The Suicide Letter...
To start this off, this is not actually a suicide letter... However a discussion I had with L.T many years ago does give it the title it holds,essentially... because I have written so many of said letters it made sense to us that on all of my solo musical projects my "Thank Yous" might as well be called The Suicide Letter because they end up adressing the same people.
Its no secret that for 9 (going on 10 years) ive been chasing this dream of mine, admittedly... there have been many periods of time where I thought I wouldnt get this far and I can rant on about that for pages and pages..but it reflects in alot of my music so... that'd be kinda pointless. Anyway...
This isnt an album, and as such, I will not be jotting off a list of names of the people that matter most to me, or thanking all of my influences (That track aint make the cut #MyLaugh), or doing that old cliche and saying "this is for my fans" because my lack of "commercial" success and or "underground" recognition pretty much proves I dont really have any yet.
However (no names) Thank you to everyone that stood by me, thank you to everyone that left my side. Thank you to all of the people listening to the music I make and a real bunch of love to the people that took that time and wasted the data or cash money to download this tape..And as always,if yall like it... Spread it, how you spread it dont phase me so yeah.Appreciate Yall
Now...
This is where this Suicide Letter starts getting more serious, I do not own any rights to any of these beats (not a single one) and for most of them,its irrelevant because its a free tape but... I did take a few of these beats from random producers that I have not acknowledged and for that I do apologise... If I knew yalls names,id put them on..basically... Please dont sue,if I used your beats (even though said beat makers will never (thank you and f*#K you South Africa) hear this tape (Hopefully reach international waters though)
Uhm.. yeah, Long ass letter right???
The concept and purpose of The Lazarus Complex to me personally was to try and re-instill the hunger I had once had to chase this dream to the extent where I might actually start making the moves I need to... Time A Tell if it works,but...suffice to say, its has re-ignitted the passion of the emcee in me..and that should show more on the next project
Also,The Lazarus Complex is essentially an extended metaphor that can be interpreted in several ways...intended, it was meant to be both a ressurection of my self belief and hopefully breathe new life to the hearts,minds and souls of the people listening that may or may not believe that Hip-Hop is dead... ITS NOT
There is another note that comes with this one that sort of well..youll see if you read it
Beyond that,This tape as all of my projects is dedicated to the lives lost throughout the hip-hop universe.. You will always be remembered by those whos lives you made impressions on.Immortality is more than living forever,its leaving a lasting legacy behind if you dont...
R.I.P to all the family in hip-hop that I personally lost:Dario "Trey Flipp" da Costa,Luis "L.T" Texeira,Tyler "Gauge" da Costa,Sasha "Silver" Monteiro di Matteo and Big Bass
J.Dilla and Nujabes Rest In Beats
To the legacies of Tupac Amaru Shakur,DeShaun Dupree Holton and Jemal Dewar.. what yall did with the time you gave on earth influenced me in more ways than you will ever know.
Thank You...
...Peace and Love...

2nd Year Anniversary

Cornelian Pyrrhic

An old joint I laced with Jaytee, one of two ill be releasing before the next project comes out. Vibe to it, if yall like it, share it if not oh well...

Love yall all regardless

Peace and Love

Samuel Santos - Frustrated

the second of the two I will be releasing before my next full project, another song I did with JayTee round about this time three years ago. Surely its not my finest work, but its too good to leave in the vault. Excuse the stumbling and the breath control, this was done in one take to keep the feeling behind it. As usual, if you like, please spread it, If you don't.. that's cool too. Love yall anyway

Peace and Love...

Santos - Deep Water

Another song I did with JayTee in college, he mixed and mastered it so yeah. Some things always seem to apply to my circumstances in life. I hopr yall dig it, if you do.. please share it with some one else that will and if not well.. thats cool too. Peace and Love
