'Millennial Sound' Album Out Now: https://fanlink.to/millennialsound
This album is a soundtrack for my generation. These songs are about how it feels to come of age in unprecedented times.
When I started defining the title, I kept asking: "what does my generation sound like? What can it sound like?" Lyrically, I sought to unpack and and challenge the way that so-called "Millennials" are perceived. This quickly became a theme in my process. I wanted to reflect the anger, the playfulness, the confusion, the ambivalence, the cannabis culture, the politics, the activism, the environment... the realities we face together as young people.
I have felt for some time that there would soon be a new emergence of rap with deeply meaningful lyricism. Right now I see young people standing together in movements around the world for important causes, and making this album involved imagining what kind of music would reflect this collective action. As a producer and rapper who loves hip-hop and appreciates its history, I am motivated to respond to the call for meaningful content. I am thankful and fortunate to have some amazingly talented people in my life, many of whom appear as collaborators on this very project.
