Fresh from producing for rap legend Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) on his long-awaited Negus project, Steven Julien continues to pay homage to his hip-hop roots for the next offering on Apron Records. Few people know that Julien's musical journey began as an MC in rap group The Dungeonaires during his early teens before production eventually became his main interest.

______ is a collaboration with Long Beach local and The Natives rapper, Senay Kenfe — a musician, photo-journalist and local community organiser who has spent over 15 years working on grassroots, cultural projects including documenting the graffiti scenes of Brazil and Egypt to leading clean water filtration schemes in Ethiopia.

The pair first linked up during back-and-forth hang-outs between London and LA. The seed of the alliance was sown when Senay heard the instrumental for "Osiris" on an episode of The Apron Show on NTS Radio and reached out to write to it.

Lyrics:
All that I know I was born in the snow 
And I never was told to grow up
All that I hear are the birds and the sear 
Of my skin and I feel that I'm burning up
Where do I go?
Where do I go?
Well I knew that my time was up I could no longer hear the sound 
When the bus it mowed me down 
All the way from oz
Remember when I met you?
 I was the only one around 
Remember what I said to you?
 I told you you were beautiful 
Where do I go?
Where do I go?
Where do I go?
Where do I go?
