    I don't usually do the full length beat at the end but this one had so much going on I had to! Make sure to stick around for the crazy synth at the very end! Project files going up soon this thing is huge! Got a lot of stuff to bounce lol.

Some people just have a very narrow vision of hip-hop/rap and they'll stay entitled to that vision no matter what.

    MBDTF is the most beautiful album of all time. The album is full of powerful music like this from start to finish. This album seriously has had the biggest impact on my life by far than any kind of art. This album is literally the soundtrack of my life. These sounds and chords and notes are always in my head and I’m always humming them or making reference to them. For example the lead synth at 4:03 is my favorite part and I am always singing that part in the shower lol
