Gonna rewrite this review soon cuz this grew like a motherfucker

I gave the first released single, Born Yesterday, a listen.
I may or may not have cried.
I promptly gave the full project a listen, and was not ... read more

"@officvictorlee it is literally a fact that he was killed idiot, and you don't believe human lives are inherently important? you don't realise that environmental and societal factors out of his control (institutionalised racism) would have led to "the drugs being the problem" as conservatives claim? you don't realise george floyd was the catalyst for awareness around an issue that has been happening for centuries without it being apparent to you because you are too privileged (white) for it to affect you? please look at the bigger picture come on.."
