about

This album started kind of with a more rock heavy sample-based sound but I am saving that for another topic. This project is basically looking at the things we all do to show off ourselves (Hey, Look At Me!), rationalize your reality (Waiting For The Drugs To Kick In), deal with the odds of temptation (The Snake And The Rose), in order to feel like we have bettered ourselves.
