Summer Knights

Seventeen tracks of humid, jazz-drenched boom bap. A heavy-hearted tribute to a lost friend wrapped in dusty samples and intricate Brooklyn wordplay.

It's the sound of a humid Brooklyn night when you're missing a friend and the bass is the only thing keeping you grounded.

A heavy, humid atmosphere of technical brilliance overshadowed by a deep, lingering sense of loss.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The somber, reflective shift on #LongLiveSteelo where the technical rapping gives way to raw, unfiltered grief for Capital STEEZ.

The aggressive, neck-snapping snare on 95 'til Infinity that perfectly anchors Joey's most relentless flow on the project.

The hazy, psychedelic guitar lick on Amethyst Rockstar that creates a sense of floating above the gritty New York streets.
