Looking back on every layer of foundation that has thrilled and guided me through this time. I’ve had the privilege of living in different places and being loved by those I was told would want nothing to do with me. Beyond blessed to know I’ve never been alone even in my deepest feelings of loneliness.
I didn’t have to ask for this, it came with the service 😂🥰

I have to say
I was moved by my guest

Eli Odinga
Who read us his beautiful work
& played us his inspired music
& spoke so eloquently
About his life
& his voyage
Where he’s been
Where he IS

Once again
Why i was motivated
To do the show…
So I could learn from
Other humans
Artists
Thinkers
Poets
Musicians
How to go about this thing
This perplexing & mad ride
Called Life
Right when I think
I need
Once again
To get off
That I can’t do it
God
The one that doesn’t exist
Puts another
Wise soul in my path
To share their experience
So I don’t have to feel
So alone…
Y’know wat im sayin!?
Look 👀
I know you might be busy
So let’s just say
& I don’t wanna say it
Let’s just say
You missed the show
Well you’re in luck
The show exists
Amongst the millions -
The numerous shells 🐚
& polished stones
Washed up on the shores
Of the internet 🛜
In perpetuity

When you’ve been a father long as I have (6 months) you start to look back. All of the difficult and beautiful moments blend together to create something special. I’m grateful for every moment, every friend and chosen family member. Each time I’ve lost someone and learned they are so much closer than I could ever realize. Every single day I pray for strength and patience, and I’m reminded of the words of a great man: “Do them dirty in front of they squad”

HEY!

So I’m releasing my Fourth Musical Installment called: SEVEN DAYS.

This idea started years ago! I was 15, in a hospital bed in Guatemala and still had the idea that this would be a great album cover one day and here we are.

So naive lol

I tried my best to tap back into that mind state for SEVEN straight days and we made this.

I know the world is super fucked up, but this is my attempt at showing up and doing what I love.

None of this would be possible without the amazing @imdaniel.mp3 who not only produced but executive produced the record. Thank you @royrollin for mixing and engineering and thank you so much to @raffypeyre and @xaya.studios for mastering the entire project.

Have some amazing features and vocals on here from the likes of @sophiagalate @okayleota @morgannaray @gennessyxo @brandon.mykel @the.joshmarks @lyrixvision
And @sango_ for blessing me with production on a song!

The visuals! sheesh so excited for those! All made possible by my great friend @maximilianoxromero

And huge shoutout to @roguestoppard for taking my initial cover art ideas and turning them into something so much more!

AUGUST 12, 2025 is the date and presale is live now!
