My name is Bryan, and my artist moniker is lefflur. I have been producing hip-hop/r&b/pop type music for a couple years and since I tend to record a lot of artists and engineer their work, I decided to step up to the mic and explore the thoughts in my head.

None of them were written before recording and I even designed the 3D cover art myself (instagram post attached below). Would love for you to hear it and hopefully share it with the world on your platform!

Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...
In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”
