DaVinci Parks
The alter ego to Lee (the Poet), DaVinci Parks' Panorama Project was an experimental foray into hip hop with friend and producer OJ Miles. The two, both fans of hip hop, decided to collaborate in 2005 on the project. After starting with great energy, things were complicated a bit when OJ moved to Atlanta with his wife. Undeterred, the two finished the LP, along with help from friend and producer K Murdock a.k.a. DOC (of Panorama, RPM & XM satellite radio's SubSoniq series). The project wrapped in early 2007, but wasn't finished in mixing until later that year, which was more of a disconnect for the artist, who had creatively and conceptually moved on to other things. The long wait was just enough time for the artist to feel he had matured past the project, and caused him to sit on the project instead of release it as originally planned. Instead of doing nothing with it, he decided to make it available for free download.
