Con(temporary) by Mad Keys

This is my first ever album. You can call it a beat tape or an instrumental tape. I put a lot of emotion and energy into this piece as well as exemplified who I am in this project. For those who don't know me quite well or anything, this album is who I am.

It's a free download! Feel free to donate if you wish, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, I love you for just listening and actually vibing with me!

Let me break down the album title...

Contemporary is a modern art style. We all know about the art style. The reason why the word (temporary) is in parentheses is to signify that this is where I am as a creator. As artists, we all reach that point where we say "YO, THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE DONE". Growth doesn't plateau, it proceeds with fruit. You have more things to create, more art to experience, more things to learn! Your work signifies the point of where you currently stand until you begin your next project or achieve your next goal. God has shown me that not just in this album, but in my faith as well. Hence the name of the album, Con(temporary).
