Complete AWOL

My Favorite Raps by Me

It's my constant condition. 🤷‍♀️

Going AWOL

Playing around on Reddit's r/makinghiphop Freestyle Friday thread for 05/12/2023: https://www.reddit.com/r/makinghiphop/comments/13fkiql/comment/jjx22np/

Beat: "All In" by 3rd Robot (https://soundcloud.com/3rdrobot/all-in)

"22 Two's" is one of my favorite Jay-Z songs and "44 Four's" is no less incredible.  I love super in-depth wordplay like this, so I wanted to put my own spin on it.  

Here's my take on "44 Four's" (count 'em!) which I took a step further by doing 44 bars (of 4 beats each, of course) and making the track exactly 2:22:2 long.

Hit me up, Roc Nation.

I've posted a bit on social media that it's been a couple of rough weeks worth of sleep for me and I already have bad insomnia.  Shout out to all my late night/early morning warriors out there.  I feel you. ❤️

Hooking up with my boy JesTer again for another Reddit Freestyle Friday track on 23-06-16.

AWOL and raystanz capture the struggle of maintaining a healthy work-life balance in the modern world; a reflection of the overwhelming reality of many of us who work long hours and sacrifice their personal time with family and friends for their career.

I've been told so many times that my raps are "robotic" that I decided to stop trying to fight it and finally just lean into it.

A song about all the travel I do for work and how much I miss my family when I do so.  It literally feels like I'm never coming back sometimes...
