To clarify this persona characterization, I do not drop GenAI rap diss tracks. My 2025 album was simply titled GenAI.

And the Voice on the album, Circus of a Lifetime | Vitruvian MAN. My creative process is entirely authentic and non-traditional due to living with Chronic ADHD, Chronic Dyslexia, and Dysgraphia. Because traditional writing or typing does not work for me, I record my lyrics as true freestyle directly into the microphone to capture raw energy and soul. This raw work is then refined by my long-time 6 albums, with collaborator and 2st time winner of a 2026 Grammy Winner for Spoken Words Artist Mad Skillz Mixing Engineer for " "Grammy-nominated mixer and engineer Kid Cus. Additionally, any assertions that I am campaigning or handing out cookies outside dispensaries are entirely incorrect and unsubstantiated. ...We are officially moving to sue this organization for these defamatory and fake rumors.
