Reign, you mentioned that the album was made by accident. Can you elaborate on how the initial concept evolved into a full album?

Accidental because I engaged Asum Garvey to work with him as a sound engineer. I have a studio setup at home and needed help with recording and mixing vocals. We started recording for a single I was to release but I could see Asum 'vibing' and writing as he was recording me. I told him to bring the smoke and we ended up with the first collaboration. That went to three songs, to EP to album.
