We Had Our Time Universe

Relapse

The Ghosts We Can't Leave Behind

A semi-autobiographical graphic novel about the tension between ambition, memory, and survival in the pursuit of a dream.

At the center is Drew, a musician navigating the highs and lows of his journey — his story woven from real and imagined threads: album covers, cityscapes, friendships, betrayals. Each character he meets embodies a different part of his world, from loyalty and love to temptation and loss.

Music, image, and story — one living world, built in real time.

Relapse isn't an album with merch attached. It's a single world told three ways — each one made by hand, carrying feeling and intention a machine can't fake.
The Music
A decade of original music across R&B, hip-hop, ambient, and cinematic instrumental — the catalog the world is scored to.
The Art
The Heaven's Gate Collection, drawn by Bryson Boutte — twelve guardians as numbered archival editions.
