New records, new chapters, and first look at every print and archive set — sent when there's something to send. No schedule.
We Had Our Time is an independent world-building studio founded by DrewsThatDude (Andrew Lloyd Stevenson), a Grammy-nominated, Berklee-trained producer with 7× Platinum credits — additional production on Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV and vocals on Mac Miller's Swimming — alongside work with EARTHGANG, Jeezy, and T-Pain. The studio builds worlds through sound, image, and story — original music, fine art, and the Relapse narrative universe, where every release, print, and object is an artifact from the same living world.
The catalog — hundreds of original compositions with placements across Showtime, ESPN, and the NFL — is available for sync licensing in film, television, advertising, and branded content, with clean ownership and stems ready for delivery. The collection pairs that music with numbered fine art prints by visual architect Bryson Boutte, vinyl, cassettes, and archive sets — collectible artifacts from Relapse, each with a verifiable certificate of authenticity.
Start with the music, explore the Heaven's Gate collection, read the story on Substack, or license the catalog. Every door leads into the same world.
