Mental Notes is the latest EP from American rapper River Nelson .

Producers on the project include OVL Lorde from Florida, AltoBeats from California — who’s released two critically acclaimed albums with River — and Shaan Angel from the UK. The lead single for the project was the inspirational Flying , which is about River’s unwavering ambition to elevate himself both as an artist and an individual, despite facing challenges.

"Me & Dad on the Docks" is the second single from River Nelson ’s upcoming EP, Mental Notes , produced by his longtime collaborator AltoBeats . This heartfelt track is a vivid and touching recollection of River’s childhood fishing trips with his father. Through descriptive storytelling, he not only brings these beachside memories to life, but also weaves in the invaluable life lessons his dad imparted to him during their time on the sea-battered docks.

This jump becomes more aggressive, challenging, and can have much harsher consequences if done incorrectly” .
