i thought i was on to me that i had it all figured out but things fell apart anyway and now either i fall alongside the floor collapsing underneath my feet or i leap. • LIMITED TIME MERCH, INCLUDING APPAREL AND 1ST EDITION CDs WITH OBI-STRIP AVAILABLE NOW @ RAV.STORE • Streaming Links - rav.lnk.to/LEAP As is practically tradition at this point, I’m going to use this space here to talk my shit right quick. This time, me talking my shit entails giving you a touch of context going into this album. The last 3 years of my life have been the most challenging period of my life thus far, and I’m not out of this arc just yet. I could go on and on, recounting all the traumatic events and their details, but I’m no good at that kind of thing outside of my music, and I’d rather not relive the trauma right now, given the wounds are still so fresh. Besides, you don’t need to know everything anyway. I’ll say this though - one of the things that happened to me last year is getting my shit stolen; one part of said shit was my laptop with most of my album sessions. In fact, half of all the LEAP album sessions were lost during that, and the demos I had in my google drive folder were the only remnants of said sessions - these became the final versions of half of the songs, for better or worse. Sure, they were raw in mix and delivery quality at times, but both the content and the rawness suddenly became more relevant to my life as time went on. Being unable to go back and change my words, or adjust the production, makes this album feel like an uncomfortable photo that I know is accurate and true, even if it can be hard to look at at times. Don’t worry, I’ve learnt my lesson since, and have a better system for backing up my files going forward. In short, LEAP is about finding a path forward, when there is seemingly none left. I’m still here, and there is strength left in me yet. I’ll get through this stage of my life, one way or another. "I’m me, just enough."
