RAW EP

Dear Internet,

It's been a while and I've come a long way as an artist. Very soon, on my birthday actually, I will be dropping my first ever project, the RAW EP. This EP came from a place of both frustration and want to be better. During this EP's creation a lot of things happened, I was let down by a lot of people and learned of a lot of peoples true colors. I know that a lot people probably won't like my music, mostly from sound, but also from skill level. This EP wasn't made for everyone to enjoy though, in this EP I made the music that I want and did everything my way. The entire sound was curated by me, from the production of the beat, to the vocals (with exception to a handful of features), and even the mixing and mastering. I worked really hard and hope that the world will enjoy these 7 songs and outro as much as I do. I am currently finalizing the tracklist as well as one of the songs (Spartan) that has not been completed. I hope everyone realizes that through work ethic anything is possible. Just a year ago I couldn't produce a decent beat nor rap at all, but I put my nose to the grindstone and studied the greats. It all came together and culminated in the RAW EP. I have much more music to come and I will only get better from here. I can say that I already have my next EP nearly finished and it is going to be even more ambitious and better than this one. I want to thank all of my people in Sol Minor, especially Larry, Logan, and Susboi for lending their ear and helping intermittently throughout the project. I also wanna thank people like PatxWil, Jaidrius, and Thobani for just being real ass mutha fuckas that make good ass music on the internet (hell they might not even see the post). Lastly I wanna thank a few popular musicians. I wanna thank Eminem for introducing me to the rap game. Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion for keeping the bullets out of my head. J Cole and Earl Sweatshirt for inspiring me as much as they do. And Tyler the Creator for kinda showing me that you can make good ass music with absolutely nothing. I keep thinking of shit to add, but I think the last thing I wanna say is that you should follow what you love, don't ever let some shit stop you ever, issa cruel world out there and life is too short for that bullshit. I hope that everyone that listens enjoys, since its prolly people that will listen reading this and this won't ever blow up, I wanna say I fucking love y'all, especially if I mentioned your name in this. Ok, it's cool if you didn't read my long paragraph, I'm done now.

Much love,

-just Devon
