You get Fighting Sleep.

Fighting sleep meshes my love for emceeing with my desire to experiment with different melodies and instrumentation.  Lyrically, this EP is very engaging and visual.  Each song serves as a short story to describe events in my life where my battles with Insomnia came into play.

Video Games and the culture surrounding them were a huge influence in creating this EP.  You can hear this most on songs like IceFall and The Grid (which many of you saw the video for a few months ago).

This EP is written, executed and produced exclusively by yours truly.  It's more a "proof of concept" than a fully featured album.  I am by no means a veteran producer, and I think this EP reads honest in that regard.  My goal was to challenge myself to make a marketable work without the help of pros so that I could better garner respect for the craft.  I believe I have succeed in this.

There are several different places you can listen to and/or acquire the EP.  I've provided links to some them below (Hope to have it on Spotify soon).  I really hope you enjoy it and I look forward to talking with you about the stories and their inspiration.
