Chased by Godzilla

Waiting for the bus
I’m in Culver City, technically considered the Palms because of the specific side of the street that I’m sitting on. I’m waiting for the bus when some random photographer decided to take a picture of me. I asked him to send me the picture, he said ok. Venice Blvd & Motor Ave.

I’m excited to announce that my newest single will be released on Oct 20, 2020! Space and Time – AfroFuturism.

The Story of a People
Jazz is the story of a people, a people struggling to fight oppression. The oppression of racism, the oppression of injustice, the oppression of brutality and more.

Time Array
Time is an array of confusion for which there is no beginning and no ending, only seconds ticking in between. In these seconds that we have on this earth, what we do matters.
