imagine life like a petri dish in which one resides in freefall. the people around us are like chinese finger traps. if one pulls and clings too tightly to everyone around them,  theyre often stuck and don't grow emotionally.

very very good sound 😎☀️🤩 I enjoy your tracks 👍🍀✴️

I like the change in pace, still the same Ali

RSE Radio premieres "Late For The Sky" featuring Slug of Atmosphere and Aesop Rock!



Evidence - Late For The Sky feat. Slug and Aesop Rock (Radio Rip)


Rapper/songwriter Wax is releasing his new mixtape “The Cookout Chronicles” on Friday, September 2, 2016.  The Internet rap pioneer has developed a dedicated following over the last several years, a following which is sure to embrace this project.  After finding major success in Europe with his hit “Rosana” and viral success worldwide with his creative video content, Wax is now in a place where he just does what he wants.  In creating “The Cookout Chronicles” over the last year or so, he just wanted to write and record “feel good shit."
 
The mixtape has more featured artists than any project Wax has dropped in the past.  The features include blues rap legend G Love, art rapper Open Mike Eagle, rapper and TV personality Awkwafina, and underground rap heavyweights Jerron Benton, Sahtrye, and Intuition.  As always, his twin brother Herbal T also appears on a track.  While Wax handles most of the production himself, his frequent collaborator EOM adds some beats, as do a few other producers.  Experimental bass guitar prodigy Mono Neon adds two tracks to the project.   
 
 The Cookout Chronicles is Wax’s most cohesive project to date.  Wax says that the project is designed to be listened to all the way through, as he intended to craft the perfect soundtrack to a backyard barbeque.  The songs are generally of the “feel good” variety, and showcase the rapper’s talent for intricate, witty, rap bars and also his deftness with melody and harmony.  From the bossa nova inspired “First Love” to the blues/funk jam “So High”, the songs can accompany a cold beer on the porch or an all out party.  For the hardcore rap fans, “Bulletproof” veers off the chill path, with an evil head nodding beat that would work well as the soundtrack to a worldstar fight video.  The mixtape contains an astounding amount of quotable rap lines, leaving the listener to repeatedly ask “how the fuck did he think of that?”
 
The Cookout Chronicles will be available on all major digital outlets on September 2, 2016.  You can find Wax at:

From Brother Ali's full length album,  "All The Beauty In This Whole Life" out May 5th on Rhymesayers Entertainment: http://rse.lnk.to/AllTheBeauty

"This is another presentation made possible by community. We shot it in New Mexico at Dar Al Islam, a beautiful worship and healing center built mostly by American Muslims in the Adobe style prevalent in the Southwest. Spiritual and wisdom tradition holds that buildings should be designed in harmony with the natural beauty of the location, as well as the culture of the people in that area. Many of my elders built this place, and many of my friends grew up there. 

One thing interesting about this location is that after the death of Tupac Shakur, the Dar Al Islam community opened its doors to film his “I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto" video there. 

The dancers are Al Taw’am from Minneapolis. You may recognize them from the "Mourning In America” video, as well as their own international videos and news pieces.  The twins are dear family friends and leaders in our cultural and spiritual community. Their movement speaks of their family legacy of dignified regality. I believe them to be royalty. They choreographed this incredible piece and brought the entire song and video to life. 

The video was directed by Kron, whom we've worked with in the past. He and his crew did an incredible job and I'm deeply grateful. 

Of course, Ant made the track with G Koop playing the instruments and deM atlaS added some additional operatic vocals at the end of the song. Special thanks to: Siddiq, Sidi Hakeem Archuletta, La'kisha Raeesah Holloman, Amir Sulaiman, and anyone else I'm forgetting.
Please enjoy."

LYRICS:

I don’t know where to turn
I hit my head I guess I’ll never learn
But they tell me I should let it bleed let it sting let it burn
Get my head firm

My goodness good morning
You’re still an apprentice
Every generation of MC f**k with me so ill by consensus
You see what I speak you touch it and feel it all six of your senses
My mission is endless I’ve been in this ten and I’m still as relentless
Now build you a fence if you’re feeling defensive 

My power comes from the Most High
Lord God of the globe sky
Soul vibration is so fly I can walk on water no lie
Champion author small fry rock of Gibraltar north side
Serving this culture might I confide that I’m here to assault you

I got some money in the bank that I did not have when I start
Got a little money up in my hand I do not have money in my heart
I’m standing on champion greatness
I can not claim it cause that’s the creator I stand up and state it
That’s not bragging it’s praying that’s what I’m saying

I don’t know where to turn
I hit my head I guess I’ll never learn
But they tell me I should let it bleed let it sting let it burn
Get my head firm

Ya Hafidh Ya Wadud
I was standing on stage when my hero died 
feel the heartbeat of my people’s cries
Nation nineteen thirty three bowties 
light of the deen gleaming in your eyes
Even when the tears flow down both side you know why you sacrificed your whole life
You can go ahead let your soul fly cause the whole tribe blood line flow through mine

Listen we love to fight cause we fight for love
the poor righteous sons where the diamonds from
Libraries are transcribing us 
and our ancestors are more alive than us
put down everything you’re trying to clutch 
an undying lust to see the climate just
baby we ride ‘til our time is up
that’s just The Divine in us

I don’t know where to turn
I hit my head I guess I’ll never learn
But they tell me I should let it bleed let it sting let it burn
Get my head firm

Woodchip Grinder... ft. Mac Lethal & Aesop Rock

All You Get is an affirmation to take life (with a grain of salt) and make it yours. A mantra for a disillusioned world waiting for someone else to save it, a comforting reminder that much of what we prioritize isn't as valuable as love & purpose.
