Brooklyn emcee / producer Saga is back on his nostalgic frequency with new EP Wisdom Wears The Crown.  To drop on 11/19 it achieves the jazzy n’ rugged zone that he usually dwells in but with an added layer of dark cinematic atmosphere throughout. 

According to the artist the introspective EP was completely inspired by “frustration and anger” felt during the turmoil of current events and is an exercise in critical thinking and questioning motives.  He also leans heavily into addressing the shifting cultural norms that he is seeing among his city and loved one’s.

"As I get older my flow's colder than Triton..."

Chez & Epmax keep it on the dark side of the mic with snarky verses over this weighty Krohme instrumental, with guest turntablist DJ DS cutting up a storm - check out his Preemo-style hook using Epicentre's bars and incredible juggle-fest finale

Lyrics -

Epicentre:

I’m calling out promoters
who say I’m a don
that I smashed it
and then they won’t put me on
Take my advice son
you’re talking to an icon
with a firm grip on hip hop like a python
Bright talent
since I handled mic one
lyrics so dark
I write without the light on
As I get older
my flow’s colder than Triton
more iron than Tyson
spit bars all night long
Simple Simon
with a limited horizon 
I see through you like nylon
leave your girl wet with a wide-on
Now she got eyes on
that smoulder  
cos I told her it’s true
my boy’s taller than a pylon
Course she wanted to climb on
got bolder and told me
you’re smaller than a micron
I said I ain’t for you
but girl get your shine on
give that loser the news 
with a bullet to bite on
Told that cowgirl to ride on
I got a wife in my life
that I’ve already signed on
No joke I smoke mics from Sheffield to Saigon
Fuck coke
when I want a dope line I write one

Manlikechez:
Treat the mic like a Greek epic 
chasing rappers round the walls of Troy 
spear always at the ready
Hold steady with a three pronged attack 
the MythBusters had enough of bollocks in rap
So wont be hiring a Merc or a bird to sit on the bonnet 
while I floss about how much my game is on it
So mate, if you don’t know me 
I ain’t in the business if the business is karaoke
Truth is most rappers ain’t making much 
signing on or paying for studio time with buds
or working day jobs that they may or may not love
while I’m making music for the top buzz
Got the muses locked in and it’s all love 
but when it’s time for battle show an enemy fields of mud
You aint messing with the siren song
my words are troops and the army goes on and on and on
With war art like Sun Tzu 
you make poor art 
messing with the kung-fu
In my raw bars spear-hand strike runs through 
shooting stars like Vic and Bob used to

Painting by Julius Olssen..St Ives..1900
greatest marine painter who ever lived, more so than Turner
( and that's saying something )
the french promote their art, the brits just bury it in provincial galleries..(bo''ox to Tate Modern.)
