Yeah so I actually was home and I got the urge to make some music. I literally made the instrumental and wrote my verse in a span of 2 hours. When inspiration hits you, you gotta take advantage of it. So I recorded my verse and sent it to Eric C. And a few days passed and I had his verse done. It was as easy as that.
Within Profound Artist’s and Eric C.’s verses, you both deliver pristine flow and layered bars. Could you elaborate on the meaning you wanted to deliver with “Dripping Sand (feat.

And again I usually just write what I am thinking or feeling at the moment so the words flow very easily
What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? More music. I might be dropping an album this year. I'm halfway done with the recording process. Some tracks that you guys have heard such as Lose My Mind and Pressure are on going to be on the album and some others I'm keeping them in the vault until the album drops. So stay tuned for that. I'm also going to be producing a lot of tracks for several artists that I regularly work with. So also stay tuned for that.
