- Key Tracks: "Ignorance is Bliss," "P&P," "Hoes & Tweed."
- Legacy: The tape bridges the gap between his underground buzz and mainstream potential.

- Key Tracks: "The Heart Part 5," "United in Grief," "Father Time" (feat. Sampha), "Auntie Diaries," "Mother I Sober" (feat. Beth Gibbons), "Count Me Out"
- Concept: A two-act play. The "Big Steppers" are the guilt and trauma he carries. He confronts his family’s codependency, his therapist, his trans uncle, and his own toxic masculinity.
- Controversy & Praise: "Auntie Diaries" sparked debate over its use of slurs and pronouns. "Mother I Sober" is his confession of childhood sexual abuse. It is not a "fun" album—it is an exorcism.
