Abosolute ninja! Need some oldschool grey scale video man. Sone call of da wild shit man!

dope combination right here, Foka beats are ILL & you compliment it properly, Salute! B)

Here we finally have the Poets Of Darkness EP which includes the 5 tracks from their '94 demo tape. This Bronx/Queens crew was made up of the 4 members Six Nine, Tee, Big Rez & DJ Tech One. They are mostly known for their track „21 In the Ghetto“ which appeared on the New Jersey Drive Soundtrack in '95. But one year earlier they released one of the best demo tapes from the 90s. Six Nine told me that Nas gave them money to record this demo and the production was made by Spunk Bigga, Tre Bag and Young Lord. With this producer line up you know that's a guarantee for phat beats. The record comes in a black sticker cover with dope artwork designed by Stilts. All tracks analog remastered by Adam Boose. Limited pressing of 300 copies. Shipping starts August! Enjoy the 5 tracks here in a short snippetmix made by Chris Cutter.

Poets Of Darkness EP

Hello once more, I'm glad to be back with another sound to share on the page! 
I am trying to become more and more dedicated solely to recording, not only in a literal sense, but in a mental sense as well. It can be taxing along with what else life brings.. often I only have a few days a week to record and completing a project to a degree that I am comfortable feels like it takes ages... I'm also trying to work on a visual aspect and will begin testing some things here very shortly. 

As for this song, I was really just going with the flow of life and connected immediately with the sound. I've been in contact with https://soundcloud.com/nadia-piet for awhile, over the net we've shared many ideas and words similar and diverse. She is an incredibly hard working and talented individual in many aspects, primarily focusing on promotional media and connectivity, spreading consciousness and ideas through her HipHop food-for-thought website: http://www.thetika.com/ if you have sometime, please do check out the site! 
To add on to her already layered skills, she tried her hand and beatmaking(no doubt with a little help from https://soundcloud.com/kickbackdsc!!) through traditional means and has made only two instrumentals, but despite that, when I heard them I immediately garnished interest. 

After some nights of inspiration, and imagination I came up with these words. The songs title is more complex than it's meaning, put simply, it means transformation. And that's what the song is about, an inner transformation that is one often needs, sometimes it is thrust upon us, forcing us to change. The first verse is about that, a situation in which one is required to transform ones mindset and consciousness to a new state and level. 
The second verse speaks of a daily active awareness of that fact, that one must remain conscious, and that getting lost in ego could be ones biggest downfall. 
The hook was written by Nadi herself, I just sung it. 

I wanted to keep the song simple, in it's make, and just kick a good vibe that is nice to listen to. 

Many thanks to https://soundcloud.com/nadia-piet for both the words and sounds, making this track has been really great for me, and I hope that if you're reading this, you're also enjoying the tune. Check the lyrics below if interested.

VERSE 1 
I WOKE UP THIS MORN,
FEELING A LITTLE OFF-
A LITTLE SORE, --- WASN'T IT MOMENTS BEFORE, 
THAT I FULLY EXPLORED, YOUR BODY & EVEN MORE?
NO FEELING WAS FORCED, 
ONLY LIFE--ENERGY COURSED,- I COULDA SWORE, 
THAT YOUR WARMTH, WASN'T MORE, 
THAN MAYBE 4 INCHES FROM MY SIDE.. IM SURPRISED, 
YOU ARE NO WHERE IN SIGHT, & I SIGH, - OH THAT'S RIGHT, 
SAW YOU OFF LAST NIGHT,-- & IT WAS I, WHO WALKED YOU TO THE GATE, 
WHEN WE PARTED WAYS,  I DIDN'T TURN AWAY
I WATCHED YOU WALK, AND KEPT YOU VISUALLY, IN MY AIM, 
I THEN IMAGINED YOU ON THE PLANE, 
&THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE, & NOW IT'S REPLACED, BY MEMORY. 
I SOFTLY SAY YOUR NAME. 

HOOK
IMA KEEP ON GRINDING, FOR ALL MY LIVING DAYS, 
IMA KEEP ON TRYING, UNTIL I FIND MY STRENGTH 
IMA KEEP ON CLIMBIN, UP UP AND AWAY
IMA KEEP ON SMILING, BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. 

VERSE 2 
I WOKE UP THIS MORN, 
&I WROTE A NEW SONG, 
&I'M WONDERING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SING ALONG
OUT OF BED I HOP, 
LOAD A BOWL - THROW A COUGH, 
YO, I CANNOT-FORGOT, WHAT IT IS THAT I GOT, 
TO DO, TODAY- EVERYDAY, 
GOTTA MAKE A CHANGE, 
THE MIND MUST REMAIN- SHARP LIKE BLADE, 
TO CUT THROUGH, WITH CLARITY - ANYTHING, THAT'S INDA WAY. 
ONE DOESN'T NEED 
DA NEGATIVITY, , 
LIVE CONCIOUSLY, &SEEK THE INNER PEACE, 
CUZ'AWELLYAH SEE THE -EGO-BE,
THE - SOURCE OF ALL DEEP, 
MISUNDERSTANDINGS, 
IF ONE WOULD ONLY SEEK. 
ONE WOULD SEE, WE ARE CLOSER THAN WE THINK


Much peace, and thank you.

Greetings once again, I have returned with some more tunes to enhance the senses. 
I've been bringing out about 1 song a month, but I am wanting to change that.. and try to bring the number to 2 songs a month. It isn't something that is out of the realm of possibility.. but being a solo shinobi, things tend to take some time. 
Especially when I'm trying to branch out and bring some other levels to the music production, including photography, shooting video and editing video. 

Thank you for your continued support, comments, listens, likes.. It is greatly appreciated beyond what these words could ever convey. 
This song initially was just a lyrical exercise .. writing about something I considered fun, and more about 'me' personally than most of my songs are, talking about my feelings and what I think some days.. 
But, as the time went on while writing and making the song.. a few events took place that had a great effect on the outlook of the entire message of the song. 

The shooting down of commercial airliner, MH17.. where nearly 300 lives were gone in a few moments, and even more recently, the invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces. 
The death toll for innocent lives is very high.. and each day there are events that do not make the headlines where more innocent lives are brought into the path of destruction. 
For what?? 
I was wanting to make a song about staying focused, on the things that I felt were 'right'. 
About not being caught in the deviations of society, or the egoic mind. I see that a lot of people consider themselves decisive individuals, but.. I can also see that they live a life of constant change..
One can never arrive at the destination when the direction is constantly changing. This is what the song is about.. That the 'mind' is going to change, constantly.. It WILL. There is no choice in this matter.. If you look within yourself, I'm sure you could agree that most things that you have ever decided upon, have changed.. molded, formed to what IS..in REALITY..  not what is in your mind. That is what the song is about.. The mind changes, like the leaves in the seasons do. 

So understand the change, and try to not 'decide' all these things in the future, based on the past. We must be focused, present, alert in the NOW. The Past doesn't exist, the Future doesn't exist, not outside your imagination. Your entire life has unfolded only in 1 space. The infinite now, so focus on that time, and what is important.. Us, we.. Human life, and all forms of life.
Everything else is secondary, and since it is so, we must act as if so. 


Much love and Peace upon you, Thank you.. if you're reading these words now, please take a few moments out of your day to think over how you can inject change, goodness and love into peoples lives with your actions.. I know you can do it. 

It is not the action that will give you the reward, but the recognition on an inner level, that you have done something good to facilitate change, even in the course of 1 day..
It matters. Much love to Seize, for the instrumental.. and for always lending me sounds for my inspirations and giving me a space to express myself. 
Really means a lot to me.. Show Seize some love by visiting his SC page: https://soundcloud.com/seizebeats-1

Human: Produced By SeizeBeats [Lyrics in Description]

Greetings, once again. 

A great deal of time has passed since our last meet. It is with great pleasure I bring a new tune for you to listen to. 

I know it's been slow here on SC, but I must thank those who continue to show support, even during the down times. 
As an independent artist with a great deal of varied interest both productive and to detriment, I find myself being pulled in many directions without any strong polarization.

In truth the world has just been so interesting(and horrifying) to watch lately that it's hard to not be caught in the swell of the waves. So many recent social changes and events have taken place it will make your head hurt if you try to understand the greater picture from what takes place.

America sure is a strange place to live in these times. Interesting too.

But as the gigantic ball of chaotic beautiful energy swirls around the individual, the grasp of impact and change can escape oneself when feeling microscopic in comparison to the world. 
So instead of the macro - we focus on the micro, discover and focus on the areas of meaningful impact that we can actually forge with our own hands and minds. 

That is what this particular song is about. 

Reaction is akin to reflex. We often build up a reflex due to conditioning, it can be both of physical, and mental conditioning that bring about this reflexual reaction to a circumstance. 

When we have been scarred in the past, by a lover - or an physical injury. We may develop certain reactions to things that to us, resemble those pains. 

Have you ever reacted out of anger, triggered by a behavior or your lover that you cannot stand? Caught in a passion of instant expression. Only to regret what was said, or have to shamefully bury that regret deep inside. 
Reflex's and reactions can be good. 

But to the mind- they are not. Reaction of any form is a signal of conditioned behavior, and conditioned behavior is unconscious behavior. 

One cannot go beyond their own set of limitations of they cannot recognize this. 

Don't react. Respond. 
A response, is a considered - consciously aware statement. Quite different from a reflex that fires off without thought at all. 
In line with the rest of the hook - it comes down to honest, consciously reflected upon thought, that translates to statements that resonate with power, able to meet any moment correctly. 

Unlike a conditioned reflex, only able to react to a certain set. 

This song was a happy accident of sorts. 
The lyrics come from a different, unused source, where i was able to find a new sound to make them home. 

I thank you for reading, and listening. You have my gratitude.

Much love to @https://soundcloud.com/mordbeat for the production.

Greetings once again. 

If you're reading these words, you have my gratitude !

What a crazy life. So many changes.. Everything is transient. 

I'm here again to share a new jammo with you. One that should have seen the light much sooner than it has. But everything has it's time, and that time is now. 
Please wish me luck for increased productivity in the coming months ! I have so much to share with you. 

I am continuing with my preferred theme with this song, I'm sure long time listeners have come to expect such content from me,(I hope at least). 
This song challenges the notion of first impressions and understanding. If you are particular introspective, you should have already taken note of your ability to switch your mind. 
Go back on something that you thought that you never would, no matter how insignificant or impactful. 

Anyone with a good mind should update the contents of that mind when presented new information. We are responsible for checking ourselves. 
The idea that the Sun rises in the east is a relative truth, we know now that the sun never sets. The sun, just as the earth sits within the vastness of space, open from all angles. The song invites one to use relative information and absolute information to find a harmonious balanced perspective within life, and daily thinking. 

Everything is not as it at first seems, there is always another side, be open and invite more. 


Many thanks to @https://soundcloud.com/elowthefunkyeditor for this wonderful instrumental. 
Thank you for your patience. 

I very much that you enjoy this song.

WELL IT'S THE MR, 
COMINFROM DA UNDA, -- WIT DA, 
RHYME THAT I FLIPPED UP, 
SOMETIMES I SIT, AN, 
WONDER, ABOUT THE NUMBER, OF MINDS  THAT  I'VE PUNCTURED, 
WITH THE RHYME THAT I THUNK-UP, 
WHEN I WRITE, -- MANY PAGE SHRED ASUNDER, 
DA SHINOBI CAVE SPELUNKER, -GETTING DEEP, ON EACH AN EVERY JUNCTURE, 
WITH-OR WITHOUT A DRUMMER, ALWAYS ON BEAT, 
I INFILTRATE THE BUNKER, WHEN I SNEAK, -- 
THE SUN DON'T RISE IN THE EAST, & WEST 
IS NOT IT'S FINAL PLACE OF REST. ROTATION INFINITE, 
HUMAN PERSPECTIVE LIMITED, BUT IMAGINATION LIMITLESS-
- WITH IMAGERY, THAT EXTEND, THE RAYS OF A SUNSET, 
ONE CAN BE AT PEACE, 
IF ONE, CAN LET IT SHED LIGHT, ENTER WITHIN. 
A STATE TO ENTICE, THOUGHT FROM INNER SPACE- 
IGNITED FROM CANDLELIGHT, YET BE BURNING BRIGHTER EVER NIGHT, 
CONSCIOUSNESS STEADY ON THE ARISE, 
&YOU CAN PEEP THE SIZE IF YA OPEN UP YA EYES,  

HOOK: 
SUN DON'T RISE IN THE EAST-- 
THE DEPTH THAT YOU PERCEIVE, IS NOT LIMITED TO WHAT YOU SEE. 
SUN DON'T RISE IN THE EAST-- 

SUCH IS ONLY TRUE; RELATIVELY. 
SUN RISE-- ONLY UNIVERSALLY.  

VERSE 2 
EVERY LINE, INFUSED WITH INTENT, 
THE STYLE THROWN, FOR ME- IT WAS A SINCH, 
FLIPPED, THE LYRIC- WITHOUT A FLINCH WHEN I KICKED- SOME NEW SHIT-
THAT BE, ESCAPIN MY LIPS, -- 
EVEN IF ONE, IS INNOCENT, 
THE MORE, SPIRITUALLY IGNORANT, ONE IS-
THE MORE YOU SUFFER, 
I'M NOT REFERRING TO DEFINED RELIGIOUS STRUCTURES, 
BUT ABOUT THE-
AWARENESS-BUFFER, 
FROM WHICH ONE CAN DISCOVER, WHAT THEY SEE, TASTE, TOUCH,  SMELL - &HEAR, 
CAN REVEAL LAYERS TO HOW THEY FEEL, 
BECOME OPEN TO WHAT IS REAL, 
FOR CREATIVITY TO MANIFEST&BE BORN, 
THROUGH THE PAINT, THROUGH THE MUSICAL SCORE-&SOUND GALORE, 
THROUGH THE WORD, POETRY LORE,- FROM THE CORE YO... BE OPEN AN ABSORB,

Consequences

Brous One ft. Raw Poetic - Ground Up (Consequences LP)

Much peace my friends, 
It's been a long time in the making but this track is finally ready for the light, much love and peace to https://soundcloud.com/truffelmusic for letting me on the project, which is out now from Ozone Records.
Originally written back in 2014, my out look and feelings have remained concerning this songs message and meaning. 

Fate has a somewhat solidified meaning thanks to pop-culture largely, in movies and media when referencing fate, it's often a of narrow definition that ironically beckons the inevitable negative reaction. 
The writers of these scripts write both the question and the answer and it makes the concept of 'fate' in a movie production or book ultimately meaningless to ones every day life; But yet this is the most common interaction I think most of us have with the concept of fate or destiny.  

Bruce Lee has been quoted many times for saying 'Be like Water my friend', in his eloquent analogy on how water does not have a shape, but takes the shape of everything around it; How water can flow calmly, or crash violently. 

This song is about my perception of the concept of fate injected with Bruce Lee's water analogy philosophy; The first verse talks about self mastery, collaboration and awareness of self and surroundings. 

The second verse focus on raising the level of that self mastery, about going deeper that you ever have before, about truly opening up the mind and eyes to concepts that were once hidden from you, and that under heaven and earth there is but one family. 
 
When you begin to track your progress of knowledge, and do not get personally caught up in the process, you begin to understand how simple learning can really be. 

The hook of the song is simply spoken: In a Sea of change, you must flow with the waves. The waves of life, the waves of the moment. Don't get caught, and do not drown. 

Be water my friends, 
Malev

Make Fate: Produced by Truffel The Phunky Phaqir [Lyrics in Desc. OUT NOW!]

Peace to all the peoples. 
I'm pleased to be dropping a rather spontaneous track on this afternoon. 

I heard this track while listening to a youtube stream that played lo-fi beats intended for Study. It really stuck out to me and I found myself thinking about the track even after it had passed for a long while. 

But I did like it enough immediately to write the name down for the future. Later, I Found the soundcloud link after some digging and just looped the song and got to writing. 

The producer Gluten Free beats was nice (or foolish) enough to leave the track open to download. 

So that's what I did.. and here we are. I've really been exploring this idea of trying to make perfect creations and how it's an illusion.. 
I want to become better at this. Better at releasing songs and different things for the listeners to interact with.. Ya'll mean so much to me. Everyone that shows love at shows, or online .. clicks play and shares with their friends is a hero in my eyes and I'm very inspired by your activity. 

It's literally the only thing that spurs to me to action... Things are looking up. 
Anyway.. This song was something that I wanted to make purely for fun, and not take any part of it's creation at all too seriously. 

I'm pretty pleased with the end result, and I hope that you are too.

It's the Way That: Produced by gfbeats [Lyrics in Description]

Peace everyone. 

It's been a long time.. but once again, I am back with a new sound.

It really is a pleasure to finally be able to present this track! This track is part of a larger project, Boom Bap Language; An international Hip Hop Project that spans the globe with many mc's and spoken languages. 
The Project is the brainchild of Christian 'Da FunkyLooper', This album is OUT NOW and available for purchase. 
Check out the bandcamp for more information and more albums : https://dafunkylooper.bandcamp.com/album/boom-bap-language

Something for the world and culture lovers. 


Now for the song, which was written in 2015.. Quite a time. 

Theme is important to me. Considering the projects nature, I thought that my approach was rather laid out for me. I should try and explore something that encompasses the winder human, rather than focus on words and themes that are of American origin or anything that really ties the verses down to a particular cultural. During the first verse this is explored. 
The second verse explores my identity a little bit more.. touching on topics of stylistic origins and strengths. 

The hook itself was the part of the song that had the most trouble; I did write a hook that was a little more in line with the theme of the project, but something about it just didn't pan out. 
I ended up using something that was a little bit more simple and like a chant - A call to attention, to check the song, project and style out. 

I'm really pleased that this project is finally out now, and that I've been able to be a part of it! 

The song is an earnest and original take - I hope that you enjoy it. 

Much peace, 

Malev

Greeting. 

I come with tidings, and a new Shinobi Style Jam brought to the realm of reality from that of psychological-fiction. 

Many thanks to Foka; https://soundcloud.com/savethesealz for the instrumental, I feel very lucky to have such sounds lend identity to that which I write, and vice versa. It's incredible. 
The title Ronin, is a Japanese word, for 'masterless-Samurai'. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C5%8Dnin

As dictated by Bushido, the Code of the Samurai, a Samurai was supposed to take his own life upon the passing of his master. 

At one point, it had been said: 'to die for thy master, is better to outlive thy master.' 
But these traditions grew old, with the changing of the Ancient times in Japan. 
With the civil warring states ending, the Samurai class found their purpose a little shaky. 
With no wars to fight, what is a warrior to do? 

With such thinking, through whichever way a Samurai found himself masterless, shamed or cast out;
A Ronin turned to other, more normal ways of life. But still carrying their 2 swords, as a symbol of their true nature, though, not all was good. 
Ronin is not a desirable title, nor position. It was associated with thieves, Bandits, beggars driven to the point of desperation from once the most esteem'd class in their Society. 

A Ronin is in some sense, a Samurai- who is 'no longer' a Samurai. Even in Japan today, the word still exist to describe someone who is between jobs, or unable to graduate. 
 
I resonate with this title, for this very sense. 
I feel that I am a Ronin; my principles armed on my heart, in the very way the Ronin of old fashioned their swords at their waist. Though on the surface of me, it may appear to those that do not understand my ways, that I am someone odd, or unusual. 

It may appear that I am diverging from the path, but it really only is following my heart. 
Realizing there is no path, but the one we carve ourselves. 

Within this song, there is this lesson; 

Fashion your ethics and principles, your morality and true nature into a sharp blade in your mind. Arm yourself with this weapon. 
Be willing to use them at any time, to cut down any foe or obstacle that would stand in your path. 


Thanks for checkin it out. Lyrics below.

Happy Mothers Day for all the Mothers that look out for the children they bring into this world. 

I have very few means in terms of physical gifts that I can give to people. 
Choosing to be unemployed has it's benefits, and at times- it has it's disadvantages. 
Really the only time I wish I had a job was around a holiday centered around showing appreciation for another.. only because I don't have the means to actually buy them anything.

So instead, I do what I can. This is for my Mother, a short song to show my endless appreciation. The song is really straight forward... It's about how words are not enough. 

I was lucky enough to come across https://soundcloud.com/sotozen-3/seeing-form-seeing-mind
in a sheer moment of curiosity and listened.. and was blown away.. 
All day I spent wondering what I was going to do for Mothersday, then suddenly in the last 2 hours of the day, I'm hit with a wave of inspiration. 

So I sat there, failing to fight back tears in most instances sincerely thinking about my mom and what she means to me, and wrote and recorded this short track in Reason 7 in about 4 hours total. 

Much love to Soto, for making the track.. and putting it up for Download.. I simply couldn't pass it up in the moment, everything was perfect. Check out more of Soto's jams here: https://soundcloud.com/sotozen-3


I love you mom. 
Peace

INTRO HOOK--
I LOVE YOU, 
I WISH THERE WAS MORE TO SAY, 
TO CONVEY,
SUCH WORDS WHEN RELAYED,
FALL SHORT, IN THE SENSE, 
TO DESCRIBE YOUR GREATNESS 
   

VERSE
WHAT CAN ONE SAY,
FOR SOMEONE THIS CLOSE,
GIVING ME HOPE, HOLDING MY ROPE,
HOLDING ME UP, -- OH YE

IN THE TIDES OF SWELLING SEAS, 
DARKNESS IN MY DREAMS, NEVER SEEM 
TO DARK TO FACE-
&I BELIEVE, 
YE-
I AM WHO I AM, CUZ YOU BE WHO YOU BE 
&I BELEIVE
ALL POSSIBILITY WOULD CEASE
IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOU, 
NO DREAMS WOULD COME TRUE- 
NO LOVE TO COME THROUGH- 
IT'S PLAIN TO SEE-
THATS WHY I LOVE YOU, 
IMMEASURABLY, FAITHFULLY, ENDLESSLY, 
DON'T EVER CHANGE- MA
DON'T EVER LEAVE. 

I LOVE YOU

HOOK
I LOVE YOU, 
I WISH THERE WAS MORE TO SAY,

SUCH WORDS WHEN RELAYED,
FALL SHORT, IN THE SENSE, 
TO DESCRIBE YOUR GREATNESS
