"Initially slated for a spring release, the album was postponed indefinitely when Razah was admitted to the hospital last April with a health emergency. Having since learned how to walk, talk, and eat again, Razah and label Nature Sounds finally feel comfortable releasing the new album, and in a show of solidarity between artist and label, Nature Sounds has announced they will be donating all proceeds from the project to Razah’s family as the respected wordsmith continues to recover."
