My name is Alej.

I make hip-hop websites and I love finding and sharing dope hip-hop x tech creativity.

Projects

Everything on the cover of Logic's EVERYBODY. Collab with Tony.

An interactive network graph of the self-referential connections on Kendrick Lamar's DAMN.

Play every ad-lib of Migos' "CULTURE". Collaboration with the homie @daeclan.

Play every gosh darn bar of "Coloring Book" tweet by tweet to the music.
