HCM. What impression would you like listeners to be left with after hearing your music?
Mo Nicole. I want the listeners to have no choice but to sit back and appreciate how music, and specifically hip hop evolves. We were able to combine a few eras of Hip-hop on this project without sounding dated. Bob Deniro did a great job on production and mixing. I really just want the listeners to enjoy the work we put in.
