“Substantial‘s fifth solo studio album grapples with the tricky question of how a hip-hop artist can grow old within the culture while both retaining their creative zest and avoiding succumbing to bitterness and resentment toward younger generations. It’s a take that the Virginia-based MC and producer delivers from atop a deep vault of releases dating back to 2001’s jazz-centric debut To This Union A Sun Was Born (which features beatwork by the sadly departed Nujabes).” - Phillip Mlynar of Bandcamp

Peace World. We are happy to announce that pre-orders are now available for my 5th solo studio album, Adultish. Details below.

Guests include Shing02, Uyama Hiroto, Mega Ran, Marcus D, Stephanie Gayle, T.Lucas, Tamera Wellons, MLLN, Javier Starks, Malcolm Jackson, DJ RBI, DJ Jav, Matthew Shell, and Black Root.

Peace World. It’s been a while since my last email blast. I’ve been hard at work performing, teaching, traveling, and working on completing my next album.
Today, I’m proud to announce the launch of my Kickstarter campaign for Adultish, my fifth solo album. Adultish is the sonic journey of a "grown-up" with more growing to do over jazz and soul samples, chopped breaks, with some live instrumentation. The six-week campaign ends on my birthday, January 7, 2023, at 11:59 pm. Perks include vinyl records, hoodies, hats, custom beats, executive producer credit, and MUCH more. Please note that you will not be charged until the campaign concludes which means that you can back the campaign today and pay later. The goal is to raise $10K (it’s more like $8.5K but we need to account for taxes, Kickstarter fees, and failed pledges). With your support, I have no doubt that we’ll reach our goal.

I have many things to be thankful for including people like you who take the time to read messages like this. I appreciate your continued support!
