Dedicated to the youth and anyone fighting against the tyranny of injustice. Produced and mixed by Sonny Brasco and mastered by Soy Sos, Uprising is a hybrid of thought-provoking spoken word with a social justice theme, and bass heavy, smackin, head noddin' "mob music" with a touch of ethereal. Turn it up and bump this as you continue to RISE!

“The Consequence of Absence (The Letter),” a cautionary tale for parents who are not physically, mentally, emotionally or socially present for their children is a deeply personal poem that provides the opportunity for relatability, dialogue and healing for children wounded by their parents’ absence, while simultaneously providing a compassionate voice for absent parents to understand from the perspective of their children (young and adults). This  bouncy track is a sonic fusion of Hip Hop “boom bap” drums, ambient organs, and keys reminiscent of local rap music of my childhood in the Bay grounded with a Pittsburgh sound.  Somethin to ride to (cuz it's bumpin), nod your head, and reflect...at the same damn time.
