"My Season" carries a strong message of empowerment and ambition. What inspired you to create this track, and was there a specific moment that sparked the concept?
I was working on the beat in the studio and the energy from it was electric. I had to deliver a message that was positive but also just me talking real life and feeling like I was coming into a groove as a creative.
You collaborated with BOBdAHIPPIE on this song. How did that partnership come about, and what was the creative process like working together?
I have worked with BOBdAHIPPIE before on some of his music as his engineer, and as I was working on the song, I knew I needed another sound and gear for it. I called BOB and asked him to come to the studio, played him the song, and saw the fire in his eyes as he said yes! He wrote the chorus right there and recorded it in the same time span. It was amazing and gave the song the missing touch!
The track has a powerful energy that feels like an anthem for motivation. How do you want listeners to feel when they hear "My Season," and what do you hope they take away from it?
I want listeners to feel like it is their season for sure and to walk into that energy and vibe. Everyone has a season it may not be now but might as well try to be prepared for it and go as if it is now because it will be theirs quicker than they know.
As an artist who wears many hats—rapper, singer, producer, and engineer—how does having full creative control impact your music's final sound and message?
I always go back to the quote “Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one” Having full creative control is fun and kinda stressful because I know the message I am trying to convey with each and sometimes it doesn’t always play out that way. I have scrapped 1000s of ideas but also have come up with some of the most memorable things as well. I also trust that it will sound good, especially because school helped me refine these skills and make my art the best possible way I can.
Looking at your journey from The Perception to now, how has your sound and message evolved, and what can fans expect from you moving forward?
The Perception was the seed that started the growth. I always wanted to make music that had relatability, strong messages and a sound that wasn’t dated but different. So fans can expect more music looking to drop an EP and LP this year with more singles and videos!
