Are there any specific elements to your music that were inspired by your local music scene in Philly?

ou mentioned multiple times that Suedo changed around your song structure while mixing, how much do you think that took away from the original vision (if at all) and has it changed how you've decided to structure projects you've worked on or created since?

I notice your purpose in songwriting seems to be largely focused on capturing your specific feelings at a given moment, is there something that inspired you to take that approach to music or is that your natural form of lyricism?

You mentioned the vibe behind collaborating artists in all of the commentaries of feature songs, do you ever find the other artists in the studio influencing how you decide to deliver your lyrics (or the lyrics themselves) and if so, where do you think that influence showed the most?

Have you ever considered trying to expand from your current genre? What would be holding you back?

The channel flip for the fx is perfect, I love how the sounds go between ears and again- iconic bass!

True to its name, "CHOPPD" is a two-part sonic journey through the mind of Dot Cromwell. On the hard-hitting anthem produced by Swanky, Zane Durham, & JAYSON TODD, Cromwell plays a balancing act between pure bravado & deep-cutting introspection.

True to his independent roots, Cromwell continues to be a voice and ally for a generation of DIY artists, with lyrics like "I gotta do it if I want it right, all-nighters for a hundred nights" & "They want the credit but ain't do the work, leaders were soldiers don't ever forget it"!

At the song's halfway mark, the tone, feel, and sonics veer off to a more vulnerable direction channeling Cromwell's ability to pull beautiful lyrics from challenging places. Cromwell opens this stream of consciousness with "Overthinking did I really change, say she love me is it really game, had to cut some people out the frame, big picture they just wanted fame. From here, listeners follow Cromwell down a rabbit hole unpacking; topics such as police brutality, self-hate, community-based violence, and the systematic destruction of today's black family unit.
