Welcome to the 212 (Part 1) is a late-night walk through New York City — where jazz drifts out of doorways, stories cross at intersections, and every song feels like a conversation overheard at the right moment.

This album blends city jazz, smoky ballads, and quiet reflections, capturing love, doubt, desire, and the small revelations that happen between dusk and dawn.

Part 1 is an introduction — a first step into the rhythm, romance, and vulnerability of the 212.

For The Time Being

So Much More To Say While I Still Can is a raw, unflinching body of work written in response to a world unraveling in real time.

These songs confront violence, political overreach, systemic failure, and the human cost of silence — not as headlines, but as lived experience. This album doesn’t offer easy answers or polished comfort. It speaks because staying quiet is no longer an option.

Blending R&B rap, spoken truth, and urgent storytelling, this project stands as witness, resistance, and record — created while the words still matter, while the voice is still free, and while the truth still demands to be heard.
