Everlasting

Sons Of The James "I Want More"

CNTRL

Here's a track from my Spring EP, a collaboration with my good friend Montell Fish. The EP comes out 5/5/17. ✌🏼

Spring

In The Ocean (ft. Montell Fish)

Agape

Intro:
(Anni Best) Overwhelmed in You, 
Eternally with You, 
Agape love, Agape

(Machi) Aye cuz we can’t keep rapping all these deep words and they ain’t trynna read the lyrics,

I’m boutta rock on the beat with the Rock with me, 
Spit these soliloquies and let them freeze,

Verse One - Machi:
As far as fact is from fiction goes the diction,
Pensively scribbling, plot thickens,
This dense penmanship I’m endless with, while they wishin,
But I’m a Christian and fixed in His image, (what did you expect) what should I depict? 
Simply imagine it, 
This intricate, incubated sequence of flows the Three-in-One-Man syndicate bestowed,
Through such inspired I wrote the prose, free form composed,
Those that once groaned hold the gaze, pay manifold witness to the Truth so portrayed,
The Stone was rolled away, He left the grave to pave a way though post-betrayed, 
We don’t deserve His grace,
Don’t care if I irritate, ends justifying the means but I can’t be crooked to set it straight, 
So I said it straight, let me elaborate,
The Prophet came so we’d profit, endured hate, Christ’s so immaculate,
Had to proclaim the only Name able to emancipate,
Syntactical not fantastical, hope this message permeates,
And I hope we reach the pearly gates.

Hook:
Overwhelmed in You,
Eternally with You,
Agape love, Agape,

Overwhelming you,
Eternally with You,
Agape love, Agape

(Rich) It's like 5:45, Ri¢h

Verse Two - Ri¢h:
Don't you hear the fire burning?
They tried to see if I'd compromise for higher earnings, 
He tryna see if we drop despise and take up Love,
But when we pray its just self absorbed forget the blood,
It's a sin to kill a mockingbird, 
So when I’m shapin all these bars the architecture founded on His word,
See I’m just tryna spread a lil Joy to people,
He let me in and He aint even check the peep hole,
Pullup with that Blanco horse when its the sequel, 
Praises up to Abba cuz my Taylor play swift,
I be singing I don't shift the key,
There's references but don't forget to drop the key shift,
Gen. 2 Sev medulla  oblongata,
Lets get back to Eden where we move bachata,
Get a taste and you would get to see,
His tongue could quiet up the wildest of the 7 seas

Hook

Verse Three - Machi and Ri¢h:
Machi - 
Bass lick accentuates my delivery, 
Going back to the basics expedited my deliverance,
Feel sheer glee, Scripture grants replenishment, surely I’ll share glee,
Tongues speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, you heard me,

Ri¢h -
Affirmative, 10-4 the weapons that we rockin arent flesh,
Sinking when you puttem to the test,
He always check my mates and made the promise wit his chest,
Submit to his will and Ima blacksmith movin wit the sharpest of steels,

Machi -
Make a point off the steal more of a reclaiming, 
Took back musicality, zeal actualized, forreal, proclaiming the Name,
Peeped lyrics used for blasphemy so came in for the kill, such a thrill-, errrkin the rest of the game, but it’s ok, Love sustaining

Ri¢h -
We reached the limits, as we function kno sky is next,                                                     
We set the standards, mark the bar, covered by the mark of God,                                           
Equipped with armor never to touch a scar,                                                                      
Bezalel depicted Lion he won it all.

Agape - Machi, Ri¢h and Anni Best

"Happy" / "Things I Should Have Said" two-sided single out now: smarturl.it/sotjhappy

Sons Of The James is a new duo project from singer/songwriter Rob Milton and producer/musician DJ Harrison, inspired by a blend of classic Gospel music and early 2000's Soulquarians era R&B and Soul.

The B-side, featuring the legendary Georgia Anne Muldrow (the literal inventor of the phrase "stay woke" on the Erykah Badu song "Master Teacher"), was recently featured on season 4 of Issa Rae's hit show 'Insecure' on HBO. 

Rob Milton had this to say about the project's inception – "In 2015 I recorded the album of my dreams in Richmond, Virginia with DJ Harrison. Sad to say that the energy was similar at the time [as it is now]. I was coming home from BLM protests and writing songs about love to escape from the anger."

In support of Black Lives Matter, all label income from Bandcamp sales of this single will be matched by Fresh Selects and donated to various bail fund charities and organizations fighting to defund the police.

"Inhale The Sky"

Hold on, 
stay in control

There’s a reason

Make your way, 
live, grow and get old

Don’t let automation
take over your soul

Listen to yourself,
let your heart melt

Listen to yourself 
everyday

Everyday

Ordeal Erasure

Mirror Gazer "Inhale The Sky"

Isaiah 40

Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

The debut single from LAPIS – a singer, musician, and producer from Auckland, New Zealand

Maxi-single with instrumental and single edit out now: freshselects.bandcamp.com/album/blue-in-orange

"I recorded the first version of this song in 2013 when I was turning 18. I came back more than once over the next 1-2 years. 

At the 2:57 mark I back come in to look back on what happened from a different perspective. In doing so I was able to process the story, that period in my life again, on a deeper level. 

At 2:57 it is like a reality check.. “Shit, this is what was really going down..” And the rest of the song – with the extended dance section and the darker tone – is really a grieving process, both for what was, and the dreams that never really were – the dreams of idealised love that never held any water. It is also a catharsis and transformation, of the pain and confusion. 

This reflective and retrospective process, captured as ‘Blue in Orange’ allowed me to tie this up and move on –> from blue into orange!"

"Girl, I left you a note, 
What it said - I don’t even know 
But can't you reply? 
Even if you say no...

Girl, I left you a note, 
What it said - I don’t even know 
But can't you reply? 
Even if you say no...

See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone..
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone.. 
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone.. 
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone..

Ooh, ooh, ooh, my love 

Girl, I left you a letter
What it said - I didn't know better.
What I wrote - down I blush, 
Now when I think about it.

Girl, I wrote you a play, 
Starring me and you in the way, 
In which I thought it should be. 
But I didn't give you no say..."

Today i'm honored to be sharing the great 'Amber Haze' new release titled 'Always Luxurious'. It contains eight wonderful tracks that shifts in mood, rhythm and energy and keeps giving your mind a great journey in style. I would personally say he's a bit before his time with creating this sound, you can see more producers & rappers aiming for this nostalgic feeling and Amber Haze is definitely one of the pioneers since he's been doing this for a while - I hope you enjoy the vibes but also appreciate the change in flavors in this tape. You're in for a treat with this one!

Thank you to everyone that's been showing support & following us lately, highly appreciated during these times. Make sure to show appreciation towards Amber Haze as well on his social media.
