02. SUSS - UNCOOL

Tell me what you need so I can channel it:

High

Maybe one day we'll gather it up
Maybe someday we're giving it out
Hoping some days it's rather enough 
On a sun's day we never give up
On a run way we running it up 
Enough of the talking we walking it up
I'm giving yall something to rather live up 
I'm too fucking grounded to ever let up 


Taadaa, or sim-sala-bing
Same difference in the meaning
You naa mean? 
2 generations understand it differently
It's all on common ground we find I do agree 

And I just fought the peace inside and I ain't "Be"
With that I found that weakness that caused my "happily"
So I need a week to find my enemies
And ask

"How you get closer to love?
How you lemonade all your sadness when you openin' up?
How you make excuses for billionaires you broke on the bus?
I need niggas around me rollin' up and smokin' me up
Because, because a rainforest cries
Everybody dies a little
And I just wanna dance tonight
And I just wanna dance tonight
Ah, yeah"

on this day — when, this was written, i had just been informed of a close friend’s untimely passing & naturally, i resorted to the music to map the pain out, the grief out.

hope you’re resting well, toxi — iba yidlozi elihle njayam.

okam is his surname, written backwards.

malankane, a colloquial term we use for a tall figure — a tale that i remember vividly from early childhood.

the song also references “Giant’s Tale” by SpheraQ, an interlude — a sonic masterpiece.

spawning, from the bareback of sampling — the consistent, almost loopy approach comes from a love at first glance…

having taken a taxi on a random workday, [kimetsu.] had found himself shazaming a song playing, one that he would later discover that it was unofficial Charles Webster remix & within these distinct sonics, there was a guitar, almost staring into his soul…

an 8 second soundbite, turned into a frame for a collage of sonic exhibition — a painting that Johnny Wxlf would later on, equally paint with his brush of wit, wordplay & signature cadence.

- [kimetsu.]

This song was one of those case where I had no idea what direction this song would go but I knew as soon as i heard the snippet on [kimetsu.]'s WhatsApp status I had to do something on it. This was actually the first song I ever did with [kimetsu.] I think, I might be wrong but i know this was either the first or second. The manner in which [kimetsu.] produces his work is so ancestral sonically and it doesn't take much to get invoked by his music. After the second listen I found myself singing along without even realising and ended up recording the following day. I always find myself trying my best to compliment [kimetsu.]’s music with a meaningful message and bonfire type chants because i understand that what he’s doing musically is an anomaly and its also extremely important. The intention behind this song from my side was honestly just invocation and I'm grateful [kimetsu.] allowed me to express myself freely on this.
