Inferiority Complex by Illustrated Irony
The album was created throughout five years. Most of the vocals & writing were done in 2013/2014 and older. Tracks 13 & 16 were made several years even before that.
It was made for personal therapy and as a hobby and although I originally intended to keep it private and to myself, I had an urge as 2014 ended to just go ahead, sign-up for a bandcamp account and release it.
I understand that this music doesn't follow the rules of rap or rhyming, the writings doesn't come together perfect, and it was intended to be that way. All of the lyrics are available if you would like to read or just want to know about the madness that I talk about throughout the record - a fictional presentation.
Equipment credit goes to a controller/quarter keyboard Axiom 25, Stanton turntable, Vestax mixer & AKAI Professional on the instrumental newer joints.
Recently expanded this album to now include seven new instrumental tracks and a single (not mixed so you will need to adjust levels slightly) created in 2017/2018 using AKAI software more to come possibly. I've also re-ranged the overall look of the album since it was never made into a hardcopy allowing me to continue forward with it like a story.

Credits
Special thanks go out to my friends, family & girlfriend; although friends are distant at times, you are always with me and were inspirations to me finishing my first project, Inferiority Complex.
Salute to; Lacie Secore, Zach Crawford of Skysplitter Ink, Luke Lunn, Andrew Clingenpeel, Brendon Thomas, Colby Curtis (MC Dialect), Nick Holder (MC Topic), G.V. & Chris Nostrand, Colin Ladd, Brandon Bernier, Cliff Lasalle, Jim Cole & Travis (The Aberration), Robert Ronci (Es-k), and Louie La Hart (Lupo).
The continued support is extremely helpful and I appreciate any help now and for years to come. The support you have shown throughout the years when it comes to music and its connection to life has made this possible and made me motivated enough to start creating electronic music. I understand this type of electronic nerd rap isn't everyone's cup of tea, but please have the respect that I have worked hard on this and continue to put forth efforts in a direction similar to this.
The creation or this wouldn't have been possible without the use of a Dell computer (vostro), FL Studio 7, Adobe Audition, Vestax PMC-05 Pro SL mixer, Axiom 25, and Stanton STR8-80 turntables.
Thank you for the support in circulating this if you feel it is worth giving it a listen or feel others might enjoy it.
Please support local music, as I have always tried my best to show some love.
