about

this project came to me in the form of a spontaneous writing session after contracting covid to bring in the New Year of our Lord - 2022. i was already going through some hard times and major life changes so naturally, i spent the week fighting symptoms, making beats, and writing verses. we were anticipating the February '22 release of micro + macro at the time so we decided to shelf fever memes for a lil second.
