The highly talented Charlotte emcee known as WELL$ has released The Way I&#8217;m Living Makes My Mom Nervous, his first project since 2014&#8217;s MTSYD: The Revenge of the African Booty Scratcher, which earned him a spot in our On The Come Up series. His new album is released via his Immaculate Taste label. The 11-track project includes the previously released tracks &#8220;Young Man&#8221; &#8212; a collab with NC indie duo Sylvan Esso, the &#8220;98 Juvie&#8221; remix with fellow Charlottean <a href="/profile/denirofarrar" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Deniro Farrar</a>, and &#8220;130,&#8221; which he recorded at HNHH Studios. 
Whereas WELL$&#8217; first project was written from the perspective of an African kid living in America, he says that The Way I&#8217;m Living Makes My Mom Nervous is &#8220;about how my American upbringing clashes with my African values,&#8221; and more specifically, how his current career path is a rejection of what his African parents had envisioned for their son in America. 
Aside from <a href="/profile/MetroBoomin" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Metro Boomin</a>, who produces on &#8220;Heaven&#8217;s Door,&#8221; all of the guest artists and producers are from the Immaculate Taste collective or are based in NC. The album is executive produced by WELL$ longtime collaborator Alec Lomami.
