Get Down with Illa J and Amp Fiddler. Introducing Illa J’s second single “Get Down.” This track offers a glimpse into the creative life of John Yancey, a versatile artist known for his skills as both a rapper and singer-songwriter. “Get Down” is from his upcoming album “No Traffic,” which is entirely written and produced by Illa J himself.

On this soulful track, Illa J is joined by Detroit legend Amp Fiddler on the hook. Fiddler’s contributions to the music industry are vast, having worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Prince, Moodymann, and J Dilla. Speaking of J Dilla, it’s a ‘Fantastic’ fact that Amp Fiddler is credited with introducing Illa J’s older brother to the Akai MPC in the ’90s? That revolutionary moment changed the direction of music forever.

But let’s get back to Illa J’s lyrical prowess. In “Get Down,” John’s playful style and delivery are on full display as he runs through various aliases from JohnClef to JohnDWayne. With this track, Illa J showcases his musical versatility and gives listeners a glimpse into his world and creative processes. As the chorus says: “They Don’t Know,” and this is your chance to find out.

If you’re a fan of Illa J, don’t miss the chance to pre-order “No Traffic,” his first solo album on the iconic label BBE Music. And if you’re new to his music, “Get Down” is the perfect introduction to this talented artist. Finally, you can rest assured that this track is mastered with love by the Carvery Studios. So what are you waiting for? Get down with Illa J and Amp Fiddler today!

Lyrics:

"I Think"
Written by Lane Beckstrom

Thrown away like sand 
in an hourglass that has no past
Soldiers run like water does
in singular gardens all across the globe 

We could see and think
like iPods sync, but
thinking up takes luck,
when the sound you hear 
goes down, down, down

I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise 
in a balloon size coffin

All aboard the train of thought,
We will ride away until the valley stops
Look ahead, I never said, 
It would ever be easy to caress my mind

I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise 
in a balloon size coffin

Maybe we can think about something that won’t make us sad...

I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise 
in a balloon size coffin

ttwig 'Mindless Meadow' album out November 10th – stream the first three singles and pre-order the album now: fsx.lnk.to/ttwig-mm

"i really wanted to make an epic psych rock song with no drums, reminiscent of some of my influences from the late 60’s. something with lyrics that held wisdom & could serve as a mantra. a gentle reminder to open your eyes & really take in what’s going on rather than distracting ourselves into oblivion. (side note: i always picture mumbo jumbo from banjo kazooie when the “OO, AH” vocals come in at the end hahaha)

Lyrics:

Open the door,
though you may not feel like it
Go and explore,
through the maze, you’ll be guided
Hear what the shore
has to say in the moment
Face to the floor,
you can’t see where you’re going
(So once in a while…)

Once in a while…
Once in a while…
(Open your eyes)
Once in a while…

Go to the core,
all the way to your kindness
Oh, what a bore,
all the days you were blinded
Now that you’ve grown
from the heat of the moment
Face all the doors,
you can breathe when they’re opened
(So once in a while…)

Once in a while…
Once in a while…
(Open your eyes)
Once in a while…

Once in a while, you’ll have to make that change
You don’t want it to feel the same now, do ya?

Lyrics:

I wanna fast forward
Open the book and take a look, past the foreword
We only see four letter words
and I wanna go where the animal is unheard

If i could just rewind,
I would wanna go back to the time, when we had time,
just to fly around each other, like a couple butterflies –
Brown eyes, you're the monarch of my mind
I think you're the queen of my thoughts
I’m waking up thinking about what does
a monkey ever really want
I feel like a wolf in the back of the pack
Behind time, never in front
Rat race, I'm last and you're late

Do you ever wanna go
somewhere where no one knows that we are animals?
And do you know how sad I am
when a whole human breaks away the better half?
With that half glass, you won’t last

I think I’m picking up your scent
I sent a letter just to feel like
a person not an insect
If Samsa had a Samsung,
he probably would’ve called his mom,
but something in the water said no

We’re the only species that stares into a TV
and knows how we compound our sediment
When you broke the mirror, did you see yourself clearer,
and know now is the time to look around?

We’re the only species that stares into a TV
and knows how we compound our sediment
When you broke the mirror, did you see yourself clearer,
and know now is the time...?

Do you ever wanna go
somewhere where no one knows that we are animals?
And do you know how sad I am
when a whole human breaks away the better half?
With that half glass, you won’t last

Highlight from the debut LP by ttwig, the psych-inspired pseudonym of Figmore vocalist, JUICEB☮X – out now on Fresh Selects: fsx.lnk.to/ttwig

"written on a day when i was feeling extra low, 'Waking Up' is about dealing with depression. knowing you’re in a funk but unable to break out of it. as something i’ve learned to live with since a young age, i wanted to turn this feeling/experience into something sonically beautiful. after all, being able to feel any emotion whether it is pleasant or not means you are alive, & that’s pretty tight."

lyrics:

Can someone wake me up?
Although I wish I was
in my dream,
safe from harsh reality
I need
space where I can truly be
myself

Can someone shake it up?
I’m almost halfway done
& I bleed,
but i don’t feel a thing at all
Two weeks,
in and off of stable thoughts
Oh, please

I’m losing faith 'n trust,
& what you say is wrong,
& I see life distorting endlessly,
& it breaks me up,
but i’m waking up
to see

Can someone wake me up?
Although I wish I was
in my dream,
safe from harsh reality,
I need
space where I can truly be
myself

Can someone shake it up?
(I know I think too much)
I’m losing faith 'n trust,
& I see life distorting endlessly,
& it breaks me up,
so don’t wake me up
