With the release of his debut album, Before The Tour Bus, Wells is hoping to shed light on the vice city’s burgeoning Hip Hop scene.

The album follows an eight-track mixtape of freestyles, Dear Summer, which he released in July 2016. Hosted by Don Cannon, the new project illustrates his undeniable hustle that he puts into creating a successful career. Before The Tour Bus includes features from G Herbo and Dave East, as well as production from C-Sick. Listen to the 10-track effort above.
