This EP wasn’t meant to be a big thing, but it has turned out into 1 of my most solid projects to date. I honestly jus got really hype because my girl copped me autotune as a gift (big shout out to her) & I was inspired to churn out songs nonstop. As per usual, I still have plenty of joints in the vault, but for now... Thank you to the members of CVTE who contributed (Yung Davon, deject, Carlo Anthony, Tetsuo, & Starman Deluxe) as well as ayashi [!], FBN members CCI MIDAS & kawaiikokayne fka Lieutenant Lime, Travis Xantana, & Lil House Phone who all provided production & guest vocals. As of late, I’ve been engineering my own stuff, but a big shout out to my co-engineers & fellow CVTEBOY$ deject, Yung Davon, Starman Deluxe, & Carlo Anthony on “Fancy Black Trench Coat” & “Tory Lanez v2”. I been goin through it still, had to watch my mans get lowered into the ground & it fucked me up. People came in from all over the place for his funeral & I hope that happens when my time comes because despite all the depressing moments, we all agreed that /that/ was truly beautiful. I don’t usually get the chance to go to funerals either & it kills me, but that’s the price of being broke, I been building up though so no more of that... I will never see Dequan, Sophia, Purity Boys & Timmy, Diego, or Dro ever again, w/ each death comes time to mourn, connect, & learn. Y’all knew him as Erik Rabooli, before he quit music he was in CVTE & the man never stopped representing, CVTE is in his SC bio to this day & I am grateful for the fights, the love, & the laughs him & I shared. Idk, I don’t have shit else to say. I can’t make Macabre Renaissance over & over & over again. Please, always stay cautious of what you do & what your surroundings are. I love y’all, whether I or you are dead or alive.
RIP Dro Mane, Cigg Mobb forever. Nbs...
RIP Erik Rabooli, the 17th CVTEBOY... I will miss you dearly, brother.
EDIT:
In the time I’ve made this EP, a lot of changes have been made, but the biggest 1 is the loss of CCI MIDAS. I will always love you. We were working on an album before your passing, so I’m gonna take some time & work on that & not disappoint them. You heavily inspired my style in regards to autotune & I appreciate everything you’ve taught me. I love you dawg, rest up, & to everybody who enjoys our work together, MIDAS contributed production & vocals to a few of my upcoming projects, so don’t worry, there is more on the way. 💜
