The idea of protector, the album, to me, is sort of about. Caring and love. So the message is that everyone is a protector, and should strive to be, and to protect the people they care about and be protected in turn...
I think we all assembled by sheer proximity, the sheer desire to partake in a lot of substances, needing one core activity to tie us all together...
things often kinda vaguely float in my head still, so it's hard to promise anything...
BIG UP MENACE X stands for "beautifully uplifting minds unknowingly" So that is a necessary measure I tend to take every second uplifting thyself to reflect with the select few who get it
I figured it would look really cool since it was mixing something deadly as an RPG-7 with something cute like our puppies...
This was one of Lil Tjay's first performances following his recovery from being shot seven times in an attempted robbery & his live show didn't disappoint...
Ugly Mane is a catch-all for whatever creative drainage leaks out of me. I think it's a dumb name that makes most people immediately write me off and not investigate what I do purely based on the preconception of how dumb the name is. I like that...
It does now. I meditate every day just to not feel insane. The practice leaks into everything I do. With writing or recording, I do let thoughts take me for a ride...
“Would You Trade Your Hands For Wings?” That’s really the question isn’t it, would you?

The intro to the set was one of my favorites I've ever seen and it is going to stick with me for months I am sure.
The role that labels used to play pre-internet adoption had much more to do with building up an artist, and getting them to where they need to be to become superstars. Today, the artist builds themselves up on their own...
The stage background was a sight to behold, being an American flag with the stripes changed with rainbow colors representing the pride flag. Where the stars would be, they were replaced with the numbers 666 and a ring of weed leaves...
Throughout the album, different subjects are tackled such as the spirit of competition, industrialization, the destruction of our ecosystems etc...
夢の砂漠 explores a lot of feelings I’ve been having over the past year - mostly a lot of self-exploration and I wanted to convey this a long and ethereal album so that other people can travel through the ‘dream desert’ and explore all of these intense feelings themselves...
