Streaming release: November 20, 2026
About the album
On Study Hall, Vol. 1: Lessons in Daydreaming, Professor John puts fretless bass in the lead across nine lo-fi hip-hop instrumentals. Mellow beats and heavy low end make it a soundtrack for late drives, study sessions, and nights spent gaming.
The project began with a dream about a home beside the water, a winding mountain road, and two humpback whales swimming in a river. Those images became the starting point for the record and its purple-and-peach illustrated cover.
Suggested first listen: “Take Notes.”
