I Gotcha

The record label, Broken Complex, hosted their first themed rap contest called State of the Union and I decided to enter with this track prod by Dj Hoppa x Silly Kid. Shout out to Pete Rodriguez of SoundCap Audio for recording, mixing and mastering under a tight deadline. I heard about the contest and got the track done within 24 hours. Hope y'all enjoy!

Lyrics below:
There's a war going on outside, no man is safe
No man is safe

Teacher, teacher you say that you wish me well 
But please tell, why I gotta barely pass or always fail//
I try to excel, I know that you would rather see me fail
Dismissin to detention, when my life's a living hell//
Doctor fill me with prescription, police throw me in jail
Mother fightin addiction, pops stuck in prison cells//
I'm livid, telling myself there's no way I'm not a criminal
I'm King, pawns after me, I castle//
Out of frustration with mass incarceration, it carousels
carry shells from the sands and lands of our former selves//
I inhale, and breathe seeking some sort of inner peace
In a sanctuary city surviving the police//
I'm hungry, fighting for scraps in the belly of the beast
Writing raps to keep the peace and honor the deceased//
It's disease, and war on the poor and poverty-stricken 
Media don't pay attention, cause our lives are different pigments//

There's a war going on outside, no man is safe
No man is safe

Don't make sense to fight a war when there's trauma at home
How you represent the poor and still sit on a throne?//
It's time to face the fact, even though my race is black
I carry genes from a land I could never call home//
Slave trade erased all these names, times and dates
I can't replace your history without knowing my own//
I've grown, as a man, to expand my understanding
Didn't need a college or textbook to demand it//
My elders in the streets were truly outstanding
Sister went to Harvard after Hood College in Maryland//
That's true facts, what makes that story even better
I put my sister in a rap and now I gotta tell her//
Black excellence, check my reference, every letter
That spills from my pen only begins to get better//
How clever, even if I'm miseducated
I get to live my dreams and tell my momma that I made it//

There's a war going on outside, no man is safe
No man is safe

I'm grown now, thinking bout buying homes now
My girl teaching, so we building other thrones now//
Grew up in the struggle, now we standing next to you
Nerdy as all hell, ghetto intellectuals//
Still learning how to eat all these vitamins and vegetables
Mo' money but watch what tthe effects of stress'll do//
Not protected or removed, privilege wit these syllables
Won't keep me safe from the state and it's many tools//
There's plenty fools who step in the circle acting cool
But that's who these raps for, check who I'm rappin to//
You black and still alive, working a 9-5
Came from the hood, but the boardroom eats you inside//
It's time to support our people out here dyin'
I can't bite the hand that feeds when I recognize it's mine//
We all equal, one under the sunshine
So son shine, while I hit em with the one time//

There's a war going on outside, no man is safe
No man is safe

Selfmade x Hillz - The Black Woman Is God

A rare moment of reflection, the title track "The Guardian," delivers a range of ideas, emotions and personal mantras from Paul Willis. The warm and regal production of Lewis M. is highlighted by the trumpet of Rasta Dre and the saxophone of Jackson Riley. On an album of darker stories and weighty content, "The Guardian" provides a flighty, lyrical levity and sonic comfort. This album is the first SOL LIFE Music release for Paul Willis, and won't be the last with releases like "Black Angels" and "self-HELP" as singles.

A podcast for a positive future! To host fun conversations to illuminate the path out of this oppressive leviathan, towards an ideal society.

Terence McKenna once said, "If we continue going where we're headed, we'll end up living in a toxic waste dump ruled over by Nazis." 30 years later, we are still driving down that same road. How do we escape this fate? Is there another path? 

If we are going to escape our default dystopian trajectory, we need a map. Reactionary forces in our society are afraid of the unknowable future, so they vociferously grasp towards an unrecoverable romanticized past, for lack of an alternative vision. The status quo has become untenable, so something has to give. We forward-thinkers must get better at articulating the future we want to see, otherwise we will slide back into the worst aspects of historical injustice, and things will get very ugly indeed.

To create a world worth living in, we need help. No one can create the future alone. Whatever the fate of our species will be, it will be a manifestation of our collective will. The people own the future. It does not belong to any elite. But most people don't even bother confronting the future, because they are kept treading water by an economic system that treats them as mere instruments of production. The working class is deliberately distracted from thinking about big picture questions like Does it really have to be this way? What is the good life? How should society be organized? What would we do with our time if money was no object? What does utopia look like from here? and How the fuck do we really accelerate the evolutionary path towards it?

Utopian Cartography will feature artists, activists, intellectuals, & event producers from whom I have gained great insights about the potential of a positive future. When I woke up to the ways of the world years ago, I became overwhelmingly depressed by the apocalypse. I was convinced we were headed straight for the Nazi toxic waste dump Terence warned us about. Then I discovered utopia. My eyes were opened yet further, and I learned that the revelations of our as yet unrealized liberation had a purpose. I came to appreciate the fact that "change only occurs when the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of changing." Apocalypse is a necessary precursor to utopia. We can only see the garden beyond the veil by first confronting the ills of the status quo. Utopia is out there, if only we know how and where to look.

So if you want to shed some of that existential despair and pessimism about the possibility of a good future for humanity and our planet, give this show a listen. We will do our best to illustrate the rational case for optimism about the future, with a philosophically & historically informed evolutionary perspective, streetwise cynicism, and a healthy dose of psychedelic trickster irreverence. 

To be hopeless is to disregard history. The future can be better than any of us imagine, so let's figure out how to get there.

With Love, 

Neonn Felicity 💜
