My Influences / Fav Artists

I strive to reach the lyrical genius of Eminem & Sage Francis, with punchlines as sick as Wax, King Los, Locksmith, Flawless Real Talk while maintaining a very unique style. So far so good. Off the wall like Kendrick and Chance the Rapper, and dark like Cage.

My Music Sounds Like

Trippy, outer space, enveloping, atmospheric, melodic, bass-heavy, dark, raw, West Coast, music, with a hint of classical, tailor made for acid trips...

In My Other Life I ...

Make sure to embrace the music as much as I do in this one...
