Often described as the X-Men school for lyricism, the online academy helped Brown hone his craft, which finds its fullest expression on Waxing In Mecca, his full-length collaborative album with legendary Brooklyn production duo Da Beatminerz.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaxing In Mecca is both statement and philosophy. The title is a nod to the phrase “waxing poetic”, the act of delivering dense, elevated lyricism. The album was written and recorded in Harlem, a cultural mecca of NYC. The album title also reframes the idea of boom bap’s relevance, asserting that rather than waning, the sound is in a constant state of growth, expanding in complexity and impact, shining brighter with each new generation of artists committed to the craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically cohesive yet thematically expansive, Waxing In Mecca moves from deeply personal narratives like love and parent-induced trauma, to expansive conceptual ideas like quantum physics and social commentary. Anchored by meticulous songwriting and a clear artistic vision, the album doesn’t chase trends—it builds worlds, rewarding listeners who return again and again to uncover new layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIntro\u003cbr\u003eWaxing In Mecca (feat.
