New album Goyard Ibn Said:

An anthological gaze into the desires and downfalls of a successful rapper and the exploitation of the black experience. Each song represents a scene in the act with Luke Dash being used to introduce each act. The first act highlights the glory and spoils of success while the second act highlights the tragic experiences that were faced to get there. The album ends with Goyard succumbing to a sorta mental crisis (foreshadowed by the glitchy parts of the album) from the pressures of these tragedies. As Luke explains, he awakens to applause and chooses to overlook the reasoning behind his breakdown as the reception to his work is valuable enough. However, there’s glitches in the applause at the end. Alluding that the tale has yet to end. And alternatively, if the listener is unsatisfied with the ending. The album ends with “You Can Skip This Part” where Goyard comes to a more conscious realization of his role as entertainer and artist.
