In honor of #RecordStoreDay, up to half off on all my vinyl on @bandcamp. As low as $5 plus a $40 triple pack... all weekend! Ends Monday morning. Thanks for listening. Thanks for being a #SUBporter. #Vinyl #Substantial #bandcamp #records #indiemusic #supportsmallbusiness #supportblackbusiness #vinyljunkie #ilovevinyl
Just finished watching #808 on #AmazonPrime. Dope documentary! Great watch for my fellow producers and music nerds. About to play #Kickdrum by #FelixDaHousecat at a real ig'nant volume during tomorrow's morning commute. Anyway, check the movie out if you haven't seen it. Let me know what you think. #documentary #musichistory #tbt #throwbackthursday #roland
Thanks for listening folks. I might have to thank the shirt as well for the recent slight spike in listeners. 😆 Be sure to follow me on @spotify and anywhere else you listen to music. A lot of new tunes coming your way. #TuesdayTunes #Substantial #Spotify #myshirttho
5 years ago today I released my ode to @missjillscott. bit.ly/jackinjill You are still one of my favorite voices in music EVER! Peace to you and yours! Still remember laying up in the hospital after surgery working on this like it was the last project I'd do. Glad it wasn't and I'm proud of it. Here's to the Golden Lady Ms. Jill Scott! 🥂 Cover/drawing by me. #JillScott #Substantial #JackinJill #celebratetheliving #sketch #itslove #drawing

Thank you all for the continued support. It's been a challenge finishing up the project with the recent tragedies in my personal life. Which makes this title a bit ironic now. How it feels and what it took to complete it are too different things. The gift of music is meant to be shared. I hope this tune brings peace to you and whatever space you share it in. Thanks @mpinfinite for adding my favorite instrument to this and taking it another level. ✊🏾✌🏾 From the press release. "As we await Substantial's debut instrumental album, The Garden, today we get treated to the jazz drenched second single, Effortless. This chill, melodic and headnodding instrumental features percussionist Malcolm Jackson on xylophone. With the new single we also get to see the second photo from the collection which was 📸 by Substantial." #NowStreaming everywhere.

A week ago this little ray of sunshine turned 4 months old. She growing quickly and about as talkative as her mom and pops. 😆 Peace to everyone fighting to keep her and our children safe today in hopes of them seeing or ushering in a better tomorrow for us all. Love you, DeZu. 😘 #TheWorldIsYours #Destiny #AndYourSisters #babygirl #proudpop #ProudBlackFather #blacklivesmatter #raisingqueens #blackdaddygang
Tonight we celebrated my good friend @kokayi's next adventure as he gets ready to hit the road touring from March til December. Happy to see him dive back into the music full time minus the 9 to 5 woes. #Freedom I realized after we left I've known this man 10 years. Glad he came into my life. Learned so much from him as a man, father and musician. #Grateful Safe travels, Champ. Dope event per usual, @seshatmakesdo! #Substantial #Kokayi #DC #SmithCommons
