We are in a time of immense change. 
It is time to embrace New Beginnings.

New Beginnings (feat. Eunnuri Lee)

My name is Sam Sass. Originally from New York City, I moved out to Southern California in 2012 with dreams of being an actor and hip-hop artist. However in 2013, while attending the California Institute of the Arts, my dreams and focus began to shift. It was during this time that I began to dive deep into my research of self with the help of psychedelic medicines such as LSD, Psilocybin mushrooms, and DMT. It was also during this time that I began to attend underground desert parties, leading me to find the flowarts/fire-spinning community as well as the greater west coast festival scene. Simultaneously, mainstream hip-hop music was turning into beat focused mumble rap promoting all the things that my psychedelic journeys were turning me further and further away from. So I put down the mic and picked up my props. I spent the last six years diving deep into flowarts, performing at countless festivals every season. About a year and a half ago, laying in bed, I felt the urge to write a verse. So I did.

My mission is promote and be a part of a resurgence of lyrical focused hip-hop that is there to do what hip-hop was created for in the first place: to spread the word of an unheard and marginalized group of people. We are entering into a new beginning, a time of uprising and rebuilding. Now is the time we stop listening to the haters and start following our hearts. 

I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.

Love and Light.

-Sass
