I played no Height shows throughout 2002. Shields had never stopped sending me tight beats, and I was slowly figuring out how I wanted to rap on them. Eventually, I began to feel like I was making headway. In winter of 2003, I played a show and premiered some new songs. There was an insane blizzard happening and no one really showed up, but it didn’t matter. As soon as I started, I felt like I went from being lost to knowing who I was and where I was going. Things kicked into high gear.
