I’m in the middle of finishing a new album ‘DORK 2’ so I thought I’d post any new updates here.

[thread]
What I know so far:

- it’s about 10-11 tracks

- all new songs

- produced & mixed by @jakeonkeys

- easily the best songs we’ve done
Something I want to make very clear:

- I won’t promote this album like I’ve promoted albums in the past. Its tiring and a bit soul destroying. I hope that’s ok. The music will be there when it’s out and if you like it I’d love it if you can tell some friends. (And also me)
Please know I appreciate everyone that still checks for me. It still means a lot. But if I’m gonna release new music I don’t wanna feel like I’m selling something anymore. I need to make sure I’m happy. I just want people to enjoy and connect with the music.
I touch on this a fair bit in the album too. Anyways, more updates on the way. Talk soon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✌️" title="Siegeshand" aria-label="Emoji: Siegeshand"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd-Gesicht">
Update 17/5: I’m pretty sure I finished writing the last song tonight. I can’t record it till Wed/Thurs. Would be so good to have it done before next weekend. Spent all weekend listening to what I’ve got, love it all. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💫" title="Symbol für Benommenheit" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für Benommenheit">
Every album I’ve done has an ‘Unfinished’ track on it. I don’t know why but there’s a weird set of rules for these: has to be unused verses and/or voice memo from my phone, and also forgotten/unused beat.

Something about giving a scrapped idea a life that I really like?
Album track list so far. Not sure how I feel about two tracks back to back both named after NBA players but it works for now https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏻‍♂️" title="Achselzuckender Mann (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckender Mann (heller Hautton)">
Ok. I’ve got the first single ready to go. I want a few weeks lead time. I just don’t feel comfortable dropping new music right now. Much more important stuff going on. Everything is prepped though. When the time is right I’ll let u know.
First single for new album is out July 31.

I’m two posts into my Instagram comeback and I’m already over it.

It used to be my life making sure EVERYONE knew I was about to drop new music and now I’m just like meh, they’ll figure it out.

Twitter is all I need and use.
Here’s the first minute of Mutombo. Can’t believe this is the first song I’m releasing in almost 2 years.

Fun fact: I had this beat for 5 years and only got around to using it. The producer tried to scam me but that’s for another time. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐸" title="Froschgesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Froschgesicht"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☕️" title="Heißgetränk" aria-label="Emoji: Heißgetränk">
Preview of ‘Best Form’. Sorry I forgot I had this in my phone and forgot to post.
Artwork for the upcoming singles. 90s college theme.
Don’t forget Mutombo is out this Friday. That’s the promotion. That’s it.

Here’s">https://unitedmasters.com/m/RylandR... the alternate artwork that I made which I first liked then eventually hated:
Here’s the thing right. I’m happy. I’m content where my music got to in my time. Maybe I’ll keep making music, maybe I won’t. I love that I have that choice now. I built a really nice little fan base over that run. Maybe I’ll get more fans, maybe I won’t. It’s all good https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blaues Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Blaues Herz">
It& #39;s no secret I was naming the album & #39;DORK 2: Champion of the Losers& #39;, but now I& #39;m weighing up dropping the & #39;DORK 2& #39; and shortening to just & #39;Champion of the Losers& #39;.

What do you prefer?
Album Update (09/08):

- Thanks everyone for supporting Mutombo, it’s going great https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blaues Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Blaues Herz">

- Name shortened to ‘Champion of the Losers’. (The votes decided)

- I went back and re-did some verses because they were annoying me

- 2nd single out 4th Sept (more deets on that soon) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd-Gesicht">

Fav new track so far that I’ve dropped?
‘CODES’ drops this Friday on @spotify and everywhere else. I was going to tag Apple Music but they shit me. This song is like meaningful deep shit over the hardest beat ever made in existence.
Album Update - Single #3 drops tomorrow - ‘CODES’:

- When Jake sent me the beat it was called ‘Spirited Away’, that’s why I posted a pic from the movie on my IG

- Was one of the first songs I did after 18 months off

- One of the last songs I finished, had to tweak the chorus
Can I just say.

Fuck it feels good to be dropping music.

If you liked the singles you’re gonna love the album.

Please Stream/Support wherever you listen everything is available on @SpotifyAU @AppleMusic and also @Bandcamp.
Here’s the sources of streams for the new single for all the Stat Nerds out there. I think this is pretty incredible that we now have this info @spotifyartists https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">
