about

The Graduation Demos is a mixtape based around instrumental hip-hop beats I made during my final months of middle school leading up to my graduation. The mixtape also marks a year-long journey I've made through my music career and shows how much progress I've made while effectively being a reminder that I can always get better.

Dedicated to Robbie, Andrew, Josh, Tokyo, Lav, Tak, Haylee, Ash, Damien, Ringo, my math teacher and my mother

Inspired by:

JAY-Z - 4:44
Kanye West - The College Dropout
Outkast - Speakerboxxx / The Love Below
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Drake - Scorpion
J Dilla - Donuts
Kanye West - The Life of Pablo

Included with your download is 7 images for The Graduation Demos.
