To Be Fed- Lyrics

So glad you made it
I’m so
Happy to see you baby
You can trust that

Thirst is for baiters
And betas
I’m not stringing no line
You’re an alpha baby

What are you made of
I swear
It’s most intoxicating
Yeah

Smells like
Curry and Night
Dark spice
Tell me it’s all mine, yeah

The closer we get
To touching
Oh baby
Please
Don't
Make me
Wait

The closer we get
To touching
Oh baby
Please
Don't
Make me
Wait

Have you ever been fed
Totally sated
Works through your head
and down to you toes, down past you navel

Supernova explosion
I thought I told ya

I thought I told ya

To Be Fed

After years of classical jazz training and nailing hooks and vocal arrangements for her fellow BLAT! Pack members, Yellokake has finally released her debut EP, “The Batter.” Her lyrics  delve into romantic connections and her relationship with herself, while her production pairs electro-jazz arrangements by Hir-O with a crew of trusted acoustic musicians. The result is a smooth, genre-bending marriage of sweet, satisfying authenticity.

Creating this mix was an enlightening experience insofar as, when attempting to best capture my voice as an artist, only my most personal inspirations came to light. I was a sci-fi, anime, gaming buff as a child, before I was seriously into music. So when I stumbled upon the anime "Samurai Champloo" in HS, it should be no surprise that the soulful tones of the late Jun Seba, (Nujabes) caught my ear, and inspired me to take music seriously. In college, I finally put a name to that one producer whose soulful chops, syncopated drums, and subtle baselines had caught my ear growing up. His name was Jay Dee, J-Dilla, and he was from my hometown, Detroit. Unfortunately, he had just died a few years before I would come to know him through his music. That sound, that Detroit sound, that organic sense of timing and rhythm, that eclectic taste for finely aged strings and brass, that feeling is at the root of my sound. It's Detroit's sound. And Detroit wept for Dilla, paying homage to his legacy through keeping the sound that he pioneered alive. Although, it is my personal opinion that as a truly complete artist, Dilla worked through many phases. Furthermore, if he were alive today I believe he would have pushed that sound to the next phase. To my ears, Flying Lotus has done this, and thusly has become one of my biggest inspirations to date. Thank you to all of these artists for sharing your creativity with me.
