Produced by @MLCBR with additional keys by TAME; Honestly is a melting pot of creative input. The artwork provided by visual artist Emily Whitamore (@lil_escher) connects to the track as @B_L_A_C_K_I_E & TAME become the beam of guidance through MLCBR's soundscape. Not one to leave a track untouched, TAME applies layers while warping the calling of the track; taking you to a sense of elevation when it is all over. Oh shit, did we just create meditative trap/grime?

Andrew Davis (born April 27, 1989) commonly known as TAME, The Aspiring Me, and son of Houston hip-hop legend Big Mello, is an American rapper, music producer, and interdisciplinary artist from the suburb of Missouri City. Making his producer beginnings in 1998, by using cripple ware computer programs such as Cool Edit and Acid, Davis would download songs he heard on radio and loop segments of the songs to create music his friends and he could rap to for fun.

He rose to prominence in Texas after New York City based media outlet Complex Magazine listed his debut album “The Aspiring Me” top ten music projects to come out of Houston in 2013. This led to a two year stay in New York City from 2013- 2015, where he managed working at Whole Foods as a supervisor and a bi-monthly residency in Brooklyn New York entitled “Show & Tell NYC” dedicated to sharing and the art of story telling. During his stay Davis was apart and under management of Brooklyn based collective, Vapor Trails. Following the disbandment of the collective Davis returned to Houston to continue his practice.

2017 marked his debut as a conceptual performance artist: exhibiting at the Houston Museum Of African American culture; later, in March 2018 at the interactive, film and music festival SXSW as well as Houston arts organization Diverse Works. He is an 2019 SACI, 2020 Idea Fund & 2021 City’s Initiative grant awardee.
