Throughout the process of putting this mixtape together, I have learned an incredible amount about music. The help and support from everyone has all fueled my motivation to pursue this. Plenty of people have helped me out with the project, but I am going to highlight the people who have directly contributed to producing and mixing this project.
Producers:
Stoic Beats
Stoic recently moved from the NY area to LA full time to pursue his music career. Less than a year ago he completed nursing school and decided to say fuck it and make music instead. Stoic produces beats on Youtube, and his channel has 45k subscribers and earned almost 11 million plays total.
Stoic's range and versatility in his beats make his music so fun to work with.

Dolapo Inc
Dolapo is a mixer/producer in Tampa Bay. I was referred to him through Stoic, and Dolapo mixed 7 songs total on this project for me.
"I’m a Yahuah fearing musician from Tampa, FL. I’ve been making music since I was 9 yrs old but just recently started to fully devote my music towards The Most High and the good news of his kingdom. One of my gifts is helping people and I use music as one of the avenues to help. Whether I’m mixing to bring someones vision to life, or production to provide a music landscape, or writing to help increase or endurance of faith; my goal is always to help. All praise to the Father for using me as a vessel for his work. Shalom"

Coming out of Tacoma, WA this man has helped me so much with my flows and energy on the mic. Hip Hop is home, but Juss Law can hop on virtually any genre. Juss wants his message to be clean so the message can be heard by as many people as possible.
He wraps up his mindset perfectly with this quote:
"If you feel that your passion is in something, do that. Even if it's a hobby at first. Hone your craft and listen to sound advice but never let anyone get in the way of what you create"
Shaina Jones

7) Periscopes
Shaina is a vocalist from Chicago, who appears on the Hook of "Periscopes". From Chicago, Shaina is also involved in administrative support for other artists at Havas Talent Agency. Shaina has spoken on WGN, performed internationally, and instructs over 1000 youth in conflict resolution skills.
