North Lawndale, I’m back at the crib!!

Me and Backpack Beatz proudly present Circa 01’ — our upcoming collaborative album paying homage to one of the greatest eras in Hip Hop. Soulful beats, sharp bars, storytelling, reflection, and that raw energy that made us fall in love with the culture in the first place.

This one right here is different.

“Circa 01” is more than an album, it’s a sonic tribute to one of the greatest eras in Hip Hop. The sound, the feeling, the hunger, the soul… we brought all of that back.

Every beat, every bar is rooted in that classic energy that raised us. This is for the ones who remember. And for the ones who need to be reminded.

We celebrating it the right way too…
May 22nd, we bringing it home to North Lawndale.
