Here’s Volume Two of Five - Calm Conversations.
Each and every EP is and will be free. YES, FREE - just like the last part of my name. If y’all like what y’all hear, and you wanna put some money in the game to support, “The Return Of The Dirty Cymbals” is still for sale, and it’s still dope. Purchase a copy of that. As for DVS, details will be coming soon on how to purchase solo product from him.
You can download it here, or stream it AND download it here.
Here’s the credits (tracklist, feature info, etc.):
I know it’s been a while since I’ve put any new music out, but if you’re a fan, I thank you for your patience, and if you’re not a fan, hopefully this new stuff will turn you into one.
“A picture of two old farts - what’s the deal tREB?”
Here’s the deal: Those of y’all who heard my debut production album, “The Return Of The Dirty Cymbals” (or even if you’ve been checking for my work since the “Nigga I Know James” EP), should remember the name DVS Jackson.
Yup, that’s him.
Anyways, as a result of the great work we seemed to come up with when I slid him some beats, I decided we should do a whole album together.
I gotta admit, when I put out “The Return Of The Dirty Cymbals”, I was actually way more excited about getting this material I did and was doing at the time with DVS out. However, I felt like both of us as artists needed to be seen as individuals that came together to do a project, as opposed to a group who did this album and then went solo. DVS is dope in his own right and has killer tracks with other producers, which hopefully y’all will hear soon.
The original plan was to put out a full album with DVS - 13 tracks and be done with it - not too long, not too short. After I saw how the whole “Nigga I Know James” EP worked out, it seemed like a better idea to hit people with 5 tracks at a time in a package, and if they want more, they’ll ask, comment, tell friends and all that, and if they didn’t want more, they’d walk away. Also, the current structure of how music is bought and sold doesn’t seem very conducive to newer cats who are trying to build a name. I didn’t feel like sitting on this music until either of our names were ‘built’ so to speak.
So this here is Volume One of Five - the premier EP. Each EP will feature production from me, tREBLEFREE, as well as rhymes from DVS Jackson, along with a few special guests here and there. We’ve already got stuff in the can with See-Me-On of The Primeridian and MC Juice, the legendary freestyle champ who hails from Chicago.

As far as the whole Statler & Waldorf thing, well, DVS’s engineer Seano is actually is the one who came up with it. As I thought about it more though, both of us are bald, both of us are older than the traditional age of rap cats these days, and both of us are musically specific about what we listen to, so the whole idea just seemed to fit.
With ALL of that being said, here’s the 5W’s on this stuff:
