Nice mellow groove featuring Tenor Sax.

Sexy Saxophone ballad for getting in the mood titled "Into The Dawn" from the upcoming album "Learn To Work The Saxophone"

Into The Dawn

This is a step into the world of love for the first time, as if you were first opening your eyes, paralleled with the first time you see through the veil into the other side of reality. Enjoy!

Life Of A Gangsta (feat. M&m & T-dubb)

Title: Loko Is Dead
Chorus: Everybody know that the loko is dead/ But somewhat alive no tears to be shed. Everybody knows that Tha Loko is Dead/ I died on the Earth but alive in the universe (2x Repeat)

Verse1: Now everybody know that tha loko is dead/ Gone from the earth but no tears to be shed. Somewhere free with thee chakaraz unlocked/ Forever will I be gone ain't no coming back on the spot. Will I make my return like the Messiah thats written in a folktale/ CUz living on this earth and nothing but eternal hell. No GPS or satellite can even track me/ cuz IM somewhere alive in another part of the Galaxy. Speaking telepathically cuz Im alive spiritually/ Physically EMotionally not bothered by emotions G. I reached my potential as Neter the one with self/ Im one with nature And not one with anyone else. The world is doomed by the Champions thats the Rothschilds/ Putnam vs them that shit kinda make me smile. Cracka vs Cracka Greed is the title they are fighting for/ Which means I rather be dead then witness a war.
Chorus: Everybody know that the loko is dead/ But somewhat alive no tears to be shed. Everybody knows that Tha Loko is Dead/ I died on the Earth but alive in the universe (2x Repeat)

Verse2: Turmoil is being fractured into the depths of life/ The pain will be sharp like the blade of a butcher knife. My soul is to be free away from the fucking earth/ Cuz this is the reason why I be 6 feet in the dirt. But may my spirit take me to another dimension/ to witness a lot of shit television mentioned. Thats real as it comes ideas are only sparked/ from actual events now take that shit to heart. Where is the proof written in his-story book/ Somewhere floating through virtual dimensions for you to look. A mind is a terrbible thing to waste so I been told/ May the the truth be told instead of being sold. My existence on this earth has been an ether to mind/ the body and soul looks for the peace but hard to find. I guess thats the way life goes for the Ne-g-ro/ Im dead on the earth the universe where u find me tho
Chorus: Everybody know that the loko is dead/ But somewhat alive no tears to be shed. Everybody knows that Tha Loko is Dead/ I died on the Earth but alive in the universe (2x Repeat)

Verse3: No sucidial attempts to be made/ Assassinate the character alive in me with a blade. Death can't consume if I already been consumed/ Life played the role of death and that is why doomed. If I died in your eyes will you see that Im alive/ You second life lived through your name while u died. So Im dead on this earth but alive in the universe/ is words to dissect to comprehend what I said first. I rather be alive through an afterlife through the mouths/ of those who pretend to wonder of my whereabouts. So miss me with the tears cuz nobody show how much that they really care/ may the ghosts hiding in desolated spaces see me bro. People say they miss me but when alive I wasn't even noticed/ I even screamed for help but all those words were really hopeless. But now that Im gone you begin to let them tears fall/ Bullshit written over your face FUCK ALL Y'ALL

Chorus: Everybody know that the loko is dead/ But somewhat alive no tears to be shed. Everybody knows that Tha Loko is Dead/ I died on the Earth but alive in the universe (2x Repeat)
