In January 2020, IMHOT3P followed up his 2016 EP with his first full length album, “OASIS”. Three years in the making, the project is entirely written, produced, arranged, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by IMHOT3P. Featuring a prominent dose of live guitar, synths, and entrancing production, the project seamlessly weaves together RnB, Electronic, Indie, and Hip Hop elements.

HotBoxTimeMachine is a stoner’s paradise. It’s one of the most nostalgic pieces of work to come out in recent time. This project is very cohesive and is referred to as a “television show with multiple seasons” and it really lives up to that claim. The show stars a character named “Earl GreenPearl” & it follows him around the early 2000s as he does various things. The best part is, everything takes places in the HotBox. The project is comprised of 17 tracks with 3 of the tracks being skits and 3 tracks being episodes centered around GreenPearl. There’s even a theme song for the show x a song made by EGP himself.

I made this project because I had to get out content. From an expressive, emotional, and creative standpoint this project was necessary. This project was more so inspired by single thoughts and emotions versus any single event or situation. I write my music in pieces, rarely is it one song at a time so arranging it with the music was definitely an obstacle. I view my music as art. I think sometime's although we are called artists, we view our music as more of a product for consumption versus a masterpiece to be admired. I'm not really concerned with the consumption, charts, rankings, etc. But more so how does my music make my listener feel. I think a lot of people are desensitized and I once said that that they're lucky because empathy is intense. I want my listener to empathize with me, vibe with me. I want them to feel what I was feeling in that moment, in that verse. I want it to be an emotional experience, one for observation, and reflection.
