LYRICS
I heard they prey on weak / I heard they play for keeps / I feel em grabbing at my feet / I heard them say don't speak / I just hit another level / watch em try to pull me down / with the petty, with the heavy / put the devil in the crown / what can I say to you? / I’m too right brain for you / Twain my communique / you are what's in supreme / fuck boy starter pack / I’m Huck Finn, huck shit, Hassoi / living art in fact / I see deceit, I see em back stab / I’ve got no need for that / I’m sliding off like the god damn pizza rat / I’m out, I’m out, with that free that I just found / my sound and it bumps / look at what amounts from the jump / and I’m never coming down

I am living lawless thinking I won’t come down, come down / I am flying high now thinking I won’t come down, come down

all the doubters, they can shout from the towers  / I just laugh, I just stay up / what a way to waste your hours / I’m not wastin, I'm not wastin / boy I'm racing,  got no patience / I ain't stressing count my blessings / I go right into it / burn the brightest til It’s done  / right into the sun
more cognitive than dissonance / they call me Icarus /I am stretching my whole frame out / they’re readying their takedowns from safe ground / pulling all their blades out / cut me up, cut me up, what they really gonna take? / cuff me to the truth of failure ay that's okay / why you’re living like a stowaway, I go my own / far from perfect but let no person put a verdict on that, no way / cannot touch me, cannot touch me / I am beauty I am ugly / I am living art / play your part

I love this beat. I think ICETEP captured some amazing feeling in this one, big rises and falls, sweeping synths, I don’t know, there is just something unique and special about that beat to me. This was the first beat I got for this album, and it was the last song I finished; I wound up turning it in the day before we went to mastering. The song is about immediacy, and that sense of desperation in immediacy.  I wrote this in memoriam of some lost friends. Something woke in me when they died. Something fierce and urgent. And I wanted to share that sense of urgency on this song, to share that expression of being relentlessly present and driven to do whatever it is that you want to do.

Brutal Dance

Rap music from the near and bleak future; or more aptly, from next week’s dystopia. Artería Verité is a concept album that ended up being more future-realist than conceptual.

While on tour two years ago, the newly formed AIR CREDITS— Chicago rapper ShowYouSuck and producer Steve Reidell of The Hood Internet— came by the Minneapolis studio of SIMS (Doomtree, Shredders) to collaborate for the first Air Credits album Broadcasted. Sims then took Air Credits on tour in support of his 2016 album More Than Ever, largely produced by Minneapolis artist ICETEP. Immediately following that tour, these four met up in the studio (first in Chicago, then later in Minneapolis) to create Artería Verité. 

Sims and ShowYouSuck handle the raps, pulp-driven snapshots from the wasteland and its inhabitants, their means for survival, their need to commune, their arterial link to one another through underground channels of communique. ICETEP and Reidell handle the production, sweeping synths over a vascular pulsing of low frequencies creating a tension, like a machine seeing its own blood. The songs speak to our baser needs to find each other, especially when in the shit.
