Finished up another session w/ my mentee, Jazz Lynn (@kikiford101). Easily one of most talented/skilled students I've had the pleasure of working with. Follow her and stay tuned for all of the greatness this young poet, singer, songwriter and scholar has in store. #JazzLynn #Substantial #eachoneteachone #teacherandstudent #mentee #mentor #vinyl #records #naturalhair #blackexcellence #nujabes #spritualstate

Grateful to the people who believe in me/my music and the kind words. Thank you, Griselda! #SUBporter #Repost @griseldamercier "August, and I still listen to this record almost daily. As a minority in America, the love of Hip-Hop is something that I can relate to with many. I believe this record is a beautiful representation of Hip-Hop, and it deserves much more recognition! From talking about what minorities face in America; motivating people to chase their dreams; to talking about being a father; this record is already a classic in my book. Also thanks to @substantialmusic for the autographed vinyl. #Substantial #TPIAPITF #MusicUnitesUs

Now this. #charlottesville Please note: I am not here to debate. Feel how you want. I debate in person. (Folks are more careful with their words when there are potentially immediate consequences.) Comments I don't like get deleted. Disrespect gets you blocked. I cannot and will not ever digest the bullshit you wish to feed me. #FOH #takeyourfeelingswithyou #amessagefromtheking #Substantial #Repost from @msball_ofclass
#FunFactFriday Inspiration can come from anywhere. The inspiration for my favorite collaboration with #Nujabes, 'Ain't No Happy Endings', came from the 1982 movie, #TheLastUnicorn. This #dropthemic moment from #Schmendrick inspired the hook and 1st verse of the song. Month's later in Tokyo, Jun's beat inspired me to finish what I started. The rest is history.

#TBT My debut and sophmore albums. Plus the #SubOnWax campaign. We made it to over 50% in 5 days which means we're a third of the way to the top stretch goal with 25 days to go! Excited about making these happen. Thank you all so much. #ThrowbackThursday Swipe ⬅ #Substantial #ToThisUnionASunWasBorn #Sacrifice #kickstarter #kickstartermusic #vinyl
