Professional Rapper

High-speed technical rap meets neurotically honest comedy. Polished pop-rap production backing hyper-relatable stories about the mundane and the awkward.

July 31, 2015 · Virgin

A high-energy, neurotic, and hilarious exploration of modern identity and the absurdity of the rap industry.

Moments Worth Listening For

The ten-minute conversational odyssey of Pillow Talking where the beat shifts to mimic the internal logic of a post-coital argument.

The meta-narrative job interview in the title track where Snoop Dogg plays the skeptical corporate gatekeeper of hip-hop.

The rapid-fire technical display on Bruh... that proves the artist's lyrical dexterity matches his comedic timing.
