Ocean Dance [Arrival], produced by curator of the signature Bop Alloy sound, Marcus D, is an eargasmic collage of cool drums, smothered in warm bass, subtle keys and baritone vocals by Substantial. Vibrant horns & background vocals by Kokayi put the icing on this little slice of heaven, which Substantial describes as “70’s porn spliced with the best elevator music you’ve heard in your life.” He delivers rhymes about the affair we all share with the ocean when we’re in desperate need of a getaway. Describing his mistress with lyrics like: “You taste like tears, smell like freedom / Could’ve brought my cares and worries here but I don’t need em...” and “I like the way she move (move - move) / So I stop to say “Hey!” (Hey - Hey) / ‘Cause even though she’s blue (blue - blue) / She’s sweet enough to wave (wave - wave)”.

From "Home Is Where The Art Is" 

lyrics
Yeah, I like that! Uh-huh! 
Oddisee I appreciate the recommendation. 
Lets go... yeah, yo! 

VERSE 1 
Name: Substantial, Address: Nunya! 
Baltimore resident, but people know I'm from the... 
County where the Prince is a G, it's no wonder 
That even in the dead of winter, the block is live as summer 
Where dudes got that work, but I'm ji' mo' selective 
Pass the line that is second you will find my objective 
I'm seeking a position that will further my development 
While fattening my pockets 'cause I don't rhyme for the hell of it 
You need my work experience and past employers? 
I'm down with QN5. Former U.V. Ink owner 
And I use to be with Hyde Out and the late great Nujabes 
Wherever I go my motto's "Be great do your best" 
Responsible for making sure that we stay stupid fresh 
Locally and globally while they help me get these groceries 
And keep the fam eatin', I keep the fans fiendin' 
And hit them with the potency of a professional, dope MC 
You know it's me! 

HOOK 
Can't speak for these other guys but 
You can check my resume man, I'm qualified yep 
Why would I lie bruh, (Nobody as fresh as this 
Hit man for higher, check my references!) 
Can't speak for these other guys but 
You can check my resume man, I'm certified yep 
You can put’em high up, (Nobody as fresh as this 
Hit man for higher, check my references!) 

VERSE 2 
I should be your 1st pick, long before the second interview 
3rd LP's a 4 out of 5 minimum 
Even with short pockets stood taller than Sentinel 
Drive is uncanny, not your average individual 
You'd think I graduated from the Xavier Institute 
But School of Hard Knocks is where I took my classes 
Where I got my Master of Ceremony tactics 
My Poor Righteous Teachers taught me to make only classics 
You may know me as this Educator and a Vocalist 
Who the hell you know's a Team Player and a Soloist 
Can dress to impress but I'm fly when I'm plain 
Too thorough, if I quit you would hire me again 
So fire him if he lame I've come for what's mine 
Work around the clock so I can keep up with the times 
Since elementary I flipped a dub from a dime 
While they get the pink slip I get the W-9 

HOOK 

VERSE 3 
I'm the man for the job, while these slackers do jobs for the man 
Knowing that it blows, sometimes it's involving their hands 
They are really hoes. Don't you want a person with integrity 
Setting goals, tailored for success, you can measure me 
On my accolades and my skill in the field of rhyme 
Future so bright, man, for real, leave you feeling blind 
Plottin' chart toppin while I chill and I'm killin' time 
Skills gettin' better but they still ain't as ill as mine 
Don't take my word here's some references to check up with 
You can call the Gods, UAU is who they represent 
Holla at Odd, he made the beat the I mettle wit' 
Or Tone & PackFM because my famm is extended trick 
Call my peeps Marcus D if you want that better shit 
Me & my bre-th-ren... stick together like a pair of tits 
Call Kool Herc & Busy Bee, I ain't arrogant 
But here's a quick reminder just in case it still ain't evident, yo!

From the album "Home Is Where The Art Is"

About the album:
The DMV rapper Substantial has been ripping mics for years. Starting with the self made label U.V. Ink, he began making his mark on the game. His debut solo did well everywhere but particularly in Japan where he hit the Top 10. This success set off a career touring Asia that led the emcee to touch down in Taiwan, China, Japan and more – not to mention Europe and almost all of North America. As things began to get busier he linked with QN5 to focus solely on artistic creation. His collaborations have been equally profound including work with the legendary DJ Kool Herc, Bootsy Collins, Chew Fu, Cunninlynguists, and even an appearance on Bruce Kulick's (of KISS) album alongside all-star rocker Gene Simmons. His videos have appeared on MTV, BET, and VH1, while his music has made it to the second round of Grammy voting in 3 categories. Even the renowned car company Bentley reached out to have Substantial create a song for them and perform in China at their car show. Vogue Magazine included his music in a recent playlist. Not bad for the PG County rapper who has also contributed heavily to his community's well being by way of building recording studios for disadvantaged youth in conjunction with the Covenant House and raising money for school music programs in VH1's Save The Music Series. For his newest album "Home Is Where The Art Is" (Mello Music Group) Substantial enlisted the help of executive producer Oddisee who also arranged & mixed the record and contributed a large portion of the production. And that's just the start, no wonder they call him Substantial.
