Waves (Prod. Nima Skeemz)

I pretty much like any music whatsoever... 

An emcee is more than an entertainer, more than an orator, more than a poet. Training in philosophy has allowed me to dissolve borders between ideas and let my mind wander freely. I rap because, like my mind, verbal expression has no boundaries. My songs and their lyrics are the most accurate expression of my mental states and processes. I write with no clear goal or direction, for to do so is to narrow my scope. I can only open my mind and show you what’s inside. That is how I let you know that I’m real.
