MONTERO

A maximalist pop-rap odyssey that balances chart-topping bravado with intimate reflections on identity, fame, and the search for genuine connection.

Find on Amazon

The record where the internet's favorite troll proves he's actually a pop genius with a lot on his mind.

A high-gloss collision of celebratory bravado and the quiet, lonely ache of self-discovery.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive arrival of the marching band horns on Industry Baby that signals a total victory lap.
The sudden shift into distorted, heavy rock guitars on Life After Salem that breaks the pop polish.
The quiet, acoustic vulnerability of Sun Goes Down where the trap beats vanish for a moment of raw honesty.
