Unlimited  is a song about the limitlessness of Blackness. It's a song I needed to hear growing up. 

Produced by Zhao (https://soundcloud.com/zhaomusic )It's an aspirational mantra celebrating one's plurality. It's something you feel in your bones before you have any words for it. It's a re visioning of your possibilities and letting go of all forms of scarcity. It's genre less, boundless energy and joy. It's deeper than rap. It's a dance as much as it is a ritual. It's a spell cast on ones self. It’s the repetition that makes it powerful.



Released on June 18th 2021 via NEVER NORMAL (https://soundcloud.com/nevernormalrecords) in celebration of Juneteenth.

This song is called “ COLO(U)RS “

it’s out now

No samples just grooves

Play it on the days you hate everything

Love is Dope no matter what hue it finds you.

C o l o( u )r s  [Prod. B.BRAVO]

opening verse:

Blacked out 
shouts out 2 my black sunnz in b more
flowing like a sea shore
assassinated  my ego and me'd more
every songs a walk in my mind a free tour
wetransfered
floating on an icloud created myspace
now tell me how do iSound?
use spotify 2 spot a lie
2 times dope underlined
spit summer time
in a winter coat
I'm really cold
you got followers
I got believers in thee physical
thee way I do it 4 thee love I guess they gotta call it thee tennis flow
give me a minute though I bet I make your day
thee way i write away
right away 
thee heart is a theater we all just play 
parts
adlib
forget lines
and fall apart
when thee curtains drawn
All I know is I don't know
waiting on that next sold out show
they can steal your sound 
they cant steal your soul
steal your style
but they cant steal your glow
they cant steal ya smile
cant take your hope
cooler than ceiling fan no matter where i choose 2 stand
no matter where I am 
as a matter of fact 
the un materialized material matter you rap
never mattered I laughed 
watching how high sober as fuck
still laughing 
still masking
how I really feel close caption
flow phantom
so ghost
behind my minds closed doors
I want mansions
even if I gotta go charles mansion
Nah I'm 2 hansom

hook:
truly bright
speak thee truest light
think @ thee highest flights
Messiah type
no typo
radiant child 
but don't compare him 2 christ yo
nah
I'm god with us displaying bright pictures
I'm so christmas
yea
x2

closing verse:

Hellafied heaven sent
quiet nights sketching places that I never been
like damn we got a black president
but does it really matter if....?
I ain't voting next time
quote me on that 
clicking over
phone feeling Savion tapped
drug dealer demeanor
I really feel trapped
living a in different hue
sippin a bitches brew
my days shade is purple haze 
but I'm feeling some kind of blue
go on Facebook and like me
got a mermaid a pieces 
our minds be Siamese 
deep sea writing till time freeze
pens mastered green jackets
mic's fractured
my pen bleeds
I'm hyped like Mike jackson climbing like 10 tree's 
at light speed
my mind brings carry on luggage like 9 things
nah
you can't board miss flight
you can't touch my skies
stolen moments 
I take my time
smooth criminal 
no finger prints
got tentacles
i'm on that shit
that they finna do
I want thee parmesan like I'm in Italy
i really got thee ability 2 equal infinity
run with run on sentences
jog with possibilities
think in parenthesis 
trillwave
surfin them 7 seas
while you occupied blocks
we occupy hearts
ancient mathematics
modified smarts
when thee outside's ugly
whats inside's art
x2
everybody tweeting just 2 talk 2 me
giving props 2 me
I chocked up a lil bit 
it really got 2 me
just want u 2 know it really means a lot 2 me

†ruly . bright .

Every color has a value, VALUE defines form and creates spatial illusions. What is a black boy in a white space? Can a black boy be invisible in a black space? At times we can contrast our environments w/ just the knowledge of our value.

This is the 2nd EPisode in the COLOURED Series.

def.sound - Propane [ Channel Tres Remix ! ]

Prod. by Mocky Recordings


Produced by my good friend Mocky Recordings, as a remix originally that was so good we just needed it to be the original. The hook is written in a circle, and it was one of the first songs Alex Isley and I worked on, I couldn't believe words could sound so good till Alex sang them. On the flip side, it's a beautiful sounding song written about the need to break up or set your lover free. Ironically my sister played it at her wedding, I smiled and nodded and felt really honored but also like hmmmm have you listened to the chorus? This whole album is full of ugly truths thrown on beautiful canvas'. Love can be such a delicate dance, this just happens to be a breakup song you can samba to.

SATURDAZE [feat. Clear Mortifee]

You ain't got to spray my guy
we innocent
I promise you
would do well to leave us be unto ourselves
this barricade of treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
that's the sound of the police
go burn in hell
no gasoline
(why you gotta be sooo mean)
go burn in hell
no gasoline
