This album takes place in "District Nine" which is the municipal district of Indianapolis which I grew up in. The area from 38th and College to 46th and College is where most of the experiences talked about on the album take place. Essentially, this is my journey towards leaving home, emotionally and physically, and getting away from the negative environment I grew up in. Through listening to the songs, you will here experiences and themes which relate to my youth and the things I've seen and done. I produced most of the album, with some production from my good homie Mandog, and also 9th Wonder, Havoc of Mobb Deep (Survival in the District), and DJ Premier's classic "NYSOM Part II" instrumental on "State of Mind" Also, "An Odyssey" features scratches from Indianapolis DJ, Niko Flores.
