Klevah’s GLDN EP is a more vibrant, colorful and concise reimagining of the original Golden record, released on last year’s Black Friday. In celebration of the project’s one-year anniversary and the vast opportunities that it has drawn, Klevah was urged to continue this momentum and revisit her latest work with a new set of ears, eyes, convictions and imaginations, as well as maintaining some of her original ideas. The GLDN EP will consist of a few Golden remixes and new material combined with original content, all produced by Rokmore of TheGr8Thinkaz. Similar to the original work, Klevah explores a multitude of topics ranging from her rise to greatness, to the power she holds as a woman in Hip-Hop, from her sensuality and spirituality, to her movements and life moments. One of the campaign’s key phrases is “It’s GLDNSZN. Stay Lit”, encouraging listeners to seek love, light and knowledge from others and from themselves. This theme is weaved throughout the entire EP, and is an integral part of Klevah’s personal and artistic make-up. Klevah is an authentic, dynamic, and passionate Emcee, ready to stake claim in the industry and spread her energy universally. We invite you to join her experience. #GLDN drops Black Friday

LYRICS:
and i write and i write and i write and i write
sit down in my room and i write till the night
it's ok it's ok it's ok it's alright
get down by myself 
why not spit a few i might
ima dreamer i'm a dreamer i ain't settlin for shit
work for what i want cause
ima work for what i get 
flows cold as frozen in the middle of the winter
i was born a sinner
also born a winner
winner Delete repeated word chicken dinner 
ding ding your times up
sit yo ass down time to back the fuck up
surrounded by all these closed minded kids in a classroom
teacher please excuse me can please use the bathroom cause i 
gotta get away
gotta get away
how much time is left 
im waiting for the bell to ring
bunch of bullshit running round 
inside my brain
get me outa here 
bell come and save my day

ima innovator
creative genius
there ain't no stopping
fly away like a phoenix 
i got no problems 
with y'all runnin in circles 
take a head start 
if y'all runnin in circles 
ok too fast
run it back
bring it back
mattys too fly 
wit no tie 
wit no ties
y'all just fantasize 
bout my future life
bout my future wife 
what a pretty night
that's what they said from outside
cause i'm working inside
how you been? 
you alright?
you seem a little bit different
since i saw you the other night
i'm in school
i'm still young
i'm still cool
but not too fun
baby don't get twisted 
not a race but i still run

gotta get away
gotta get away
how much time is left
i'm waiting for the bell to ring
bunch of bullshit 
runnin round inside my brain
get me outta here bell come and save my day

say hi

Get Away (prod. Rocco.)

This beat  is laced with a heavy sample played on  the intro, chorus, and outro! T.Mabry and Gill Graff collab on something that's bound to catch fire and everyone's attention.  T.Mab's verse reflects on his early childhood (growing up in Flint, Mi) before releasing on a storm exposing his true feelings towards the system, the inner city lifestyle and the suburbs. Overall the track is one of a kind and recommended for all listener's to check it  out..
You won't be let down!
