When I arrived in boston in 2015 met my friend and collaborator Ben Brock. A big brother figure of sorts he helped me navigate the start of my journey at Berklee. A classically trained jazz drummer, he watched and listened to my early attempt at being an emcee/rapper with patience and encouragement. He was honest when my flows fell apart and gave me praise when he saw me succeed. Although we only spend the better part of a year around one another he was and continues to be a good friend and an essential part of my evolution. 

The female vocals towards the end were a last minute decision that added an interesting touch provided by an artist named Yael. 

This track first came out on an EP called “Rap Machiavellian. I’ve since taken it down. I wanted to debut the tracks on a larger project to give them a better platform to launch from. 

The theme of this track is catching a vibe with a friend or lover. Despite whatever differences you have the most important thing is what you do have in that moment; each other. It’s short but sweet, as relationships seem to be these days. 

“I ain’t ever lasting, or do I seem to be..?”
