These piano sketches are improvisations. To conjure them up, I spread my fingers out on the keys and randomly but with purpose move them around until I find something that feels good or interesting. If it feels really good I will try to repeat it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot name which notes, keys or chords that I\u2019m playing. I simply like the sound and mechanics of piano playing. Some of my favorite piano music composers and players that inspire me are Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Philip Glass, Stephen Sondheim, Joni Mitchell and Vince Guaraldi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"instagram-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJSpB3rP5qe\/embed\" width=\"320\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The rap legend added: \u201cThese piano pieces weren\u2019t recorded with the intention of presenting them in any formal way to the public. They were personal, at home recordings. I would sometimes text them to my family and friends. Pardon the sound quality, they were all recorded with my iPhone sitting directly on the piano or my laptop microphone with the exception of \u2018Blueberries\u2019. (recorded in studio).<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-player\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ad-background\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/assets\/img\/DX-City_Silhouette.png\" alt=\"HipHopDX | Rap &amp; Hip Hop News | Ad Placeholder\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-indicator-container\">\n<div class=\"ad-indicator\">AD<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"border\">\n<div class=\"ad-border-top\">\n<div class=\"left-border\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-loading-text\">\n<p>AD LOADING&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"right-border\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-border-bottom\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"vc-player\" class=\"video-player-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-indicator\">AD<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cMost of these were recorded in Texas. The house my son and I were renting had no furniture at all.

The original title for it was \u2018The Best Worst Rap Album In History\u2019 and here is an excerpt from the original liner notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2019It\u2019s jokingly the worst rap album in history because there are no lyrics on it at all. It\u2019s the best because it\u2019s the free-est emotionally and best I\u2019ve felt personally. It\u2019s the best because it\u2019s like a palette cleanser for me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rapper and occasional actor also promoted the EP at the Met Gala as he turned up at the annual fashion event carrying a piano on his back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
