Known to keep a composition notebook in his back pocket since middle school, 'Track decided in 2012 that he wouldn't be the playground legend that never made it to the league. He launched a weekly campaign akin to Kanye's Good Fridays entitled 'Track Tuesdays which built his buzz as a respected lyricist within the DMV. Soon 'Track found himself among Oddisee, Phil Ade & Fat Trel on Brightest Young Things' Top 25 DMV Artists to Watch in 2013. Then 'Track turned up the heat with an onslaught of captivating videos; the first being a collaboration with Complex Mag featured, DC area outfitter The Good Kin entitled "Mr Freeze".
After stealing the show on the popular posse cut, there was no looking back. 'Track then took the time to craft his first project Above the Rim which draws inspiration from the 1994 classic film starring 2Pac & Marlon Wayans. The compilation showcases 'Track collaborating with both acclaimed DC area producers & cherry picking instrumental project gems from the likes of !llmind, Flying Lotus, Esta, Like & Cardo.
