Fun fact. You came out this two track jammer from @tomcantsleep.bsky.social x @killvongard.bsky.social on repeat and listen to it 12 times in an hour. I did the math and tested it out 🧮

@killvongard.bsky.social and I wish we made more carefree music on the new episode of Unseen Underground Pod creators.spotify.com/pod/show/ste...
wanna put a spotlight on this record in particular: myquale - above all
very moody, jazzy, soulful rap music from chicago that is a masterclass in restraint. tiny elements cause tsunamis here

duuuuuuude! i got followers on here! bluesky is real! i'm very happy about it! lfg shall we?!!!!
Love how laidback and chill it is here vs “the other place”. Gonna keep it strictly music and games. There’s no sense of frustration here and I appreciate that.
fuggit let's do it here first...
SECRET PANCAKE, my 9th release (3rd self-produced), will be coming out on January 10th on Mutombo Records ... and the first single drops MONDAY. If you want the single NOW, you can download it here (in exchange for a pre-save) 🤫🥞
