![Sophomore hip hop artist Steven Bietz looks at his album collection in his room. He launched his album “Composition” at the beginning of the year, making it his first album of the year and fifth album of all time released under the name “Departure”.
“The name ‘Departure’ comes from two different things,” Bietz said. “Nujabes is a Japanese hip hop producer and he produced an album for an anime called Samurai Champloo called ‘Departure’, [which I enjoyed]. The name is also metaphorical because I was actually leaving the internet community that I was a part of when I started producing music.”](https://mhstrailblazer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/IMG_20230313_151723_647.jpg)
