Cambatta ~ Kovid 24 ((Stream)) (@Cambattamusic)
According to the medical science of optometry 20/20 Is a measurement that refers to your visual acuity, which is the clarity or sharpness of your vision. Synchronistically since 2020 started the entire world's perception of reality has been forever changed. So far, we are amidst what has been arguably the most paradigm shifting and devastating year experienced by modern man. Starting with the death of one of the greatest basketball players of all time Kobe Bryant along with his young daughter Gianna. This terribly unfortunate loss preceded the spread of a worldwide Kovid/Korona Pandemic panic of biblical portions only to be followed by the political anarchy and riots of the George Floyd death.

Skyzoo ~ Milestones ((Stream)) (@skyzoo)
"The idea for this project came from me noticing the landscape of how fathers are represented in hip hop. Outside of Will Smith’s classic “Just the Two Of Us” and a handful of others, the majority of the records in hip hop that speak on fatherhood have a negative connotation. I wanted to change that narrative, as it’s not the only one that exists. Myself being a father, there are a ton of others like me who are engulfed in hip hop and are also 24 hour a day dads, whose kids mean the world to them. I wanted to showcase that. I started this project in August of 2019 as one song, and it grew into an entire project within a week, and I’ve been sitting on this idea since the summer/fall, waiting for Father’s Day weekend to come around.
This is a conceptual EP, where each song is a story that holds hands with the ones before and after it, all about my life as a kid, growing up with my father always in my life, and how that’s now shaped me as a father myself. It’s named “Milestones”, after my son Miles, and also signifying the milestones that us dads reach in life as we grow into fatherhood. This project is solely about growing Up with a dad, being a dad, and the importance of it all. To all the fathers out here who are lovingly and actively doing the work, this one is for us."

In light of the recent murders of unarmed Black citizens, Styles P and I decided it’s time to release a song that we recorded a few years ago entitled “SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT TOILET” produced by Marco Polo. I was holding this song for a different project but the moment calls for conversations regarding the vicious cycle of violence against Black bodies in the United States of America.
