Rakim - When I Be On The Mic

<b>Taken from new album 'Maps' https://messagetobears.bandcamp.com/album/maps</b>

<i>'Maps is the third LP from multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander, the man behind Message to Bears. 

Following on from the success of Folding Leaves, Jerome has created something that encapsulates the folksy ambience of previous releases whilst adding an electronic dimension. Building layer upon layer, songs evolve with a fragile intensity. Vocal melodies are draped over string and guitar arrangements and end up soaring over them, at the same time lending a hook instantly recognisable as Message To Bears and blending harmoniously with the arrangement. 

The overall result of Maps is something that is both startling and familiar. You are drawn in, given a map if you will, and invited on a musical journey that nods to Message to Bears' past but also leads to the future.'</i>

Neat Beats - Turning On The Large Hadron Collider

Ever feel 7 foot 13 and Green? Yeah, Kool Keith does.  MMG producer L'Orange opens the gate to another realm on this new song from the upcoming Mello Music Group album "Persona."  L'Orange's Haunting vocal sample and stutter step drums prod UltraMan to contemplate just how he feels - luckily Kool Keith has no shortage of descriptors.  Sometimes Keith feels happy to stuff the ball in the basket and get two points; sometimes Keith feels rap is his puppet on strings; sometimes he's mostly jolly chillin' on the couch to poli.  The marriage of L'Orange's left of center heroine nod, prohibition era sampling, noirscape production with Kool Keith's legendary Ultramagnetic founding, creator of Billy Miligan split personality sci-fi rap - aka Dr. Octagon, aka Black Elvis, aka Dr. DOOM, aka Tashawn Dorsett, aka Crazy Lou, aka Poppa Large, aka, Keith Korg, aka Mr. Gerbik, or just plain Mr. Thronton to some, is just plain as blissful as Kanye & Kim on a motorcycle riding through the grand canyon.  The point is, let your mind wander while you listen to this new gem from L'Orange & Kool Keith.

About the Album:
Enter those bloody alleys blocked off with yellow tape and chalk outlines. Secret backrooms riddled with sly crooks and blunt smoke. Slink into the underworld, the seedy shadowland owned by Jeremiah Jae and L’Orange on their noir-hop opus, "The Night Took Us In Like Family."

Consider it the alchemy of Madvillain and "The Maltese Falcon": a five-part fable of tangled crimes, narrow escapes, and raining lead. The door busts open with “A Conspicuous Man.” L’Orange’s carefully severed cinematic clips hold the frame steady. The Windy City-raised Jae muscles the narrative forward—the hitman creeping.

Beats bend sinister with imagery aiming for the temples. Jae invokes dark clouds, crowns of thorns and LSD eyes. Bars written in dirt. Samples are disembodied and ethereal. It’s like a grand jury indictment doubling as a Greek chorus.  A song title like “Ice Obsidian” says it all. This is frozen lava, black and white celluloid, the spoils won by sinners. Watch your back rap.

Or maybe it’s the hip-hop version of the gangster flicks made before the Hays Code—raw and uncensored, deeply artful without pretension. Pitchfork once described Jae as: “a lot of people talk loud and say nothing; Jeremiah Jae finds strength in the inverse." On "The Night Took Us In Like Family," he inhabits both eulogizer and executioner. He triumphantly looms over the corpses and explains how this all came to be. L’Orange supplies concrete requiems of dusted soul: beats to crack safes, soundtracks to stealth assassinations. 

If gangsta rap remains one of the genre’s most well worn tropes, Jae and L’Orange take inspiration from the rarely tapped roots of the tradition. This isn’t riffing on Oliver Stone’s "Scarface" like popular cliché, but rather the original Al Capone exploitation flick from the early 30s. Jae conjures a villain who vaporizes. Run-the-Jewels-raw but still sophisticated. Cuban cigars stuffed with California chronic.

The picture unfolds wide frame. Guest stars include New York poison dart-thrower, Homeboy Sandman and Blackalicious’ Gift of Gab. The chapters flesh out the story: The Conspicuous Man skulks into “God Complex,” “The Damning,” “Revenge and Escape.” Jae and L’ Orange build their world as a catacomb and find a way to escape just as the walls feel like they’re closing in. It fades out as “A Macabre Instrumental” plays. The funeral is closed casket. The memories aren’t easily disposed.

since forever aint forever lets just kick it till whenever.....

LYRICS : 

runnin the city wild
i think youre in denial
you drinking just by yourself
you thinking just bout yourself

ok im pourin out a bottle for two of my ex's
like dos equis 
i tell the girl im talkin to right now
dont tempt me
cuz you really lookin like my next breakup song
she dont sleep on me
im the one she stay up on
but why is every first date like an interview
why i gotta take you out
just to prove im into you
why i gotta trust you just to find out if i can
shit why i gotta fuck you just to find out if i can but yo listen

since forever aint forever lets just kick it till whenever
i cant promise that ill love you but at least we'll be together

runnin the city wild
i think youre in denial

id rather slap you with the truth
than kiss you with a lie
you so busy making a living
that you forget to make a life
you should come thru
lemme plant diamonds in your head
she said "im tired of always sleepin diagonal in my bed"
"im tired of always leavin in an uber"
"im tired of losin lovers and lovin all these losers"
i say "you bring it all on yourself"
then we smoke then we drink
i tell her "go think it over, but dont ever over think"

since forever aint forever lets just kick it till whenever 
i cant promise that ill love you but at least we'll be together

this aint your fantasy
come over here and money dance for free
come dance with me
get in your boss stance with me......
