“Well Sonic Therapy to me is the ability to use music as a healthy form of coping with life. I can’t front though I didn’t come up with the title, one of the beats that actually didn’t end up making this album was intended to be on it was called sonic herbal therapy haha so I just shortened it and Yesh liked it.. “
Recently there has been discussions on mental health. What is your definition of mental health, what do you think is the best treatment for people with mental health concerns or coping with life? What about music helps you cope with life? What works for you?
“word my definition of mental health is just really how someone feels ya know emotionally. treatment obviously varies based on the condition, some require medication some do not i find almost all mental health concerns improve with some form talk therapy not necessarily in a professional setting but just talking about it. What helps me coping with life is music and weed hahah and my girlfriend. Some days are easier than others for sure Music helps me because I get something positive out of often negative experiences and or thoughts, it turns a negative into a positive and you always have something tangible by the end which is what makes it all worth it, accomplishing something always feels good, there is a lot to accomplish with music. “
Are there any new producers you are working with on this project? Who did you work with on this project?
“Yea fam this project is actually all produced by Yeshintae the homie from California, we’ve been working together for about ten years now so everything is down to a science. I have two features on this project, zzzthesleepyhustler and prada west..”
How would you say your sound had evolved into this project. Give us a brief timeline/snapshot of your personal progression?
“Word fam well this project was actually recorded over a long period of time. Some of the songs intended for this project ended up on Dirt On My Hands. Originally this was a 14 track LP, but is now just 8 songs… So all in all this projects been in the works almost a year. It’s mostly lo-fi dark kinda shit, style of it’s own really..”
Anything you want to update people with? Recently you went on tour, how was that? Which tracks did you enjoy performing the most? Do you see more live shows in your future?
“Tour was dope fam, currently setting up another tour actually, most likely will just do BC and then Canada wide after that! I just want to say get the album! It’s dope and once it’s out which is THIS Saturday June 15th, all the videos will follow! I like to perform different tracks at different venues, but ‘colours’ always hits live that and ‘once again’.
Any particular songs off Sonic Therapy you like the most? Why? How would you describe this project?
“I like a-lot of the songs, but my fav is probably ‘stay focused’ or ‘try harder’ I like that joint a lot too. I guess stay focused is my fav because of the layering and the mixing, the beats crazy and I really like what I said on that song, some of my best writing. I would describe this project as new age old school hip hop haha if that makes sense. It’s got a lot of elements of the new school but some old school boom bap lo-fi production, its different then anything else out right now”
Anybody you want to shoutout/thank on this project?
“I want to thank Yesh for blessing me with all these beats and Teus for mixing it and making it sound exactly how it’s suppose to that dudes a genius”
