i gotta say
i been attending to the bank
like everyday
im making a play
just in the way
i be getting paid 
ian never like a bitch know that they ain’t on shit
i would never like a nigga playing all that he say she say
nigga im saying
you couldn’t be me
& then this fit
came straight from my hand
stay out the way 
i gotta say
you don’t get paid to be talking on me & that’s far as i seee
you niggas been sleep
better not beef
grudges i keep
i gotta do what niggas don’t do
i gotta woo who nobody can woo & i mean what i say
i do not play
i just get cakee 
don’t play with my cakee
im passing the phone to a nigga that’s wrong
for ever thinking i wasn’t go pop
like fuck out me face 
i gotta say
i got romaine it’s all in my chase
i hop on the beat dissociating
hop on the scene off a lil xan
got smoke in my throaat 
so how do i know
if i should quit
if i should tote
leave me alone 
if you not talm 
about a bag you can render me gone
keeping my attitude on
drinking on Rena to sippin on Rum
planning to fight a garcon 
i couldn’t wait til i could put niggas on
Merica falling like Rome
the plan is get rich get money alone
i be alone on the road
cus trusting is something im not
yes i make money a lot
do nothing but still be on top

Tre Ess’s latest drop is a collaboration of epic proportions with 8 other Indian rap artists - Tienas, Cizzy, Jay Killa, Gravity, Kav-E, Nihal Shetty and the Accountant. NEW RELIGION is a multilingual rap anthem with darker undertones. Tre Ess produced the beat with the idea of treating it as a living, breathing entity; the beat changes and molds according to each rapper’s lyrics or flows.  From it’s humble beginnings, Indian Hip Hop has come a long way, NEW RELIGION is a clear representation of what the future holds, with rappers showcasing more versatility than ever before.

In the order of verses -

Cizzy | Bengali | Kolkata -

Based out of Kolkata, Rounok Cizzy Chakraborty is the most prominent voice in bringing Bengali rap to the masses. With an exceptional ability to blend in with any style of music, Cizzy is the pioneer and the known face of Bangla rap in India and started rapping way back in 2009. Due to Hindustani Classical training, he has a unique approach towards Hip Hop music and an inclination towards bangla folk.

Tienas (Azadi Records) | English | Mumbai -

Tienas is a rapper based out of Mumbai, repping Azadi Records and FTS Elementaries. Known to have a very smooth nonchalance style of rapping, it was interesting to see how Tienas would switch his style since his particular song required a thematically aggressive approach. 

Kav-E | English | Mumbai –

Kav-E is one of the few classic spoken word artists of Mumbai rap scene who notably stands out because of effortlessly switching to newer styles of Hip-Hop over time. Hailing from Goa, Kav-E has made a name for himself by rapping in his native tongue of Konkani but chose to rap in English for NEW RELIGION. He has won numerous rap championships and accolades over the years. His struggle was captured in the hip hop documentary, Breaking Bombay.

Gravity | Hindi | Mumbai  - 

Gravity was  was shortlisted to appear on the track even before there was a beat. Tre’s favorite Hindi rapper in the country right now, Gravity is known for being a wordsmith. He’s been consistently evolving with every single track he has released and like Tienas, he’s also dropping his debut project this year. Representing the side of Indian Hip-Hop that many others have claimed to rep but few are as genuine. Gravity is based out of Mumbai and is also part of the collectives, Death Clutch Music and Bombay Lokal.

Glowsticks (feat. Marthyan)

Glossy (feat. Cartel Madras)

This song was written to shed light upon what's happening to the forests of Maharashtra, Aarey in particular. Mumbai's last remaining green lung is under severe threat, and the apathy of the people has made it much worse.
Avni the tigress was killed in Maharashtra's Yavatmal forest for similar political-builder nexus profits.

Wake up. 
We are all products of the forest.
Mother Nature provides for us all; all it asks is that we don't hack it to death, but somehow we can't seem to stop doing that.
We're killing our mother, our siblings, and even ourselves.
How much more?
We have to be better, and we have to do better.

This is for Avni, this is for Aarey, this is for Mother Nature.

#SaveAarey

LYRICS:

[Chorus]:
Twameva mata cha pita twameva, twameva bandhu cha sakha twameva
Twameva vidya, dravinam twameva, twameva sarvam mamadeva deva
Chhodo yeh jungle, kar denge dangal
kahin aur laga tu yeh eenth aur patthar
Jungle hi mata hai, devi yehi hai
apne bachhon ke haathon se hi kat rahi hai

(Verse):
Ghat rahi hai, sad rah hai, mar rahi hai, 
lad rahi hai apne bachhon se hi dharti ma ne
kya kiya tha paap jo sapoot the hazaar, fir bhi jaane kaise bandaron se aaye yeh insaan?
Balwaan banke, yeh shaitaan bante, janwaron ko maarke khudko bhagwaan samajhte
apne ma ko kaatke, uske kore laash pe, paisa paisa karke dekho buildingein bana rahe

Adivasi jungle ke prani, galti se bhi mat kaho inko beghar ya basti wasi
Inki kalakaari aur samaaj saari, hai khatre mein tabhi bane hain saare krantikaari
Chitra, nritya, natya ki kala nibhake
mitra, pitra, putra sab awaaz uthate
Inki fir bhi sun le shayad ek baar, par unki kaun sune, kya karenge janwar bezabaan?

[Chorus]

(Verse):
What choice do they have but to brawl with paws and claws, while we cower behind our rifles and chainsaws?
Cut the forest down for our own selfish cause, then raise an alarm when they come to see the home that was
Before the walls, malls, temples and mosques
before the industrial revolution, or the district laws
before men and women came to fight about right and might, and colour of skin or religious kin
conveniently forgetting its another's house that we're living in

While they just stand it, stranded, unable to speak our language
our mother looks on assessing from a point of vantage
They are her children, we are too, but when a boy grows wild
his ego needs to be vanquished, banished, cut open without a bandage
Made to feel the wrath of consequence and understand it, made answerable for actions and arrogant distractions
Nature will return the favour with severe reactions, as balance comes through divisible fractions.

[Chorus]

I'll Call The Corpse.
