K-POP — TRAP, INK-STAMP PERCUSSION
● OUT NOW — MAY 1, 2026
The K-pop album. A strike team of sound. When the documentary voice answers back, it answers in trap drums, ink-stamp percussion, and four-part harmonies that land like a motion filed at midnight. Every track is a weapon, every hook is a receipt.
"Every hook is a receipt."
BROADWAY — CABARET, DARK VAUDEVILLE
● OUT NOW — MAY 13, 2026
The cabaret album. A system performing itself. Theatrical, sardonic, and dangerous in the Kander and Ebb tradition — Chicago 1975 rewritten as an instruction manual for how the machinery of family court learns to look like a show. If the villain knew you were watching, this is the album they would sing.
"The system is the show."
INDIE FOLK — SINGER-SONGWRITER, CINEMATIC BALLAD
▶ OUT NOW — STREAM FREE · SPOTIFY NEXT WEEK
The ballad album — once titled The Confession. A father alone, late at night, with a lamp and a notebook, and everything the system threw away: a child's chair, a worn toy lion, an envelope stamped DENIED. Indie-folk and cinematic ballads stripped to their frame. This is the album that breaks. It does not explain, it does not argue, it does not counter. It confesses.
"It does not argue. It confesses."
EXHIBIT A is an argument made in three musical languages.
When the system performs itself, cabaret answers. When the truth fires back, K-pop detonates. When the father is just a father, the ballad takes the room.
Three albums. Three voices. One record.
PAPA PRO SE
PAPA PRO SE is the songwriting and producing project behind EXHIBIT A. The name is the frame: a father, representing himself, making the record. The trilogy was written, produced, and released independently.
The work is informed by experience. It is not a documentary. It is a musical in three voices, written to be heard.
Written and produced by PAPA PRO SE.
Cover art and design by Abe Rosenwald.
Final Recording Cast List Pending.
