This Song is for custodians of the Sonic and Lyrical Craft. Thank you for doing what you do. This goes for all of us who care about the culture and the craft. This ones for us.

The 1st verse is written from the lens of a south African kid repeating the rhetoric of 90s American movies like Menace to society, paid in full and Boys n the hood. The verse is an exploration of the sometimes extreme and sensational lense that we look at ourselves with and are looked at as black boys across the diaspora.

The second verse is a jab at unappologetic self indulgence in the literary devices and braggadocio I enjoy within my artistic practice.

This ones for Sway

In Harmony (Romantic Piano) - Jesse Marantz

One of underground rap’s most distinctive and talented voices returns as Rochester, N.Y. native Pounds delivers his latest hard-hitting effort, ‘TUNA.’ The follow-up to 2016’s stellar ‘Heavy Lies The Crown,’ this project packs some serious tough talk and hard-nosed bars into its nine tracks that center on the troubled life of a kingpin.

As you can hear through his raps, Pounds is most definitely about the life he outlines in his rhymes—to the point that it’s actually rap that got him out of trouble some years ago. After a troubled youth spent in and out of jail, he focused on his love of Hip-Hop to get his life back on track. And as he continues to make good on that goal, we’re blessed with the inventive and vivid street tales heard on ‘TUNA.’

The project is brought to life not just through Pounds’ raps, but also through the clever usage of samples from Breaking Bad (“I am the one who knocks!”) and Blow, among others. Those quotes help shape the story, but it’s Pounds who brings everything together. He’s on his epic-rap-narrative sh*t on closer “Dues,” delivers tag-team villainous raps with Conway The Machine on “Gone Tomorrow,” and spits vulnerable bully bars on “Pee Wee Kirkland.” For example: “Beat you with a bat/ You rather take the gun route/ Squeezin’ with the mac/ You take the food up out my son’s mouth.”

Those touches of humanity are what make ‘TUNA’ larger than your typical bad-guy rap project, and they’re also what continue to make Pounds such a compelling figure in the independent rap circuit. Be sure to keep an eye out for the release of ‘TUNA ‘and also the New York rapper’s forthcoming international tour dates.

‘TUNA’ is now available Soundcloud for streaming and Bandcamp for purchase, via KSD.
