Words by Big Ghost Ltd, as usual: "In the midst of this renaissance we been witnessing in the underground…as beautiful n raw as the output has been…we also started to see a lot of cookie cutter nonsense take place. Seems like we got more rappers n producers than listeners n supporters sometimes. You cant stop art tho. Creators gon create. That being said…yall MFs cant ALL be Westside Gunn or Conway. Yall cant all be Mach Hommy or Roc Marci... Yall beatmakers cant all be Alchemist.. Yall designers cant all be CEP. So on n so on... Not referring to the hierarchy that exists in all cultures or subculture…I’m sayin stop tryna duplicate the end results of what somebody else created by mimicking everything THEY DO. What you should do is pay attention to the process of what THEY DID. Which was found a lane n did what THEY did best. If some youngbuck asks me why 80s artists get held in the reverence they get held in.. or why 90s rappers get to be considered some type of rap gods while in this generation it seems like “dope” is the highest accolade obtainable for the average young artist… I say it’s uniqueness. Thats how Griselda n Mach n Roc etc ascended past “dope”.. What it comes down to is filling a void. A Tribe Called Quest wasnt tryna be Public Enemy. Nas wasnt tryna be Snoop..n vice versa. Thats where Eddie Kaine comes in. Not tryna rap like nobody or sound like nobody or rap about what they rap bout. Still street. But 1000% just him. For somebody like Kaino a backdrop was needed that could be considered familiar…yet unique n raw in its own way too. I like to think it was achieved on this project. But we leave it to the listener to decide. Available at midnight exclusively at the link in the bio. A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. Peace x blessings." Well said.
