August Finds

Dom Deshawn

So, it's wild thinking back to when I first wrote and recorded this record. This was around May/June of 2015, and I had just met the homie KMB in person. If I'm not mistaken, he was only a year out of high school, and I was blown away when I heard his production for one; how young he already had a unique sound. And two, he was from Columbus and, at the time, did not hear many with his sound. 

Around the spring of 2015, quite a few of us would chill and be creative over a mutual friend's crib. I was always connected with KMB cause he would sit quietly in a corner and just work, not paying much attention to all the noise that was going around him. We became friends, and this was the first song he produced of mine. At the time, I was still working a shitty warehouse job and trying to balance the 9-5 and artist life. I wanted to make something motivational and relatable because the reality is most of us had to/currently work a job while pursuing our passions.

AfterhOurz Anthem

Three Oscillators

This song has made people cry and gave me goosebumps when I finished it. I've always been inspired by post-apocalyptic themes and this is the tune that plays in the aftermath of an apocalypse that I'll let you imagine.

From my EP titled The Purge, released in 2020.

V1
This is where I’m at
Breakin' borders
Trying to figure this out
On the right track
Tell the truth
It's the matter of fact

PRE
Stuck in Minnesota 
And my heart’s in a coma 
But I won’t trace back
To the things I lack

I won’t wait for the weather
I just wanna get better 
I won’t trace back
Secrets haunt me

CHORUS
I’m hiding from this fever
And my hands are cold
Lost in an empty space so lethal
Look at all these lonely people

Questioning existence
But I need to go
It’s time to inhale destination
Float in all this misdirection

V2
This is where I’m at
Tackling a demon
Up in my head
This is where I’m going
Fighting every nightmare
Dreamt in this bed 

PRE
Woke up in Virginia
And I’m making a million 
Decisions
It’s like a religion 

I won’t wait for the weather
I just wanna get better 
I won’t trace back
Secrets haunt me

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE
I got my baggage packed away
Turbulence, what better way
Uncovering my pride

No one knows
What’s it gotta do with me?
The universe will set you free
