Music Journalist Kurt Orzech came across “People Too” on Bandcamp and reached out for an interview for his On Tyranny series which focuses on musicians and their stance against fascism. We discuss the song and activism through art. thebadpennyblog.com/2026/04/05/o...

@hiphoptino.bsky.social gets cold emails semi-regularly about collaborating on tracks. Generally, they never materialize into anything more than a few exchanges, and hardly ever make it to the music-making phase. Even fewer of those emails come from the EU. www.daytondailynews.com/entertainmen...

Only 10 tickets left to Sunday’s Sip-Hop event at Joui Wine here in downtown Dayton www.exploretock.com/joui-wine-da...

Self belief is powerful, but when someone else believes in you the same or more than you do sometimes that’s all it takes. You might be able to let yourself down, but lettin them down is a bridge too far.

I don’t know what your first day of Summer holds but your 2nd day I’ve got you covered

This Saturday!!!

This Saturday!!!

Show day! At Yellow Cab Tavern tonight for my first Dayton show of the year. I’m rocking at around 8:50pm so don’t wait around.

I see things I don’t rock with often and want to put it on blast then I realize two things. One, I gave something that doesn’t serve me or benefit those I care about energy. Two, I brought attention to a thing I don’t support to the benefit of that thing. Protect your peace.

Take home sleep study had me waking up this morning like this except I’m not Canadian so this doctor’s bill bout to have me down bad lmao

Some of the awesome judges that helped us this year with Dayton Battle o the Bands! Vibes, Alayna Yates, Brandon Hawk, and Tino were all fantastic. You can find out all about the judges at daytonbattleofthebands.com and join us for the finale this Saturday!

Watched a documentary on silence last night. The rests in a song can be as powerful or boost the notes. In life we don’t allow ourselves enough rests so everything becomes noise.

Safe Money is live tonight at @blindbobk.bsky.social

Photo from an MLK Jr Day event last month. Having my own government actively working to strip MLK Day and Black History Month away is disheartening to say the least. Growing up in elementary school the only time I got a chance to learn about the contributions of people who looked like me was BHM.

This season of America is giving Silo vibes. Trying to erase history, limit access to education, and provide a higher standard of living to those up top while folks in the down deep who keep the whole show running are vilified. I think I want to go outside to clean.

Views from Mont Saint-Michel in France. MSM is also where we took the photo which became the cover of R.I.T.E. This album is on all streaming platforms. album.link/us/i/1784883... #france #montsaintmichel #undergroundhiphop #undergroundrap #midwesthiphop #worldtravel

Got a chance to rap at an art museum last weekend in celebration of MLK and his legacy. We’ve come a long way, but we’ve got just as far to go.

Second episode of Rose In The East podcast is now available. This time I sat down with engineer/DJ/homie Don Johnson who recorded mixed and mastered this project. We talked about what it’s like to work with me and how this came together in 3 weeks. on.soundcloud.com/NSazT687MAp8...

Tomorrow the Rose In The East Podcast continues with guest Don Johnson who recorded, mixed and mastered the project. We discuss what it’s like to be with me in the studio and how we turned around this project in 3 weeks.

Dayton linked up majorly for this one! I’m honored to be counted amongst the legends 🙏🏾 youtu.be/FnxtMvEv1xI

Dropping the first episode of a mini podcast series discussing the making of this album Tuesday. First guest will be my girl who made the trip with me to France last spring. album.link/i/1784883066

I’ve learned over the years you can’t focus on the people who aren’t rocking with you. That energy is better served providing something meaningful for the people that do. If you’re reading this I hope this next drop keeps up my end of the bargain 🙏🏾

This is what you get when you send a rapper from Ohio overseas to France to work with a French producer in person for the first time on a follow-up album to their over the internet pandemic era 2022 release. #paris #ohio #hiphop #bandcamp #internationalcollaboration

You know how I’m rocking today! #buckeyes #osufootball #osu #buckeyenation #buckeyepride #scarletandgray

Some family you’re born with. Some family you choose. Dayton hip hop has been my family for going on 15 years. #dayton #daytonhiphop #ohiohiphop

Creative energy should be protected at all cost. Often it’s all that stands between us and the void.

Next month I’m putting out a follow up to my 2022 collaboration with producer Martin Dezer of France. Rose In The East was started during my trip to France this spring when I met Martin for the first time.

Energy live from the roof of Roscoe’s Coffee Bar & Taproom in Richmond IN #rooftopperformance #hiphop #undergroundhiphop #liveperformance

Received a grant and got to go overseas to France to work on a follow to an international collaboration with DJ Martin Dezer this spring. People had no idea where Dayton Ohio was but they knew the funk music the city was famous for everywhere. #dayton #funkmusic #funkcapital #vinyljunkie
