Kno: 
It's four o-clock on a Sunday morning 
Who the hell is calling my phone? 
Waking me up I'm stretching and yawning 
If you had any sense you'd leave me alone 

V1 (Natti): 
Wee hours of the morning and word is bond 
I’m in jail I need bail again, the word is bond 
Not James in a tux with olives draped on my cup 
With a dame all on me with healthy letters to cup 
So what up? 
Can you free me ‘fore my prints get back? 
And they run em through the system and realize that I'm black 
All I remember was the stripper then I faded to rack 
Said her name was December than she sat on my lap 
"Merry Crimmuh" 
Liquor and higher power my witness 
I thought fleeing The People was just a matter of fitness 
With all these nice drinks, compliments of Dennis 
Whoever the fuck that is 
"Dennis is this!" 
Two middle fingers up 
"Dennis is this!" 
Dennis tab maxed out on titties and fifths 
Whoever the fuck Dennis, is Dennis is pissed! 
Cus I don’t think that dude we was drinking with was Dennis at all, fam! 

V2 (Grieves): 
Ha, Yup, 
im aware it’s four in the morning 
but I just wanna tell you im drunk and im kinda horny 
I know it gets annoying, but I been losing my grip 
Every woman I talk to I treat like a fair piss and it’s a bitch 
Mainly cuz I now consider you one 
I wanna let you go but every time I seem to screw up 
Now that’s the problem with the space that you occupy 
It’s going great and then the thought of you would cross my mind 
A box of wine and a carton of coffin nails will 
Convince me now would be a great time for hate mailin’ 
Like "Hey bitch! How the hell have you been? 
Remember me? We were dating and you slept with my friends!" 
I just thought that I’d remind you in case you ever forget it 
And train yourself to believe that you're not a terrible wretch 
ha 
You broke my heart into like a million pieces 
So here’s another dim-litted picture of my penis 

V3 (Murs): 
Whoa! 
What the fuck is going on Grieves 
You saved my number under the wrong name in your phone? 
Is that a picture of your...? 
I'ma pretend I didn't see that 
All that rain got you suicidal up in Seatt...ohhhhh 
You had to much to drink again 
Whiskey & a cellphone ain't never gonna be your friend 
You booze you lose, homie you been warned 
You better off using your cellphone to watch porn 
Grab some lotion & a napkin 
Jack off off then pass out 
All these drunk texts'll have you fucked off and ass out 
I hope you black out before you do anymore damage 
I checked your timeline, homie...why you Tweetin in Spanish? 
I understand if this is what you gotta go through 
But when you sober up I got some screenshots to show you 
And Grieves, bro...you gonna be hella happy that all of them texts didn't go through

The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from  their live performances.  The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound.  As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.  

Together/Apart concludes three years of self-discovery that has ultimately lead to Grieves' most emotionally charged and daring album to date.

Grieves - On The Rocks

Glorified

A Streamy-eyed wordless ballad that synthesizes the joy of failed love and the efforts we make to aid those who are beyond help. It is as if we are unreal to eachother.

Oliver Sadie - Blood Sunset (feat. Zefora)

"Open Your Eyes" was my attempt at blending a funky groove with some inspirational ska/reggae that evolves into a deeply embracing resolution.  I wrote it specifically for Battle Of The Beats 3 in Missoula Montana on 4/27/12, which had a huge impact on the overall flow of the song. Enjoy :)

Destroid - Raise Your Fist (Lecture Remix)

After years of promoting local artists and creating a vital community of musicians in Western Montana, local legend Hannibal Hayes, better known as the multifaceted lyricist and producer Lecture, has labored tirelessly as founder of Bitter Roots Recordings to continue his cultivation of independent music in the Missoula, Montana scene.  Despite collaborations across multiple genres, the versatility and depth of Hayes’s dark and orchestral compositions have remained mysterious to those unfortunate enough to not bear witness to his dynamic live performances.  It’s a mystery that Lecture's high-octane production values and lyrical precision solve without hesitation.

To pigeonhole, or merely articulate, Lecture’s textured output is difficult to accomplish in words.  His early catalog has channeled the ragged metal stylings of Lamb of God or the industrial churn of Static-X into electronic and hip-hop production, collaborating with the experimental (and, in the author’s estimation, handsome) likes of Mr. Moo (Milo Hayden).  Such aggressive and headbang-worthy musical dimensions nonetheless incorporate the lyrical dramatics of Tech N9ne, enhanced with the earworm hooks of Timbaland’s most luxurious sounding output.  Utilizing an eclectic knowledge of guitar, keyboards, and symphonic instrumentation in his compositional duties for Bitter Roots Recordings artists Sh, Ramble, and Bohemian Trap City, Lecture’s output strives for the same prodigious accomplishments as Hans Zimmer or Danny Elfman.  It’s little secret why Bitter Roots Recordings has achieved such an immediate and organic rise: community members from all walks of music creation believe in the vision of the project’s leader.  That leader is Hannibal Hayes, but when he’s on stage, you surely know him as Lecture.
