In this sick 
And sad society 
Were distracted 
By the masses and 
That truth that be 
Chasing thrills 
In search of dopamine 
Finding 
drugs 
That get us high 
To numb the pain 
That seeps 
Deep within 
This is a bitter dream 
Torn apart 
All of our seems 
The furthest thing 
From teams 
Love is lost 
This is a tragedy 
How did this things turn out so 
 wrong 
This isn’t what it seems 

God please save us from me
Guide  be gently 
I don’t feel that good today
Please just keep the sin away 

Something right 
Feels so wrong 
Late night drives 
To this song 
Reminiscing 
Younger days 
Cos light was brighter
Now it’s gone 

Hard to sleep 
Getting long 
Wide awake 
Deep among 
Damaged souls 
Who long for answers 
Why their hearts 
Were stomped on 

In this dark 
And cold society 
Making fun of the weak 
And chasing clout for free 
Damaged goods 
Forget priorities 
Placing money over worship 
hooked on symphonies 
Now we’ve lost 
All sense of sanity 
Taking pride in temporary 
No humanity 
Oh Wrapped in lust
What is this fever dream 
Watching murder day to day
They turn it to a meme

GOD SAVE US

5. Pounds - Omerta - Prod. Fith

One of underground rap’s most distinctive and talented voices returns as Rochester, N.Y. native Pounds delivers his latest hard-hitting effort, ‘TUNA.’ The follow-up to 2016’s stellar ‘Heavy Lies The Crown,’ this project packs some serious tough talk and hard-nosed bars into its nine tracks that center on the troubled life of a kingpin.

As you can hear through his raps, Pounds is most definitely about the life he outlines in his rhymes—to the point that it’s actually rap that got him out of trouble some years ago. After a troubled youth spent in and out of jail, he focused on his love of Hip-Hop to get his life back on track. And as he continues to make good on that goal, we’re blessed with the inventive and vivid street tales heard on ‘TUNA.’

The project is brought to life not just through Pounds’ raps, but also through the clever usage of samples from Breaking Bad (“I am the one who knocks!”) and Blow, among others. Those quotes help shape the story, but it’s Pounds who brings everything together. He’s on his epic-rap-narrative sh*t on closer “Dues,” delivers tag-team villainous raps with Conway The Machine on “Gone Tomorrow,” and spits vulnerable bully bars on “Pee Wee Kirkland.” For example: “Beat you with a bat/ You rather take the gun route/ Squeezin’ with the mac/ You take the food up out my son’s mouth.”

Those touches of humanity are what make ‘TUNA’ larger than your typical bad-guy rap project, and they’re also what continue to make Pounds such a compelling figure in the independent rap circuit. Be sure to keep an eye out for the release of ‘TUNA ‘and also the New York rapper’s forthcoming international tour dates.

‘TUNA’ is now available Soundcloud for streaming and Bandcamp for purchase, via KSD.
