Trigger warning: honesty.
I wrote “Replace You” about things I never talked about growing up.
Trauma… survival… trying to understand my mother…
And the things mental illness stole before we could fix them.
Here’s why I HAD to make this song.

Release date: MY BIRTHDAY 12/05/2025
Thank you in advance for hearing me out.

🎥 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🎤
I’ve been given the green light to document the 2025 Rubber City Comedy Festival. We will be capturing the real hustle, laughter, and stories that happen behind the curtain. This ain’t just a highlight reel, it’s about the people, the pressure, the passion.
I’ll be filming interviews, greenroom moments, daily producer diaries, and everything in between. Full sets won’t be recorded. Just the real stuff that makes this fest one of a kind.
If you're performing and prefer not to be on camera, no worries at all. Just let me know! Respect and consent always come first.
Let’s make something dope together. Akron, I’m coming for you. 🎬

🎤 Yo, Doubters & Scroll-By Critics
— Lemme Holler at You for 60 Seconds
I get it. Another creator yelling “SUPPORT MY PATREON!” can feel like a telemarketer hiding in your phone.
But hear me out:
• Zero dollars = a free follow tier. Tap the button, lurk forever, no card info, no random charges.
• You’ll watch a multi-award-winning filmmaker/comic (me) and a Lolla-bound guitar shredder (Huebline) cram into a Queens basement for 72 straight hours and try not to murder each other while creating an EP.
• You control the chaos: vote on samples, song titles, which slice of forgotten pizza becomes breakfast. Claim that power elsewhere on the internet, I dare you.
• Daily highlight reels drop even if you miss the livestream. (Translation: you keep your job and your FOMO-free street cred.)
• Worst case? You witness the most entertaining train wreck since Fyre Fest, minus the soggy sandwiches.
• Best case? You help birth genre-bending music and forever brag: “I was there before the basement mold turned legendary.”
Look, algorithms are stingy uncles. Following the Patreon is basically you telling them, “Hey, this oddball experiment matters.” That tiny click fuels cameras, caffeine, and maybe a new soundtrack for your gym playlist.
So smash patreon.com/basementlockin, hit “Follow,” and watch comfort zones explode in real time.
If it sucks, you can unfollow and roast us in the comments — I’m a comic; roast sessions are cardio.
Catch you in the basement.
— Hood Rawlz 🟢
WHERE TO WATCH
Patreon — patreon.com/basementlockin Follow free today; full access tiers start at $5.
KEY DATES
* Sept 12-15, 2025 — 72 hour livestream from Queens, NY
* Oct 15, 2025 — EP + mini-doc delivered to patrons / public rollout begins
