than mediocre replication. Lastly, superior duplication is every bit as good as the best replication.

I was determined to write to this beat, but couldn't figure out how to approach it for a while, so I wound up listening to a lot of music with artists whose styles I appreciate, and those are most of the artists I shout out in the beginning of the song, though some of those I didn't actually listen to, but after I recorded the verse and listened back, something about my flow reminded of those artists.
This concept is similar to "The Ledger" but it's more focused on gratuitous braggadocio, as well as in some cases, the illusion of it. The point being, sometimes when we feel the weight of the world, rather than be transparent about how we feel, we put up a barrier of false-confidence as defense mechanism.
I guess the most important lyric here, in terms of defining the song is this, part, "Don’t have to write like it’s just the bliss it feels immaculate
That’s half the why, the other part’s the study of the art
See if the rules apply...". The first part speaks directly what I just mentioned about the gratuitous nature of the writing, but the "other part" is about one of my goals with this music.
I have a few decades of experience of teaching about Hip Hop, and though I've stopped for some years, I intend to get back to it eventually. I've been working on developing various writing workshops, that have different exercises, so I use my songs as a "study of the art
See if the rules apply", basically making sure that the ideas I present actually can be applied.
lyrics
So close your eyes, prepare your inner-mind for a surprise
And that applies, to long time listeners and passerby’s, who ask to try
Just a taste of flavor so I gave em just enough to pacify
Don’t ask me why? If I deny, don’t ask me twice
First class advice, last person to not heed it, had to cash the price
This clash with mice, hoping that they signed up for a sacrifice
I serve em right, then taunt them in the afterlife
Don’t have to write like this, it’s just the bliss feels immaculate
That’s half the why, the other part’s the study of the art
See if the rules apply, the tools rely on open minds
They’re hard to find, but still I keep my sights on the prize
I surmise. I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
The Passion of the vice
Wrong or right, I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
Wrong or right, I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
Wrong or right, I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
Wrong or right, I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
