Following the release of his debut EP, Coldest Winter, Matthew Vaughn teams up with engineer Yogi Split once again for a far more lively body of work. With more acoustic production from AlumCreekSurfTeam, his production credits are now shared with fellow Columbus native super producer KMB. He also incorporates features on two tracks from artists Tripp Fontane of collective Underdog Academy and Keisha Soleil, the healer, the writer, the singer.
Local artist Ari J on cover art and tracklist art.

ITKOS tells a story of new life. Coming from "cold" and hard times and springing back from the dead. Through love of self, romantic love, and love to others in general. Are you ready for the summer? ;)

We tend to look for greatness in others rather than ourselves. Go inside and get your sound.
-Carlos Santana youtu.be/dnaEs7yPXW8

Our deepest fear is not that we are weak. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-Nelson Mandela

After watching Choklate perform 'Bigger Than You' in Seattle, 7 gentlemen approached me in the parking lot. One looked at another and said, "It's her." The other nodded, and he was introduced as J Dilla. As it became apparent I was not aware of his vast accomplishments, he smiled and said, 
"It's nice someone doesn't know me."
I think about that statement every day.

Every con artist will inevitably cross paths with someone better than themselves, which is why, the only way to win with people who like to play games, is to not play.
