Welcome!
This project exists because of a name change.
Since age 14, I created under the name GABETHEGOAT1K. I am now 26. Those years shaped everything I know about music, design, photography, storytelling, and myself. As I begin releasing work as GBRL, I didn’t want those years to disappear into an old hard drive or become disconnected from the artist I’ve become.
This museum is my bridge between those two names.
Every song here represents more than a recording. They’re snapshots of different versions of me, tied to specific places, people, experiments, failures, friendships, and breakthroughs. Alongside each piece, you’ll find the stories behind its creation, the artwork that accompanied it, and the people who helped bring it to life.
I also wanted to document the work itself. Too often, music appears online with very little context about who created what. Here you’ll find credits, photographs, design work, production notes, and the creative process behind each piece.
At this point in life, I feel more connected to myself than I ever have before. Becoming GBRL isn’t about abandoning who I was. It’s about carrying everything I learned into the next chapter with greater clarity and intention.
Thanks for visiting the museum.
I hope you leave knowing me a little better than when you walked in <3

1- Intro
Created in a hostel on Clifton, by the park. This particular night, I was in a heightened state from a magical fungus, and one of the couples I was sharing the apartment with (late-stage capitalism at its finest, bro, cause why are there 6 adults in a Brooklyn apartment?) began arguing very loudly in the kitchen. Thankfully, they were from Wales, so their accents made the situation more entertaining because I hadn’t heard Welsh rage before that day.
The commotion disrupted the atmosphere, so I put on “Doin’ Time” by Sublime to relax me. I had only discovered the song earlier that week, at a bar where I lived. I remember Shazaming it immediately because I was in the middle of making a chill song playlist.
In my attempt to regulate my nervous system, I went from YouTube to Logic Pro and started cooking. And now it’s the opening track to this collection!

2- L2TB
Created in a small room off Linden Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens during one of the hottest stretches of the year. The room was unplanned, so there were no vents, so I was essentially paying $1100 to sleep in a hot box. I remember routinely waking up drenched in sweat, so I figured I might as well make something. Cause I’m not just gonna be miserable and do nothing to make myself feel better.
By the time I recorded it, I had already made hundreds of songs. I had all the technical skills to make good songs, but I still felt like I was searching for my own voice. This was one of the first records where I stopped hearing my influences and started hearing myself.
This is the newest of the music you’ll hear in this project. This felt like a strong song to intro you guys to me :)

“I got what these niggas ain’t
I do what these niggas can’t
Cashin out on all my talent bitch I’m laughin to the bank
Yeah,
Bitch, I’m laughin to the bank
Yessir
I got what these niggas ain’t
I do what these niggas can’t
I’m the GOAT, ain’t no debate
Please don’t hate, feel motivation
Uncle Grandpa, no relation
See the world for recreation
See the vibe, you can’t replace it
Ain’t no rear views on this spaceship
So I’m never lookin back.
Stand alone, these folks be whack
When you leave, just don’t come back
I will never backtrack
Guess I’ll never have that
Like I’m lookin for an island
And my name is Flapjack
All these setbacks set up comebacks
Please don’t come back when I’m up
And if it’s up, just know it’s stuck
I give my opps bad luck
I live my life too rough
I’m too trim, too him
Real slim, too tuff
Nice bars
All dope, all heat, no fluff
Too much motion in the ocean, swear I do too much
Swear I do too much
Cause
Cause I

Hey, hey
I got what these niggas ain’t
I do what these niggas can’t
Fuck these niggas talkin bout
Let’s hope Allah set em straight
Fore it really be some straightenin, like some pressed-down silky waves
Live my whole life on a wave
Guess that’s why I be so wavy
Life too crazy
Need to find some meditation
But I found some medication
Now I’m high as constellation
It be feelin good half the time
Other half the time I’m vacant
Stimming out, yeah I be bakin
Deep fried, I’m funnel cakin
Walkin’ ’round this world deeply fried,
Fried deeply
I feel the sun on my skin
Got some hydration nearby
I know I’m gonna be alright
I got somethin these folks ain’t got
I been doin shit these folks ain’t done
Honestly and truly, I’m the one.

3- Higher
This song reminds me of a very specific chapter of my life.
I had just gotten back to Atlanta from NYC after an 8-month trip, and this was my first time living in a place in Atlanta that isn’t my mom’s house. Everything felt new. For the first time, I had the place to bring my people, I had all my equipment and all the energy in the world!
During that period, sessions happened almost every day. I’d grab a twelve-pack of Cayman Jack Margaritas, some za, and invite folks from the scene I was around at the time. Music became less of a solitary practice and more of a community event.
I had this beat sitting on my hard drive for a while before Stevoo recorded the “let me take you higher” section. The next week we showed Tristin, and he wrote and recorded his verse in like 15 minutes.
This stint in Atlanta felt like a creative winter camp!

4-N2U
This piece began as part of a much longer experiment.
At the time, I was spending a lot of my creative energy exploring what could happen when familiar sounds were pushed beyond their original context. I don’t typically approach music with a clear destination in mind; I treat the process more like wandering. Sometimes you just gotta move your hands and follow the sounds for real.
The original version was roughly four minutes long and eventually became part of the foundation for what would later evolve into The Fool’s Journey. For this project, I separated that larger piece into two shorter interludes.
Built around a manipulated vocal from “Higher,” this track reflects a creative philosophy I’ve carried for years: curiosity before perfection.
Sometimes an idea arrives with a clear purpose.
Sometimes you simply move your hands and trust your taste.

5- Hiyahhh
Like N2U, this piece emerged from the same four-minute experiment built around a sample from “Higher.” It would eventually become the introduction to The Fool’s Journey.
At the time, my life felt like a constant transition. I was outgrowing my environment while simultaneously trying to improve it. The person I wanted to become seemed to exist on the other side of some invisible barrier, and every attempt to reach him was met with resistance.
Looking back, I realize I was experiencing a kind of grief.
Many of the people, habits, places, and ideas that felt familiar no longer aligned with who I was becoming. Letting go was necessary, but that didn’t make it easy.
Years later, I’m grateful for many of the decisions I made during that period. At the time, though, it felt less like growth and more like climbing a mountain of Legos barefoot towards fog, hoping the beach is on the other side.

I been fuckin wylin
Pave a road up on this mountain
I been fuckin climbin
It’s been on my mind
I’ma walk em down
I’ma trooper, tell my mama I’ll be fine
Mama, I’ll be fine
It’s been on my mind
I’ma take the time
I’ma get it right
Take em for a ride
Walk before you fly
Walkin up with pride, I’ma take em high
I been gettin high, I been gettin by
They ain’t gettin’ by on me
Got my spirit high, I done theorized
That I’m who I’m posed to be
I ain’t wastin time
I been makin time
All it take is time
I ain’t wastin time
I been makin time
All it take is time”

6- Bruce Banner
Bruce Banner is the final form of the series of experiments that began with “Higher,” continued through N2U and Hiyahhh, and eventually transformed into something entirely its own.
By this point, I had already spent years making music, learning production, recording vocals, writing songs, and figuring out what worked for me. Instead of trying to fit into a style, I was beginning to trust my instincts and follow my own energy more so.
The title felt appropriate because the song captures a transformation. Bruce Banner and The Hulk aren’t different people. It’s the same person with the restraints removed.
This was one of the first times I cooked something and thought, “Wow, this is what my spirit sounds like.”

“I been on the grind
Think I need some fuckin time
Just to clear my motherfuckin mind
But I gotta get a dime
I ain’t sellin time
I been sellin portions of my mind
Cooking up all these gems for me to find
Hard drive worth a Bentley, and a yacht
And a drop
And a spot
I just need a shot
I’ll be fine
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa.
Bruce Banner in my blunt
Ruby Farms, it ain’t no Runtz
Took time to get this trim
Ain’t no way I ain’t gon stunt
Put time into that gym
Ain’t no way I’m just gon punt
Been watchin all this film
You can’t fool me with no front
Can’t treat me like no grunt
Built a whole business this month
I thought of it, then I did it
I ain’t waitin for no front
I thought of it, then I did it
I can make another next month
I thought of it, then I…
The answer is smash, what’s next
I just wanna smash, just a little bit
I just wanna smash, just a little bit
I just wanna smash
I just wanna smash
I just wanna smash, just a little bit
I just wanna smash, just a little bit
I just wanna smash
I just wanna smash
Hulk smash on the ass
Hulk smash on the gas
Hulk smashing your bitch
Hulk smashing the glass

7- eyeObstain
This was the first song recorded for DRAPETOMANIA.
Made this after ranting for like an hour on FaceTime with a childhood friend about all the reasons why I felt like I needed to leave the city I was in. This song isn’t really about the city tho.. It’s about identity.
I’ve always been fascinated by how willingly people adopt ideas, labels, and expectations without questioning where they came from. Entire belief systems get inherited, repeated, and defended before they’re ever examined. Individuals become brands. Communities become tribes. Opinions become personalities.
The more I paid attention to that process, the more I found myself stepping away from it.
I consistently felt punished for not fully adopting any box holistically.
Not everything deserves your participation. You can just abstain!

“It ain’t no freeway in life, so buy it with what you really want
Ain’t gonna get this shit twice, you lucky if you get it once.
I been smokin out the pound, these big fat gorilla blunts
Let me show you around the town, show you how we really stunt
We get six, you really punt
Tell me where you really from
Tell me where they know your name
Do you think they feel the same
Why you talkin’ about some stain
You ain’t know you was a lame
You ain’t him like you proclaim
Got no fans but claimin fame
That’s a shame
I don’t even know them boys like that, but they call me they bro
I don’t entertain
I don’t even show these girls no cash, but they still want me to make it rain
Don’t know how you feel like that, when all you did was drain a vein
It was fun, so why complain
But I’m sayin..
I abstain
From the bullshit
From the hood shit
From the bougie folks, that too good shit.
From the coulda, woulda, should shit
Like..
From the judgment, in the pulpit
From the wanna-be-understood shit
I don’t need no reassurance
Like..
Got with perseverance
Ain’t askin’ for no clearance
I’m floatin, and they fear it
Like..
Shook!
These niggas be scareder than Courage
They need to go get them some courage
They livin they whole life discouraged
Like..
Get up and go get you a purpose
Cause livin for money is worthless
Spirit starving, niggas hurting
But I’m sayin..
I abstain
From the bullshit
From the hood shit
From the bougie folks, that too good shit
From the coulda, woulda, should shit
Like..
From the judgment, in the pulpit
From the wanna-be-understood shit
I don’t need no reassurance
Like..
Got here with perseverance
Ain’t askin for no clearance
I’m floatin, and they fear it
Like..
I abstain
I abstain”

The artwork attached to this piece comes from my first trip to New York City in 2021.
I traveled up with Dreke, who designed the pants featured in the photographs. I’ve worked with a lot of creative people over the years, but he’s genuinely one of the most talented designers I’ve ever met!
The trip took place during the first Fashion Week after the pandemic, and it felt like the entire Atlanta creative scene had temporarily relocated to New York. Imagine walking around an amazing place for the first time and seeing people you rock with! I don’t think I saw that many familiar faces unexpectedly in a 1-week period for the rest of my time living in New York. It was truly a magical experience.

9- American Artist
This song came out of a difficult chapter in New York.
At the time I was living in Jamaica, Queens. Every day felt like a marathon. Q4 to the LIRR. LIRR to the subway. Long commutes. Summer heat. Financial stress. Recovering from a chaotic living situation. Working hard while feeling like I was barely moving forward.
Music became my way of reclaiming my nervous system.
I just started recording music and cooking up something every single day. I was like, if Ima suffer, I’m at least gonna have something to listen to/ wear that can make me happy and uphold my dignity on the day-to-day.
When this song first circulated among friends, some people interpreted it as angry, anti-white, or “hotep.” I understood where they were coming from, but that never felt like the heart of the record to me.
What I was wrestling with was power.
Throughout my life, I’ve been around many types of people (lived in 5 cities over 26 years and attended 13 schools over 12 years of schooling). I’ve constantly been moving between worlds. I’ve seen immense wealth, immense poverty, and a lot in between. Everywhere I’ve been, I see ways in which systems are built to serve and to deprive specific groups of people.
Who gets access?
Who gets heard?
Who gets remembered?
Who gets erased?

This shit right here is pivotal
Never been forgivable

I’m still mad niggas got thrown off the slave ships
For insurance payments

Them crackas tried to take my soul
They wanna drink my bone marrow
Like Lee when he got hit with that arrow

Your teacher said the South would never fall
Hate, infatuation

All the same to me

They made they own heaven in the land of the trees
They said heaven in the sky
Gotta die just to see

I’m just out here tryna break my niggas free
Decolonize your mind
Rip down these motherfucking blinds

Went back to school, sweating hard
Stomach hurt
Too much motion in the ocean
Now I pray for peaceful times
I search for peace of mind
In the time between the grind
I’m the 13th wonder
In this world you can’t find

10- Some Days
I can’t decide whether this piece is about the song or the jacket, so it’s about both.
Stevoo’s performance completely changed this record. One of my favorite things about working with bro is the fact that he always overdelivers. He’ll freestyle, stack ideas, experiment, and suddenly I’m left with a pile of great moments to sort through. Producing around that energy feels less like recording and more like assembling a puzzle.
The beat switch is literally cause I was listening to his vocal chop looping and like, “no way I don’t rap over that mf.” Bro, the energy in that vocal gave me life to go super saiyan on the last verse.
The artwork represents another kind of creation.
The jacket in the photograph was the first piece of clothing I ever made from scratch. Dreke taught me how to use a sewing machine and helped guide me through the process of turning an idea into something tangible. Up until then, most of my fashion experience involved printing artwork onto existing garments. This was me creating something that doesn’t exist on anyone else. I was 10 ft tall when wearing that jacket!

11- KOWBOY
By the time I made this song, I was frustrated with almost everything around me.
Part of that frustration was Atlanta. After spending time in New York, I had experienced a version of life that felt more aligned with who I was becoming. There were more opportunities, more variety, more spontaneity, and a stronger sense that every day I left the house was another possibility to completely change my life.
Returning home made the contrast impossible to ignore.
But looking back, I don’t think the city was the real issue.
I was changing.
My relationships felt strained. My home life felt unstable. Many of the people around me seemed content with things I could no longer accept. It created a particular feeling of isolation where I was surrounded by people but increasingly alone in my perspective.
This song became my way of processing that experience.
Years later, I have more appreciation for that period of life than I did while living through it. It taught me how to trust myself, take risks, spend time in nature, and continue moving forward without having all the answers.
(Also, Wolf would get played top to bottom from age 12-14 at least 3 times weekly.) What an album bro! Tyler is easily one of my biggest influences) (almost deleted that last parenthesis when I reread it and looked at the tag art and peeped I’m even wearing GOLF shoes, like “good lord let this man’s nuts go Gabe, what the hell”… but then I was like “No! It’s ok to be a fan of things”… we gotta start checking these toxic narratives they gave to us, it makes you express less and live less!)

“Yesterday..
Yesterday..
Yesterday I took a long walk in the woods just so I could find some peace
You can’t buy joy, it’s just a lease
You make some more, then the price increase
I make some dough, then I fly to Greece
Get tired of there, now I fly to Nice
I see a life for myself that I ain’t gotta drive to everything I want
I’d rather take a long walk
I hate these big streets with small sidewalks
This shit smell like a dump
I hate these cities where we on an island
We don’t never really talk
Unless I know you, or unless I need you.
Interaction’s fake unless you’re with your people
Antisocial shit should really be illegal
How you supposed to grow if you don’t fuck with people?
How the fuck am I supposed to feel
When I look around shit is barely real
Got us looking in a bottle for a will
Just live another day and pay some bills
But fuck it
I am the cowboy pavin this road
Fuck yall maps, I follow my soul
Lead this ship, I’m playin’ my role.
Got my goals
GOATWRLD shit been taking the globe
Line it up city by city
Achievin’ my goals like knockin down dominoes
Can’t get away anywhere y’all go
This cowboy shit ain’t for everyone, my boy
This shit get lonely
Scary knowin I’m the only
One on my path
If I had a genie I would wish that they could clone me
Only two folks really know me
Can’t show too much, they gon hoe me
Or lose faith
Sometimes this world can be a cruel place
Everybody care and the safe
Until you speak up, then it’s too late
They gon run away and think you prey
Like I ain’t hunt and get a full plate
A full steak
I caught my food, so I ate it all
They aint pick it up when a nigga call.
I remember all
On God
But fuck it
I am a cowboy paving this road
Fuck yall maps, I follow my soul
Lead this ship, I’m playing my role
Got my goals
GOATWRLD shit been taking the globe
Line it up city by city
Achieving my goals like knocking down dominoes
Can’t get away
Anywhere y’all go”
