AFTERTHOT is the big morning stretch you do after waking up in fresh sheets.
AFTERTHOT is the burnt sugar on creme brulee getting cracked by the back of your spoon.
AFTERTHOT is THOTFORM's more social bestie unafraid to order for them both at the restaurant.

there are songs on this album we started working on over 3 years ago. there are lyrics I poured my heart into after facing enough sobriety AND intoxication to bring the truth out. there are beats that seem so illegally good I questioned whether @amada was merely masquerading a human. @closegood_ is in the business of making masterpieces, always winning, bandwagon now.

Available to own or lease via corporate music overlords 8/4. (link where you think)

R.A.P. Ferreira- Sublimation compels the artist to beauty. Even the worker trafficking in ugly does so because they find the truth of the unattractive to be most gorgeous of all. As kindness becomes antiquated and paranoia the normal operating procedure, an art form as indulgent as rap can seem tasteless.⁠

Why are arts education spaces critical at this time?

Aleah Bradshaw, Manager of Creative Youth Development speaks on the types of literacy that arts education organizations like Youth Speaks teach our youth. This is why we continue to do what we do, despite the decreasing investment in the arts. If you believe in the power of poetry and how it can change a person’s life, consider donating to Youth Speaks.

Visit https://youthspeaks.org/support/ to contribute today.

The next generation will thank you.
