BMI Stage.

Thoughts:  Kinda fun!  According to an article I read, at one point he was dead broke, making beats for other people and living off of what he could make for those beats.  That is kind of wild.  But there is very little written about this dude online - no Wikipedia, and other than that one short interview, not much else out here.  Seems weird.  I think he is from the San Diego area though.

Biggest track is "Through Tha Night," with 2.5 million streams.  A 2020 single.

That initial beat makes me think of Mac Miller, and the whole tune makes me think of those bopping Anderson.Paak tracks.  Sorta unmemorable, but if you just immerse yourself in there as you listen, it is fun to bop with.  "Chicano Poetry" is his most recent single - 43k streams for now.

More like a Kanye/Common vibe in this one.  Smooth as hell for that first verse.  I'd honestly prefer the sound of the rap chunk over the singing in the chorus.  This is pretty solid stuff - I've just let it play for hours and been enjoying the vibe.
