about

This is an album made for late nights. Informed by modern R&B, Dance, Trap, Afrobeats, and Jazz. It has a lot of different ingredients but I promise they're all good for you.

THIS VERSION OF THE ALBUM INCLUDES BONUS TRACKS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON STREAMING SERVICES.

This album was inspired by artist like Kiefer, Alfa Mist, DaHeala, and Legendury Beatz.

About the title.
Believe it or not the title of this project is not a play on the name Free Tillman. My favorite opening line of a song is “We eat fish, toss salads, and make rap ballads” from “Fish” by Ghostface Killah. Is it a jail reference, drug slang or is it meant to be taken literary? I’ve always taken it literally but honestly I never want to know the answer.

Before I started making any music I got it into my head that I wanted to make an album called Fish, Toss Salads & Rap Ballads. Once I started working I realized I was making songs that wouldn’t sound right on an album together so I decided to make 3. I also decided to leave out the word “toss” because Chris Rock ruined the phrase “tossed salad” for me.

So now I needed something that would tie everything together. I went back to Ironman and I landed on the song “All That I Got is You”. Specifically the phrase "In the summer, free lunch held us down like steel”. This phase has always stuck out to me for 2 reasons:

1. I too was on the Summer Food Service Program as a kid and I never really appreciated it until I heard this song.

2. I didn’t realize there were other people that had the same experience as I did and it instilled in me the importance of sharing your experiences and the importance of art in general.

So, that’s why the album is called Free Lunch: Fish, Salad & Rap Ballads.
