dreams(act i) is my 9th drop on sound.xyz and the first release from "untitled iii" a multistory ep produced in collaboration with Philly legendary producer and songwriter, HEZEKIAH (founder of Beat Society, Johnny Popcorn) The two of us met while celebrating 50 years of hip-hop in VA late summer 2023. The headliners were DEAD PREZ, the G.O.A.T.S. iykyk, who closed their set showing love to all and intentionally giving me my flowers, not as the only woman emcee on the bill, but solely because of my gifts and handling of this craft. Wow, full circle moment to be witnessed and affirmed by true giants like blueprints for the culture for real. Shortly after that moment, I could hear the opening lyrics of this song ringing out over the sound of the festival's closing. "Reaching for the highest heights of my highest destiny and whats more, days later, HEZEKIAH sent me a pack! The "untitled iii" collaborative project was born. Over the course of the first quarter of 2024 we will release music in three acts, three mediums of sharing story as creators. The first is dreams (act i) a music visual & song that reflects on what it's like to navigate the industry as a woman, as an independent artist, as well as a creative legacy, and the walls artists hit sometimes when seeking to have their creations valued. This year as an artist in residence at the New Orleans Museum of Art I am continuing to actualize my belief that music is fine art for all, and that hip-hop/rap is this generation's true authentic American art form (more on that later). This year is for the dreamers. Cover art by Supermit! a collector evolved into collaborator. stay connected as we share more of our dreams, nightmares (act ii), and invite you into new worlds (act iii) this year. may the inspired stay inspired, <3 CHARM
