the First Fist to Make Contact When We Dap is Ferreira's first LP since 2022's 5 to the Eye with Stars. On this new tape above, he attacks a bevy of soundscapes. While the project does sound very random and scatter-brained, this a way for him to express how free he felt recording this tape. In the bandcamp description about this 12-track offering, Ferreira had this to say regarding the process. "I wanted to make a work with bun [Tamura] that highlights the trust of the rapper / producer relationship. Tamura’s compositions pushed me like nothing yet has, his conception of what my sound could be left me needing to actualize it. I followed blindly and excitedly."
