Bless the Chill Gawd. Man just keeps a natural feeling/sounding vibe both reflective and introspective vibes.
There are few I feel like I can get lost in their work and they have such a specifically charmed experience with nature.
Bless the Gawd!

Backstory.
"The Uproot" was supposed drop after "Chill Gawd, Chill" but before Traversal. we're time traveling.
I ended up pulling songs from "The Uproot" to put on "Chill Gawd, Chill" and "Traversal" because it was too long, . Then.... my computer crashed,(again). and i lost all the original sessions for this unfinished album, so i was stuck with demo tracks i bounced out. so i sat, and i sat, and i've been sitting on this piece of my history because well.... AnalysisParalysis haha.
Chill Gawd, Chill was effortless, fun and comfortable, The Uproot was losing everything, breaking down, and building up again leveled up, and Traversal was my summary of the Journey thus far, and my way of sharing all the deep lessons I learned on the way.

"The Uproot"
Created in the wake of great struggle and turmoil, MC/producer Dutchyyy aka Dutchmassive’s latest project The Uproot is a testament to the power of music, family and personal resilience. In 2013, Dutch found himself on the tail end of a stint living in California. Facing the loss of his job, apartment and relationship, Dutch wound up in Tampa, Florida and eventually New York, couch-surfing, staying with friends and trying to figure out his next move.
“My man Sam Sleezy invited me to visit in NY. He spent months trying to motivate me to record new raps, but all I wanna to do was make beats. I recorded a few tracks that Apathy gave me (still unreleased) as well as my track for the SleezbagMekalekTape, meanwhile hiding outside alone in his hidden forest backyard. I was making beats, then my pops (who I had not spoken with in over a decade) invited to me visit him for the weekend in upstate NY, so I accepted, When I arrived I was surprised to find out my pops was the caretaker of one of the illest nature preserves in upstate NY on the top of the shawangunk ridge mountains.”
Tucked away in one of the most beautiful natural environments in the country, Dutch began to work on The Uproot, a rich and highly personal work that showcases his ability to craft moving instrumentals. One can’t help but envision the landscapes that inspired Dutch’s process.
“My back and front yard had ice caves, waterfalls, forests and scenery that looked like it came from Tomb Raider meets Lord Of The Rings, on top of that, my pops’ knowledge and collection of music is next level. So I spent a year alone, building with him, inspired by this sacred mountain, creating music all day and night long, in the attic, in the basement, near the waterfall. During this time, I rejected and pulled myself out of any beat collective and just wanted to focus on art without any politics period, I rejected what society had programmed into me.”
With tracks like “The Firelighter” and it’s woozy, dreamy, pitched-down vocal samples or the jazzy minimalism of “The Stone”, The Uproot is full of chilled-out beats and introspective sounds. Featuring guest spots from Simon Sverdlov & Equal Status, Son Of Ziggy, and Sleepyeyes, the album maintains a free-flowing, meditative tone. Putting his mastery at twisting and flipping samples with ecstatic fervor on full display, Dutchyyy has maintained his status as a formidable voice in the contemporary beat scene. Experiencing loss, resetting and rebuilding is never easy, but to pull so much beautiful, life-affirming music out of the process is a feat in it’s own right. Looking back from the other side of that time in his life and all its challenges, Dutch reminds us in his own words that creating The Uproot was all about “losing everything, breaking down, and building up again.”
Pass the Dutch is a collaborative compilation tape featuring the creative work of 34 exceptional artists, . Each track is a unique expression of solidarity and appreciation for Dutch Dutchyyy
