LYRICS
Crawl back to life
It's been far too long
Crystallized
Round interstellar moons
Speed of light
Into your atmosphere
What's your world like?
Is the house we built still here?
Girl you know...
 
When the beat of my drum
Meets the beat of your heart
You'll know I couldn't love
Any other Any other
This is where I come from
This is where I belong
With the beat of your drum
Not any other
 
Fall through the sky
Little specks below
Magnify
The further down I go
I feel it in my bones
Can you feel it too?
Is this the world I've known?
Is the house we built still here?
Is the human race sincere?
 
When the beat of my drum
Meets the beat of your heart
You'll know I couldn't love
Any other Any other
This is where I come from
This is where I belong
With the beat of your drum
Not any other
 
Feel the force of time
Weighing down my mind
Tears you've cried
Screaming at the sky
Come outside
The rays are shining bright
 
Oh-Oh!
 
Not any other!
Where I come from!
Where I belong!
 
When the beat of my drum
Meets the beat of your heart
You'll know I couldn't love
Any other Any other
This is where I come from
This is where I belong
With the beat of your drum
Not any other

Roskin Doblin (Home Prison Version) by Awkward feat. Ab Rude

Mega and Awkward hit you with the 1st single off the upcoming EP "Hell On Hell" on M9 Entertainment! 

Megabusive w/ Awkward - Sidewalk Symphonies

From the upcoming album "Dark Comedy," available June 10th from Mello Music Group.

ABOUT THE ALBUM:
One famous Oscar Wilde aphorism claimed: “if you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise, they’ll kill you.” Open Mike Eagle lacks the capacity to tell anything but the truth. In a nation that prizes self-aggrandizing buffoons and artful liars, morbid humor might be the sanest response—a tourniquet to stop the toxicity from spreading. 

If this sounds heavy, it’s probably because it is. Dark Comedy, the Mello Music debut from the critically revered Los Angeles rapper, is mostly about the failure of Karl Marx’s Proletariat Revolution. Yet its brilliance stems less from the novelty of its ideas than from the ingenuity of its wordplay, its caustic whimsy, and infectious melodies. 

Opening track “Dark Comedy Morning Show” operates as a shorthand manifesto. For those who haven’t heard, Eagle’s bad at sarcasm, so he works in absurdity (when trying not to wish death on the upper class). The airing of grievances includes racial stereotypes, inner-city warfare and Facebook logging all of his favorite sandwiches. It’s Slug’s “Modern Man’s Hustle” if the Atmosophere frontman had been haunted by James Baldwin’s ghost instead of heavily tattooed exes. 

Lead single “Qualifiers” finds Eagle subverting the notions of traditional rap braggadocio and lyrical terrain. His revolution isn’t just some abstract political ideals, but at the crux of his approach to art. This is intended to dump Coconut Water and whiskey on the unsuspecting heads of those with false ideas of authenticity or what rap should be.  

Lest you mistake him for a meditating yoga-panted rapper, the rapper raised on the Southside of Chicago, wields wordplay as sharp and weird as any of his peers. He proclaims himself “the King of all rappers who don’t condone date rape.” Molotov Cocktails are helpfully tossed from fellow conspirators Kool AD and comedian, Hannibal Burress.

Former hockey star Luc Robataille is rhymed with the Kobra Kai Dojo from Karate Kid. In the same breath, Eagle cracks about being too old to die. It’s absurdity in the sense that Joseph Heller deployed it in Catch 22. He will live forever or die in the attempt. 

If you’re just tuning into Eagle’s stellar career on album number four, the LA Weekly anointed him last year as the hottest thing in indie rap. Pitchfork called him a “whiz with matching easy-going hooks to intimate personal reflection.” But Dark Comedy could be the best thing he’s ever done—a record that captures the perennial struggle between art and commerce, the last half-century of widening class rift, and the need to be funny or die.

Dots And Dashes (Enough Already)

the road to glory made by willie kayl aka Rentagage and jovan banks aka Twirk

Road to Glory

It was 2008, and after two years of preparation Cadik's debut album was cleared off. Most of his typical flavour was already present then, as he took hip-hop to abstract ways like no other producers in those days.

The title 'Basic' refers to the building blocks that were used: exploding kicks, dusty snares, analogue basses. That's it. Of course it's leveled up with jazzy samples, discursive rhythmics, and so on. On top of the whole thing, Cadik won over some topnotch American and Hungarian rap and soul lyricists to contribute - already on his debut stuff.

This is how things were pulled together to kick off this tribute to the genre that has given so much to our beloved Cadik. It is a pleasure to finally represent this release in digital on Chi.
