We recorded a large chunk of the album during the summer of 2017 at Paramount. Everyday we were there doing Bandana, Nipsey was downstairs working on Victory Lap. A lot of magic in the air. That same summer Josh The Goon passed. The memories live forever in the music.
Piñata. 9 years ago today. We cooked an album with Madlib over the course of 5 years at the same time Freddie was rocking with Jeezy. Never let anyone put you in a box. Never follow the rules. A game changing classic that only gets better with time.
The coaching staff proudly looks on as the players flawlessly execute the game plan they’ve been working on in practice to cap off a historic championship season 🏀🙌🏆
After 5 years...1 beautiful wife...2 beautiful children... 100s of hours creating, recording, & marketing...1 beautiful masterpiece...I’m proud to share this work of art with the world. Finally...
Hope you enjoy it.

Clancy & Tyler inspire me. Dave Free & Kendrick inspire me. Ib & J. Cole inspire me. Steven & Pusha inspire me. Shout out to the coaches and players with the long term relationships in this crazy game.
