Haunted by You

“Spray Paint Dreams (Get Up)” — one of the oldest stories in my catalog, written almost 20 years ago with my brother-in-bars, Cas.
This song wouldn’t exist without him. The second verse is my ode — to friendship, to late nights chasing the skyline, to every dream we tagged across Chicago’s bones.

A blues-trap street chronicle for the writers, rebels, and ghosts of the 773.
From the Red Line to the rooftops — this one’s for those who still get up. 🎧🧱🚆

Get Up (Spray Paint Dreams)

This album is dedicated to Franz Kuppler, with whom I shared a deep friendship and who passed away in his time, and reminds us that he is always with us whenever we perceive it.

Sea Of Flames

Street

(Intro)
Puff, Puff, Pass...

(Verse 1)
You see the smoke and assume the brain is slow, just another lazy stoner with nowhere to go, but you're crawling in the dust while I'm breakin’ light speed, this ain't a handicap, it's plantin’ a new seed.

(Verse 2)
This ain't a party, it's a tool for the mind, leaving your cookie-cutter logic far behind, you see a burnout haze, lost and confused, I see a weapon of intellect properly used, you call it an escape, a weakness, a flaw, I call it a new standard, Crunchy’s unwritten law.

(Chorus)
I don't puff this weed just to get myself numb, I spark it up so the square folks don't seem so spun, this ain't a handicap it's a grand opportunity, givin’ all the Normies a shot at unity, I'm slowin’ my roll so you can keep up the pace, givin’ you a chance to compete in this race.

(Bridge)
So judge the smoke, I don't give a damn what you see, you're playing checkers, I'm playin’ 4D, this ain't a crutch, it's a gear shift in the brain, washin’ out the havoc, bringing on the rain, you call it getting wasted, I call it getting clear, eliminatin’ all the static in the air.

(Chorus)
I don't puff this weed just to get myself numb, I spark it up so the square folks don't seem so spun, this ain't a handicap it's a damn opportunity, givin’ all the Normies a shot at unity, I'm slowin’ my roll so you can keep up the pace, givin’ you a chance to compete in this race.

(Verse 3)
You smell the smoke and assume my brain is slow, just another dirtbag stoner with nowhere to go, but you're crawlin’ in the dust while I'm breaking light speed, this ain't a detriment, it's plantin’ a new seed.

(Outro)
Puff, Puff, Pass…

Puff-Puff-Pass

By RUIN | Composed in Digital Verse™

This version of Burnin’ Glow carries the warmth of roots reggae —
sunlight through smoke, rhythm through reflection.
It’s one of several Digital Verse Creations™ born from the same written lyrics,
each rendered into a new sonic world through the AI composition process.

I didn’t compose the beat or set the cadence —
I wrote the story, the pulse, the tone.
The machine heard it… and answered back with sound.

Where the original Burnin’ Glow lives in blues-trap soul,
this one radiates pure island energy —
Fender guitars, golden haze, and that easy groove that feels like summer never ends.

This track is part of my Vault Series — “Ledger Leftovers”
featuring alternate creations that didn’t make The Devil’s Ledger album,
but still carry its spirit.

☀️ Vibe. Float. Let it glow.

Burnin’ Glow (Digital Verse: Reggae Universe)

"I Will Obey" is a soulful, country-gospel worship song about walking in the Word of God and living faith through action. With raw emotion and heartfelt conviction, it blends southern rock warmth, gospel soul, and acoustic honesty. The lyrics speak of trust, surrender, and daily devotion — a reminder that true faith isn't just following God's Word, but obeying it with every step, every choice, and every moment of life.

I Will Obey

A smoky-bar triphop drift with steel-guitar soul.
“Martinez” blends warm pedal-steel slides, late-night Rhodes chords, and a slow-burn hip-hop pulse.
Cinematic, moody, and made for after-hours — inspired by my grandfather’s 1950s steel guitar roots, reimagined through the 40 Spirits lens.

Week 2 of the Honolulu Paul Sessions.

Martinez

Aurora born, RUIN79 is a sonic architect who refuses to exist inside a genre.
He creates across every dimension: trap, blues, drill, steel-guitar fusion, lo-fi jazz, ambient noir, cinematic storytelling, experimental hip-hop, and whatever world the Digital Verse™ demands.

His music isn’t defined by a sound — it’s defined by intention, emotion, and fearless creativity.
Every track is a portal. Every project, a new universe.
