Make Em' Believe

Nineteen tracks of high-stakes Baton Rouge street rap. Melodic hooks meet a gravelly, unfiltered delivery that feels like a late-night confession.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a man rapping like his life depends on you believing every word.

A relentless, confrontational energy tempered by moments of exhausted, late-night tenderness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from a jagged rap verse into a surprisingly soulful, melodic hook on track 7
The raw, unpolished vocal strain in the bridge of track 13 that reveals the artist's desperation
The way the heavy 808s drop out suddenly during track 18 to highlight a particularly confessional lyric
