Why did you name your album Behold a Pale Horse?
I got the name from a title of a book I read plenty of times throughout my back-and-forth years upstate. The book was about the truths about the lies and conspiracy theories that the government tried to hide. It put a lot of people up on the game. From major historical happenings on a vast array! That title and the power it held as well as the contents of the material just stuck with me and I knew I had to use it as a spin-off to the streets and parallel it to the music industry and the mechanics of today. I am that pale horse. I’m that elephant in the room that sticks out as a pale horse would. Plus I’m a pale nigga! But every track on the album is the truth. True to where I come from and my sound. It’s no down-south, bubble-gum, or radio-friendly trying to fit in sound that everyone else is trying to imitate. After people hear this raw they gonna try to imitate, compress it and stretch it.
