Ultimately, "Do What You Want" is a call to action. Doing what you want no matter what outsiders may think(provided you aren't harming anyone, of course). This mixtape is my legacy immortalized. Crafted out of the love for hip hop.

Thank you for listening and your encouragement through the creative process.

Do What You Want (Prod. by Eric G)

As an atheist, southern, black, introvert, I often feel alone in my thoughts and outlook of the world. For any other atheist that needs a rap song to nod their head to, or for anyone from the outside looking in who doesn't understand my position on religion, I present to you, "A".

"Searchin" is short biography about where I am today and how I got here. Hailing from the K-Town where them boys don't play 'round.

This song was definitely the most fun to make. Editing and rapping. My Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis kept me out of the streets. Shout out to Biggie.

Can you name all the references?

Even though I am an introvert, sometimes I see something special that forces me to break out of my shell. Don't mind my singing.

This was probably my most personal song on the mixtape. Often I feel alone even in crowded places and I want to socialize but can't bring myself to do it sometimes. 

Do you talk because you have something to say or because you have to say something?

Whiplash got it's name from the starting and stopping nature of the instrumental. Definitely one of my personal favorite tracks. It's bumps in the whip and has bars for days.

Whiplash (Prod. by Jahlil Beats)

This is the track that almost wasn't. I was intimidated by the intense instrumental and it's high tempo. I was done with the mixtape then I realized I hadn't used one of my favorite producer's beats. Also discovered that I had some hot unused lines lying around that I had to let the world hear.

Goddamn (Prod. by Just Blaze)

Truth (Prod. by Khrysis)

This alternative track does what I think any good intro should do: show off my skills, introduce myself, and get you listening to the rest of the tape. 


Overly Dramatic Intro (Produced by El-P)

I sometimes indulge in what I call "vehicular therapy" when I'm stressed out with too much on my mind or just bored. I hop in my 97 Civic and cruise around Atlanta with my 12 inch subs banging in the back. It's really relaxing. Enjoy the singing.

Burning Gas (Prod. by Jake One)

Listening to Joe Budden's Rage and The Machine album inspired me to step back in the "booth" and rattle some bars off. I sent a tweet requesting a beat and what appeared in my mentions was Nipsey Hussle's "Picture Me Rollin" instrumental.

It was only long enough for one verse, but that's more than enough for me to talk about one of my favorite activities in Atlanta and then some.

YouTuber ternt rapper in April 2016. Not bad, right? Flows, words, and beats are what I value.
