Inspired by: Feeling awkward at crowded bars.

My longtime collaborator SVNTY6 (formerly known as FlamesYall) sent me this beat to make a track for his "ORIGiiiNS." I wanted to write a fun, shit talking track. The first verse kind of started out that way, but the second half of the second verse sort of ends up being another #SadBoy song. Basically this is a song about negative experiences from the past turning me into an asshole. ]]> Mixed by: SVNTY6

Inspired by: A depressing Chicago winter.

This was the last song I recorded for the EP. It was initially going to be something I was going to put up on my Soundcloud or something, but it eventually became one of my favorite songs on the project. I had the opening lines in my head for a couple of weeks, and as soon as I heard this beat, I knew the lines fit and wrote the rest of the verse in less than an hour. The second verse was inspired a bunch of my friends/coworkers who got laid off this winter. The first verse is about being stuck in a rut, and the second verse is about the negative consequences of not getting out of said rut. ]]> Mixed by: Emma Gyger

Inspired by: Daydreaming during your shitty food service/retail jobs.

This is one of the oldest songs on the EP. I made this beat when I first got Logic. I was just fucking around, and I found a synthline that reminding me of some fucked up, gritty El-P shit. At the time, I was working in a shitty food service job, and this song is about romanticizing about doing some cooler shit before waking up and having to go back to work. I reached out to Top $ Raz through the FTRSNDMTRX crew. He dug the concept and had a dope verse in my inbox like a week later. He killed his verse. He sounds like Redman on this track, and that's dope as fuck to me.]]> Mixed by: Emma Gyger

Inspired by: Winter 2014, my first Chicago winter.

This is either the first or second song I wrote after moving to Chicago (the other being "Since We Last Spoke"). I had this song forever, and really loved the beat and the verses, but had no idea what to do for the hook. I sang scratch vocals that was kind of Pharrell/NERD influenced, but they didn't really match the vibe of the rest of the song. I had a friend sing those lyrics, but they didn't really work out with the track. Like two years after recording the song, I reached out to fellow HOIST artist Sports Boyfriend (who is amazing, seriously check out her Soundcloud), and she totally saved this song.]]> Mixed by: Emma Gyger

Inspired by: Drinking $9 beers in the Hancock Tower, while thinking about everything I left behind in Ohio.

This song is pretty much the climax of this project. I'm witnessing my full potential in Chicago, but I'm also realizing I still have things from my life in Ohio that are still unresolved.

Another concept I touched on in this song, and during this whole project, is how time works differently for everyone. Nobody's life is going to follow the same path as yours, so trying to follow deadlines set by other people is dumb. I'm 26 years old, and sometimes people two-three years younger than me feel like my older brother. I've lived in Chicago two and a half years, and I get lost all the time. I'm new here. My friend Ski articulated this concept during the spoken word outro of this track much better than I just did here.]]> Mixed by: Emma Gyger

I released the original version of this song (produced by my homie Ryan Stone, who unfortunately I wasn't able to link up with on this project) in October 2014. I decided I wanted to keep the raps but wanted to update the track. I had this great beat from SVNTY6 with a dope Carole King sample, and I asked him I could hop on it. The song touches on three major parts of my life – as a Freshman in high school, as a recent college graduate and when I moved to Chicago.]]> Mixed by: Emma Gyger

Inspired by: Becoming more and more jaded about relationships.

This was a song I really wanted to save for my next project, but I couldn't wait that long to release it. I had the concept of the song for a while, but didn't have the right beat for it until I heard this one. The first verse is about a transparent relationship, the second verse is about things getting a little cloudy and translucent and the third verse is about completely opaque with the person you're in a relationship with. It's a pretty simple concept, but I'm pretty proud of my writing on this one.

Inspired by: All the times I've pissed off girlfriends because I got too drunk at a party.

I wrote this song about all the times I got super drunk at parties and pissed off whoever I was seeing at the time. In the specific event that inspired this song, I was actually the sober one and it was the girl who fucked up. I wanted to do a lighthearted track and wrote this song pretty quickly. This was also the first thing MPYRE and I ever worked on. We were coworkers, and he recently told me he rapped so I shot him this track. We've been working together ever since.

Inspired by: The drunken walk home from the Red Line train.

This was one of the last songs I recorded for this project. It sort of sums up what I hope to convey with this project. It's about being in your mid-20s in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar place, trying figure out who you are and who you want to be.

This came about when he would randomly pop songs on guitar and I'd rap something that I had previously written over it. My song "Stay A Little Longer/smalltown" worked out really well over his cover of Radiohead "Creep" so we decided to record it.
