I quit rapping for some time and fell into a deep depression. The pandemic immediately hit at the same time and I thought the world was going to end before I ever got to release music again. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I was as wounded and broken down as I was.

Clocks&Mirrors is more a series of journal entries than it is an album. If you've ever been at a crossroad in life, looking at yourself in the mirror in disgust, that is where I was when I made this album.

As much as the pandemic tore us all apart, I'll never forget the nights sharing screens listening to music, beats, and watching classic movies and wrestling with Wong. Some of my absolute favorite times during a crazy low point in my life. Both of our lives have changed so much since then. I'm forever grateful for that friendship.

Please listen to this album in full and in order the first time. You can hit shuffle later. Don't start movies in the middle.

This may not be what you expected from me, but please understand the role that these particular songs play in my growth as a person and artist over the last 5 years. I made a lot of music during that time and this is just the first project to be released to the world.
