Greetings once again. 
Today I want to bring you something just a little bit different from the normal boombap flavors I often lick. 
I'll let you decide the particulars of this flavor for yourself. This was a collaborative project in a new spirit, one that is much more patient, but that which does yield a great reward. I've been practicing more and more what one could call 'trust'. And trying to involve others more in different steps of the process as a whole. This song is essentially the first of it's kind from me. Much love to Zudo(a Shogun Beatcat)for the patience and hard work ! The instru was a favorite as soon as i heard it, with his hard work, the vision became reality. I originally wrote the lyrics in December 2014, so glad to see it given life. 

The song itself, as the definition of the word suggests, is about a achieving a particular measure of success given ones current circumstances and resources. 
The world is filled with talent, and many people seem to have found access in ways others have yet to figure out to the secrets of creativity and productivity. I'm not so sure myself there is a secret. But what I do recognize is that there is limitation, and the issue stems from our individual interpretation of what exactly the issue is. 

And example would be I used to wait for 'inspiration' before I wanted to write, or record something. And there were times were the wait was long. In short - 
You have to invite the muse inside, you cannot wait for her to to come knocking. 

We often have all that we need to accomplish that which we want, but the mind can hold us back a great deal, with aspirations, misinterpretations and quite simply a lack of realistic expectations. This songs lyrics embody the self refinement / betterment cycle.

INTRO 
I WANT TO UNDERGO, 
CONSCIOUS GROWTH,
SEEK LIKE-MINDED-FOLKS- 
PHENOMENAL,YET STILL HONORABLE
SOMEPLACE IN THIS LIFE - 

VERSE
I TAKE SMALL STEPS IN MY STRIDE, SLOWING DOWN THE FAST LIFE,
READ BETWEEN THE LINES, PEEPING DETAILS WITH MY EYES -
I SEEK TO FIND, THE UNSEEN,  
THAT'S ALREADY VISIBLE, IN THE SCENE,
ONE JUST TUNE THE SENSES KEEN, &REALLY SEE, OPEN UP, 
THE LINE THAT WAS CUT, WAS JUST ONE OF MANY UNDONE. 
COMPOSED CONNECTION, 
//
WAY I KNOW-
RHYME GROWN, FROM REFLECTION-OF THE SOUL.
IN EVERYDAY THAT I GROW. 
IM PEEPING IT CLOSE,
THE TIME AS IT GOES, &MOLDING MY FLOW, TAKING CONTROL, 
MAKING IT SO, 
IT'S ON A ROLL, &PLAYS A ROLE, 
TO INNERGROWTH, 
&BEHOLD, 
TO THOSE,
WHO, WHEN I UPLOAD, THEY REALLY LISTEN, 
TO WHAT I KICKING, 
WITHIN THE RHYTHM. 

WORKING HOOK @1:20 
I WANT TO FLOW OPTIMAL --- X2
UNSTOPPABLE, 
FOR I, I'M RESPONSIBLE - IN THIS LIFE.  OOOH YES I AM, ALRIGHT... 

I WANT A CONSTANT GROWTH
TO TOPPLE THOSE-- OBSTACLES, 
THAT I, FACE IN THIS LIFE. 


 VERSE
THE RHYTHMIC WORD I GENERATE, 
RHYMES STYLE REGENERATES- MENTALLY I GO AGAINST THE GRAIN,-
RENDERING A FRAME, MENTAL IMAGE PORTRAYED, 
ONE CANNOT HESITATE, THROUGH DEFENSE I PENETRATE, 
THE WAY THE LINE ARRANGED, MY ENERGY, I ENERVATE, LYRICALLY, 
CREATED FROM THE HEART I DEDICATE, 
LET IT SCINTILLATE 
SHINOBISTYLE WAYS,
// 
I COEXIST WITH CHIVALRY, NOT INIQUITY, 
I SIPHONED SOLILOQUY THROUGH MY RHYME-DISTILLERY.  
YO, SO PEEP IT OUT, 
THE WAY I RING IT OUT, I RELINQUISH, 
THEM JUICY SOUNDS- 
WITH THE SIMPLE WAY THAT I PRONOUNCE, A COMMON NOUN, 
IT MIGHT ASTOUND, THE FLOW THAT I FOUND,  
I RIDE & LET IT BOUNCE, 
TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS, WHEN MY THOUGHTS PIERCE THE CLOUDS.

B Flatt "Back To Basics" Vinyl Release February 1st 2018 | via QRATES ( qrates.com )

Originally released in 1996, 2016 brings about the 20 year anniversary for B Flatt "Back To Basics". The 20 year re-up! This vintage hip-hop project was originally released on Cassette Tape and CD. 42 minutes of hip-hop music, it has been re-mastered and is available, in limited edition, on CD and USB Media Pack (containing pictures and bonus tracks).

The B Flatt "Back To Basics" EP was an independent release from the Big Noise camp that defined a new level of quality, soul and organic music as folks from the Bay Area built their catalog. It was a call to the community to stay balanced as commercial radio began to misrepresent Hip Hop Culture. With radio play and interviews from collage stations, as well as performing with names like Rasco (from Cali Agents), B Flatt and Tyranny brought you that authentic hip-hop feeling. As a testament to this selections are still in rotation, on Big Noise Radio, generating positive fan feedback!

In 2016 the B Flatt "Back To Basics" 20 year anniversary giveaway drew worldwide support. The CD continues to ship worldwide today. Thank you so much to all our supporters!

In 1995 the project was produced by Noiseman on an Akai S1100 and sequenced in Cu-Base, then mixed on a Soundcraft 24 track mixer. Vocals were recorded on a Tascam MS16 1" tape recorder. This was the first authentic hip-hop album produced by Noiseman, after releasing a Break-Beat album via Upstairs Records. Peanut Butter Wolfe, founder of Stones Throw records was a label-mate at the time. The "Back To Basics" album turned out to be a classic, hip-hop collectors item.
