Velvet

A hazy, lo-fi descent into late-night introspection. Submerged production and raspy, vulnerable vocals define this early, atmospheric bedroom hip-hop project.

It's the ultimate 'sitting in your car at 3am' album for when you're deep in your feelings.

A heavy, nocturnal introspection that feels like being wrapped in a dark, warm blanket while the world outside is cold.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the beat on Velvet feels like it's submerged in water, creating a claustrophobic yet comforting cocoon.

The transition into the melodic hook of Princess Jasmine where the rasp in the vocals softens into a vulnerable plea.

The extended, drifting outro of High Def that allows the synth pads to wash over the listener for over five minutes.
