“foster” - Aurelio Valdez
started working on this project right after releasing my last one. Raps written from 2023-2025 but the idea came to me in 2021 but grew beyond my intention. I’m really proud of the curation surrounding this tape, like with everything and everyone involved. It’s a short project but extremely intentional
This is not only a continuation of my personal journey but a reminder of the importance of storytelling, reflection and empowerment. Especially relevant today when we’re witnessing my people being stripped away from their lives and what makes up who we are.
to not only be fostered but to FOSTER…where do we go from here?
