This is a song about manufacturing bho and the dangers of not doing it correctly. Written by Keen James and produced by Selko. To be featured on the Secret Cup mixed tape

On Blast - Keen James (Featuring Daniel de Sailles) produced by Selko

This is a song about dabs and the 710 culture. This is a newer demo version.

A Lil Dab'll Do Ya

This song is a story about a guy who's out of options and desperately makes one last drug run to bail his friend out of jail, and leave the country.

Crosstown Traffic

That's right 2011funk mix

This is a song I recorded over a raw breakdown of a beat I made. It's a note to my father, may he rest in peace.

THE NOTE

This is a song that I made with a story about a guy that is schizophrenic or he has his childhood friend stuck in his head. The concept was proposed to me by my friend Daniel de Sailles. I just made it rhyme. I think if I revamped the beat with something a little more like Danny Elfman and less Alfred Hitchcock it might be an easier listen.

My Buddy

I came up with this track in 2002 and we've tossed around a few different versions. This one features Tank, Most and myself. Love the beat but I've done so many versions of the same song I don't know if I'll ever get it right. James Moses Kanady sang the chorus and got really animated.

Everytime I'm Feeling Low

Featuring Tank this song was recorded back in 2004. This was one of those lets make a beat and drop some lyrics projects. It was just for fun, hope you like it.

Demo. my take on "Imagine".
Imagine This
Imagine this… Everybody broke and they wanna get loot/
Ain’t no telling who these fools gonna go shoot/
Cops on the block sporting big black boots/
Troops… It’s like Beirut/
Imagine how close this is to the truth/
People feeling hopeless they got no roof/
What you gonna do when the masses regroup/
Imagine all the powers that they’re gonna rebuke/
Now imagine if you can everybody got money/
And you ain’t gotta worry about food in your tummy/
Imagine all the schools in the ghetto ain’t slummy/
Imagine no ghettos, imagine no dummies/
Imagine people having hella food in their cabinets/
And as for weed you can get a whole bag of it/
But this establishment just isn’t having this/
So understanding this all that I can do is imagine it/
Chorus:
As the world turns, everybody wanna know/
Where the hell we gonna go when it’s gone/
I don’t think well all live that long/
Now just imagine imagine/
Verse 2
Imagine me… Sitting on a couch in a house on the hill/
Slouched like the grouch blazing out trying chill/
Tank’s hanging out flipping trout on the grill/
We all fill our plates and we all get our fill/
When suddenly the earth stands still/
It’s cool and it’s calm and the silence unreal/
A flash from the east and the violence unveiled/
The skies go dark and it’s all a done deal/
Now imagine if, I just imagined this/
And what would happen if the people you were standing with/
Decide they’ve had it with, this establishment/
And had a plan to fix the world and took command of it/
And what would happen if each woman and each man enlists/
Each passionate in their pursuit for peace and happiness/
Now let’s imagine if this world even can exist/
Or am I just puffing way too much cannabis/
Chorus:
Verse 3
Imagine… What if it was all a facade/
All the gods and jihads and the masons in the lodge/
And what about the lives that were lost/
And the wars that were caused for a lord that’s a fraud/
And imagine this was all just an accident/
No will of god or promises of everlasting bliss/
No ill evangelists or wack religious practices/
Just people happy with a chance they get to stack some chips/
I can imagine that your thinking this is blasphemous/
I see the problem but I don’t know what the answer is/
This system banishes people with disadvantages/
Handing us bandages for lesions that are cancerous/
Now just imagine if this planets inhabitants/
All took a chance and decided to reexamine this/
And if we did are we prepared for what the action is/
Now let’s imagine if we all took a stance and lived/
Chorus: 
As the world turns… Everybody wanna know/
Where the hell we gonna go when it’s gone/
I don’t think we’ll all live that long/
Now just imagine if this world went on/
Imagine where this world went wrong/
Imagine if this world were gone/
Imagine… Imagine… Imagine this/




Imagine This

I'm dropping the remix for A lil dab'll do ya on 7/10!
This Track has a 90's hip hop party vibe. It describes the joys of BHO. If you don't know then listen. Lyrics Below:

A Lil’ Dab’ll Do Ya
 
To people out there having a ball/ 
Puffing tetra-hydra-cannabinol/
I know it doesn’t really matter to ya’ll/ 
But the stuff that I puff’ll make gravity stall/

Got you floating round the room till you stagger and fall/
So high off one try you’ll be having to crawl/
This shit is stronger than that baggy that you have in your palm/
This budders badder than that bad shit you have in your bong/

Now let’s set correct facts on oils and extracts/
And stress that the best wax’ll cause you to step back/
And cough until you think that you won’t get your breath back/
And then you’ll be like ef that sell me the next batch/

Forget that blunt, what’s a’ matter with you/
What you need to do is pass a fat dab of the goo/
I’ve had it I’m through, you need to give the shatter its due/
And since I’m out I’ll be back from the lab in a few/
Chorus:
Now let’s get baked off some concentrates/
Put a dab on the plate and it’s on to vap/
A little dab’ll get you higher than a bag of buddah/
Whatever ails pursue ya, alittle dab’ll do ya/
420 done came and went/
710 and we right back at it again/
From here to Zuma to Bermuda through to Chattanooga/
Whatever ails pursue ya, a lil dab’ll do ya/
II
While ya’ll still talking Bin Laden, I just been dabbing/
I’ve been maddened by all the weird shit I imagine/
I’ve been having oils that boil on pyrex/
If you ain’t ever had it you ain’t even been high yet/

How you say you high when you ain’t seen the sky yet/
Terminate you with it like they made it at skynet/
And you ain’t even fucking with the potency I get/
I’m direct blasting out of glass with a fine mesh/

If you ain’t clear about it I’m about to define it/
Carcinogens ain’t in it, it don’t fuck up your sinus/
Your first dab’ll probably have you thinking retirement/
Numb dumb sucking on your thumb like you Linus/

My guess is this is something you haven’t tried yet/
I stress you fucking with the best of the finest/
I bet in most places you couldn’t find this/
They’re calling me the king just because of my highness/

Chorus:
Now let’s get baked off some concentrates/
Put a dab on the plate and it’s on to vap/
A little dab’ll get you higher than a bag of buddah/
Whatever ails pursue ya, alittle dab’ll do ya/
420 done came and went/
710 and we right back at it again/
From here to Zuma to Bermuda through to Chattanooga/
Whatever ails pursue ya, a lil dab’ll do ya/

III
Now grab a dab and heat a pad and get it hot as the sun/
And let it fry now kiss the sky and say goodbye cause you done/
Now any guy who said I lie who never tried this is dumb/
I’m edified cause anyone who ever tried this is sprung/

I bet if I was getting high with any guy where you from/
After he tried it he would ask me to supply him with some/
But I can’t even tell your ass where I’ve been buying it from/
It’s classified a schedule I and that’s as high as they come/

The way it’s run in agitation and the purging is crucial though/
My Ti nail’s known to make a fucker delusional/
My torch is set to scorch on my rig with a crucible/
But if it ain’t titanium then you shouldn’t use it bro/

I love it when my budders whipped and colored yellowish/
I’m bout to take another dip cause I can’t get enough of it/
But if you ain’t up on this go head’ and puff another spliff/
I got some gold in my dish cause I’m on some other shit/
Chorus:
Now let’s get baked off some concentrates/
Put a dab on the plate and it’s on to vap/
A little dab’ll get you higher than a bag of buddah/
Whatever ails pursue ya, alittle dab’ll do ya/
420 done came and went/
710 and we right back at it again/
From here to Zuma to Bermuda through to Chattanooga/
Whatever ails pursue ya, a lil dab’ll do ya/

Imagine one world or the other. The choice is ours. The time is now.

Imagine This 2020- Keen James

Julian Assange

During the 90's the climate of hip hop was changing in many ways. The music was funk inspired with tales about life and societal woes. As music evolved James fostered a persona based on socially conscious ideology interlaced with storytelling elements including visual narratives. His music was greatly influenced by groups like Public Enemy, The Coup, Rage Against the Machine, KRS One, Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Eminem, Cypress Hill, Nas, Tupac and Outkast among others. James Makes music full of elaborate stories and image driven song construction. James Produces most of his own music and incorporates classic alliteration with a complex multi syllable phrase rhyme structure.
