tears of joy

fredoku hopefully this is the most i ever have to pay for a record LOL. forever grateful for wht this tape has done for me. one of the most painful yet beautiful representation of dealing with loss. ive loved this album ever since i tapped into mike in 2021 but it hit differently when i heard it again this year. i broke down when it got to the voice message on stargazer pt 3. thank you for making this masterpiece Favorite track: stargazer pt.3.

negassie full of love, full of hope, a seemingly impenetrable despair that we weaponize in our creative process, our catharsis. heavy heart of gold and everything that comes with it. tears of joy, a gratefulness for the moment, for the sacred watchfulness that our predecessors provide. for the community we have and will have. amen. Favorite track: TAKE CROWNS.

harrisonjohn28 this album came out the day after my high school graduation, and there have been tons of memories associated with this one. mike's showing his range on this one - from downright despondent on scarred lungs 1/2 and suffocate to hopeful on stargazer and PLANET to flexing his muscles on take crowns, summer 17 and my favorite, its like basketball. Favorite track: its like basketball.
