Freedom Of Speech (Freeverse Mixtape)

I'm sleep deprived yet again! This honestly was very frustrating to make and took a few takes in my sleep deprived state. I'm trying to get one Freeverse out every week ideally while I work on my more major, high quality EP that will be professionally mixed and mastered. The purpose of my Freeverse set of songs is to play around and improve my lyrical skill and flow. Expect higher quality stuff when my UNLISTENED. EP comes out in JANUARY!

A Good Day In Chinatown (Freeverse Pt. 2) (Prod. Sebastian Karas)

For this track I wrote down some bars without any editing of the lyrics at all, just writing what came to mind. Not sure if that counts as a freestyle or a freeverse.

Feel Good Freestyle (Prod. Be Franky)

A remix of my most popular song. Better than the original?

Calgary BARS (Remix) (Prod. Eric Godlow)

Acapella Interlude

Another freestyle (Freeverse?) where it was all one take.

The Capstone Freestyle (Prod. Riddiman)

Monarch makes a fresh return January 1, 2020 with a great beat made by NodaMixBeats - Freestyle Pt. 3 kicks the year off for the butterfly migration!

Infection 2020 (Freeverse Pt. 3) (Prod. NodaMixBeats)

Legend has it that every Monarch project, there comes a lone, single remix, as though opening a Kit Kat to discover one bar is a Twix. THIS is that Twix. But is it better than the original?

The Black Butterfly Mini-LP

Infection 2020 (Remix)

Infection 2020 (Remix) (Prod  PREMISE On The BEAT)

Was talking with T. Lady Heart Attack (@user-326211817 ) and she def. had me inspired so I wrote this track and recorded it all in one sitting haha. Just messing around really, but for y'all.

Confliction (Freeverse Pt. 4) (Prod. 4most)

Being true to yourself is vital to one's well being.

Daydreams In The Night (Ft. Apollo)

Daydreams In The Night Ft. Tragik (Prod. PREMISE On The BEAT)

Your weekly freeverse, seemingly so... But wait, could it be? The very first song to get a public release off of The Black Butterfly Mini-LP. As a true Freeverse should be it was written and recorded in the same sitting. Huge shoutouts to @skid-premise and @prodriddiman for the beats.

Infinity Freeverse

Infinity Freeverse (Prod. PREMISE On The BEAT X Riddiman)

My good friend @n3mbeats made this awesome lofi beat specifically for this song. You get to hear the melodies of the Czech producer as he teams up with two Canadian rappers to make a song that spins across the world. 

This song features @tristan-craig-358179551 - known as "The Guy", my own brother, it is his very first rap performance to be published to date.

Fri3nds Ft. The Guy (Prod. N3MBEATS)

Feeling sick and tired of always hearing the same things from every rapper like you can't tell two and two apart. Coming at you with a feature from the one and only, @auscillate !

Coffee Shop Wordsmiths Ft. Auscillate

Coffee Shop Wordsmiths Ft. Auscillate (Prod. Camacho)

I've been getting into the mood of freeverse again! However I decided to go with a beat pretty different than any other I've gone on. Gotta say it was a challenge at first but I think I got pretty decent with it. Also been trying to practice my flow since I want to be able to do more with my voice and am still learning.

Lyrics:
I praise the blessed entity forever endlessly
Tell me, have you ever blessed your enemies?
Y'all are living in the dark like you afraid to see
I seen some shady shifting in the park that's down the street
I see they itchin for a dart or look for LSD
I see They watchin for the narcs n poppin ecstacy
Thinkin' that they smart cause now they feelin' free
I swear a waste of life is not how we're meant to be

It's why I'm dreaming all these shattered dreams
I'm sick and tired of reeling from these means
Everybody got a dollar and a dream tho
Yet every holler and scheme I see is incomplete bro
We gotta be our own heroes
Alla mine had died n got replaced with some Zeroes
And that's exactly why I'm boutta go Sub zero
Heavyweight bars like I'm movin' some kilos
Walk around in Calgary like I'm holdin the key tho

I'm a fire hazard so only come around if you want smoke
Cause you just know I'll do this till I grow old
And if you attack me when I'm in my zone?
You'll witness a murder on this microphone

They tell me Monarch how you getting all this energy?
I tell em that it's part of my identity
I break all the scales so you can never measure me
I take you down trails of all the broken memories
When the beat plays I display my pain endlessly / 
Open doors to my brain and you are free to enter me
I don't need no weed or hennesy
The only time that you alone is when you focus on the sensory
I been stressin' out on this beat like I took a mental leave
When it comes to rap we disagree fundamentally
I flow with a purpose while you do it accidentally
But you a better rapper cause you put on your accesories

If your name is DaBaby don't ask me for a feature please
Sloppy words got me thinkin'maybe, you don't know how to speak
I know my words will make you angered and meek
But listen close cause that's how I shepherd the sheep

I praise the blessed entity forever endlessly
Tell me, have you ever blessed your enemies?
Y'all are living in the dark like you afraid to see
I seen some shady shifting in the park that's down the street

I see they itchin for a dart or look for LSD
I see They watchin for the narcs n poppin ecstacy
Thinkin' that they smart cause now they feelin' free
I swear a waste of life is not how we're meant to be

Caged Freedom Freeverse (Prod TheSkyBeats)

I have been listening to Unlocked by Denzel Curry & Kenny Beats nonstop lately! In the final song, 'cosmic'.m4a they call it drip hop and I wanna widen the frame. Make it not just the cool vibe of Unlocked, but a subgenre of it's own combining elements of old boom bap, cloud rap's hazy production, electronic/modern sounds and a little trap to make a rather timeless, past-yet-future vibe. Drip hop.

Monarch & Vincentizer - Breakbox Outro Freestyle (A La Meme)

Well, Coronavirus landed in my house today and I figured I'd record as much as I can before I get sick - and I'm not talking rhymes this time.

It's a broken world in which we all live in now
Try to find the pieces while you're blinded by your doubt
Yeah my inner deepness is defeatless all around / 
You know I will try my best just to never let you down

Yet here I'm spaced out, head in the clouds
Tryina spiral down but I guess I'm spacebound
Said I won't amount to the fame or the clout
Take a look now with the words well endowed

I am never proud, 'stead I am detached
Always watch your back in a land full of rats 
Always keep your path and draw your lines in the sand
This is where you stand are you a hopeful or a man?

Tell me whats your plan or are you just kickin' cans?
tired of this dance, Feelin' like Vance / 
Astro, black hole, damn slow canned flow / 
Like a genie in a bot-tle while we make the rock glow


Happy times are black but now I'm laughing at my lows
Badly times are whack but now I'm hanging with my bros
Happy times are black but now I'm laughing at my lows
Badly times are whack but now I'm hanging with my bros

Happy times are black but now I'm laughing at my lows
Badly times are whack but now I'm hanging with my bros
Happy times are black but now I'm laughing at my lows
Badly times are whack but now I'm hanging with my bros

I don't even know, dreams a speedboat / 
As we floatin' in our hope, demons turned to toast
In my mind arose lovely thoughts of a rose / 
with its petals turned to gold, but my hearts cold

watched the petals froze, petals turn to stone
Closin' all the doors as you peer into my soul
I am going ghost, see where pain goes
trace it in my flows, see I'm goin' broke / 

from the empty lines I tote, game's a stranglehold
Ain't nobody know how to do it how I go
Mind's a centerfold just until my center blows
Lie in sinful hope as they hang me by a rope

Happy times are black but now I'm laughing at my lows
Badly times are whack but now I'm hanging with my bros
Happy times are black but now I'm laughing at my lows
Badly times are whack but now I'm hanging with my bros

[Pitch shifted]
Happy times are black but now I'm laughing at my lows
Badly times are whack but now I'm hanging with my bros
Happy times are black but now I'm laughing at my lows
Badly times are whack but now I'm hanging with my bros

Quarantine Music (Laughting At My Lows) (Prod. Eeryskies)

I don't normally make this kind of song and I wanted to improve my skills in that area. This track was mostly for practice.

Save Me From My Pain (Prod. CapsCtrl)

𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘺_𝘉𝘈𝘙𝘚_𝘗𝘵_2.𝘮4𝘢(Prod. Balance Cooper)

You know that one song about that dude who sees that girl on the subway that he doesn't talk to and makes a song for her? I'm out of things to talk about so I made this fictionalized account of myself seeing a girl like that and making a song similarly but instead of fawning over her, our fictional butterfly instead sees that there's more to life than the lady that caught his eye.

Lyrics:
Lookin' back at me is when I saw her in the street
Bookin' back to see a friend that gone on trip to Greece
Took a path to meet her but now Blondie's in my dreams
Coulda gone n seen her when she calmly looked at me

Sight so light wit her eyes so bright /
So the rhymes I write are for her tonight
Y'all have caught my plight while she fill me up with hype
Totin' all these lines that I shoulda said with pride

I was on the bus just to go for a ride,
I would feel the bumps when I try to clear my mind
Took a look outside, is Blondie on a bike?
5'10" frame in the pale moonlight

Bus drives by but she lookin in my eyes
Caught me by surprise, heart looks like a fire
Taught me just to size all the things that I admire
Never play the victim out to all the world's Desires

That's the takeaway, takeaway, takeaway
Please don't fade away, fade away, fade away
Baby girl ain't nothing wrong
You could be with me is all

Baby girl ain't nothing wrong
You could be with my is all
That's the takeaway, takeaway, takeaway
Please don't fade away, fade away, fade away

That's the takeaway, takeaway, takeaway
Please don't fade away, fade away, fade away
Baby girl ain't nothing wrong
You could be with me is all
Baby Girl ain't nothin' wrong
You could be with me is all

I was in my home while my mind was out to zone
I was going gold while my time was going broke 
Then it, had o, -curred to me
I need me some nourishment, spiritual encouragement

I don't need a girl or a 24k chain
I just love this world pumping virtues to the mainframe
Big body Benz that these rappers try to maintain
Moral dodgy lens is the way they choose to gain fame

This is not the end but the state of the gateway
You wanna be in then you better feel the same way
Tired of these tame plays that'll taint the waves grey
That is why this mane sings, try to change your wavelengths

Go to all the great lengths just to sing the same thangs
Switch it up, switch it up, switch it up, switch it up
Give my love, give my love, give my love, give my love
Give it all, give it all, give it all, give it all
When the water rises up, know that you gon' rise above

The Takeaway (Prod. Marow)

We at it every week ayy lmao

I was once a teen who was tryina chase his dreams
Pain a common theme runnin' through my family tree
Call me Ibrahim you could throw me to the fire /
but God is all I need, diamond Jesus Piece /

But a Khanda's destiny for me
Baby think she needin' me /
cause maybe were greedy teens, /
but once she act egregiously /

I bounced just like the beat
Nowhere to be seen, I don't even need her,
I'm just spittin' ether while I'm gettin' sleeker /
n deeper wit features to leave 'em in freezers

This butterfly's a reaper wit cleavers to beat em
Other guys are fevered, Beast to the keeper
Won't give em a breather if they peekin with the heater
Stroll in at my leisure, Monarch the new Ceasar
Tell 'em that I beat 'em

Still me, still me
still me, still me
still me, still me
still me

Even tho the past loud I am 21 now
Rappers put they guns down
I am here to bust out
You say you have won now?

I be feelin' much doubt
Bet they won't discuss how,
maybe they just strung out
I been climbing rungs now,

some days I feel self doubt /
But I always held out,
Yeah I been through Hell now
But I'm never hellbound

Life is like a countdown /
but I'll never bounce out
Haters best look out now

Still me, still me
still me, still me
still me, still me
still me


Lemme switch the gear /
just to square up on my fears
Throughout all the years /
Yeah its true I've lost my peers

But I'm still here
Eternity is near
Blocked out all the jeers /
now I focus on the cheer

'membered why I'm here /
and why I fought through all the tears
Shoutout all my peers /
that've helped me through the years

Y'all done interfered /
when I thought the end was near
Y'all the real deal /
and I hope it's crystal clear
Hope it's crystal clear

Chase me, take me,
Break me, hate me
But I'm still me /
And I always will be

Chase me, take me,
Break me, hate me
But I'm still me /
And I always will be

Still me, still me
Still me, still me
Still me, still me
Still me, still me

Chase me, take me,
Break me, hate me  
But I'm still me /
And I always will be

Still Me (Prod. Brodie Ungstad)
