#TheImSoSoGoodFreestyle(Acapella)

Inspired by the ASMR phenomenon and it’s often inescapable sexual undertone, ByLwansta introduces “ASMR” - a sensual and sexually charged R&B influenced hip hop song.

“I took the often-uncomfortable intimacy of ASMR and turned it into an opportunity to express my sensual side, verbalizing my inner thoughts.”

The song features up-and-coming singer-songwriter Alisha Rosa, alternative R&B crooner Some.Unique.Individual & genre-bending, melodic lyricist, Rāms.

Its R&B-influenced composition & production set a sensual mood, lead by a pulsing synth bass, layered over an 808 and a soft synth pad. ASMR will appear on the final installment of ByLwansta’s SPIJØNGET Series, in Chapter Three.

SPIJ NGET (Chapter Three) is an EP by South African rapper and producer ByLwansta. 

Concluding the EP trilogy he began in 2019 with the release of SPIJ NGET (Chapter One), Chapter Three introduces ByLwansta at his most mature, using his eloquent storytelling ability to take listeners on a journey with a now more accomplished young man who has finally found balance both in his life. 

ByLwansta muses on this new found balance in his life and career as an artist-entrepreneur as well as the end of the relationship that inspired Chapter One, bringing many of the topics explored in both the previous Chapters to a close. 

While the project is without a doubt a great conclusion to ByLwansta’s coming-of-age, love story, it begins a brand new Chapter for the rapper going into the new year.

I really liked the JID "Crack Sandwich" instrumental...so much so...

NORMVL Agenda 4, 
you know we just did it
Two homies who aren’t even from this city
Building stages
While your fav’s probably still sitting
Waiting for a day 
that they can start gigging
That could never be me
They’ll say soon as they see
Us working behind the scenes
Hands are never clean, I mean?
Who’s gonna fetch that sound 
if it isn’t me?
Who’s gonna build that stage 
If it isn’t we?
Who’s busy running around
Feeling fatigue until someone needs to go get 
Argh, fuck it give me the keys I’ll go
A little team, Amongst People I Know
And it’s homies, so
They happily play a role cause
They understand that this man has a plan
While he’s wearing his favorite pair of Vans
And only has a pair of hands
But it’s not enough to hold him back
So he’s gonna do what he can
‘Cause it’s my time
Don’t even bother if you can’t work on my timeline 
I don’t need you, I’m fine
You don’t even see me in the night sky
So I’m not expecting you to bright eyed 
Sigh, you gotta see it with my eyes first,
That’s how that graphic design works
We’re manifesting, by putting pieces together
With cracked version of Adobe
No license, but we’ve got the drivers
The type of shit you’ll never find on Fiverr
‘Cause you’ve gotta kinda find it from us directly
And when you come correctly
Make sure brief and budget are ready
But if your budget just refuses
Then I’ll gladly recommend using Canva as a solution
No budget shouldn’t mean no movement
And if you do that shit yourself
You’ll start to show improvement
Till you afford for someone else to do it
At least you’re not as clueless
But you don’t know the things that I know
So when your money’s up just hit that email my bio
And bring the project this way
And we can sort you out for your release day
Visual campaign, design, roll-out strategy isn’t cheap hey
So put some money together and drop that prepaid
Invest it, show your bras you’re invested
So you can justify your booking fee when they request it
You want that 10K bag without getting questioned?
Let me make a suggestion
Don’t let that creativity only exist in the sessions 
You’ve got to build your brand, 
Give your people shit to connect with
I mean, I won’t even mention 
the music has excellent it’s expected
But there are less talented artists getting the best shit

I've been a lot lately about the crazy shit I could do with a budget from a band, I need the "WHOLE THING"! You get me?

Gimme the budget
I need the whole thing
Don’t even touch it
Don’t even hold it
Don’t even plan around it
I know you had that campaign
For Amapiano
But I’m about to make a amapiano producer sad about it
Give it to me now
I need the whole thing
In a couple months
I can guarantee that we’ll be toasting
‘Cause we just got this brand manager a promotion
He were like “Oh shit!” It was wholesome
The whole team’s bragging, ntwana we’re boasting
Better stay close, kid
And here’s a pen for you to make notes with
Around us, dog, you’ve gotta be focused.
There’s way too teachable moments
There’s way too teachable moments
I don’t know what to tell you
The hack is: create value
You didn’t know this
You really have to
But you’re not listening
It’s art first then focus on your positioning
It’s all I’ve been doing since I started rocking at Kitcheners
Your favourite artist fumbled their own bag
You really should’ve sent me that verse back
And now you’ve got a ghost of that roll-out you never had
All because you fumbled a By - Lwansta collab
Oh so sad, it’s too bad but it’s okay
Your label’s gonna call me in anyway
Your whole campaign’s already made
And I’m a professional as long as I’m paid
I’ll never rub it in your face dog it’s okay

R.I.P Mega. S/O pHrawX, S/O Khuli Chana. 

All my close friends better stay close
You could never find friends like these on a game show
Already on the same boat
Questioning what they know? 
You could probably find the same thing you find at the end of a rainbow
Brainstorm, bright ideas, concept development 
The passion that powers the moves? Constantly evident 
From digital to physical we made it out the internet 
We do it for ourselves and everybody just benefits
Not a single day goes by
We’re always on 
You see the Corsa like “there goes By”
Either the 20 24 or the 2005
It’s not about the destination dog it’s what you drive
And I just don’t have enough time 
To give a ride
To an artist with way too much pride
To even try
You just make really hard to sympathise
Then I’m a hater when I criticise
But if I’m honest ntwana 
That business is none of mine
So I’mma keep minding my business 
There’s not enough time in a day I’m so busy
I’m Mickey Mouse at the same time I’m Walt Disney
We listen to demos on Tuesdays if you wanna try diss me
Send it through quickly, get a response
But if not, send it to somebody who isn’t a boss
‘Cause if I have to leave the office to squash you and your friends
Then I have to justify it as a business expense
Doesn’t make any sense to me

#NORMVL is a mixtape by South African Hip Hop artist, Lwansta.

NORMVL is a tape filled with personal grievances and imagery about lwansta’s past, his family debacles, struggle with his ability to control his emotions and the infidelity of his ex, whilst making it relatable to the listener. An example of this would be the song NORMVL  where he addresses his struggle to balance college pressures and music ” … I’m losing focus I came to study but this graphic design is so f**** hard, I think I might’ve wasted daddy’s money.”  The tape is filled with a just amount of quotables- such as the one previously mentioned- describing  himself and all the things he or others  might be facing in life, making those who relate to the story seem normal, as to justify he’s defining characteristics as a person and a hip hop artist.

The "Your Absolutely Right EP" serves as the he 8th musical project, and 2nd official musical release by South African Hip Hop artist, ByLwansta.

ByLwansta finds himself faced/tasked with the duties of a young adult, which require very mature decisions such as identifying with right and wrong. More specifically, ByLwansta identifies and challenges the idea of conforming, particularly in music, to a specific and popular format and formula for a successful music career.

He finds himself often challenging what has been considered a "working formula" for how to get "into the game" by neglecting the popular style and known formula for such, in favour of one that isn't very style specific, but rather what he wants and only what he wants to do.

ByLwansta tackles the mood at hand using a style he's very popularly known for, in an aggressive and brutally honest manner, a style he established himself with on earlier works such 2014's "NORMVL" Mixtape.

Although having grown in years, we are still met by a very introspective and a bit selfish ByLwansta who raps was is on his mind and heart, always.

"IT'S LATE" takes a traditionally dark turn (for me) and finds a sleepless me up at 3am with the opening lines of Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Trouble Sleeping” echoing as the soundtrack to his dilemma.

Wide-awake with my laptop open and my lady fast asleep at his side, I battle to keep his mind off work and ironically, my dreams, believing that the only way to stop people from “sleeping on me” is for me to literally stop sleeping on himself, and stay awake to work towards these dreams.
