“I’ve Been Drowning in Deep Waters” captures the raw struggle of holding on when life pulls you under. The song paints a vivid picture of vulnerability—balancing between survival and surrender, safety and loss. Its lyrics evoke a haunting imagery of floating on love’s fragile strength while unseen depths whisper truths and fears. With an atmospheric tone, it blends emotional weight and poetic reflection, resonating with anyone who has fought to stay afloat in uncertainty. Both tender and powerful, the track embodies resilience in the face of overwhelming tides, leaving listeners immersed in its emotional current.

Excerpt from Mass Appeal article:

"This song is my average party experience: small, often fake conversations with industry people, combined with my sometimes awkward encounters from being too high in a crowd.  Throughout writing this song, I found myself trying to write lyrics that I wasn't connecting with, and finally realized most of what I was coming up with was just me bullshitting, trying to write a catchy song.  That epiphany led to some very transparent verses, which gave me a chorus that seemed to write itself: 'at least I'm finally being honest with myself.'" - Derek

RXDICAL FOREVER (Prod. WYT)

i cant see the light 
at the end of the tunnel
damn im broken
hoping that im here another year
i live in the moment
smoking on some pressure
got me floating
all these bitches poison
cant trust anybody but my homies
im too focused
im so lonely,
even though my phone aint ever dry
im open to my brothers
and my sisters who are hopeless 
like me
need somebody like me
hit my phone lets see
i can take yo problems from you
help you breathe
what you need
damn, all im tryna fuckin say
is if you need an ear 
to hear you out then im here, yuh
all im tryna say is if you ever need 
somebody down to ride, never lie
im here, yuh
sometimes i feel like
im in a maze, stuck for days
its a chase when you living in the matrix,
cant explain it
feeling like im gonna faint
drop dead in the paint
im just praying 
to the sky
lemme see better days
i cant see the light 
at the end of the tunnel
damn im broken
hoping that im here another year
i live in the moment
smoking on some pressure
got me floating
all these bitches poison
cant trust anybody but my homies
im too focused
im so lonely,
even though my aint every dry
im open to my brothers
and my sisters who are hopeless 
like me
need somebody like me
hit my phone lets see
i can take yo problems from you
help you breathe
what you need
smoking weed, in the trees
i look at myself inside the mirror
dont know what i see
i cant see the light 
at the end of the tunnel
damn im broken
hoping that im here another year
i live in the moment
smoking on some pressure
got me floating
all these bitches poison
cant trust anybody but my homies
im too focused
im so lonely,
even though my aint every dry
im open to my brothers
and my sisters who are hopeless 
like me
need somebody like me
hit my phone lets see
i can take yo problems from you
help you breathe
what you need
smoking weed in the trees
i look at myself inside the mirror
dont know what i see
Psilocybin, LSD
flowing through my system
seeing different dimensions
ive ascended
forget about all your past decision 
fuck your memories
history disgusting, couldn't even tell you how im living
its a cold fuckin world 
you wont even see me shiver
all the pain i had
i gave it to my liver
i remember when i put the gun 
up to my head and tried to pull the trigger

Floating (prod. rusky)

With his most diverse beat selection to date, and equally so, his most strikingly powerful approach to each record, Blake Anthony’s debut EP is a strong step forward for the Midwestern native MC now living in Tacoma, WA as of the last 5 years. Production credits range from legendary artist/producer Vitamin D of former Seattle duo, Ghetto Chilldren to Dreamville Records affiliate DJ Grumble, who recently produced “New Apartment” off of Ari Lennox’s newest album, creating a plethora of vibes and moods that guide you throughout Blake’s newest story of evolution. 

After an echoing “Now, though I was a stranger, I was home...” Vitamin D’s production on “HEAD UP” smacks you in the head with massive subs and dark choir hymns, dropping you into the black galaxy that is Blake Anthony’s music; the journey begins. The trials and tribulations are felt, yet loosely touched upon as Blake simply states, “I keep my head above the water” singing his way out of the song, and into an even darker, more sinister track: “Ziploc”. The intro starts with a shadowy chant, “Oh me oh my, Top City birth I, trip 6 on god”, trip 6 being the first 3 numbers of his zip code back in Topeka, aka “Top City”. After a dark, angry bounce with “ZIPLOC”, we step into the Jazzy single “Black Coffee” released first quarter 2019; from here, the album takes a groovy boom-bap turn, inviting sunny vibes as DJ Grumble steps into the spotlight during the second half of the EP, bringing the groove with his three credited tracks: “Black Coffee”, “Cycles”, and “Slabs”; until a sudden juxtaposition: an eerie Fred Hampton chant bleeds into a clip from the Topeka Police Department, shooting and killing Anthony’ brother’s cousin Dominique White (2017). The EP closes with production from Tacoma’s own basement DJ & Vinyl connoisseur Wffls “Stoopside”, in which Blake wraps up his thoughts in a short, 2-minute journal entry. Beyond this, a bonus track, recorded in 2016 with Yodi Mac, is given light to truly end the EP on a beautiful starry evening, riding with the homies late night, “… breaking bud in [our] millennium”
