Newest and latest single: "Cigarettes". Listen for yourself and you'll see why!

Who are some of the collaborators who helped you create your favorite works?

Man, I got a great team around me.

Trackz and Quasi have been producing the hell out of all the new records we've got. Adam (AP), my high school homie, is actually THE best engineer! He reads my mind, we're on the same page, and he got me sounding right!

Videographer Iz Munoz–the wizard behind the curtain. The content he's been making is so so dope! Please go show him some love!

What are you most excited to bring to your fans next?

More dope visuals and a music video for 'Cigarettes' coming soon!

Release a new single every 2 months. "Cigarettes' came out March 13th, so stay tuned for mid-May!

How can your fans and our readers best support you right now?

Mannnn, stream the song (I promise you'll love it). And when you do, add it to your playlist and share it with a friend. Really excited with the sound we've been cooking up, follow me on IG to see what's next! I'm also decently funny....I think....
