Thoughts
It’s July 1st and Not Checkers is Here!
Happy Birthday Mom! I Love You.
It’s been a tough few weeks. Months, actually. Years? Yeah, that too.
Anywho, I’m currently in New Jersey, away from the studio for… reasons, but I still managed to get the project up and available for download, for those who pre-ordered or purchase for those who didn’t. Even though I might be a little biased, I think this EP is pretty dope and if you like/love “Boom-Bap” adjacent Hip-Hop, you might think so as well.
If you’re familiar with any of my previous works, this isn’t that. This is a much more personal journey. At least if you follow the threads, but you don’t need to pay attention to the threads or layers to enjoy it, as it’s just a sonically enjoyable EP, if I may say so myself. Bobby Fischer really did his thing on the beats and the artists that joined me on this journey, really and truly came through and added in a way that turned out to be far more than I could have hoped for, when asking them to be a part of it.
BIG thanks to everyone involved and those who have supported me along the way, including my mother Carolyn(Happy Birthday!), my wife Jade, my mother-in-law Dianne, my kids — Tamar, Lennox and Rianna, my crew GRYSKLL — especially Dragon’s Pitchfork for the push/encouragement to get this thing done and Bobby Fischerfor supplying the soundscape and helping me see the vision through and Zo the Instrument Being for the HUGE vote of confidence. You all made this possible.
I love you all!
