He put his life on the line just to get betrayed from lack of trust!

Lynx as an artist is very organic because he gives you what he’s going threw at the time !

4) What’s your process like for making music? Do you have a set routine or does it vary track by track?

Lynx starts off first by acknowledging what he wants to make, how he feels at the time. It has to be in a dark room .

The nightlife over there was turnt!! S/0 to GMC
