2014–2017: Early recordings and instrumental albums Celestaphone released his first solo EP,
Glorifying, in October 2014. His first collaborative effort was producing
Dionté BOOM's single "Fish Market" the following year. The song was included in a 2015 edition of the
Arkansas Times' Rock Candy journal. In 2016, Celestaphone published a second EP titled ''Minappi's Last Wondrous Escapade
, and in 2017 he released three full-length albums: Robosoul
, To Cite Psych
, and To Cite Fright
. The EP, along with album To Cite Fright'' received a nod from Raoul Rego, former webmaster at
WREK, in an interview with the station published by
Bandcamp Daily. The aforementioned albums, consisting primarily of
instrumental hip hop, were met with the creation of Celestaphone's record label Drumhex.
2018–2020: Tying Up Loose Friends and Weevil in Disguise Celestaphone broadened the musical repertoire of his songs in 2018 by including his vocals. His inaugural vocal album,
Tying Up Loose Friends, was released on July 30, 2018. He continued this vocal trend into 2020 with his album
Weevil in Disguise, featuring the lead single "Rewinders". This song is Celestaphone's first recorded collaboration with
MC Paul Barman. As an ode to Barman, who is a hip-hop artist particularly known for their incorporation of
palindromes within rap lyrics, "Rewinders" was strategically published on February 2, 2020 (or
02/02/2020), a day uniquely recognized as an exceptionally rare global
palindromic date.
2021–present: Year of Octobers and Paper Cut from the Obit A collaborative album between Celestaphone and MC Paul Barman (as
alter ego YOUNGMAN) titled
A Year of Octobers arrived in August 2021.
