0% ILLUMINATION, my album

0% ILLUMINATION tells a story

about a Junior in high school who's just rich and living life, making a living off the songs that he's making. By the way, he's making some money. He's been RIAA certified gold. Anyway, the first four to five-ish songs are just him describing his lifestyle and just having good times doing whatever he wants. But in the fifth song, iguana, that's where he starts to show hints of developing a crush on this girl. Then, in the sixth song "bumpin pax. inna BMW", they're both in love and they're in a relationship. but then you came (don't go away) and bumpin pax. inna BMW are both songs of strong emotion and connection between the two in the relationship. Then, after a year she leaves. She says she doesn't love him anymore and he's heartbroken. The next three songs which are bumpin pax. by myself, i don't care at all, and i could've prevented this, are songs of heartbreak, sadness, missing his ex and even being in denial a little bit. But at one point, he realized he doesn't need her. In fact, he needs no one. He starts building this hatred for the world and everything around him. The last song SHE MADE ME VAMP  show his "NARCISSIST" phase where he just goes completely insane. He has very narcissistic thoughts and does a lot of narcissistic things, he's breaking the law and doing all types of stuff. He doesn't care anymore. The moral of this album is that one female or partner is all it takes to change who you are and how you view the world for the rest of your life. Be careful with who you choose to be with.

DELAYS, DELAYS, DELAYS...

Originally, the album was planned to be released on July 5, 2024, but when it came around that time, the results with the album were disappointing. It then got delayed to some time in August. This deadline wouldn't be fulfilled either. After a lot of time, the final decision would be made in September where the release date would be November 1st, 2024. This was only pushed back one week to November 8th, 2024, so consistent distributing to all platforms would be promised. On the day of when the album was supposed to be dropped, however, copyright issues about the album began to arise, starting with bumpin pax. by myself. The sample in the intro wasn't cleared, but the sample in the end was. That's fine, the sample was removed and the album still didn't release. Why? Because now there were problems with the beat used in "KUSH". It took around 3 whole weeks to clear that song. There were also problems with the song "but then you came (don't go away)" since most of the producers on the song weren't paid yet, and the payment also took around a week. But after a month of struggle, the album finally released to the public on December 6th 2024, with the songs "I WONDER WHY" and "but then you came (don't go away)" that were worked on a lot after November 8th which was when the album was originally supposed to drop. It's also ironic how those are the best songs on the album, almost as if it was a sign.
