Regarding his fellow Hip Hop practitioners, he shares, “These artists are a blessing to me. The communication and networking among everyone is what played a huge role in getting this record done. My engineer Zero crafted a clean sound that’s levels above everything I’ve ever put out. The production was honestly already there, it was just all about timing. I got Covid and a dislocated shoulder through it all. I’m super proud of this LP.” Check out the supreme heat on this sizzling platter from this audio artisan now available on vinyl on Cocareef Records.
