sick album, probably the best oldschool hip hop i've heard on newgrounds so far. I really love the art too, nice stuff all around man
edit: yeah, i commented on blossom's blossom
Special shout outs to: Gminor Music, Dj Dureagon, Max Headroom for the instrumental work. Wouldn't be possible without you guys!
Dj Omega Phantom: Did alot of consulting with him in regards to feedback to the tracks, as well as help in mixing and polishing this thing and just pushing me to get this thing as good as I could.
Hope ya'll enjoy this. Took a few artistic risks, but needed to exhale some of that
negative shit.

Thanks so much man! Did you see the lyric videos I was putting up on youtube by chance? At any rate, have a great day! I greatly appreciate it.
Really dug this.
I'm moderately bad at putting my thoughts into words so a review from me is usually something like "liked it" or "didn't like it". I really wish I could articulate why I think this album is good but I guess I just have to say there were a lot of relatable songs. Your words carry quite a lot of meaning and I can't wait to dissect them on repeat listens.
Objectively, the flow is good and the beats are solid, which is not surprising given your track record and the fact that you have a lot of talent on board with the guest instrumentalists as well. I love the old-school feel you've got on some of these tracks!
Well done!
Thanks so much Grant! I'm glad that you were able to connect to them like that. I am super stoked to get the boys on board and showcase their talents! Their beats have been captivating and haunting my brain since my getting hip to newgrounds.
Woooow. A whole goddamn album. Great work actually!
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Thank you for this. Really. Its inspirational. In the way that it takes me back to when I had my own ambitions and had a passion for creating something that someone might enjoy. You create some great structures here and some amazing and trippy soundscapes with your own instrumentals. It's very smooth like your vocals and it really melds the entire project together. I have to listen to it more to really cover everything. But the standout tracks to me are Sky Palaces, Grinning Moon, Melancholy Forests and Sprouts my dude. Fucking Sprouts...goddamn! Ill bump this for a while and thank you for the great work.
And my thanks to you! Some of my favorite rhymes where inspired and manifested from getting sucked into your beats. I personally feel like i'm out of that race to break in with this music stuff, but I feel like this could potentially be a whole new period for me getting back into the craft and experimenting. We'll definitely have to make some more tracks (might have to get some of those old tracks and bring em back out again for another go)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
