You on the other side 
Of my head
I seem to remember you 
I guess
And I wrote a song 
I played it all for you 
Straight from here
And it was a melody 
Guided you back to me 
Was that planned?
I guess I’m still not over it 
Yea it’s bad 
And I guess
You still hold puppet strings to my head
Yeah I guess I’m still not over it 
I don’t care
And I guess 
My puppeteer man 
I want you bad
Found a new place 
out in la vie
Didn’t do much of what they say
Just more head ache and heart ache 
And an empty bed
But you could come over 
And string me along again 
Cause I guess
I’m still not over it 
Yeah it’s bad 
And I guess you still hold puppet strings to my head
And I guess I’m still not over it 
I don’t care 
And I guess my puppeteer man 
I want you bad…

Afterglow Soft Soul (MBV8)

<3 go to sleep

She wears daisy dukes 
In the middle of December 
And sweaters in the rain
Back to what’s remembered 
Now it’s all 
Estranged  
Now we know nothing 
He likes 
Only when its snows
Now it’s been so cold
Hey yeah 
Your summer time cold 
And winter time cool
Hey yeah 
Your summer time cold 
And winter time cool

Description -

This album means a lot to me. First full length solo instrumental/beat album. Damn. It's been in the making officially for 7 months, unofficially since I was 16.

I don't like to write sappy things but if Take Care-era Drake taught me anything, it's worth giving an album a backstory and thanking those who helped you make it.

I officially started this project in the summer before my senior year in college. A lot of shit was happening. The album is a culmination of how I felt at the time, or how I've felt for a while. I wanted to make an intimate album. I hope the tone and visual aesthetics of the project convey some of the raw emotion that went into making it. [..] There are no standards I have to live up to except for the ones that I create for myself.

For now, it's just me. And what I've felt these past few months: the fear of not getting a job, the guilt I feel for basically failing my parents after they paid for my education, the want to let go and just pursue music instead of getting a legitimate job in anything not music related. The fear of dying alone. The loneliness of not being loved by someone. The want to be liked by people.

And of course other things inspired this album: anime (Akame ga Kill, Deadman Wonderland, W Dimension), Japan, lofi hip hop (bsd.u, swum, lord apex), nujabes, knxwledge, J Dilla, Flying Lotus, Dev Hynes, The Life of Pablo by Kanye West, Rodeo by Travis Scott, 90's/2000's R&B (Joe, Donnell Jones, Floetry, Goapele), Motown (Brass Construction, The Manhattans), jazz (Robert Glasper, John Coltrane, Ramsey Lewis, Pharaoh Sanders), Janet Jackson, Ten City, Jodeci, Yuji Ohno, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jean Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, Suehiro Maruo, and hundreds of other things that have filtered their way into my music one way or the other. The album cover is a drawing by Suehiro Maruo that I edited, and thought it reflected the album nicely.

I don't know what the overall mood of the project is. [..] I want people to listen to it when they are happy, sad, in love, nostalgic, partying, skating, or anything in between. Music affects all of us differently and that's what I love about it. [..] This album was made to reflect how I feel. How I've felt since I broke up with my ex 4 years ago - alone. But also to connect to anyone who has ever felt alone too.

But I can't front. My family is incredibly supportive. The pressure of getting a real job sucks, but they love my music. My friends are also very supportive. And the fans I have are amazing. Slowly but surely, I'll affect everyone. I want to become the best.

I made the entirety of this album in my dorm room in college. I produced it, mixed it, created the visuals for my live shows, edited the artwork, sent it out to press etc. etc. Don't limit yourself. Pursue your passion, and learn everything you can about it. Don't wait for inspiration, search for it constantly. And to anyone feeling alone — just know that you're not. "Everybody is something to somebody" and if not, you're somebody to me.

Thank you to everyone who supports me and helped make this album, especially Tim Cross, Hassan El Hobo, Justah Phase, and Burger for providing dope verses. Shout out to bsd.u for including me in the first lofi.hiphop forum compilation, and finally, thank you if you're reading this letter. I hope you like it.

Sometimes I can fall 
Sometimes I stand tall 
Regardless of it all 
This is who I am 
Stronger than I was 
Better? Yes I can 
Through and through 
It all I know who am 
And if I raise my hands 
Right above my head 
I feel it in my soul 
I am not alone 
You aren’t just a friend 
You're family as whole 
Say just what you want 
We need love
So if you get down 
You know who to call 
If you need some legs 
To help you travel on 
And if you didn’t know 
Exactly what you need 
I need you and you need me 
And if I raise my hands right above my head ]
I feel it in my soul 
I am not alone 
You aren’t just a friend
You're family as whole 
Say just what you want 
We Need Love
