IDEAL is Curtismith’s first compiled release of tracks under one theme, the mixtape is a collection of tracks from producers he has personally worked with and covers off of eats from music he’s been influenced by.

Included are tracks from CRWN, also part of his home collective LOGICLUB, a track from Beat Sampras, a producer based in Cape Town, South Africa. Also included are tracks he rapped on from 40, J. Dilla, Jazzual Suspects, Timbaland, Flamingosis, OHD, and Outkast.

Mito Fabie, AKA Curtismith, once caught a billboard of (as you may already have guessed) Anne Curtis—and plucked the surname of one of the country’s most recognizable faces and made it his moniker. And it’s the same clever, somewhat ironic referencing that he applies to his first mixtape release, out Sep 4.

IDEAL, an optimistic and introspective debut, explores the tension, anxiety, and ambition of  the rapper who is often see-sawing between confidence and doubt. Many of the tracks sound like a succession of interrogations, addressed to himself—with questions like “am I good enough?” on “Currently”—it’s almost like watching Curtismith perform a monologue in front of a mirror. With a narrative refined by samples culled from movies like Goodfellas and The Great Dictator, and a host of collaborators like CRWN, Sampras, and Similarobjects—the verses flow, consistent in its storytelling, and curious all throughout. 

“I’ve got all these dreams”, he coos in “For The Love”, but IDEAL peaks at “philo(watts)”, which features a vibrant horn section. It’s the kind of mixtape that swells, from one’s bedroom to a corner in the crowd. “I got this, I promise”, he affirms on his first track. He could very well be right.

BAWAL VIBES VOL. 5 DURTY 36 ( Pope Fiction )

paalam - paalam - paalam - paalama
[Album Art by ALBERT GUALLAR]

LYRICS:
Pagkatagaltagal kong hinintay ang pagkakataong ito
Pero bakit tila pinagbaligtad ang magkabilang mundo
Mundo nating dalawa sanay di nalang pinagtagpo
Mga alaalay di mabura sa isipan ko
Bakit ganito
Tuwing naririnig ang boses mo
Ang pagpatak ng mga luhay dirediretso
Patawad sana sa aking mga nagawa
Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit ka nagsawa
Ngayon nag iisa
Sa aking kwarto, hindi alam kung anong salita
Ang dapat kong sabihin para mawala
ako sa mundong to
Bakit ganito
Ako ay susuko
Wag ka nang sumuyo
Akoy lilisan na 
papalayo

Bakit nga ba tayo nandito
Ang puso koy nalilito

Pero bakit tila
Pinaglaruan lang tayo ng tadhana
sa panahon na di maalaga
Bakit parang di mo maalala
Ako lang ang lalaki sa isipan mo
Ngayon binilang ko bakit parang tatlo 
na kami dito 
Sa puso mo
Sa puso mong wala manlang espasyo
Sabi mo ako lang ang mahal mo
Pero parang gago
Ikaw ay nagtatago
mayrong panibago
Ilang buwan ang lumipas
Tila di ko parin malilimutan
kung pano nga ba tayo nasayang
Bagong bago pero bat kaylangan palitan
nag iiwasan
di ko matiis, pwede ka bang tawagan
Ngayong gabi
Ikaw ang kailangan
Di na makabangon
Kay bilis naman lumipas ng panahon



Siguro nga hindi pa tamang oras para tayong dalawa'y magusap 
Hindi ko din alam kung ba't bigla nalang nawala ang mga pangarap
Bakit ba palagi nalang ako sating dalawa ang naghihirap
Pano mo ko binitawan na para bang basura sa isang iglap

patawad, umawat, nagmahal at nasaktan. Gabi gabiy umiinom, sigarilyong almusal sa umaga problema

Hanggang dito na nga lang ba?
wala na natitirang pag asa?
Mala libro na di natin mabasa?
kay tagal-tagal nakapikit parin ang yong mga mata.

tayong dalawa
di na masaya
di na
aasa
na babalik
ka pa

wag na kong 
isipin
ito ay lilipas din
pangako saakin
kakalimutan ko na rin

mga salitang binitawan
bat pati akoý binitawan
bigla nalang nangiwan
di na ipagpipilitan
basta't pinagsawaan
may iba ka nang sinasamahan
may iba ka nang sinasamahan

PAALAM

Live prod except for the 2nd verse. Added it recently

Lyrics:

I was doing fine when my baby got away (x3)
Bout to do better now I let her got away


The way you pushed me
You did it slowly
I never noticed
I guess I liked it.

The way you played it
The way you faked it
You took advantage
On me while faded

I might ve known it
But I said fuck it
I might ve slipped it
Then I said fuck this

"Goodbye" 
I told you now Im fine
So fine
So fine Im doing better in life

You think of me as a fool
Guess what Im never comming for you
Or for me
Cant you just
Understand
All this shit
In the trash
Bitch Im gone
Yeah

Existential Crisis Is Better Without You
