Ryan The Son / for HMEG / Collab №01

Play will set you free.

A lyric became a song. The song became a wardrobe. Three pieces, one collab — built with Ryan The Son and his album Recovering Athlete: A Time to Feel.

Play will set you free.

— from "Play Will Set You Free (Jada's Nocturne)"

Ryan The Son's Recovering Athlete: A Time to Feel is a record about getting your nervous system back. About permission. About the thing inside you that doesn't have words yet but knows it needs to move.

We took one line from one song and built a wardrobe around it — because some lyrics belong on the body, not just in the ears.

A standalone piece carrying BeBall Head — Ryan The Son's mascot and the cover face of Recovering Athlete: A Time to Feel. Cyan outline, glowing on black, built for late nights and longer conversations.

We debuted BeBall Head at a listening room full of arcade cabinets — because what's an album about play if you don't actually play.

The whole album on your back.

Recovering Athlete is the record this collab is named after. The back-print carries the full tracklist — eighteen pieces of the same conversation, with Play Will Set You Free sitting near the end like an exhale.

A piece for the people who don't just like a song — they live inside a record. If you know, you know.
