Lyrics:
As I wake up, I thank the Lord for another day,
Even if the skies are gray and the rain’s pouring,
All it means is my drum machine’s working overtime before we're out European touring,
I see the numbers and they're soaring big,
Hard to ignore me when they're singing all my choruses,
Or do you rate me when I'm whipping in some foreign whips?
Sometimes I hate the culture,
But really, I'm a fanatic,
Clashing with gatekeepers, pushing the average,
Never pushing the envelope,
That’s why I come equipped with the monologues,
To let 'em know what hip hop was before the avocado toast type rappers that got deals,
Not dissing the music, but the ones who’re fabricating the mass appeal,
Sample my feels through your MPC, the people have spoken, the niche is still alive,
I’m resurrecting what’s been crucified.

I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
Hard to ignore me when they're singing all my choruses,
I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
Hard to ignore me, I’m a fanatic, wake up, wake up,
I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
Sample my feels through your MPC,
I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
Hard to ignore me when they're singing all my choruses.

The people love me 'cause I rap with technique,
Producers hate me 'cause I often be rocking my own beats,
Either way, the art form is lost in a cold sleep, deep slumber,
Fee-fi-fo-fum, you’re numbers in the system,
Be he alive or be he dead, they're gonna take your money bread,
And your royalties too, you can do it on your own, my homie, I'm living proof,
I'm not perfect, that's true, my attitude through the roof,
I’m acting like papa dukes, I’m trying to be better,
Better than blood curses,
That's why I'm aiming for the stars until I break surface,
Flying so deep that all the pain's worthless,
My future seeds will never know the way I prayed nervous,
More than music,
I use the mic to maneuver my broken fuses,
Was in the mood for something different so I moved away,
My advice: if you're drowning, don't stay fixed in one place.
I'm in outer space.

I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
Hard to ignore me when they're singing all my choruses,
I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
Hard to ignore me, I’m a fanatic, wake up, wake up,
I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
Sample my feels through your MPC,
I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
Hard to ignore me when they're singing all my choruses.

I see the numbers and they’re soaring big,
I see the numbers and they’re soaring big.

The Actual Proof

Awon & Phoniks - "The Rain" ft. Tiff The Gift

GOOD NEWS! N single "Jazz & Coffee Part 4" is now available on all streaming platforms. Kid Abstrakt first started this series back in 2011 and if you’re still following and supporting, we truly appreciate it! We’ve all been learning and growing together and it’s been an incredible journey so far. From falling in love with music at a young age to making songs of our own and meeting people all over the world. The best way to capture our journey is to create honest, soulful and jazzy hip hop. This particular journey started with turntables, speakers, old jazz records and some coffee.When you mix these ingredients you get fresh beats and dope rhymes. We hope you enjoy the crispy drums over the smooth guitar loop. Produced by Emapea ( @Emapea.music ) with cuts by DJ Million Faces ( @millionfaces ) and cover photo by Kelvin Andre ( @kelv.andre )

Classik (Charles Monterroza), is an acclaimed recording artist, songwriter, and record producer from Toronto, Canada. Renowned for his soul-stirring lyrics, infectious hooks, and beats that leave listeners hitting the replay button, Classik boasts a discography of over 40 projects. He has worked with jazz rap luminaries such as Karmawin, CrazyJaZz, Shin-Ski, and other notable talents.

Classik's roots are steeped in resilience and hope, as the son of refugees who escaped the Salvadoran Civil War, a brutal conflict that finally found its end in the early '90s. Born in that very decade, he grew up surrounded by the lasting influence of hip-hop's golden age. For Classik, this genre wasn't just music; it was a lifeline. It became his voice when words fell short, helping him express emotions that remained unspoken in his everyday life.

His lyrics are an unfiltered letter from the heart, delving into the grit of life's toughest moments, addressing challenges, enduring hardships, and celebrating victories. Classik fearlessly tackles sensitive subjects, laying bare his true self in every song. His music serves as a window into the collective human experience, reflecting our shared journey through life in all its authenticity, uncut and profound. Whether the song has a melancholic, contemplative feel, or an upbeat and energetic vibe, Classik strives to leave a lasting impression every listener.
