about

My fourth studio album is here five years to the day after the first Acid Rain record dropped. The changes in myself and in the world that surrounds me between 2016 and 2021 are stark. Acid Rain II’s existence is partially a celebration of coming this far in life, but more importantly a confrontation of the frightening world I’ve inherited as an autistic adult as well as the dissection of my teenage beliefs. Acid rain to me back then was simply a consequence of straying away from some divine essentialist vision of society. Acid rain to me today symbolizes a self-inflicted rot, a paranoia that exists as a product of the reactionary. Corrosive breath dripping from the maw of an imperial dragon, a process that can be analyzed and conquered. Dull-toothed centrism and deference to authority give way to revolutionary fervor and surgical self-crit. Appreciation for art becomes a showcase in its wonders. Thus, the connections between this album and its predecessor are deliberate - down to the similar length, numbers of freestyles & instrumental cuts, and the numerous lyrical callbacks.

What you will hear is the culmination of my first major artistic journey. This queer emcee finally finishes their first molt and stands ready for the rain, raincoat equipped.
