    paper EVERYTHING IS NOT AS IT CREAMS

    8-Song EP produced and mixed completely by me and my close collaborators DameRunitup and Chris Smith. I wrote all 8 songs, ranging from boom-bap to trap with melodic hooks and infectious flows. Chris Smith, Skilla Baby’s engineer, mixed the album professionally, giving my creative production and vocal experimentation a polished sound to share with my fanbase. I sampled soul records, contemporary music, and 60’s psychedelic rock records to create the production for this project, mixing each beat to perfection and infusing playful, smooth, yet entendre-packed lyricism into each track. Cream represents my identity (half white, half yellow), and this EP was my method of expressing that playful, witty identity through these songs. My first real body of work, and far from perfect, but soon to be followed by an even more polished trap EP in the fall.

    paper GOOD DAY

    Detroit Hip-Hop track with a smooth flow and hilarious punchlines. 2-Part Hook, melodic prechorus, hard-hitting verses, and I wrote every lyric. The beat samples Ice Cube’s classic “It Was a Good Day” with Detroit/Flint drums and a mix from Detroit’s own Chris Smith, engineer for two of Detroit’s biggest artists, Skilla Baby and Sada Baby. It was the first song I ever recorded and released, inspired by and symbolic of my trip from my hometown in Michigan to Los Angeles. Master ended up sounding perfect, recorded a music video on a golf course with iPhones, and ended up garnering 40k views on Instagram with 400+ new followers as well, marking a successful debut single to kick off my rap career. The song garnered over 10k streams on Spotify alone and is my third most successful release with merely $50 spent on promotion.

    uniE603 SIX FO
    Lead single of a 3-song EP in collaboration with LA/Bay Area DJ Day$. A tasteful "You Know How We Do It" sample from South Central's own Ice Cube creates heavy west coast vibes blended with Detroit/Michigan production courtesy of Detroit's Dame Runitup. Catchy, dynamic 2-part hook with witty 16-bar verses to couple it, layered background vocals, mixed and mastered to perfection with booming 808s and bright, warm instrumentation. Wrote the entire song myself from scratch, arranged the beat myself, recorded all vocals, mixed, released, and promoted the song as well.…
    paper OCTANE

    High-energy trap song, featuring an aggressive and unrelenting flow, clever lyricism, and smacking drums/synth horns. The beat was made by my roommate, Liam McCarthy, the song was written and performed by me, mixed by Anton Pastoria (Cash Kidd Engineer), and released by me commercially under Cream on all platforms. Garnered 11,000 streams on Spotify alone through multiple Hip-Hop/Gameday playlists.
