LINER NOTES

Today is my 28th birthday. My 50th album is finally here - the longest gap between projects I ever allowed myself. I started the draft in September 2024, but life decided I needed to learn more patience. This year brought some of the brightest highs and most daunting challenges. A lot has changed, but the essence, intention & mission haven't.

After gaining momentum and success in 2020, life took a turn and I focused on my career as a music educator/performer. I never stopped producing & releasing dope projects, but I felt I needed an album that represented a reintroduction to who I am. This is that album.

Divided into 3 acts, & each one goes deeper than the last. 28 tracks of honed skill, & layered emotion. Cover art is a real pic of me as a child. Mom & I used to move around a lot early on, so I was often isolated in school. I felt this image was fitting in that it shows me drawing a two-colored heart, away from the crowd. That’s one philosophy I want to leave with this album - we have different sides, the crowd may not always understand, but don’t devalue your own color. Your own identity. Don’t let life limit you, you can be as great as you want to be. With that being said, I bring to you, Until Tomorrow!!
