Setbacks

A hazy, introspective debut that balances gritty street realism with psychedelic, weed-smoke production. The sound of a man fighting his own distractions.

It's like a midnight therapy session held in a smoke-filled Chevy.

A hazy, self-reflective journey through the distractions and dangers of South Central life.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, repetitive bassline on Druggys Wit Hoes that creates a dizzying sense of intoxication.
The transition into the soulful, jazz-inflected hook of LigHt Years AHead that lifts the album out of the gutter.
The raw, unfiltered honesty in the second verse of Cycle where the rhythm feels like a ticking clock.
