Lyrics:
Verse 1 
And for my dogs 
It's life or death when the viper's steps lead 'em in hell 
Treat 'em as frail feel my righteous texts read 'em in brail 
Is it mainstream to dream yo neither can tell 
We carry the same genes from the fiends in eden that fell 
Freedom or jail our choices through these alleys and streets 
Fuel the voices in the valleys and peaks that propagate as a 
Sound wave we're slaves but we've raised newfound ways 
To get paid and get up off the ground through crowd praise 
So play the music loud you now face the crowned 
Whose nouns blaze a mile above the clouds to sprout rays 
And get you around blue down days who doubts true 
Rhyme grace Hex already knew how you clowns sways 
My shrewd style's bru-tal you child's play 
But all these new smiles is wild strange the rest is has-beens 
With cash I invest in mad pens smash ten 
Before you get to digest the last gem 
The def assassin I'm colder than the specs in Aspen 
The flow that you spitters flex is trash bin so 
Let me shout and show you what this rep about 
While you sit back and just 

Chorus 
Cause I don't know 
Where I am where I've been where I'll go 
But I've never had a feeling like this before so 
I'ma let the music rock and just flow 
And I don't know 
Where I am where I've been where I'll go 
Will I stand will I sin will I grow 
I don't know 

Verse 2 
I was exposed to the elements but I broke the code and rose to 
Excellence and now flows show prose through intelligence 
Do shows for delegates who relish its relevance 
While the jealous ones will seldom embellish its elegance 
Man fuck it this music I do this shit 'cause I love it 
While these losers moving units abuse it and take advantage of it 
And you support that right but not the raw rap type 
It starts with you the consumer is where the fault's at 
So fall back cause everything's a bit extreme 
Your big dream is a little darker than that picnic scene 
And trust son if I wanted a get rich quick scheme 
I wouldn't do it trying to spit sixteens 
Or trying to nitpick through six second clips trying to flip sick beats 
Half a millions clicks and finally some shit fits sweet 
Cats will sell their soul for fame if you won't ass kissing 
Whack spitters cause they got a bigger name and you don't 
Shit welcome to the rap life and son you better get your cash right 
There ain't a lot of money when you smash mics 
And for you half pints that got deals that life is not real 
If your Glock peels for rocks and them hot wheels 
In them streets thuggin' stunting within a budget 
But no publishing thinking this whole industry's bugging 
It's rough kid I feel you it's still true there's a lot that cats will do 
For mills through this ill zoo 

Chorus

Hex One - Where I'll Go (Produced by Klaus Layer)

No one confronts the abyss better than Chris Orrick. The Michigan ex-factory worker formerly known as Red Pill has spent the last half-decade documenting industrial decay, familial pain, and struggles with addiction better than almost anyone inhabiting this poisoned soil. It’s somewhere between Charles Bukowski and Michael Moore, or maybe Atmosphere if he couldn’t ignore the arsenic in the air. 

As Orrick tells it, “Portraits,” his latest album for Mello Music Group is a return to form. 

“I tried to strip everything down to what I think I'm best at: simple, concise portraits of who I am,” Orrick says. “Whether that be finding myself through self-portraits, portraits of everyday workers, portraits of the current political moment or portraits of myself told through the eyes of people I encounter daily.” 

From the corroded arteries of the blue-collar heartland, Orrick emerges as one of the most incisive and savage critics of Trump’s America. If the American dream is dead, he unflinchingly lays the blame on avaricious corporations, crude demagogues, and structural racism. There’s nothing polemical about it: just warm-hearted, sad-eyed, gin-flooded depictions of a life where there are few right answers but a litany of wrong ones. 

The Michigan native is an acerbic poet, but too unpretentious and sarcastic to ever call himself that. In his love letter to his long-time girlfriend (“Lazy Buddies”), Orrick fantasizes about the pair decamping to a town an hour outside of Paris, where they can blissfully split a bottle of cheap wine. Then he mocks himself for being a little corny. But that’s part of its charm—through his ruthless honesty, we can see ourselves as we actually are—prone to idle delusions, indolence, and self-obsessed. 

“Portraits can often be overlooked, but there are so many details in the face that tell innumerable stories about what the person portrayed might have been feeling or going through,” Orrick continues. “I'm trying to find those details, within myself and within America today." 

On “Anywhere Instead,” he grouses about how most days he doesn’t want to leave his bed until noon, staring at his phone, wishing for imminent death. It’s a nothing matters, gallows humor that anoints him a laureate of existential dread. He captures the terror of the void, the ambiguity of not knowing where or when your next direct deposit will hit. He’s wise enough to understand how little he understands, allergic to cheap irony or forced symbolism. As he points out on stories, “not every story has a meaning, not every moment has a reason, sometimes you just let the music play and tell you what to say.” 

It’s obvious how loudly the music speaks to Orrick, who is rarely short of opinions or serrated observation. The somber piano-based melancholy and rugged drums of “Portraits” thump via a gifted arsenal of producers including Nolan the Ninja, L’Orange, Exile, Apollo Brown, and Onra. Only two guest rappers appear, Fashawn and Orrick’s partner in Ugly Heroes, Verbal Kent. Orrick carries the rest of the weight and you sense the Atlas burden he shoulders. 

But for the all the poignant complaints, there’s a soulful profundity at the core of the album. It goes further than stress over bills, nicotine and liquor compulsions, and a search for deeper revelation. If you can hear a song like “Mom” without slightly crumbling, you might be iron-born. It’s a eulogy for Orrick’s late mother, dead at 45 without seeing her children grow up, without the opportunity to take pride in her son’s ability to realize his dream—however flawed it can occasionally seem. It’s here where you sense the power of these Portraits. They capture the pain that too many of us feel, that manifests itself in so many distinct ways. For a little while, we understand the raw f&cked up complexity of what it means to be a human being in a lunatic world. The portrait is personal, but it’s all of us too.

My Aching Heart

Back in 2011 Baltimore emcee Substantial was facing the possibility of cancer.  He ended up having preventive surgery and while laid up, decided to start working on a tribute album to Jill Scott, one of his biggest influences.  It was his was of staying busy while healing, and at the same time to give people their roses while they could still smell them.  The result is a free project Substantial calls "Jackin' Jill" - a tribute project from built by "Jackin" music from various Jill Scott releases. This collection of reworks and remixes of her work blended by DJ Jav form a cohesive pseudo collaboration focused on life, love & music.
 
Today, as Substantial heads back into the doctor's for a follow up examine 2 years later, we are unveiling the cover art (drawn by Substantial himself) from the 17 track project.  Additionally, we're giving listeners a taste of what's to come with the track "Golden Lady" - a reworking of the amazing Stevie Wonder track from "Innervisions" that Substantial uses to play off the track Golden from Jill Scott's Beautifully Human album (the last song Kool Herc played at Substantial's wedding).  Substantial adds to this Marcus D produced tribute track the gorgeous vocals of Steph The Sappic Songstress.  Be sure to listen to Marcus D on piano throughout as well.  The result is a richly layered, beautiful new track from one of Baltimore's most thoughtful and talented artists, Substantial.
