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...

I love going into sets, not knowing what to expect, and being positively impressed by a performing artist. Smino is absolutely someone I would see again...

I figured it would look really cool since it was mixing something deadly as an RPG-7 with something cute like our puppies...

The sound selection in some of the instrumentals were really unique and haven’t heard anything like it in some of the previous projects like space requiem, spiral, and four walls. shellboy has some new style melodies/flows on this project that i haven’t heard them use before like on no evil and guardian angel...

I would still argue that there is something deeply troubling about the “McMindfulness” that people are becoming more aware of - that is, mindfulness used in the service of improving productivity, well-being or focus...
