Everything about this project has been so exciting! I can't thank @thr3d_imgboss enough for allowing me space and providing me plenty of comfort in beat selection and quick turnaround. I had a rather large catalog of tracks to choose from, all at my mercy, which allowed me to curate my sound. I only produced one track on here "It's Raining," and also got a track from Malik Grey for "Sleazy" with LL Manny. All the rest are chef's kiss top notch Thr3d sound. Someone said at last night's listening party that "Eminem found Dre."

Debuting "Ring Around the Rosé" with the iconic Ebony Eyez was already a dream alive, then to create these textured styles with some of STL's finest musicians, I'm beyond thrilled and 1000x grateful.

Thank you @suburbanpro for your amazing ear, patience and your friendship. The project sounds amazing!

The last song on "The Terrible Tales of Mother Goose, "Regrets," was a summation of real life events that I could have done differently and ultimately, DECISIONS that have real life CONSEQUENCES.

It was the first song written for the album, represent a full circle moment.

There will be no Cori slander coming from these ways EVER.

I know we're all caught up with our daily lives and often neglect our responsibilies when they don't seem so urgent - so pressing.

Right now is not the time to procrastinate, be willfully ignorant, not research, not pay attention and not be involved.

I've been rocking with Cori since her 1st run because I know that she's concerned with black liberation. Because her spirit and energy are that of a fighter.

Because she can't be bought and the difference between liberation and electoral bondage is a leader who truly gives a fuck. Not just a little, but willing to risk it all for her people.

Tbh, yall got her and us fkd up. Yall tryna play political games when these are people's real lives. Cori knows that if she had an inkling of weird shit going on, STL would sniff it and snuff it and send her about her way.

We don't back just any ole democratic candidate. Frfr we don't even like party politics cuz a lot of yall are counter-productive. We don't do establishment.

We do PEOPLE. What are the people saying? What are the people in need of?

There's a virtual fundraiser for Cori tonight. Last election she was beat out by a whole nother country's money when her opponent accepted AIPAC donations.

This is STL politics. This nigga Wesley 'SnakeSkin' Bell turned it into an auction block. They wanna know if there's a nigga they can buy, and he raised his hand.

Cori is the only candidate I trust. Period. by @bates_stl
