Kwamé Vol.01 is a compilation of moods that I've been going through expressed through house music. I grew tired of creating the same style of music and decided to branch out and find myself again in a new lane. Each song represents conversations I've had with others and myself; themes of love, appreciation, doubt, miscommunication, self-care, and solitude.

Let's Be Clear

Selfish

Inspired by my travels to Japan after getting married in 2017. I was in a place where I lost the joy of making music and was on the verge of quitting. I had to remember to find my light and draw from the beauty of life to move forward.

This is the journey of a boy who had his light stolen and now wants to regain it.

Find your light.

"In February of this year, Curbside Jones went to work on Gyakusou, Vol. 1, a three-song EP, the first release in a set of three, named after the Japanese term for "running in reverse."

Curbside notes that the Japanese track team of the same name will run in the opposite direction as a representation of their rebel identity and going against the status quo. "I took that idea, of going against the grain, going against the norm. People think it's moving backwards, not forward, but the EP is forward-thinking," Curbside says. "It's taking American rap and putting it over Japanese instrumentation."

The EP was made in collaboration with Japanese producer Ballhead who he discovered while watching Jazzysport Kyoto sessions.

Wolves' Clothing is a spin on the tale of the wolf pretending to be a sheep to get by in the world. What if the sheep wanted to become the wolf and shed stereotypes and stigma that comes with being said creature? The sheep has experienced things such as- hyper-masculinity, death, failed relationships, being denied by social institutes, and internal conflict. A sheep goes into a thrift store and finds clothes that a wolf once wore and decides to buy them, thus embodying the persona and mindset of the wolf. This EP contains some of my most transparent music I've released in years and I'm very proud to showcase this work.
