Homie

In CRY Kunde explores the emotional landscape as the grandson of a Cameroonian
independence activist, offering a firsthand account of the interplay between intergenerational
trauma and toxic masculinity. A pivotal track from his upcoming album Dandelion, CRY is a
powerful journey of struggle and healing. Infused with jazz chords, an energizing stepper
beat, and a storytelling rap style, he carries you through the depths of this sincere story.


Lyrics:Chorus
Keepin it downlow I
gotta get mine uhuh
nobody mind dat my
tribe is the one that gooot
robbed robbed robbed robbed

(2x)
Verse 1
I - I - Aaah
Saw the tears in the eyes
of my dad when he cried
LIES

I’v seen this history with my eyes
I was surprised
didn’t see that coming
not even for a fraction of a mile

WHY?
Cause I remember
when I was a child of about seven
my dad was dating this shady lady
that stayed in while I was waiting
for my momma to pick me up
she told me your mother
probably ain’t coming no more
so stop waiting by the door
(you sure?)
I started to panic
felt abandoned like lil bambi
felt a pressure in my eye
and I couldn’t help but cry
when my dad came in the room
he said “son what are you doing?
Crying is for ladies and babies you fuckin’ punkt,
you mom’s at the door so you better get your trunk”

Chorus
Keepin it downlow I
gotta get mine uhuh
nobody mind dat my
tribe is the one that gooot
robbed robbed robbed robbed

(2x)

Verse 2
Yo, lemme track back
to the fact that
triggered this flashback
see we were in a museum
reviewing the history of
the decolonization
of the Cameroonian nation
stationed in Yaoundé
followed by guides
keepin there eyes
stick to the script
that was supplied
by the world bank and the IMF
see these people
getting stressed
when too many questions
were being asked
laughin it off
and redirecting

us to the next piece of the collection
pictures of independence day they were presented

to the surprise of our guides
all these things went awry

How
Can you lie like this?!
My father did replied

I witnessed all this shit with my own two eyes
I’m the one that survived our hidden genocide (2x)

Shhh

Chorus
Keepin it downlow I
gotta get mine uhuh
nobody mind dat my
tribe is the one that gooot
robbed robbed robbed robbed

(2x)
Verse 3
As I’m standing petrified
by my old man that was crying
people rushing to his side
even all of them guides
had their minds upside down

shit done flipped the whole vibe
my mind went all over the place
and tears start to race
BUT

I couldn’t cry cause my mind got fried

I froze
I blocked
My tear ducts stuck
didn’t know how to behave
and my mind felt strange

cause as a kid I learned to be ashamed of my pain
brothers cumulated and they go insane

with the trauma
inherited
on to the next

when will the time come that our minds rest?

Chorus
Keepin it downlow I
gotta get mine uhuh
nobody mind dat my
tribe is the one that gooot
robbed robbed robbed robbed

(2x)

In 'You Should Know,' rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Kunde delivers a powerful message of hope and perseverance, exploring the challenges of growing up melanated in a hostile environment. This track is a standout from his latest concept album, 'Dandelion,' which dropped on Friday, February 9th. With its old-school bounce, lo-fi aesthetic, and infusion of contemporary jazz and R&B elements, 'You Should Know' sets a captivating tone. Accompanied by the enchanting vocals of the talented Helena Casella, whose angelic voice beautifully encapsulates the song's lyrical themes

You Should Know (feat. Helena Casella)

The feeling of being in your 20s caught between comfort and uncertainty.

Almost 6 years after their collaboration on the now legendary Kingston Story album, Vybz Kartel & Dre Skull reunite for a one-off single: “Real Bad Gal.” Teased into the world by PartyNextDoor, who sampled the chorus on his Gold-certified hit single “Not Nice”, the original Kartel song is now available on Mixpak. 

An inimitable combination of Kartel’s throwback flow and Dre Skull’s minimal roughneck production that twists classic dancehall into 2018, the song is a dedication to a “bad and brave” woman, the original bad gal. 

----

Vybz Kartel is Jamaica’s most revered contemporary artist, a household name in the Caribbean and a worldwide cult hero whose lyrical ability is matched only by his furious workrate and endless drive for excellent songwriting. In his 20+ year career, he’s had an untouchable influence on modern day dancehall and the pop world at large, working with Rihanna & Missy Elliott, finding fans in Drake and Jay Z and being instrumental in launching the careers of Jamaica’s newest generation of stars: from Popcaan to Spice. 

In 2011, he worked with Dre Skull to create the full length album “Kingston Story,” which gained unprecedented press coverage for an often overlooked genre, with features in Dazed, The New York Times, The Fader & more. The album, released on Mixpak, is now considered a classic, seeing its third vinyl repressing, and Kartel continues to release hit songs that dominate dancehall year after year.

Starting out as a turntablist/dj with a predilection for noise, hum and dirty vinyl, Buddy Pitch advanced to be a sound engineer, sound designer, producer and even visual performance artist. His first EP, "Lang Sang" dropped february 2014, and he has been producing, twisting, scratching, fiddling, distorting and sequencing every day he could the last ten or so years. His music somewhat mirrors the ambience of his birthplace: A city by the fjords,
in between jagged mountains. Bass, pads and beats.
