What’s up y’all — This is Rhymewave. I’m asking for a little help to bring something really special across the finish line.

I’ve got a new album that’s basically done, and without question, it’s the best music I’ve ever made. I’ve never been this excited about a project, and I have big plans for how I want to release it. The truth is, doing this right costs money — and making independent music in 2026 isn’t cheap. This project has real momentum, but to give this album the release it deserves, it means investing more than I can do on my own.

I’m raising funds for the final steps: professional mixing and mastering, album artwork and merch, two to three music videos, a real promo and marketing campaign, and a proper release party.

I make all of my own beats and record all of my own vocals. Up to this point, I’ve kept everything extremely low-budget — doing my own mixing, shooting very few videos, and keeping promo almost entirely organic. I’ve been doing it this way for a long time, and now it’s time to take this music to the next level.

The beautiful part is, I already know the people who can help make that happen. Friends and collaborators I trust — real professionals who believe in this music and deserve to be paid for their craft. I believe deeply in investing in art, and more importantly, showing support for things we don’t want to disappear.

This album means everything to me. It’s 12 tracks. I’m singing more, playing guitar on four songs, and my homie Danjo is on banjo, mandolin, and dobro. There are new sounds, new tempos, new flows — deep ideas balanced with playfulness — and I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into every nanogram. My goal is simple: to inspire and empower the community around this music. I truly believe this album will do that.

Your support goes directly to the people making this vision real — my brother on artwork and visuals, Torin Frost on music videos, Conscious Growth on marketing, and a trusted engineer to bring the mixes to their full potential. With your help, I can pay these artists and creators what they deserve, and keep that energy circulating right back into the community.

If my music has ever moved you, inspired you, or made you feel more at home— this is a chance to be part of the process. Every contribution helps turn this album into everything it’s meant to be.

Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for supporting independent art.
