I hate being someone who doesn’t have a plan, but I’ve also begun to pride myself on my growing ability to adjust when things don’t completely go my way with a plan. I’m still learning to do so, but I’m getting better at it, professionally and otherwise. It’s always good to be proactive, but you […]
Read moreSOTBMusic: HS Interviews Speed on the Beat
As with my interview with Drizzle Sez almost two years ago, I decided to turn the mic back on myself for a bit. Sure, I can write about these things. However, there’s a better way than just hearing me play judge, jury, and executioner on what’s said/what’s brought up. I asked True God and Shokus […]

I guess the cat’s out of the bag. In addition to discussing my relationship with my father and how that’s shaped me, Son of the Beast is influenced by the series My Hero Academia.

I woke up one morning not too long ago, and I felt a feeling I hadn’t felt since before Mama Young passed […]

I have a penchant for including my kids in my music, however I’ve never really spoke on them being a motivating force for me to better myself and pull myself out of dark places. Even after including them on albums such as The Sorest Loser, I never really spoke on how they helped me become […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: I’ve Finally Dedicated a Song to My First-Born
If you remember my track history, I’ve never really talked at length about my first-born, Jovanni. It’s not because I don’t love him; he’s my first-born, and I have a love for him that’s not able to be measured. It’s just that he’s always been more of as a narrative device in my music (see: […]
