I want the world to tell me what I already know

About Me



Album "Thirsty City" is OUT. 15 tracks of off polished dissimilarities thrown into a hiphop blender to make the most maleficent iced beverage. Its a cry out, urging for a somewhat hopeful local scene. Thirsty City also features Emcee's Phaust (Sinthesis) and Makena. Songs produced and written by Vividend with help from Phingaz (MN) "beat tweaker."
