about

Notes: I named it "everything must change" to kind of speak it into fruition. I'm just tired, man.. I felt stuck and just needed change. I needed something good to happen. It relates back to the first explanation for "HOUSE PARTY" where 888 is a number that represents change. Frank Ocean is one of my favorite artists and I thought his Aaliyah cover was beautiful. I like that line - "tell me what it is" - as if speaking to someone who has a secret or asking the love of your life what they need. I split the audio into two channels as the song progresses to help visualize the dichotomy I feel. How I feel being torn apart by my intellectual/materialistic side and my spiritual/artistic side. As it progresses the audio sounds shreded/torn in two.

KMSS = Kate Moss Supreme Shirt. Shoutout Giggs, shout out Charlie Sloth, shoutout London. Swear the UK is my second home. Wanted to pay homage to all my British homies. Shoutout Brazil and Tim Maia too. I liked the idea of combining these different cultures and music styles together as they're so different.

The "Pegasus" name is in line with the esoteric/zodiac feel of the album. It is also a reference to the anime 'Saint Seiya.' The track is inspired by footwork and UK garage beats. I wanted to flip "boo'd up" but just ended up playing it on the keys and adding my own spin to the rhythm by freestyling over it with a synth lead. I also included a scene from "Can't Buy Me Love", a cheesy 80s movie about a nerd being taught how to be "cool", and there's this really uncomfortable scene where he is making out with a girl in the bathroom and she is kind of pulling away when he tries to go further but I guess he ends up seducing her with a poem. I included it as a nod to the #MeToo movement and as a male artist I wanted to use my platform to put all of this aggresive and inappropriate male sexual behavior towards women on blast, especially shining a light on rape culture in media since the 1980s (and further back, I was just referencing the movie) which has persisted even today regarding Dr. Ford's testimony against Brett Kavanaugh.

This track is overall a nod to J Dilla though. I wanted to make three short, highly creative bursts or ideas. Dilla was the master of that. Just honing in on one simple idea or phrase of a sample and working his way around it to make it compelling. He was a genius. RIP.
