I have had many request over the years to release my sophomore solo endeavor onto streaming services and the like. Many have hailed this as my best piece of work ; and it's with this I understand why some of those we look up to hate when this is said about their early creations. However ; I have far less disdain for the concept, as I tend to have an understanding of "place and plight", and it's relationship with music, and the other things we love. Truthfully, some of me even agrees with the notion of this being my best piece of work, if not at very least, the most sacred. There is something unabashedly raw and core to my writings and delivery on this album that refuses to be replicated in my future works. That's not to say I don't think I create much better music now, nor that my abilities have increased exponentially ; It's just simply to say I understand the notion.
So without further exposition ; I present "ELUCIDATION" with production by KUMA, and the eternal artwork of Mars M Gate. The original artwork for this album sits in my lab, and weighs about 10lbs as it was designed on a wooden canvas. Seems fitting to me, as some of the content still weighs heavy on my tomb.
