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.

~ a song about extraterrestrial love ~

ft. @ggpeach

~ chorus ~
i've been trying to find myself all this time
i've been trying to find myself all this time, time
i've been looking, i've been looking
i've been trying to find myself all this time

lets get deep in these cravings
lets get deep

~ verse 1 ~
ecstasy is just so basic
when we're
at the suite of my spaceship
just rest your head on my pillow
and tell me all that you willow

~ post-verse ~
chemistry has got us faded
i just want to taste some gradient
and just
i want that high school patience
that gaia pussy and some nice adventures

now rest your head on my pillow
and tell me all that you willow
and make me

oooze

~ verse 2 ~
life was wondrous fun today, ay
eden's garden steps away, ay

watch as color bends from solar winds

red hot just like she's tanning 
like she spanish
ima thank her mami

she call me papi
it's automatic
while we be tantric
cause i'm a addict

ima let her have it
ima let her have it yo
it's automatic
just like magic

~ chorus ~

~ verse 3 ~
you've been hanging with your girls
flashlights and pillow fights
and you 
can't wake your parents up and oh

so you're having sleepovers, beneath the skies
talking about the boys in school
feeding them all these lies

~ post-verse ~
i swoop down in my spaceship
i just wanna fuck some aliens

and just
i want that high school patience
that gaia pussy and some nice adventures

now rest your head on my pillow
and tell me all that you willow
and make me

~ verse 4 ~
oooze

make me ooze like some creamy pies
reaching these freaky highs
make me snooze
my alarm in the morning

i think i'm falling for you

~ chorus ~

artwork by my babygurl (ain't it fire)

lyrics:

you love how i set the mood
i go from dream into brent into party into you
you take the aux and play aaliyah like
as if i ain't already know you were a keeper, ay
so if i didn't know then, shit, i know now
booked us a BNB in santa cruz & drove down
we almost there shorty
i know it's not fair shorty
but i hope you like it shorty
you know i keep surprises for you
blue crib, cozy room
comfy bed, bowl of fruit
mini fridge, beer inside
locked the door & kilt the blinds
off witcha undergarments, off with mine
it's christen time
not 30 minutes after we dropped our bags, we was sweatin tides
& soon as we collapse after the drippin
it's like it's a race--who could get hungry quicker
isn't it erotic watching all this food slathered in sauce?
had us thinking bout that naan after we gone
then with boba in our paws, we go back to the nest
where's it's a chopped mini marathon interluded with sex
you say something bout the beach
so we get dressed, i grab the towels,
we walk 50 paces from the jeep to reach the shore 
that's all it took
lukewarm spring nite
not cold, just right
hoods over our heads, fog clouding our sights
you find the perfect spot
we lay the shelter down
you climb on top
we half naked now
sand in my chasms, waves drown the gasms
ocean breeze on your butt
jesus christ i'm so in love
wanted to tell you then & there, but i chickened out
i was a lil BIIIIIIIITCH
now with floodgates open,
we make our way back up the street
we laughing doubled over
no one else would understand
fries 'fore we fall asleep
morning sun our alarm
slosh on the shower seat
then pack it up and head home
baby
you feel like i'm finally home
baby
you feel like i'm finally home
