I wanted to use this post as a roundup for my adventures on the West Coast—both in lived experience and narratively in the Relapse story.
My last days in LA, leading up to me leaving, were riddled with collaboration. One of the most popular was No More Favors with Tek.Lun.
Reconnecting with Mac Miller was another highlight—laying down backing vocals for what ended up being “So It Goes” off his Swimming project, which nabbed me my second Grammy nomination and a platinum record.
All of it led to the culmination and dramatic exit from LA due to the house fire. I didn’t immediately go back to NY though. We actually relocated to Chino Hills before I ended up back in NY permanently which was around the time I was working on No Hard Feelings with The Crushboys, and the end of The Vault series (Vault III–VI).
I’d break down those projects more but I already did, lmao—so feel free to run through the Substack posts for Vault V, Act II, and Vault VI!
Crazy how long I’ve been here on Substack, and I feel like I’m only just starting to get how to use this thing these past few months.
I always talk about LA with a mixed bag of emotions. It was obviously an important part of my journey, but so much of it is in the past, and most of the places and people from that time don’t resonate with me anymore. I’ll never forget the memories, but the era I’ve been building in New York has been much more fruitful.
To the new era.
