Against The Grain

I feel 28

Growth doesn’t always make noise. what’s something in your life growing quietly right now?

Back in November 2020, Mvstermind hit me up to come hang while he worked on his Yaris at The GEM.
The space wasn’t a studio yet — it was raw. No soundproofing, no setup… just a heater, a fan, a ladder, and a whole lot of vision.

I remember thinking even then — this place is gonna be something.
There was this energy in the air, like we were standing inside a dream that hadn’t fully taken shape yet.
The GEM wasn’t just about music, it was about building something bigger — a hub, a home base, a space for art, collaboration, growth.

Moments like this feel small at the time — but they’re everything.
The early grind. The figuring-it-out stage.
I document this stuff because it matters. The process is the story.
And this one’s just getting started. Swipe —> to see The GEM in use

P.S. I Love You 🤟🏼
