about

This introduction features Papa, which is my Grandpa. On my album, "Absolute Truth," there is a song called "Nana's Kitchen" that has my Grandma in the beginning. So I definitely wanted to get him in on this project. It sets the tone for the entire album, along with the intro title. You will hear the passing of multiple cars (which we recorded on the shoulder of I-20 East at the 408 split-off), the gravel crackling of the tires of my Toyota Highlander pulling up to a mic laid on the ground in an abandoned church parking lot in Oak Cliff, a window rolling down, Papa and I negotiating a ride, me and three6t jumping in the back of Pete's truck in Grand Prairie (Pete is three6t's step-dad), then my Highlander taking off. This 52 seconds took us about 6 hours to capture. We drove all around Dallas field recording, then manually placed the audio to build the story-line.
