Although Pt+ moved to the Charlotte area in 2009, his music remains deeply influenced by the West Coast rap scene that shaped him from the age of 12.
With I Never Left, Pt+ brings the raw energy and authenticity of 90’s West Coast rap back to the forefront.

“Growing up in California, I was surrounded by the sounds of Tupac, Dr. Dre, and Snoop,” says Pt+. “Their music had a massive impact on me and shaped the way I approach my art. I Never Left is my way of staying true to those influences while also bringing something new to the table.”
The album also features collaborations with Pt+’s sons 2Polar and Caramel God, as well as contributions from Young Noble of The Outlawz and rising star GNAC INED. These collaborations add a new dynamic to Pt+’s sound, blending his seasoned style with the energy of the next generation of artists.
