For his LIVE band single “Conversations," TEF reflects on social challenges he has faced in conversation with his audience through two experiences, one involving profiling, and the other, fatherhood. With a melodic, smooth, and conversational flow, TEF effortlessly blends mature luxury rap with acoustic live instrumentation of guitar, drums, keys, bass, and saxophone.  With lyrics like "on my grown man, businesses I own man, my ID my own brand, Google me you'll understand…” TEF shares his exchange with a police officer on a routine traffic stop. In words from a father, “raise your hands prepare to fight for anything you want in life,” he urges his son to relentlessly pursue his dreams. Combined with the dialogue and saxophonist solo, the full band ensemble invites listeners to immerse in a rare experience. Without question “Conversations” is the definition of grown luxury rap that fills that musical void left by artists like Jay Z and Rick Ross.

This is the introductory EP to my first album Code Switch Vol. I The Prelude.  I waivered back and forth on rather to release this record or not however after talking with my close friends and colleagues from where I'm from it seemed like a missing piece in my story so I decided to release this EP as well as the EP series I've created to compliment my life journey from the streets to peace. Let me know what you think!
