about
"In the Mud" centers around a time in my life where I felt complacent and in a daze not knowing exactly where I should be spending my time. Too often, I found myself waking up late, hungover and laying next to a woman I barely knew knowing that I had other shit to do.
This kept happening, and like any habit or addiction that's nurtured, it became comfortable. So, the song is basically about that; playing in the mud, drinking the mud, living in the mud & being strangely content with it.
My friend introduced me to Dirty Art Club's work, and the beat Hemlock spoke to me the most. The song wrote itself in about an hour, and perfectly encapsulated what I was going through at that time. I recorded it and put it on SoundCloud & shortly after, the producer Matt from Dirty Art Club hit me up about doing further collaborations in the future…
Intelligent insightful wordplay and super dope beats - what's not to like! Also the bonus of some LP remixes from the cloudstepper himself and it's a no brainer. oldmanvegas

The last 5 years I've rolled around in what I call Doomtree creative silk sonic hugs, I've been inspired to produce, mix and sometimes driven to emotional tears at how amazing their music is. "Dear echo" is no exception. The moment Cecil throws down the female vocal sample in 'Beauty' is perfect. I actually get lumps in my throat sometimes when I listen.
Real poetry and music created for true feeling, not just to hit the charts. When I discuss music and people use "rap" to describe the deteriorating popular music scene, I correct them with music like this. Jonathan Malkin
