Pyrex Housecat by CENSORED dialogue

i spent a long time working on this album. it’s been 3 years since i released Afro Pessimist. a lot of shit happened in those 3 years. pain. betrayal. loss. grief. anger. rejection. i never planned to make Afro Pessimist. after i came out the closet and took a hiatus from music in 2018, i came back with 5 albums in mind. AP was not one of em. i was so angry that that project just erupted out of me. Pyrex was supposed to be the first. some of these songs’ first iterations date back to 2019. lot of things changed since then. i left Waco, i got sober, i met my girl, i started trying to keep my nose clean. i wanted to take this music shit seriously, but a lot of my experiences after getting recognition from that album poisoned me. i became disillusioned. i didn’t want to make music,
so i didn’t.
the real work on this album began in early 2022.

this album comes from a place of love. from a place of pain. from a burning desire to prove myself. over the last 3 years almost every booking or feature request was based on the ideas people had about me.
i don’t blame them. i made a depressed, abstract, and, conscious hip-hop album about being a hopeless black trans woman living in a small Texas town. it’s my only album. i don’t blame anyone for putting me in a box, but i hate that box. my mental health has been a lifelong battle, but i like to have fun. i love to sing.
i love to rage. i love to make my niggas laugh. ion take shit serious.
this isn’t Afro Pessimist. yes, there’s real shit (this is still a CENSORED dialogue album), but i urge you to listen thru. i don’t do TikTok. i hate playlists.
I LOVE ALBUMS.
listen to this joint front to back. laugh at what makes you laugh. cry with what makes you cry.
i just hope you see me as bigger than a box.

i appreciate everybody that made this album possible. Tommy, Waylin, Naj, Marcy, Krish, Jaja, Ashanti, BEARKID, Kani, Freger, Lucía, Rosei, and Rainey i love you all so so so so much. thank you for believing in me and helping me bring my first true vision to life.
