Huge news! The one and only @classified15373 is setting up a little contest in every city that he's performing in on #TheCanadianClassicTour. The rule is that any emcee has to write a verse to a beat supplied by him and mention the city you'd like to perform in. Afterwards, it'll come down to two artists in each city to try and get the final spot and be an opener at the show!

This is a big opportunity because he's coming to #Saskatoon on October 26th along with hip-hop legends Choclair and Maestro Fresh Wes! I grew up listening to all of their music back in the day and influenced my style of rap towards theirs. So last night my brother and I whipped up this track to throw my hat into the ring.

Could definitely use all of the support I can, so please SHARE and LIKE this video! Also check out the track on my Facebook page below and LIKE the track on there too. Let's see how far we can take this thing.
One love!

-R2K

--- LYRICS ---

Hook (X2)
With every beat I play
And every word I say
All I do is pray
That my hip-hop won't stop
I'll take it to my grave

Verse 1
I'm just an artist with the smartest way to speak my mind
A rapper who attacks every angle, every side
A father with a daughter, who I'm proud to say is mine
And my son, who is so much fun, within a storm, he still can shine
Sign of a lyricist, who fears this is my pinnacle
Voice of a typical criminal who is cynical but minimal
To the despicable and individual who can rhyme
Guided by Class, treated like trash, victim of the times
So I built my small studio in my small town
With my brother by my side, we rock shows (no doubt)
This hobby keeps growing, like the crops all around
My life in the knife, with my wife, I'm so proud
Lookin' inside of my thoughts, and wonder what this can bring me
Balance and therapy, express what one's feeling
Lookin' to ride and never stop, can hunger deceive me
No pot of gold, can mould my soul, my roots are what plant me
Never can you take away the air that I keep breathing
With every breath I lay to rest I thought that I'd been speaking
File away, rolodex, mp3 seeding,
No time to rest, my mind's a mess, but I keep on achieving!

Hook (X2)
With every beat I play
And every word I say
All I do is pray
That my hip-hop won't stop
I'll take it to my grave

--- LYRICS ---
[Hook]
I am wading deep waters trying to get home
Lord I am wading deep waters trying to get home
I am wading deep waters
Wading deep waters
Wading deep waters trying to get home

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting and wondering whether or not
That the direction I'm headed is wrong or right
Like a knight in his armour defending my home
Been lost for so long, don't know where to go
But I stand in this stagnant water
Like a father who can't find his daughter
Sold my soul to the devil
But now that I'm level
I feel like I've already caught her
Hansel and Gretel left breadcrumbs
I settle for metal from handguns
I know I'm an outlaw, I broke all of the rules
And my home is a town full of shotguns
My life in the knife is alright
Cuz I might have what's left
But now that I've found home
Still waters run deep and sow what I preach
Is never forget where you come from

[Hook]
I am wading deep waters trying to get home
Lord I am wading deep waters trying to get home
I am wading deep waters
Wading deep waters
Wading deep waters trying to get home

[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, I've been tryin' to get home
Through all of the thick and the thin
The ups, the downs, the ins, the outs
But in the end, I'm sinkin' again
And I know when the time comes
The water be too damn deep
Don't know which way is home
Don't know which me to be
The thought of me ought to be part of me whole
The heart in me wanna be headin' on home
The fought in me got to me, now I feel old
They shot at me, bodily harm was the goal
So I stand here, waiting, debating, and wondering
What the directions I choose to be
No man may fear the path he chose
But rather take pride in the home he may keep

[Hook]
I am wading deep waters trying to get home
Lord I am wading deep waters trying to get home
I am wading deep waters
Wading deep waters
Wading deep waters trying to get home

Life In The Knife - E.P.

R2K - Home [Official Audio + Lyrics]

It's been extremely cold and snowy these last few weeks here in the prairies, so I had time to sit down and write a song that reflects on the recent weather. A lot of metaphors tossed into this track as well, so I hope you guys appreciate and enjoy this song. It'll definitely help me out if you LIKE and SHARE this track! Expect more new music coming real soon, as well as my upcoming E.P. called “Life In The Knife”.

-R2K

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- LYRICS ---
[Intro]
This is R2K...
In the Battleshack, my cabin...
Been locked up all winter long...
And I'm going crazy up in here...
Let's kick it...

[Verse 1]
It's a new year and I'm searchin' for words
that I cannot even describe
The highs, the lows and everyone knows
I bottle my feelings inside
My resolution that will fuel the fusion
can cause a combustion, I die
Alone in the cold, and the wind it just blows
I'm freezing up my heart and my mind
Gotta get up, go outside, and learn to toughen up
Like a cold charcoal, once I used to light it up
But now I stay in my home, drinkin' cup after cup
Back up on the liquor, back to giving right on up
Relapse, like I need that, I feel that, I'm fine
Am I coming or going, I feel like I'm snorting
a pathological line
No feedback, please see that
I'm pacin' inside of my mind
Never I'll leave here, but if I can beat here
I'm surely committing a crime

[Hook]
(X2) The wind gains speed
It blows across the plains
Winters so cold, most folks
They go insane
Locked in my brain/
Think I got cabin fever
Where am I, who are you
I'm a dreamweaver

[Verse 2]
Nowhere to go, nowhere to be
I sit at the window with no one to see
Going insane? Most definitely
I struggle to solve the puzzle in me
I'm an enigma, no riddler can rid the disease
Fall in depression the less I invest in
the better the lesson I teach
Better wake up and snap back
had I been day dreamin'
Get a grip on this reality
before my demons
I've been readin', I've been feedin'
My brains begin the bleedin'
Then before I know it
I'm the one bouncin' off the ceiling
This the Maniac, blacked out with cabin fever
Wake up in the morning
with a bloody meat cleaver
Have I pulled a Ted Bundy
go and check inside my freezer
Don't see any heads
But my own and I dread
That I'm dead
And I won't ever leave here

[Hook]
(X2) The wind gains speed
It blows across the plains
Winters so cold, most folks
They go insane
Locked in my brain/
Think I got cabin fever
Where am I, who are you
I'm a dreamweaver

[Verse 3]
The one's and the two's
And the beat and the groove
Have accelerated my heart rate
I'm sweating, I'm hot and I'm cold
I'm clammy, I'm manic, and frantic, and shake
The wind it will blow, and later will show
The weaker the folk they fade
The life in the knife
might light the night
and rightly so we brave
No matter the weather we strong
No fever can beat her so long
We band together
Withstand the weather
And never forget when alone
So please believe the weaker the mind
this storm, it's never known
Confused and hurt, and worse it lurks
a beautiful mind can roam

[Hook]
(X2) The wind gains speed
It blows across the plains
Winters so cold, most folks
They go insane
Locked in my brain/
Think I got cabin fever
Where am I, who are you
I'm a dreamweaver

R2K – Cabin Fever [Official Audio + Lyrics]

Let's throw it back to 2003! This beat gave me a Slim Shady vibe so I looked back at what I was up to as a 15 year old and wrote it down. Give a comment on whether or not I should make more of this type of music and also while you're at it LIKE and SHARE this video around and spread the nostalgia! Also also, let me know what you were up to and remember in 2003!

-R2K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- LYRICS ---
[Intro]
A'yo, this your small town Maniac...
N' we 'gon take a trip down memory lane...
*LET'S GO!*

[Verse 1]
Yo picture this, 2003
50 Cent had just blown up on the scene
I had a skate in my hand
Smoked a whole lotta weed
And I take what I can
'Cuz I'm, only fifteen
So we built a ramp, and we built a park
Then we built a scene, which we all apart
Well the next thing we know
A couple of us rapped hard
There was Lil' D, ISPO, and R2K
Otherwise known as D.F.A.
You could catch us in the shack
Rappin' 30 Seconds of Fame
That was life in the knife, man
Back in '03...

[Hook]
(X2) I was limpin' with the bizkit
Back in '03
I was kick flippin' skateboards
Back in '03
I was smokin' the endo
Back in '03
And it seems to be when I became an emcee

[Verse 2]
I'm not sure where I am
I'm not sure what I see
Was that just CKY then MXC on my TV screen
Losin' my mind in fact
Become a Maniac
I'm chasin' rainbows
Down backroads in rusted Cadillacs
R...2...K...
I'm back in the place and time
Where I define the rhyme
Which would define my style
And the way that I write
You are Ken, so don't defend
All the men who became a Maniac in the end
Like Osama Bin Laden and all of his friends
Fight drama with karma then we all can defend
No farma can harma 'nother llama again
*THROWBACK*
Guess what kids, I'm a Maniac
And I'm here to attack
I'm a chainsaw tied to your back
Rippin' a crack in your ass
Claim to be an insane Maniac
I'm God, Jesus Christ and everything they both lack
I've been tagged with the name of a Maniac...*tagged with the name of a Maniac*
I've been tagged with the name of a Maniac...*tagged with the name of a Maniac*


[Hook]
(X2) I was limpin' with the bizkit
Back in '03
I was kick flippin' skateboards
Back in '03
I was smokin' the endo
Back in '03
And it seems to be when I became an emcee

[Verse 3]
It's been so damn long since I started this
I'm rhymin' words I haven't learned
What their full meaning is
I's just a boy who like to toy
Around with beats and spit
Smoke a joint, flip my deck, blastin' some Limp Bizkit
2003 was the place to be
I was only fifteen, nothin' mattered to me
It was party after party
With ISPO and Bacardi
And Lil' D guaranteed to hotbox the potty
We'd rock the party party
Rock ya body body
Stop ya rawdy rawdy
Girls ya naughty naughty
That was life for me
From Cut Knife, N.B. to Unity
Back in '03


[Hook]
(X2) I was limpin' with the bizkit
Back in '03
I was kick flippin' skateboards
Back in '03
I was smokin' the endo
Back in '03
And it seems to be when I became an emcee

R2K – Back In '03 [Official Audio + Lyrics]

Time to take out the vintage cars! 

Yesterday was the first day of spring and all of the classic cars are coming out from the sheds this winter. I decided to write a track for all the guys who love to cruise around the city with the speakers dialed up. Wanna give a shout out to my cousin Adam and Low Life Rides for inspiring this song! Please LIKE and SHARE this video around on your social media. Oh! Can't forget the most important thing... make sure to blast this song up to 11 in whatever vehicle you cruise in!

-R2K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- LYRICS ---
[Hook] (X2)
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a... low life

[Verse 1]
No cash to flash, but got rides with class
And all kinds of cats who got dogs with bats
It's the low life, low ride, custom tune
It's the Battleaxe Manaic who rides with you
Caught rollin' in an '86 Monte Carlo
Caprice so lit, it hits all the car shows
The next thing ya know no shows a trip
Without the Maniac rappin' that low life shit
A '55 Pontiac with red on flat black
At the quarter mile race track ignitin' your ass
And then a Cadillac so fat
It's handin' out heart attacks
All of that is part of that
Bounce in it's under half
Low life, low rides livin' in the low life
Cruisin' down 118th through Beverly
All night we gonna fight
Rollin' through the stop lights
Choosin' what road home
We gonna put in front of me

[Hook] (X2)
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a... low life

[Verse 2]
I had a '64 Valiant which I thought was hot as shit
Everywhere I drove the cops, they had to stop it
Never mind the '65 Polara that my dad owns
Duel pipe, shift kit, and runs off his heart and soul
Never known, a better home than one built on a motor so
Low life, the only way to roll
Ride slow, pump your brakes
Turn down the highs and crank the bass
Bumpin' one inch off the freshly paved
Low pros so low they ride on blades
Cruisin' down Whyte Ave then Jasper too
And when I'm with the homies in Saskatoon
We headin' down 8th Street and 2nd Ave
Lights so bright we make a blind man gasp
Meanwhile the engine makes a deaf man's head turn
R2K, low life, we make them wheels burn

[Hook] (X2)
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a low life
Ain't no life worth living than a... low life

R2K – Low Life [Official Audio + Lyrics]

R2K – The Maniac's Back [Official Audio + Lyrics]


Watch out because the Maniac is back! Here's another song that will be featured on my Life In The Knife E.P. that's coming out very soon. Had a lot of fun writing the story to this track. If you had fun and enjoyed the song please give it a LIKE and SHARE it around with all of your buddies! Cheers!

-R2K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- LYRICS ---
[Verse 1]
Wake up at the crack of dawn, the sunrise
I saddle up my horse as the fog divides
Got my gun in it's holster, breakfast moonshine
By the way the light fights through them eighty-foot pines
This Maniac is in for one hell of a night
Hit the dirty dusty trail that wanders back into town
Spit tobacco at the feet of the weak and the proud
Head straight to the saloon to make loot and get loud
I walk inside of the bar and make eye contact
With a man I better not rob, Marshall Law knows that
But never a poker game that I rig can stop me
From playing these punks, I keep an ace up my sleeve
I deal hand after hand, I hustle and cheat
Until a whole deck of cards rain down on my feet
Then the table I flip, gun smokes, girls scream
I better high tail'er out of here quick, you can't catch me!

[Hook] (X2)
The Maniac's back, the very next day
To rob and steal for thrills
The Maniac's back, the very next day
Now he's running for those hills

[Verse 2]
I dart up the stairwell, while I cackle and laugh
This outlaw is dropping more than half of his cash
Felt a sting of a bullet, I've been hit in the ass
Jump out the window, landed on my horse's back
High Ho Silver! Won't cha gallop your feet
Kick up the dirt that belongs in my teeth
This the wild west son and they're gainin' on me
It's three chasin' one, lunatic in the street
So I duck down a trail that'll head out of town
I can lose 'em in the hills if I head there now
Then tomorrow it's on, to the next showdown
Different faces, different places, but the same damn clowin' around!

[Hook] (X2)
The Maniac's back, the very next day
To rob and steal for thrills
The Maniac's back, the very next day
Now he's running for those hills

[Verse 3]
I'm stumblin' really wasted as I wobble through the hills
The gunshot to my buttocks requires plenty of pills
I've become delirious and dizzy, feeling really ill
I'm thinkin' that those mushrooms that I picked were meant to kill
Better post up for the night, lick my wounds and chill
Kick off my boots, tip my hat, and pass out
If I wake up in the morning, I'll be praying that I will
But honestly the truth is, I really have my doubts

R2K – The Maniac's Back [Official Audio + Lyrics]

Only a few more songs need to be released until my new E.P. comes out! Here's one of them and also the opening track as well. I grew up here and now have a family and live in this small town called Cut Knife. I wrote this song to share my experiences about what CK means to me. If you guys liked the song, please make sure to share it around with your family and friends! Also expect more new music coming in the following weeks!

-R2K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- LYRICS ---

[Intro]
A'yo this is R2K...
Welcome to the Life In The Knife E.P....
Let's kick it, here we go...

[Verse 1]
Yo, who you lookin' at, here come the Maniac
On stage in your face, who caught a lady at
Askin' where ya from, who, where you livin' at
Saskatchewan, it's a town on a rural map
Cut Knife baby, where I get crazy
Light that fire pit 'till it's hazy
This small town livin' is givin'
A bit of intimate, memories
Steadily raisin' my family
From the pumps on the highway
To the railroad tracks
These are my neighbours
These my friends, these my fans
Was once a punk on my way out of this town fast
But I've returned to where I've learned to become a man
The heart and soul, and the places we go
Are deciding what we choose is home
My life in the knife is a place I reside
Due to the family and friends that I own
No longer new cities attract my attention
But offer up stress on a plate
The crime and deception, ain't only to mention
So much love to the towns and lakes!

[Hook]
This is my life in the knife
The fire pit is burnin'
This is my life in the knife
The sky is alive and turnin'
This is my life in the knife
Family, friends and memories
This is my life in the knife
Cut Knife, baby...

[Verse 2]
I'm burnin' them trees and cleanin' the seed
We need, to plant in the ground to feed
The cattle and pigs, the liquor to mix
A whisky fix, is all that I need
These back roads is all I know
These tractors is what pulls me home
No faster can these dirt bikes go
Big laughter in my fishin' boat
The rink and it's burgers are callin' for me
I think it converted the player you see
From soccer to hockey, now buildin' a scene
Where cowboys and Cree keep rockin' with me
I was born in the city, but raised small town
Got no pity for those who get down
With hoes in the city who play you damn clowns
My wife in the knife can mow you all down!

[Hook] (X2)
This is my life in the knife
The fire pit is burnin'
This is my life in the knife
The sky is alive and turnin'
This is my life in the knife
Family, friends and memories
This is my life in the knife
Cut Knife, baby...

[Outro]
This is my life in the knife...*baby*
This is my life in the knife...
Cut Knife, baby...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- LYRICS ---

[Verse 1]
I've been waitin' for a moment like this for so long
A song I can smoke and drink to and brawl
Dance with my girl to the break of dawn
Kick off my boots, yeah let's get it on
It's been a long day of work
With the dirt and the sweat
Been breakin' my back
Just to break in the set
Man look at this crowd
Ya'll a whole lotta wrecked
N' I'm feelin' like we never gonna need a rest
R2K don't forget the name
Made by the liquor and marijuana that gave way
To an artist with the smartest way to vent his shame
It's a party, it's a rodeo!

[Bridge]
Searchin' for my family...
I'm searchin' for my gold...
Searchin' for my woman at the god-damn rodeo!

[Hook] X4
It's a rodeo!
You don't hear me though!
Turn up! Turn up! Turn up the stereo!

[Verse 1]
Raise up your glass, pour up a drink
Hit the dance floor then burn your bridge
Was long cold winter now we here to live
Look across the room, it's my boy the myth
Adam Oborowsky, who never will cost me
A dollar or whisky that won't make him frisky
It's been a long time, admit that you miss me
We built this province on hard work and family!

[Bridge] X2
Searchin' for my family...
I'm searchin' for my gold...
Searchin' for my woman at the god-damn rodeo!

[Hook] X8
It's a rodeo!
You don't hear me though!
Turn up! Turn up! Turn up the stereo!

R2K – Rodeo [Official Audio + Lyrics]

Save this track for the summer holidays!

It's going to be a beauty summer and what better way to enjoy it than to chill with your family and friends! I wrote a song about it and even had my wife help out with some of the singing. If you enjoyed the track share it around and don't forget to crank this song up at the lake this summer!

--- LYRICS ---

[Hook] X2
This is my summertime song and we out on the deck
Chillin' with my family and friends
I got a whole lotta livin' to do before it's done
'Cause it ain't quite over yet

[Bridge]
It's summertime...
It's summertime...
It's summer... summer... summertime

[Verse 1]
Only a month ago it felt thirty below
I was saltin' the ice and I was shovellin' snow
But now the suns out, guns out
With boats and motor homes
While some pout, I shout 
'Our beaches are gold!'
Got a bite on my line
Took a while to reel in
My son says 'hey Dad
You caught a whopper fish!'
It's a real short summer
With a real long list
I've got parties to go to
And family I've missed
Races, fairs and green golf courses
Friends on deck, slow pitch and horses
Rodeos, weddings and big blue skies
Now that's what I call livin' the prairie life
With so many nights next to fire pits
It's why we lit, amongst quietness
The great white north, ain't always cold as shit
This is a summertime song and I'm lovin' it!

[Hook] X2
This is my summertime song and we out on the deck
Chillin' with my family and friends
I got a whole lotta livin' to do before it's done
'Cause it ain't quite over yet

[Bridge] X2
It's summertime...
It's summertime...
It's summer... summer... summertime

[Verse 2]
It's the middle of the summer
And it's passing quick
My wife, I love her, yeah
And now she rocks this
I drop hits, even though it's thirty above
Got a pool full of water, while my kids swim up
It's these golden months, I love and miss
From the skateboards, moto-bikes and gigs
The football games and the family trips
The crops look full and damn my lawn looks sick
So sit and listen to the words I'm spittin'
I've written a lot of songs, but never have kicked it
A feel good track from a Maniac
Crawled out my Battleshack to party and relax!

[Hook] X3
This is my summertime song and we out on the deck
Chillin' with my family and friends
I got a whole lotta livin' to do before it's done
'Cause it ain't quite over yet

[Bridge] X2
It's summertime...
It's summertime...
It's summer... summer... summertime

R2K – Summertime Song [Official Audio + Lyrics]

Shhh! Got a brand new song for you guys! 

It's been a while since I put out any new music and thought now is the time to drop my newest single! I've spent so much time perfecting the lyrics and this is also the first beat that I have made all on my own! Make sure to give this song a like and share it because I worked really hard to create this track...oh, and by the way. April Fools! ;)

SILENT (Single)

R2K – SILENT [Official Audio + Lyrics]

Residing in Cut Knife, Saskatchewan, a certified carpenter in the day and an emcee by night. Grew up listening to Swollen Members, Sweatshop Union, Classified and many other underground Canadian hip-hop artists. 

Began to write and rap at the age of 15 with a few friends. Built a studio in my backyard in the summer of 2016 and picked up the pen once again. My brother and I have a YouTube series called "Thirsty Thursdays w/ R2K". Have a listen and spread the word. 

Represent: Battleaxe Warriors (Saskatchewan Division) 

-Richard Keys a.k.a. R2K.
