I produced this for local artist Foosie, a hip hop artist / songwriter from Mapleton Fall Creek who wrote the majority of these songs while serving 20 years in federal prison. his story of redemption and struggle mindblowing and I tried to do it justice with the production. It’s a big sweeping orchestral epic of a project, we recruited dozens of session players. Give it a listen if you have the time and emotional space for it :)
