RAMZA - DOWNPLAYED 003 by RAMZA

The last few years have been exceptional in terms of challenge and personal growth. I had never considered myself an artist and clung so very close to the entrepreneur identity. After leaving my most recent startup in July of 2021, I have decided to fully embrace a new persona, as a music producer and DJ, continuing to learn the industry, helping start a label, and planning the next phase of my life. The past year had also been hard. Love, friendships, and business evolved with time, life, and circumstance. At the time, I experienced it as depression, weakness, and feeling lost and ungrounded. But today, I can look back at those experiences with an appreciation for the lessons they taught, no matter how bitter the pill was. I've been sitting on this mix for almost 5 months, never feeling that it was finished. It's heavy, melancholic, and beautiful. And I finally feel good again, excited about the next steps and my next projects. I finally feel ready to release and move forward. I hope you all enjoy.
