Rapper / Producer / Singer / Spoken Word Poet

I've been working on an experimental hip-hop project called "ultra" for six years, which currently sits at 133 songs, about six hours of music. Noteworthy elements include: radical interdisciplinary synthesis, in both songwriting and my approach to studying at university; incorporation of upper division of academic material into rap verses; spoken word poetry's role in the writing style; the relevance of the collection of Broadway karaoke covers to the project; the synth-punk song; and many more. It's a project meant to be dived deep into, so I encourage anyone to shuffle the playlist and see what emerges. Also, here's a Spotify playlist with previous podcast conversations: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3j2VZYdJcSI2QxUDPSHSdg?si=mGkqYWvLQxGz20s-Vehctw
