🖋️ From Leimert Park to the World: Hugh Augustine’s Voice of Integrity
Hugh Augustine has long represented a new archetype of artist — a voice that bridges community, wellness, and lyricism. Known not only for his razor-sharp pen but also for his work as a vegan chef and entrepreneur, Hugh’s art mirrors his lifestyle: intentional, balanced, and rooted in values.
On Please Wait To Be Seated, he paints a vivid picture of what it means to live one’s dream without compromising integrity. The project unfolds like a conversation — reflective, self-aware, and powerfully grounded in lived experience. From navigating L.A.’s cultural grind to manifesting purpose beyond music, Hugh affirms that success is about alignment, not just applause.
🎛️ Meet D. Sanders — The Sonic Architect
Behind the boards, D. Sanders brings a cinematic yet minimal touch that allows Hugh’s stories to breathe. Born Desmond Sanders and originally from Jackson, Tennessee, D. Sanders has quietly shaped some of the most soulful corners of contemporary hip-hop.
He earned early recognition for his production work with Isaiah Rashad, contributing to classic TDE releases like The Sun’s Tirade (“Stuck in the Mud,” “Wat’s Wrong,” “Park,” “AA”) and Cilvia Demo (“Heavenly Father,” “Smile”). His sound — textured, introspective, and fluid — helped define a generation of reflective Southern hip-hop.
Over time, D. Sanders has expanded his catalog internationally, producing the Moonshine mixtape for South Korean rapper Kim Ximya, and dropping his own beattape, Find the Time, praised for its ambient, meditative soundscapes. Now based in Los Angeles, he continues to evolve as a producer, DJ, and engineer, aligning naturally with Hugh Augustine’s vision of mindful artistry.
🍽️ A Seat at the Table of Realness
Together, Hugh Augustine and D. Sanders craft a sonic environment that feels both intimate and universal. Please Wait To Be Seated is less about proving something and more about being something — centered, self-assured, and spiritually nourished.
It’s music for the thinkers and the doers — for anyone balancing ambition with authenticity, hunger with patience. Every track feels like a meal prepared with care: seasoned with truth, served with gratitude.
