Each track is a canvas painted with raw verses and the soulful backdrop of Boom bap production, sprinkled with the gentle caress of jazz melodies.This mixtape is a testament to the power of music to heal, to reflect, and to celebrate the enduring legacy of those who have touched our lives.

Voicemails

Intro

In the second track of Stohly's deeply personal mixtape, we step into the sacred realm of a voicemail to a dear friend who left this world too soon. Through heartfelt verses, he takes us on a journey through the chapters of life that have unfolded since his friend's untimely departure.

This song is an open letter to the past, a conversation with a soul no longer here, and a heartfelt update on the world his dear friend left behind. As the verses unfold, he reflects on the complexities of his relationship with his mom, the evolving understanding of himself, the highs and lows of his interactions with women, and the shifting dynamics of the people surrounding him.

Each line is a carefully crafted message, a glimpse into the artist's inner world, and a poignant reminder of the profound impact his friend had on his life. The emotions run deep, as Stohly lays bare his thoughts and feelings, sharing the joys, the challenges, and the growth that have marked his path.

Slow Burn

The track unfolds as a profound reflection on life's crossroads. This is a song that delves deep into the artist's journey, exploring the trials and tribulations of pursuing a passion that doesn't always pay the bills.

As the beat drops and Stohly's raw, unfiltered verses take center stage, we are taken on a lyrical journey through the stark reality of grinding through a dead-end job, surrounded by artists who may not share the same level of commitment to their craft as they proclaim.

The hook is a mantra of transformation, a call to detach from the ego and shed the weight of past traumas. It's a reminder that true growth begins when we release the baggage that holds us back, allowing us to step confidently into the future.

One of the standout verses in this track is a subtle nod to the wisdom found in the "48 Laws of Power," specifically Law number 8: "Make them people come to you, use bait." Stohly offers a unique twist on this law, emphasizing the value of authenticity and the idea that success doesn't come from chasing attention but from letting your art and purpose act as a magnetic force, drawing people to you organically.

With every word and every beat, Stohly encourages listeners to ponder their own paths, the choices they make, and the importance of staying true to their passion. This is more than just a song; it's a manifesto for those navigating the complexities of life and art, a testament to resilience, and a call to embrace the journey, no matter how challenging.
