2014 Forest Hills Drive

Warm soul samples and dusty boom-bap beats anchor a vulnerable coming-of-age narrative. An intimate, feature-free meditation on home, fame, and self-worth.

The one where he went platinum with no features by just being incredibly honest about his life.

A deeply grounded and nostalgic reflection on home that balances youthful bravado with adult wisdom.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the jazzy piano of the Intro into the confident, boom-bap thump of January 28th.

The way the beat drops out on Love Yourz to emphasize the line about there being no such thing as a life that's better than yours.

The frantic, high-energy percussion shift in G.O.M.D. that mirrors a sudden rush of adrenaline.
