Hatchback Chronicles

Pursuing something like this hollows you out in a sense.  
It takes and takes and takes.

You believe you're doing the right thing.  
And that people will see that and join you.

And then it's just you screaming alone in a dark room.

This is the shortest project I've released, and one that took the longest to create and refine.  Thank yous belong to the following people (and only them):

Supakou, ash.ØK, Kush, Rianjali, Kasper Lee, Peter Humphreys, Ash of Mithu N Ash, and those who I tried my hardest to have involved in this but simply did not want to be.

Yes, the girl exists. 

I thank all the contributors for their wonderful soundscapes, and visuals that helped me present this body of work to the world.  Divya, thank you for dealing with my incessant changes and indecision.  Napoleon for helping me start this journey, SubConscience for helping me continue it, and Drew for helping me put it to rest.  And speaking of rest, my eternal gratitude to Drew for toiling endlessly on this project for me, amidst all his other work.  You really saved me on this.

Thank you to the fans for allowing me to lead you in yet another direction.  Your support is humbling and reminds me of why I’m doing this.

I’ve had to play this one pretty close to the chest and so it really is a project born out of how I felt.  No one else gave opinions or directions, it’s all me.  

There’s a lot more of this story to tell, but I think I’ve given you enough of me for this go-around.  I don’t want you to get sick of me.

This project is a gamble, and I hope it works out for the best.

This EP is an act of rebellion.

I’ve been told for too long that I should stop. 
That I should give up.
That I will fail.

Instead, I found strength in the negative and found a cause worth fighting for.
A cause that renewed my strength, silenced the voices, and allowed me to trudge on.

That cause is you.

Those who don’t take no for an answer;
those for whom perseverance and solitude go hand in hand.

Everybody is a rebel in their own way, whether you work a 9-to-5 or risk it all for something greater. We’ve all been told we can’t do something, that it’s impossible; and we’ve all had that moment where we’ve proven them wrong.

This is my moment.

I dedicate this project to, and I thank, you. The rebels.

"Brown Boy Lost", is the first official release from his forthcoming project, "Letters from Agrabah".

 Following on the heels of the hard-hitting "Welcome", BBL finds Kaly taking the listener even further into the underbelly of Agrabah - this time into the minds of its inhabitants.  As Kaly says, "We don't have anything to be proud of as brown people - to the outside world we are the shy, timid, little people that don't bother anybody.  We've been put in that box for so long that even we believe we can't achieve anything greater.  Fuck that.  This song is our superhero music.  When you hear this come on I want you to scrunch up your face, I want you to feel like you're looking down on the whole world.  They used to tell me I was lost because I didn't follow the path I was told to follow.  Turns out, I knew where I was going the whole time."

The "Letters from Agrabah" project is a reinterpretation of the classic Disney movie, Aladdin, and utilizes well-known and esoteric South-Asian samples in order to paint a picture of the modern day brown boy going from the bottom to the top.

"Now, we write our own history."

Wishin' (Now Look)(Prod. by Gifted the Great)

Welcome (Intro)(Prod. by Supakou)

I wanted to take it back to my roots with this one.  When I started making music there weren’t many other people like me; not many people who understood what I was trying to do.  This journey has taken me to a lot of different places and introduced me a lot of different people.

I consider it a blessing that I can call the two guys on this track not only my artistic peers, but also my genuine friends.  It was only right that I bring them along for the remix.  

And we really genuinely remixed this sh*t.  This isn’t on some “let’s just recycle the original beat” sh*t.  My man SupaKou came through again and knocked this sh*t out on some UK Grime tip.  All new verses.  It’s all making sense now.

So without further ado, load this sh*t up and make sure no fragile objects are around.  Some sh*t’s about to get broke.
