about

When I originally started this album I wanted to make a sci-fi movie-like kind of concept album. One day a few years ago I was at my son's baseball game and I looked over at the playground and noticed no kids were playing. They were just sitting on the swings staring endlessly at their phones and it bothered me. I don't know why it stuck out so much, but it bothered me and it wasn't just there. It was everywhere. I realized that this world has changed so much due to the advancements in technology and I wanted to put these thoughts into my songs. With guest raps from two of my favorite emcee's Alaska (def jux) and Pastense (backwoodz) as well as my crew member Trizzy Traphik who also handled a bulk of the mixing and recording for the album, this album is a sonic masterpiece. The beats were meticulously selected from some of my favorite producers such as BronzeBabyShoes (blake9), the late, great Paten Locke (r.i.p.) and my in house production team members, DJ Frisby & Noganomicon. The album's artwork was created by my incredibly talented friend Zeb Romano (ZR ART) from Albany, New York who really helped put a visual to the sounds of this album. C.d. & Vinyl copies are available now! Enjoy!
