Art Notes:
“This piece was the result of an idea in my head that a Symphony needed to be felt as much as it should be heard. Even the lightest of instruments would serve its part in the scheme of the show. The effect should reverberate through you.
Izzy and I had choreographed together in the past using masks for one of our hip-hop showcases for a piece we jokingly called Magic Sauce. Till this day I still think of it as one of my favorite routines and remember the process that went into making it work so well. Dedication and passion.
The theme was a magic show of the hip hop nature. Mysterious and captivating. We wanted to capture those feelings in our own style. Magic Sauce was the result of a blending of personalities and styles. This is the feeling I wanted to replicate in the artwork for Symphony. Each light in the sky holds its own rhythmic beat and explodes at intervals that manifest melodies. The Conductor shapes the world to match his passion.”

lyrics
Thank you for downloading/listening/being interested Symphony.
Symphony - sym•pho•ny/simfənē/ - An elaborate musical composition for a full orchestral sound,
Including large-scale vocal work and instrumental melody; characterized by a harmonious combination of elements.
This mixtape/album is a culmination of multiple talents, time, and trust. Symphony started in 2008 on a solo note, but ends with the inclusion of many. I’ve always understood that you are defined by the company you keep; and my family consists of some of the most creative, passionate, energetic, intelligent, and musical people you’ll ever encounter. To say that “My favorite artists are my friends” is a huge blessing and understatement. Symphony consists some of the best in rap, R&B, slam poetry, freestyle, pop, classical, and jazz. There is something in here for everyone. If you can relate to love, hate, poverty, power, pop culture, pride, classics, new school, and the hip hop steez, then there is a song here for you.
Many thanks to the musical talent who put their efforts to teach, to learn, to compete, to complete, to perform, to produce, to record, to write, and to be an inspiration: Daniel Hype Lopez, Jimmytheloch, Shift the MC, M Dela Cruz, I&I, Marvillous Beats, Jesse Scott, The Intangible Collective, Shawn Holbrooks and HBrooks Audio, The Cosmonauts, Ayinde, Loveless, Bamboo MC, B-Nice, Zev, Hannah Amoako, Erica Summerlin, Jae Eroles, Janie Loo, and Matt Gunther.
