What's good, Newgrounds? Been a while since my last update, and for a lot of reasons. First off, I just want to thank everyone who's supported the Hands Up album release. DJ Chidow and I put a lot of love into it, and it wouldn't have been possible without Lizzie, Aimee, FPeyro, and P.M. letting us use their voices on the album, as well as Joel and Mizu giving us their blessings. The soundtrack is the most successful release we've done, bar none, and I'm super happy you all enjoyed the music, cuz we got more coming!

All that said, it ain't been all good for me, lately. A few days after we released the soundtrack, my grandfather died after being extremely sick for nearly a year. Since then, I've been struggling to be creative. You've might've seen me do some collabs or post some tracks recently, but those tracks were largely finished prior to his passing. In addition to mourning, I've been dealing with family squabbles that's been happening since his passing, and trying to deal with a rather lousy job that's been paying me little, and sucking my soul dry. But I've been slowly improving and taking life as it comes. I just thank God that I have my health, and have great friends that got my back.

In all, I'm slowly getting back on track. I got have a project in the works that's been in the pipeline for a while, and I'm restarting work on my album again. To everyone who's enjoyed my work on Newgrounds, and helped me out these last few months: Thank you.
