Unseen NY was my first introduction to the internet hip hop realm. These tracks were compiled from 2011 to 2015 and give a look into my development as an artist. Those days were a fun challenge when SoundCloud was a dope community of artists sharpening their swords off one another and most importantly, adding on to the culture despite going largely unnoticed. I met ferocious emcees like Cor Stidak and Mookneto. I met artists that could do it all like Delight & Supreme Scientist7 of the Deity Complex. Great producers like Hellblazer, DirtyDef, and RenRok. Peace to the home team Matt and Track. Peace to JP and Ben Hedibi.. Jayy Lee with the wizardry as well. Hip hop is universal and led me down many artistic roads. It’s been a rough last few years, and music has been on the back burner. So before i move forward, I had to reflect with this one.
“I moved from Queens to Long Island back to Queens back to Long Island.. in between it’s been inspiring”
Whether Don the Jeweler/Don Galactica/Don Ferrigno or originally Unseen NY, the man of many monikers remains the same. Don is a panaramic photo of 90s underground late night hip hop, capturing all the elements he absorbed to build his own unique soundscapes.
