Alabaster is a pale stone most oft used for elegant indoor sculptures/ornaments in both ancient and current times. 

Black Alabaster is the more rare form of the mineral. The black form is found in only three veins in planet earth. (Oklahoma, Italy, China)

It was carved into stone since ancient times that we would write our own legacy. We are Black Alabaster.

What Kings Do

Odd Couple: "What Kings Do" feat Saba, Carl, & Taylor Bennett

Taken from Clear Soul Forces' new album Fab Five, produced by NAMELESS out April 28th, 2015 on Fat Beats Records!

Detroit’s Ilajide, E-Fav, Noveliss & L.A.Z. (aka Clear Soul Forces) armed with an arsenal of thunderous beats from rising producer NAMELESS combine to form the Fab Five. The group’s vision – combining Golden Era rhymes with a contemporary style – is as clear as ever here, heightened by their collective synergy with Nameless, who handles the majority of the production on the LP, reprising his role as producer to Clear Soul Forces from “Unlimited Bounce”, a highlight off of their last full-length, Gold PP7s. 

Fab Five ushers in a new era for Detroit’s storied musical tradition – the city that produced Motown, Jay Dee and Eminem has seen a revival of late, with the likes of Black Milk, Danny Brown and Royce Da 5’9” weaving the city’s rich history into their work in increasingly inventive ways. Clear Soul Forces & NAMELESS continue the tradition nodding to the Motor City’s artistic legacy while carving their own path. 

With production by NAMELESS and raps by the four Detroit emcees, the Fab Five are here to save Hip Hop the only way possible, with quality rhymes over quality beats.

LYRICS:

[Intro: Kyle]
Yeah
Would you die for, die for, die for me
Got that twinkle in your eye for me

[Verse 1: Marty Grimes]
I met her at a show some time ago
She was at the bar drunk with her two friends
I looked in her eyes and I let her know
Really I'm just fucked up as you is
Next thing you know I'm taking flights
Every weekend to her city for another night
Not knowing what to call it but just living life
We was loving it
Not even worried 'bout no other shit
She told me she was falling fast pretty quick
So I had to ask when she walked in

[Hook: Kyle] x2
I'm just saying would you die for me
I'm staring at you seeing that you got that
Twinkle in your eye for me
Never hold back show me that you gon' ride for me
Never lie to me, I'm just saying would you die for me
Would you die for me, would you die for me

[Verse 2: Marty Grimes]
Not even tripping she stay persistent and keeps me lifted
Flew to Cali cause we were tired of all the distance
God as my witness man she bad as hell
I be walking down the street these niggas mad as hell
Like nah, nah he ain't do it yeah I did it
See I found her at the start tryna take her to the finish
If I'm gone for a minute would you hold me down
If I needed you to tell me would you show me how
Different city new girls at another show
I see you tryna get the crown but I gotta know
If you down to roll, cuz fame come and go
Yeah I'm asking everything and a little more
But being perfect isn't something that you gotta do
Cause if you're rough around the edges I can polish you
I'm tryna make it to my moms while we're driving too
But first we gotta make a stop or two

[Hook]

[Bridge: Christoph Andersson]
Once was not enough for me
Believe me just forget the past tonight
It's getting hard for me to sleep
Just keep me up and you'll be here tonight
I'll lie and say that I don't need you
Saying things that I don't mean to
It's obvious that you can feel me now
I wanted you to know so...

[Hook]

Vic Spencer. Ugh...

It's almost time for the world to witness two of the most prolific MCs from Chicago shake a planet (as Vic would say) with a EP entitled VicTree (Victory), which drops Tuesday 6/30. This Weed & Clothes should be able to hold us off, but when I spoke to Vic he told me that he's been holding this record for 3 years.

"Yeah, we recorded that at Tree crib 3 years ago in his living room", Vic says as he reflected on how him and Tree started recording together. "Tree always wants to record-he's one of the most hard working guys I know. Tree chooses the artist that he likes to do projects with and thats what VicTree is. Vic Spencer on a visit to soultrapville. It's so different than anything that I've dropped. But I remained myself the entire visit."

Weed & Clothes is the beginning of a classic project. We will leave it at that.
