Buried for decades because they hit too hard, too real, or I was incarcerated. Now unearthed to show where trap truly began. The Genesis wasn’t theory, back in 2001-2 I made most of these with Sony. It was blood, hustle, and menace turned into music. You’re hearing history.

Too Real to Release: The Genesis of Trap

A cinematic transmission from the undercarriage of modern war. Every Day Carry documents the tools, codes, and cold rituals of staying two steps ahead — not for survival, but for operational dominance. Engine hum, bullet tray, and gloved grip score a life lived behind tint and trigger discipline. No fantasy. Just protocol, pressure, and poetic paranoia.
Everything you hear? It’s carried for a reason.
— KANTIBUS

DOOM

Make The Pie Bigger
#30 of the #35in35 Campaign

“Make The Pie Bigger” is KANTIBUS at his most ruthless—track #30 in an unrelenting 35-songs-in-35-days marathon. From the opening metallic 808 hits and jitter-bug hi-hats to the clipped triplet flow and L-C-R–layered hooks, every element is forged for maximum impact. Gritty filtered guitar licks and shadowy tape hiss swirl around noir-style synth stabs and reversed samples, giving the beat a tense, subterranean vibe.

Lyrically, KANTIBUS navigates oil-slick streets and rain-drummed rooftops, painting a hustler’s world of blood-baptized ledgers, barrel smoke confessions, and sub-bass rumbles under blade-slick moons. His sharpened snares snap like gunshots, while ad-libs creep in stereo, heightening the widescreen drama. This is an audible testament to survival, ambition, and the relentless grind.

🔊 NEW DROP: “Silhouette”
Originally slated as my debut radio single with Sony back in ’02. Put on ice by an 18-month stretch, “Silhouette” finally sees the light. This is more than a track; it’s the anthem I built for the airwaves. From cinematic strings to hard-hitting drums, every bar cuts deep into streets and studios alike. It’s the raw confession of survival, the sermon of a comeback, and the blueprint for anyone grinding for the top.

🎧 Feel the first-single energy. Press play, turn it up, and let “Silhouette” own your speakers.

Silhouette

Rain on concrete. 
Siren-wail opener. 
Off-beat snares and long 808s under a cold, procedural narrative.
Dead-drops, plate swaps, ledgers that move crews. 
Same war, different dialect; this is the UK drill dialect of my playbook. 
Run it first in the playlist and let the pipes pump.
