Gigio:

Peace Chicken Little, no, the sky's not falling
but I think the flood's still rollin' in from New Orleans
A lot of misdeeds, A lot of birdies caught for sitting ducks
living just enough for the city corrupt
it made that man Stevie wonder
I'm feeling under the summer, about to fall
I got a hump in my back, I'm hurtin'
Baby I'm fiendin' for a beat like this to bring me back to my person
Ay-yo we panthers is dancers, we was meant to ease with the breeze
but peep the enemies with the steeze
Got my smooth cats mentally fatigued
Hunching and arching, chemistry defeat
Ah never that!
Let me show you where it's at
King Tut somethin', Cleopat yourself on the back
Aztec yourself before you wreck yourself
Tainostradamus, Rebel sonnet, Prose for Poccahontas
Crazy Horse windtalk content
Muhammad was one of God's prophets
Jesus walked on water
and all men were born equal way before Thomas Jefferson
Don't let 'em rob your essence, man
Walkin' upright to the mother land

We walkin' upright, We walkin' upright
Yeah we started that move, I put my heart in that groove
We walkin' upright, We walkin' upright
We the kings of the planet, You need to overstand it
We walkin' upright, We walkin' upright
I got pep in my step, you better check with ya rep
We walkin' upright, We walkin' upright
Elevating progress cuz I'm fresh to death

Taste Nate:

Telling me go get a life
I tell um I don’t need a life
Got you feeling penalized
Inspired by the inner light
I never let it intertwine
I keep um lace I enter mind
Fields with the feeling right
When I’m Walking upright

get on your knees and swear that was tiger crouching  
really plugging to the absolute power outlet 
was a space cadet flu every sunrise 
nothing to hold me down I was moonwalk walking upright 
ex con trails Chemical crowd surfing 
trying to block my view of the sun I bounced Down early
right low blow up right bass flow
Charlie Mingus got my fingers on the stride piano 
next level jazz singer nast of the Moricans 
her Wonder Bread was so dense it has to be Norwegian 
Raw vegan rob the industry asking what's the soup a de jear 
walking right up waterfalls iroquois recording boards 
want to get the people up test booster dynamics 
prosthetic legs or 10 new commandments 
lightworkers need not ask from society 
we with the highest one to laugh at sobriety

Gigio:

Ay-yo I celebrate life and I celebrate death
(Why's that?) Cuz I'm hella clever and I'm ahead of the rest
I see the haters dawg, they all my children
My sons and daughters, I'm tryna heal them
Cause for resistant resilience
until then we walk like Egyptian lovers
Pilgrims messed up, let the Indian out the cupboard
Free the prisoner from the infrastructure
Let the chef out the Shaft cuz I'm a bad mother - shut your own mouth
You ain't censoring me, I'm extra-sensory
Metaphysically, Mentally, Check my melody, You'll be very pleased
Ahead of my time and I'm an old soul too
My brother Nate bust the oldschool groove

Taste Nate :

Dr said you need a backiotomy
And your brain is fried some calamari meat
You’re so obsessed with foreign policy
The apricot I keep from the pit of poverty
You can claim the game, Intellectual property
You never own up to accept apologies
You wouldn’t admit that you used up all your heat
keep on coming wit it hidden gemology
You can dig it up like paleontology
Was a cave painter with graffiti I’ll agreed
I gotta give it up to the needy harmless seeds
Get your bone structure Tree upright non-be-LEAF

When Pragmatic Theory first started out we began accompanying our beat tapes with mc compilations soon after. There definitely was a passion for us to also work with just as massively talented emcees and their story telling. The growth in our audience and support has given an opportunity for Pragmatic Theory to expand on physical releases and although our releases have gained more time before another with our last mc comp being a bit over a year ago, we are working behind the scenes with concepts to share with you all. We have mad love for the community we are involved with. Stay with us, stay tuned , we have more in store to share. Please enjoy Life by artists we have love and appreciation for .... One Love.

A rap compilation from Ausar Records based out of the Bay Area in California. Album art by Ras Terms. Hotep.

12 GGORAPS-Gigio

15 Heavenly Glory-Grand Sunz Feat. Mighty Leeban

BoriKane is a duo of Bay Area solo Hip Hop artists. Gigio and Taste Nate each have their own dissimilar and unbound style that complement each other to create an off kilter harmony of rhymes and poetry. They Pay homage to their Puerto Rican heritage and Hip Hop predecessors such as Big Daddy Kane. The name Borikane is an edgy derivative of the term “Borinquen” which is the name given by the indigenous Taino who inhabited the island of Puerto Rico, they combine that with their dope style and flow pattern that creates the “Kane”. These two emcees lyrically embark on an intergalactic adventure to explore the Diaspora of the American brown man and the struggle of being socially accepted as Hip Hop weirdoes. Taste Nate and Gigio are true students of music and are not afraid to experimentally venture across a wide range of sound. They bridge different genres and attack serious subject matter with a witty aroma and a healthy sense of sarcastic humor.  On stage, Borikane is a dynamic team that confronts the audience to think outside the box while giving them plenty of space to have a good funky time. Gigio and Taste Nate are coming into your cypher with the challenge of helping you reach the completion of your human transformation while restoring the natural order of love, peace and unity.
