Citrus City Records
Alfred. further cements my claim that they are one of the best artists coming out of Virginia.
Favorite track: GAMES (lullaby for mom) [prod. Young Pockets].
I wrote this for everyone and anyone that I've ever got to love, hold and admire from a far. For people who misperceive and for those I misperceive, for the honor of my family and wound in my sides that are my blood ties. I send love to all of you in some tiny way every time I rhyme. Lovers, friends, teacher, haters, strangers, acquaintances, enemies, oppressors all alike some way some how I'm thinking about you. I want peace and do not know how to attain it for even myself, and some days all I have is my song. Dramatic and long winded but I mean it.

If you buy the album you get a super gay poem by me downloaded from MY bandcamp into YOUR computer pocket :^)
The "Topshelf Records" label is specialized in the release of interesting and unusual music from the areas of alternative rock, post-rock, and math rock. This sampler provides a thorough insight into its impressing catalog of artists and bands. This is one of the very few label samplers I can listen to all the way through without skipping tracks.
