Before the Szn: The Art of Standing in the Middle

Before the Season: The Art of Standing in the Middle

Every artist faces a moment where the noise fades, the lights dim, and they’re left standing in the quiet space between who they were and who they’re becoming. HOD V2 — The PreSZN: Unmastered is born from that exact moment — the intersection where reflection meets revelation.

Before any polished album or perfect mix, there’s a raw phase where the emotions are louder than the production. A place where every bar becomes a confession and every beat feels like a pulse. That’s what The PreSZN captures: the honesty before the armor is put back on.

This project lives in the cracks — in the ego you confront, the dreams you outgrow, and the systems you realize were never built for you in the first place. It’s about peeling back the layers we’ve built for survival: the bravado, the fast talk, the old trophies, the familiar patterns. When those fall away, all that’s left is truth. And truth, in its purest form, is uncomfortable… but powerful.

So why share the unmastered versions?Because this chapter is about transparency without exposure. Vulnerability without weakness. Vision without explanation. You’re not hearing unfinished work — you’re hearing work in transition, a sonic reflection of someone stepping into a higher version of himself.

This phase matters. It’s where perspective sharpens. It’s where noise becomes clarity. It’s where the path ahead becomes undeniable.

HOD V2 — The PreSZN: Unmastered isn’t just a preview; it’s the awakening before the evolution. And those who hear it now will understand the transformation when the final chapter drops.
