Thank you for posting this here!

Wow- probably one of the realest depictions of addiction I've ever heard.

You can see in the comments also that his music is speaking to people.

I love the storytelling aspect of hip hop. So many great storytellers in the rap game.

Ghostface though!!! You are right, one of the best. IMO he has the most solid catalogue of all of Wu. I also think that Only Built 4 Cuban Linx was a dual effort- Ghost and Rae- NOT a solo album.

Funny you posted that cause I was just thinking about Nas and his storytelling skills

"i almost gave my life to what the dice do, yeah man throwing them bones"

Dope lyricist.

Hope everyone is having a good Friday!!

I'm miraculous when I creep out the cave like lazarus,
with an amethyst amulet and an abacus,
I'm Hazardous like the Grand Creator In my cavernous lab ravenous,
like a rabid basalisk leaving you in paralysis,
The antagonists the pacifists and the masochists,
are passionate,
they all voted the analysis of the analysts say it's unanimous,
I don't think it I channel it,
so You can't handle this,
Chaos is a ladder, it's a catalyst,

that's why I'm throne sitting wearen' a crown of bound cannabis...





Eta: that wasn't a call out bro, more like verbal daps! A shout out if you will..

Sorry for shameless promotion family, but I'm kinda eager for some feedback on this one if you can spare 4mins...

On many levels it's the realest and most personal track I've ever written.
I'm not too fond of rapping about certain aspects of my past, so this is a complete 180 from the usual same ol' things I do.

Hope you've all been doing well...
Much Peace N' Love, fammo!!!

I loved that a lot, bro... Seriously!
You've definitely got a wonderful and natural writing ability.

More of that please!

That audio was harsh, made it difficult to hear you, you should re-record it.

I say that with love because I went to your YouTube channel and watched the video there so I could read the lyrics in your description... and the lyrics were on point..they deserve better audio bro..

Well done man, I love the way you make things rhyme that shouldn't with tout trying..although I do think that English accent can be a cheat code at times

Yeah, absolutely my bad mate, sadly that was the best I could produce at the time as it had passed midnight and I was trying not to disturb anyone.

For now it was only going to be a rough copy anyways because I just wanted to begin vocally mastering the type of flow and projection I think will do the final product justice.
Since early Feb, after my Oct-Feb writer's block, this track is one of about 3 out of maybe 40 verses that I actually want to be a studio quality record. Pretty much 95% of what I've written since my ''rebirth'' are basically throwaways.

So this was mainly a run-through I needed to hear out loud for myself, then thought, hey, it might be worth sharing in the meantime while I lock it all in.



Duly noted though, for sure.
And thank you ever so kindly for the compliments, pal!
You are a proper diamond geezer!

a reply to: Hazardous1408

Stop giving me reasons to compliment you and I will...



It's funny after I replied I watched the vid again, and I could almost tell you were trying to keep your voice down..
Definitely give those bars the respect the deserve with proper audio when you can and be sure to share it here!

Last one guys n gals, I promise...

Enjoyed writing this one quite a lot...
Was working towards pushing my multisyllabic ability to new limits.

Peace N' Love, Fam!

Very dope. Those lyrics are gold, mate. Thanks for sharing it here.

This dropped TODAY! Some postumous Sean P.

This beat!!!

My soul is the dark crystal..
A cracked artisanal well,
The hole is abysmal,
It's fractured,
And nothing matters,
Except that I fell,
And these tears well,
Hands bound by an unbroken spell,
Just a shell of the man who once stood,
The bells toll in hell for the misunderstood,
The woulda's the coulda's and the should,
The bad, the ugly, and the good,
Like those who get lost in the woods,
These books won't tell my tales,
They won't record my wins or fails,
Just my deal,
signed in blood and sealed,
So I get peeled by the flayed-men,
crucified and burned alive,
by those chanting Amen,
This rhyme might fly right over the laymen,
Busy poppin' poppy's off stamen's,
But you can bet these statesmen,

Know exactly what I'm sayin...

you can bet these statesmen,
Know exactly what I'm sayin',

And they not playin',
They take affidavit's and statements,
Then hit the club's for entertainment,
The practice is ancient,
The art of patience stewed in derangement,
Is old like Rome,
It's become blatantly flagrant,
The class of enslavement,
Is Hiding behind masks and fragrance,

And you can bet these statesmen,
Know exactly what these statements,
Mean to their equations,
And plantations,
The manifestation of words heard,
May sway the herds,
To stop swallowing turds,
And seek salvation,
These statesmen,

Know Exactly What I'm Sayin' !
