MUCUS is my first musical project under my rap persona S.H.Y. MUCUS has been in development since the beginning of my senior year of high school and has come to completion as of May 27th 2020.  MUCUS can be generally categorized as a hip-hop rap album, but more specifically under the category of grief rap. The subject matter of the 10 track project deals with my perception of the high school experience and my experience with substance abuse that was so closely related to it. MUCUS takes large productional inspiration from rap albums such as Freddie Gibbs Bandana or MF Doom’s Operation Doomsday. Most of the beats rely on funky edited and enhanced soul samples on a constant loop, smothered with bar after bar about my personal high school experience. The tracks are organized and split with jarring tv static to almost create episodes that allow the listener to experience the wide range of emotional turmoil I experienced. Through the use of this subject matter, I am attempting to provide solace for those who can relate and identify with my experiences. MUCUS also served as a form of therapy for me in dealing with the trials and tribulations of my high school experience. A lot of the lyrical content was written while I spent time inside of the Chicago Children’s Center for Behavioral Health after being admitted for self-harm and a suicide attempt. MUCUS attempts to organize the chaos of my emotions during this time and make it palatable enough to understand and relate to upon listening.
