Alexander Spit

[2] Spit grew up in the Bay Area to a Filipino mother and San Francisco-raised father.

Spit's first foray into rap music was with a group called The Instant Messengers.

The album, as well as his subsequent project Until Next Summer (2010), were released through local streetwear company The Hundreds.

[3] After the success of his instrumental tape, Mansions, which landed on Complex Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 2012 (So Far)", Spit began work on his commercial debut.

[4] The album was called A Breathtaking Trip To That Otherside and was inspired by his move to Los Angeles and hallucinogenic drugs.
