I've moved a lotta times in my life, and each move stirred varied feelings. Sometimes relief, sometimes excitement, sadness, jubilation, anticipation, longing--uprooting your whole life and essentially starting a new one tends to make you feel some things! I wrote this song about all those feelings.

Moving Day

The title says it all. It's not really a mournful thing; just a fact of life. We've all been tired. We've all had a long day, come home, and sat down only to feel the full weight of everything we had to do sitting squarely on our backs like a bag full of cement bricks. And we've all felt that way when we had yet another long day ahead of us. This song is that exhale when you sit down.

It Ain't Never Done

The name "Code 8 on 8" comes from the area codes for two places where I learned the most about Blackness and my own personal definition of it: Philadelphia and Atlanta. 215 and 404, the sum of both of which is 8, hence the name. The A-Side is more of an electric jazz funk tune, while the B-Side is straight-up hip hop. Good and bad experiences both, it all helped shape who I am and what I'm about.
