Origins is a long-overdue project, a true labor of love that overcame setbacks to see the light of day. After losing the mixdowns to computer issues, I had to rebuild these tracks from the ground up, which only deepened my connection to the music.

This album is gritty, raw, and unapologetically savage—pure hip hop instrumentals crafted as an ode to the genre’s roots. It’s designed for rappers with real bars, a canvas for lyricists to destroy and enjoy.

Favorites like Soul Cypher and Play for Blood Stay in Your Lane capture that hardcore essence, while Echoes of Ptah adds a unique twist by incorporating a voice note from one of the most inspiring humans I’ve ever met.

Origins is a tribute to the true essence of hip hop—a celebration of its raw energy, its soul, and its ability to empower and inspire.
