about

This album, as screwy as it can be, is reflective of where I was mentally between the years 2006-2010 as an artist. I've grown, but to fully grow, one must accept their past as well. So...here it is.

The album does contain some profanities, so listener discretion is advised (forgot the PA logo thingy) if your ears are sensitive. But, this collection features 19* tracks from my J Dot Speed days at Maryland (2006-2010), indicated by the release date being the day my graduation from UMD became official.

Audio quality varies, since these were ripped from the original files. I tried to mix and master them down a bit more. But, considering that most of these tracks were recorded on a 2004, 2005 Gateway laptop...I'm thankful they even sound this good LOL

*The intro, however, features a Weeknd flip I did in 2011.
