Lyrics:

I'm a ghost. The bars are all death. I'm on coast. The brakes are all wrecked
I've been dosed. The batter's on deck. They all toast. Pop goes the contest
 
This beat's gettin' jumped like mattresses at Leon's
Gone seven years they still askin' me to be on
Old and wise. Cold as ice. Ain't running out of freon
Looks like I'm just not gon' die. I'm plastic after eons
 
Skyler Danes. Bell ringin'. Rappin' on Hellington
Joints like a skeleton. Too hot for flesh
Go nowhere like Peloton. Put on your wellingtons
Bringing the tide back in. Making a splash
 
SkyJakin' the beat like a Cakewalk loop
Now everybody's gettin' triggered like they gon' shoot
You're still hittin' on my post in this Facebook group
We gonna act like this elephant don't take up room?
 
I'm so sick that I sent my whole city into grey zone
Rappers in my field & they ain't never find their way home
I bark at these bitters. None greater than Dane
I'm saving the Bell. AC Slater's my game. Huh
 
You want this money? They gon' need ya best rap
You broke since they asked for that CEBA cheque back
The team put in work. You gotta pay for our stuff
I mean this verse probably worth at least 500 bucks

SPRING BREAKing $500 MC Contest (Breaking Wreckords Radio)

An introspective and personal project that's been hanging around in one iteration or another for 10+ years. Some of the lyrics are that old - some are brand new. Most of the music was done in recent years as much of it was initially written to sampled material (specifically alternative rock songs). Despite drums perhaps being my best instrument, I went with minimalist drum loops to give the project a chill and almost 'lo-fi' vibe. I've then peppered in some work on my electric, acoustic and bass guitar, along with a tickling of piano and light synths on the keyboard.

3 tracks draw inspiration from Ben Gibbards projects; October 2003 was written to the music of Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie and partly named after that song's release date; 52 Pick-Up is a rendition of The District Sleeps Alone Tonight by The Postal Service; and Silhouettes was originally written to samples from We Will Become Silhouettes by The Postal Service.
