Ruby Ibarra & Donna - Radioactive Remix (Wake Up)

Ruby Ibarra left an open verse on one of her tracks for folks to hop on. Maybe a real collaboration could happen soon! Lyrics: 

Whatup Ruby? 
I gotta ask myself something.
Let’s go.

Where am I headed for?
and tell me why I’m goin? 
Am I really glowin
or am I just mistaken 
I don’t know 
but I’m movin through 
I swore I’d dance with chance
if opportunity ever asked me to 
I conquered lack of confidence 
conscripted my own prominence 
I redefine what prophet is 
and laugh at future consequence 
Plowin’ through the traffic 
like my rappin was an ambulance 
Breakin off my lyrics 
and just weighing my advantages 
It’s a vandals gamble to handle paintin’ on shambles
Mic control is can control 
I'm sprayin mental candles
Lyrics and some aerosol is fire for the people’s call 
Maybe that’s the reason 
that I’m writin in the dark for y’all 
Speakin’ at the ceiling 
while my doubters are still sleepin
laughin at me dreamin I’m the one they won’t believe in 
Fuck it, turn the pressure on, I’ve never been afraid of it 
a slave to it’s a conduit for music made of rocket ships
Ride with it, blast with it, love with it, smoke with it 
I’ma make it one day so you could say 
you’ll rock with it 
Lookin’ forward like a chief in his canoe 
The world will be surprised 
at what this savage can do 

So much at stake 
I’ma make it one day
til my name stays
I’ma make it one day
 
I swear to love 
I’ma make it one day
til my heart gives out
I’ma make it one day
That’s Meta 


Ruby Ibarra x Meta - Writers Block

King Chi Diallo - Bill Cosby (Produced by Nitti)

"Look What This World Did To Us." The command is rhetorical. You're already aware of the echo, the generational discontent and alienation, the whispered and denied calls for absolution. No need to look around, just check your bank account and sigh-or echo Biggie and scream, "fuck the world." 

Or melt into the couch and absorb Red Pill's debut for Mello Music Group-a novel disguised as an album, a surly hymn from poisoned lungs. It's a confirmation of what John Cage once declared: "all great art is a form of complaint." 

Or maybe the better comparison is Bukowski, memorializing the "broken factory windows of emptiness." That makes more sense in Ferndale, Michigan where Red Pill calls home. After college graduation, "Leonard Letdown" started working at a machine shop. A temporary gig turned into a labor daze. The dream of converting music into rent money seemed more elusive by the day. 

Depression compounded. The empty packs of cigarettes turned into cellophane towers. The whiskey mixed with an absence of hope. This album is a signal flare, an escape route, and catharsis. This isn't just hip-hop, this is an attempt to distill the disillusion and cure the hangover. It's both a brilliant mission statement and a jazzy funeral for what was promised but never delivered. 

This is for those who played by the rules only to discover that the game was rigged. This is a toast for those entering their late 20s and still acting like adolescents. It's an anti-Valentine to marriage and mortgages. It offers empathy for those buried under student loan and credit card debt, but who refuse to sink. Even if the smoke rings appear like nooses, this is an artful rebuttal to the nihilism. 

Your favorite song will be determined by what theme you relate to most. Look What This World Did To Us is in league with the best of early Atmosphere or Open Mike Eagle's Dark Comedy, a modern hustle of machinery and migraines. A commemoration of going a quarter century without a foundation and an acknowledgement of the nerves that accompany a future built atop fault lines. These are the late night conversations you have with your friends. The idle nights and empty bottles, the hard questions that come after you realize the world might not be yours.
