Real ID is my first full-length LP with lyrics since my days in Ostrich Head. It began in Boston at the start of the pandemic in 2020, written in the thick of lockdown when the world felt frozen and uncertain. The final track wasn’t finished until March 2023, after I had moved to Wilmington, NC.
This record carries all of that weight: isolation, restlessness, searching, and the strange pulse of society staggering forward in the years after COVID. It’s not just rapping—it’s closer to poetic outpouring, full of dense, layered lyrics that listeners have sometimes compared to Aesop Rock. I don’t do this often, but when I do, it’s all-in.
The LP is raw and unfiltered. Some tracks I didn’t even like at first, but I kept them because they felt like honest snapshots of my headspace—chaotic, hesitant, sometimes brilliant, sometimes shy. That honesty mattered more than polish.
I’m proud to finally let this one go. If you’ve found your way here, you have my deepest gratitude. I hope these words and sounds resonate with you the way they did with me when I had to get them out.
