Money is the root of all evil. "Kids will rob and kill for the loot/ young lives catch a really raw deal and that's the truth/ bright futures go up in the air life poof/ I got proof/. "

Do what you need to do to support your family's needs, but down allow getting money to make you lose sight of what's important in this life. At the end of the day... "You can't take that money with you when you die..." This song is featured on the new album entitled "Aspire To Inspire". The full album is out RIGHT NOW!! on http://esmuzik.bandcamp.com. $3 digital download. $5 hard copy purchase. Your generous support is welcomed and greatly appreciated. Much love!!

Lyrics:

From knocking on heaven's door to bell chiming on hell's gate
The devil dangled forbidden fruit those destined for hell ate
The weakness of man...weakened by glam and the superficial
Conceivably damned, repeatedly scammed to pursue the issue
Of success by excess, it's more than dollars and cents
Man, it's a sense of belonging when you long for success
By any means necessary justified by the ends
Friends turn to foes and pretend...hence the time to make amends
It all depends on the agenda...money can turn loyal into pretender
Really... ain't no telling where you can end up
Enslaved by the currency, chasing paper with urgency
Searching for ways, submerging the pain for the gains certainly
That soul's momentarily solely a sole memory
Sold for gold, the goal for souls with no sensory
...Vision, that of a tunnel, with periphary blindspots
But life is an open road holmes you blissfully mind locked

Hook:

For the loot, shooooot...one of the evils that men do
One of many dividers making people resentful
Some people will go to hell and back to grip on a dollar bill
Soul's entrenched by the notion but a lot of it's ill-
Conceived...believing in salvation from currency
The single highest contributor to sins done currently
The weakness of man, weakness of woman go hand in hand
Inferiority complex not a part of the plan
Victimized by the lies and corporate interests
Ignorance is what supports their existence for instance
That little boy with a perception that's blurred
Single mother household, father figure's the curb
Inspiration his favourite rapper busting gats and tools
Packs to move...never cared to go to class or school
The face of a generation trying to find themselves
Lost in a matrix of information all by themselves
Nowhere to turn...seems like every turn is a cliff
Mind already manipulated by the burn of a spliff 
Or better yet these hooligans packing burners for chips
Not concerned with the risk, not concerned the risk

Hook (2x)
1. for the loot...kids'll rob and kill...for the loot
2. Young lives catch a really raw deal and that's the truth
3. Bright futures go up in the air life poof 
4. I got proof...

Mo money, mo problems...yeah we've heard it before
So instead of searching for scores, you ought to search for the Lord's
Grace...caught up in between a rock and a hard place
The quest for affluence is a far chase
Star gaze into the heavens, appreciate life...man it's a blessing
'Cause 6 feet deep is where we're destined
And the weapon of truth sometimes concealed by the lies
You can't take that money with you...when you die....
Open up your third eye...get the picture?
Re-write your life's scripture and make the edit a fixture
That you live by and follow...live today and look forward unto tomorrow
No point jumping hurdles to end in sorrow
Follow your dreams with some practicality in mind
Don't let false imagery on television catch you in a bind
If material things define you, not a lot can refine you
At this point the devil's drafted a deal and just signed you

Local Focus Segment - Worcester

Iain Mckenzie and I spent the last 20 minutes of our show dissecting the Worcester property market, identifying key performers and trends among Estate and Letting Agents in the area.

Final Thoughts:

As we step into the second month 2024, the property market continues to show promising signs of strength and resilience. Yet it's vital, however, to approach each week with a strategic mindset. Estate Agents - Your goal remains 100% clear: Engage in proactive prospecting for new properties to sell, ensure accurate valuations (dont forget only 52.8% of homes you try to sell in 2023 exchanged and completed), and focus great sales progression to get the sale through to exchange.

B{ee}RENNER [LANCE REGO]

Remastered

Detta är ett beat som borde gjorts av Dr Dre själv, som lovade oss Albumet Detox för hundra år sedan. Ett rent mästerverk blev detta. Väldigt komplex mixing med alla detaljer, men alltid kul när det blir bra! Spenderat massor med timmar på att mixa denna rätt, är hyfsat nöjd nu, men aldrig nöjd. Beatet blev dock en riktig BANGER med orchestra vibes, typiskt & inspirerat av ingen annan än legenden som startade det hela, Dr Dre.

BPM: 92

This Is Detox

Based out of Mississauga, Es is an avid fan of hiphop as well as a student of hiphop. Inspired by influences from the golden era of hip hop and music in general, Es makes a conscious effort to take it back to the essence of hip hop...hard beats and raw rhymes. Since 1991, Es has been writing rhymes as a therapeutic release. Fast forward 30 years and he is still as passionate now as he was as a teenager.


As a now proud husband and father of three, he finds solace in sharing his perspectives on life through the lens of maturity and wisdom. His lyrics speak truth, with a level of honesty that makes his material relatable. 


Having released his first solo album in 2012, Es has continued to grow his catalogue to a total of 7 and counting. His 7th and most recent release dropped Feb 2023. Es’ music is hiphop’s breath of fresh air.
