Commentary on “Spring Cleaning” from Probcause:

“Spring Cleaning” is a project originally titled “Once A Week” in which I wrote and recorded a new song, every week, for 10 weeks. I began doing this partially for myself, as an exercise in my craft- but also as a way to create an assortment of songs that experimented with genres outside the lines of traditional hip-hop. After the 10 weeks, I sat down with my DJ/Brother (DJ Grimmace) to select the best songs from “Once a Week,” and combine them with the best and most original songs from my catalog of unreleased material. This was the idea behind the title “Spring Cleaning.” I felt like I was cleaning out my closet during the process of piecing together this album- paring the gems from my back stock of music with my favorite songs from the new slew of tracks. I incorporated production from an expansive list of producers (both commercial and original) to create a quasi-mixtape that encompasses a wide range of styles and genres. This unique combination of music paints the picture of a 23 year old Chicago artist and rapper trying to avoid a 9-5 in a shitty economy- and maintain creativity within a struggling scene.”
