This is my final (primarily) hip-hop project that has been in production for almost a year and a half.

the first and probably last song I'll ever make about a clock

sample: https://youtu.be/4XLK2pSavek?si=Xl2cnWj7e0-KaVnF

lyrics: 

tick. tock. how much time do I got
tick. tock. only so much left on that clock
tick. tock. never know til it's all lost
the one thing that can never be bought

Today my Pikachu clock broke
Now I'm feeling like my life's at a crossroads
That little dude been helping me find the time
Ever since Christmas of 99
Return address from Santa Claus
I wonder what store it was where my parents copped
Back when you had to buy gifts in person
I think they got my little sis the hello kitty version
The concept of time was still something new
He came with an alarm to wake me up for school 
Gave my wild mind a little order
Every Daylight Savings I would spring him forwards
added something fresh to the room
girls I had over always said he was cute
Did his job til the last tick of his second hand
On judgement day no method man
I put in 2 new AAs to no avail
I should've known he was getting old and frail
My last childhood possession
lived longer than any of my pets did
A lifespan like this was a ton of luck
Cuz he couldn't have cost more than 20 bucks
Had me youtubing how to fix a clock
I could try but that would kinda miss the plot
I gotta move on, can't dwell on lost time
I can't replace him, I never been a watch guy
I still got life to live and rhymes to say
Even though now my friend's only right twice a day
I feel dumb for feeling such sadness
lot of memories in this cheap yellow plastic
He knows my whole life, every secret I got
RIP my little pikachu clock


pikachu clock

Do you know yo self?
Do you love yo self?


Recorded with Chuwi of Left Lane Studios in Waterbury, CT.
Produced by Johnny Salz and CTown Beats. The two producers teamed up and created a super dreamy sound to tie right into a story of America by Alyssa Hughes. 

Cover Art featuring "The A.I.D. Jacket" piece by Joshua Peruza (JP)for Aleph Kin. View more of his line here: www.alephkin.com  //
JP created the piece in response to the killing of Mike Brown and used this code to best describe this piece:

"THE UNITED STATES FLAG CODE 
Title 4, Chapter 1

§ 8(a)The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."

Any creative person will inevitably have a great deal of unused and unreleased material lying around at various points in their career. One one hand it's good to know that you've created so much material that you can access at any time but, on the other hand, sitting on good material is one of the most risky things you can do.  In this episode, we discuss why you should never sit on good material and what happens when you do.

99: Why You Should Never Sit on Good Material

Well Known ft. @FlukeHuman (prod. by @Lespa-official)
.......................................................

[Verse 1]
I'm just a bump on a log
With a pocket of obvious options, but honestly
I'd rather rap at these bars and get awkward applause
From an anonymous audience
Of 11 people, 7 staring at their phone
All things equal that's a pretty decent ratio
I don't need that much attention I'm a pet rock
Hope I can tell you what meant a lot when the pencil stops
Top 9 rapper in relative obscurity
The bright side is I don't have to pay security
And if your glances are cursory you may think
That it's hurting my self worth that I'm perfectly unheard of, see
I kind of like my low position on the totem pole
From what I'm told the upper half is prone to getting old
Let all my fifth cousins stay inside the woodwork
And try to make some good work instead of could and should work

[Hook - 2x]
I don't mind if I'm not well known
Well known people stuck to their cell phone like it was velcro
I'd probably end up like Chappelle, yo
Tell the whole world that I'm out, I need some room for my elbows

[Verse 2]
On the rap radar I'm just a chart blip
I'm not the shit more like a satisfying fart, it's
A fact of life you might assume the grass is greener
Through the window that looks clearer with the store brand cleaner
I eagerly await my meager stake of royalties
I know the 50 cents from spotify will never spoil me
I'm loyal to the people that I've known since I was little
Takes minimal effort to be humble within the lower middle
Class of the rap game, is it a bad thing
To be ok with getting average grades and barely passing?
Never the valedictorian, don't need validation
Banal interpretations of success will breed impatience
Famous or nameless it's all the same shit
The name of the game is be creative so I don't go insane
That's not to say that getting buzz is evil
I'm just saying that I love the crowd of 11 people

[Hook - 2x]
I don't mind if I'm not well known
Well known people stuck to their cell phone like it was velcro
I'd probably end up like Chappelle, yo
Tell the whole world that I'm out, I need some room for my elbows

[Verse 3 - Fluke Human]
I'll be hot as fuck the day that hell froze
Asked the crowd for a hell yeah and got a hell no
Usually gluten free bread cause my pay's weaker
But I don't wanna give head to no gatekeeper
Famous people problems I don't want em
Groupies popping condoms, I'm abusing all these options
Do I buy my ocean home in Tokyo or Kokomo
Coke or dope, tryna resist the urge to overdose
Cult following, I don't follow the trends
Cult following, by cult I mean your mom and her friends
Target demo, I don't want more I don't need a lot
Just to get a strong 4 from The Needle Drop
Critics nitpick every characteristic
Fart the wrong way and trip about a dip in statistics
My shit might not get a single click this week
At least I never gotta worry about a dick pic leak
