“Because you never know when the last one is” - Kyle Busch, last week Wow

when i hear people talk about what Nurture means to them, and how it’s affected their lives, i can’t tell you how happy it makes me.. i feel understood in all the ways you would hope for as artist; like my exact feelings have reached people, in the exact ways i wanted while making it. as a listener, i'd always wondered if my favorite artists could feel what i feel when i listen to their music; with Nurture, i’m CERTAIN that’s happening. i’m CERTAIN that you and me are feeling the same things when we listen to Nurture. it means a lot to me because that highly clear, unambiguous transmission of feeling, where very little is lost or misunderstood along the way, is what i'm always striving for as an artist. it's rare for me and precious to me happy 5th anniversary to this album. thank you to the people who love it... i hope people will continue to feel what i felt for many years to come

hey man sorry i can’t hang out rn i have to go on my suicide prevention walk. yea my walk to make sure i don’t suicide. should only take a few hours.

For those wondering why tons of artists and art enjoyers worldwide are collectively in mourning right now over this news, I will share my perspective. In any given market, once market dominance and vertical integration are achieved, its natural, imo, under capitalism that the remaining vectors of profit become (a) reducing expenses (e.g. mass layoffs, cutting corners and costs), (b) charging customers more, and (c) extracting whatever possible earnings from smaller entities & independent workers through nefarious IP law abuse. Just as with Spotify's investment in content ID detection AI in recent years, their latest acquisition of WhoSampled sadly comes as no surprise. It's just another reminder that we are in the throes of late stage capitalism. In a world where artists didn't get punished for having their sample sources revealed, places like WhoSampled would be universally appreciated and celebrated. We have nothing against music nerds. We have all the love in the world for the musicians that we source from. This isn't about you, and it's not really about us either, it's about corporate profits. My personal feelings on IP law aside, what this is going to inevitably do is punish a lot of artists and music enjoyers alike. Sampling isn't a lazy crutch that involves nothing but aggressive theft; don't let bs pro-capitalist propaganda lead you down these antiquated, bootlicking paths of thinking. Don't find yourself rooting for my lords, when they shake hands with the ones that own you.
