Black October

Sadat X

A somber, sample-heavy reflection on legal pressure and street legacy. Dusty New York boom-bap loops meet a veteran's anxious, high-pitched wisdom.

Find on Amazon

The sound of a New York legend emptying his notebook before the cell door clicks shut.

A heavy, autumnal sense of reflection and impending consequence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's heavy, mournful piano loop that sets a tone of impending consequence.
The rhythmic shift in 'Throw tha Ball' where the drums tighten up against Sadat's off-kilter delivery.
The sprawling fifteen-minute outro that feels like a slow-motion exit from the public eye.
