STBBF [ Bamboozle ] 823 -Quickie

Keys in the ignition 
No R Kelly Shit
No embellishment 
Need a week off work cuz I’m so fucking sick 
Clutch or kick 
It’s silly I even have to say that I’m killing this 
Speaking gibberish till i make money with limericks
Hit a lick and I’m missing you can’t find me Im clitoris 
Doing my daily duties I gotta keep it Leviticus ignoring all the bullshit 
I cant hate, Im too rich
Richard Mille is all I’ll say bout time until I take You back 
Pancake money way my wallet sweet and full of stacks 
Sweet I bought the beat 
And then I made an aphrodisiac 
Don’t play this at yo mamas house 
You prolly would not get her back 
Oh man
So then 
Pass me the soda
Just found out 
I can’t hang out with a rodent 
You would think she mad the way her mouth all foaming 
Just touched down hold up lemme hit the roaming 
All roads Roman 
That’s a good omen 
Think We might need a few Trojans 
Oh man 
play this at yo mammas house you prolly will not get her back

PANCAKE MONEY (prod. jeffribeatz)

Composer Bekah Simms hails from St. John's, Newfoundland and is currently based in Glasgow after nine years living and working in Toronto. Her varied musical output has been heralded as “cacophonous, jarring, oppressive — and totally engrossing!” (CBC Music), “tough, even gutsy...with a sure sense of original and vibrant colours” (Vancouver Sun), and lauded for its "sheer range of ingenious material, expressive range and sonic complexity" (The Journal of Music.) Propelled equally by fascination and terror toward the universe, her work is often filtered through the personal lens of her anxiety, resulting in nervous, messy, and frequently heavy electroacoustic musical landscapes. Recent interests in just intonation and virtual instruments have resulted in increasingly lush and strange harmonic environments.

Bekah's music has been widely performed across North America and Europe. She has worked with some of the top interpreters of contemporary music internationally, including Crash Ensemble - with whom she is currently an artist-in-residence - Riot Ensemble, Eighth Blackbird, and l’Ensemble Contemporain de Montréal. Bekah has also been the recipient of over 35 awards, competitive selections, nominations, and prizes, including the 2019 Barlow Prize and the 2023 JUNO Award for Classical Composition of the Year. The resulting work from the Barlow Prize, "metamold," was nominated for the 2022 Gaudeamus Award. Works from her debut album “impurity chains” were nominated in both 2019 and 2020 for the JUNO Award for Classical Composition of the Year. Her music has thrice been included in the Canadian Section's official submission to World Music Days (2016, 2019, & 2021), and in 2016 the CBC included her among their annual 30 hot classical musicians under 30.

Bekah is a Lecturer at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, following previous academic positions at the University of Toronto and University of Western Ontario.  Her principal teachers during academic studies were Gary Kulesha and Andrew Staniland, alongside significant private study with Clara Iannotta and Martin Bédard.
