L.L.Bean

L.L.Bean (Prod. Syl Messi)

It was a cold rainy night in downtown LA.. the spring of 2021, when JD stumbled into a Mick Jenkins session talking shit. After Mick said JD was not a real rapper, JD let out a horrifying cackle and challenged Mick to a dual. With 5 minutes on the clock, JD went in the booth first.... Mick had an extra 4 minutes with JD in the booth, or so the legend says... but the rest... is history.

produced + mixed by M

Desire (feat. Goldchain)

This song is about the complexity of emotion when it comes to intimate relationships. So sit back (with a pair of headphones), relax, and enjoy the acapella sounds of an amateur jazz voice major trying to make music. First of many...xo!

Lyrics:
(cash back, heart attack, I'm glad, I'm mad, cash back, heart attack, yo bad, yo bad)
No I don't do like that
Tell you all my feelings
And I don't do like that
What's the point of healing?

No I won't do like that
Just to get no respect
But I need you like that
My feelings I cannot protect

{Is this feeling so sublime? Like cherry wine, so sublime. I don't mind. Feel like cryin'. This has got to surely be love.}

I'm tryna find it inside of me
Not tryna find an apology
At 18 didn't know 'bout none
Still don't know sh*t, almost 21

I'm trying to find it, I'm trying to find out (repeat)

{Is this feeling so sublime? Like cherry wine, so sublime. I don't mind. Feel like cryin'. This has got to surely be love.}
