“Find It Within Yourself” A multi-movement cipher suite that carves through mimic loops, institutional distortion, and spiritual amnesia. Delivered in Hip Hop Cipher RnB cadence over shifting BPMs and minor scales, the track maps a journey from breath-based autonomy to epistemic sovereignty and resistance doctrine. Each verse is a glyph — coded, ancestral, and uncompromising. The hook anchors the suite: “Find it within — the compass ain’t outsourced.” This is not just a track — it’s a doctrine of self-authorship.

"Before and After You Came Along” — Lyric Summary
This suite maps a transformation from emotional drift to purposeful clarity, tracing the arc of self-discovery sparked by a pivotal connection. The speaker begins in a fog — lifeless days, muted dreams, and a heart without narrative. But the arrival of “you” flips the script: not as a saviour, but as a mirror that reveals, heals, and ignites.
Intro & Verse 1: A life adrift, rhythmless and dim. The speaker moves like shadow, dreams silent, future blurred.
Hook: The turning point. With “you,” the speaker finds voice, song, and sunrise — walking now with purpose.
Verse 2: “You” doesn’t rescue — you reveal. The soul dances, wounds mend, and time bends into rhyme.
Breakdown: Ancestral echoes surface. The speaker shifts from longing to luminous — no longer counting stars, but shining among them.
Final Hook & Outro: Full fusion of genres mirrors emotional integration. The speaker no longer doubts or drifts — they are whole.
It’s a sonic memoir of becoming — Afrobeat groove, Dancehall cadence, and R&B glide all woven into a narrative of inner ignition

Sweet Home Comin’
This suite is a testament to return — not to nostalgia, but to reclamation. It maps the emotional terrain of exile, memory, and spiritual homecoming through cipher rap etched with soul and ambient folk textures. The barred gate in the jungle stream becomes a central motif: symbolizing both obstruction and passage, a surreal checkpoint between colonial rupture and ancestral reconnection.
The lyric moves through:
Displacement and silence — verses that reflect on lost lineage, broken geographies, and the quiet ache of belonging
Ancestral invocation — Akan phrases, sonic motifs, and melodic slack that summon cultural memory
Emotional testimony — not performative grief, but strategic vulnerability, carved in cadence
Reclamation — the final movement flips the gate into a portal, declaring that home isn’t behind us — it’s being rebuilt in cipher

“Stone and Screen”
This suite exposes the symbolic tension between faith and finance in London’s architecture. It maps how the London Stock Exchange, tucked behind St Paul’s Cathedral, isn’t coincidence — it’s coded optics.

"By-line and Bias - Journalism as Strategic Architecture 1.0" is a ciphered exposé — a 5–6 minute suite dissecting journalism not as neutral reporting, but as strategic architecture. Each verse interrogates the mechanics behind headlines, the motives behind silence, and the editorial scaffolding that shapes public perception.
The suite moves through sonic layers of melodic gravity, synth glide, and Goodie stab percussion, mirroring the emotional arc of the lyric: from analytical tension to geopolitical omission, from euphemistic distortion to final audit.
The visual rollout echoes this architecture — torn newsprint, blueprint grids, and redacted silhouettes — while the multilingual expansion reframes the suite for global resonance.
This is not a song. It’s a ciphered audit of the fourth estate. Every by-line is a blueprint. Every silence is a signal. Read between the headlines.

Cognitive Diminishment Is Coming Your Way, Ready or Not
Cipher Rap is about Mental Erosion and Strategic Exposure
This suite is a lyrical autopsy of the digital age’s quiet theft — where creativity, memory, and ritual are eroded by convenience, automation, and algorithmic design. Each verse exposes a layer of cognitive erosion, from the seduction of ease to the outsourcing of soul, naming the mechanisms that dim thought by design.
The hook warns with precision:
Cognitive diminishment, creeping slow / You won’t feel it till you’re hollow.
The suite moves through six movements:
Seduction of Ease – shortcuts replace sweat, ritual fades
Ritual Erosion – struggle erased, screens whisper what was lost
Outsourcing of Soul – AI writes pain, feed composes thought
The Mechanism Named – erosion coded into the interface
Ancestral Echo – elders carved from silence, not scroll
Final Exposure – resistance through cipher breath and fracture
It’s not just critique — it’s a call to reclaim the grind, to carve from fracture, and to resist the dimming. The suite spits for minds that won’t be bought, for thoughts that rupture every plot.

SWIFT Melting Away
Cipher Rap × Financial Warfare × Sonic Dissolution
This lyric is a strategic indictment of global financial architecture — specifically the SWIFT system, long used as a tool of Western dominance. The suite exposes how sanctions, surveillance, and monetary control are being bypassed, reversed, and recomposed by emerging powers. It’s not just a collapse — it’s a quiet pivot, where liquidity leaks and coded resistance rises.
Each verse maps a layer of erosion:
Verse 1–2: The signal starts to drip, the architecture cracks
Verse 3–4: Bypass systems bloom, liquidity leaks
Verse 5–6: Strategic reframe and final exposure — resistance through cipher breath
The hook lands like a whispered warning:
SWIFT melting away, drip by drip / The empire slides, grip by grip
 Story Behind the Lyric
This Lyric was  carved from the stand point of the current geopolitical fracture line — where BRICS nations, crypto rails, and alternative clearing systems are dismantling Western financial supremacy. The title itself is a cipher: “SWIFT” isn’t just a system, it’s a symbol. And “melting” isn’t chaos — it’s strategic liquidity, a redefinition of power.
It was built to echo across borders — with sonic textures that simulate erosion, visual motifs that depict collapse, and a delivery style that feels like truth dripping through wire.

Metrics of Motive: The Architecture of Narrative Truth 4.0, is a lyric that — stripped to its strategic essence outlines the following:
🧠 Narrative Summary
The lyric exposes how numbers, models, and historical accounts are never neutral. It maps a journey through:
Statistical deception: Every figure is shaped by motive — from measurement error to model bias, but more critically by the intent of the architect behind it.
Curated memory: Historians don’t just report; they select, omit, and frame. The past is reconstructed to serve present agendas.
Scientific scaffolding: Truth is provisional. Popper and Feyerabend echo through the suite, reminding us that science is built on assumptions, not absolutes.
Policy distortion: Metrics are deployed to justify decisions, mask injustice, and silence dissent — especially in economic and humanitarian contexts.
Epistemic audit: The lyric becomes a ciphered manifesto, urging listeners to interrogate every graph, every stat, every “objective” claim.
It’s not a song — it’s a strategic dissection of how truth is architected, weaponized, and sold.

Metrics of Motive - The Architecture 4.0 #Hip Hop Cipher Rap

“Thank God, Still Have My Soul 3.0” Afrobeat R&B Soulful version- is a militant gratitude cipher — a survivor’s chant carved from the wreckage of capitalism, burnout, and systemic erasure. It maps the tension between what’s been taken (time, breath, dignity) and what remains untouchable: the soul. The verses move from economic dispossession to ancestral resilience, flipping trauma into testimony.
Key motifs:
Spiritual inventory after collapse
Surveillance and algorithmic control
Ancestral memory as resistance
Refusal to be digitized, branded, or broken
The hook echoes like scripture:
“They drained the breath, but couldn’t touch the flame… Thank God — still have my soul.”
Story Behind the Lyric
This suite was born from rupture — a response to systems that measure worth in metrics and monetize exhaustion. It’s a ciphered refusal to let the grind define the spirit. The title itself is a clenched-jaw thanks: not soft praise, but a declaration that despite the losses, the essence remains intact.
It draws from E>W. Du Bois’s “brief moment in the sun”
Modern precarity — gig work, debt, surveillance
Ancestral echoes — drum, chant, refusal
Spiritual clarity — what can’t be taxed, tracked, or sold

Thank God, Still Have My Soul  #Afrobeat R&B Soulful

Whistleblower 2.0, carved with forensic clarity and emotional voltage:
A truth-teller trapped inside a corrupt system reaches their breaking point. They've watched the rot grow — toxic waste buried, financial fraud normalized, silence rewarded. The weight becomes unbearable. They gather the evidence — the final straw — knowing it will collapse the system and destroy them. The leak detonates. Headlines erupt. The institution fractures. But the whistleblower is erased: fired, hunted, forgotten. While the public celebrates the fall, the architect of truth suffers in exile. The song is a memoir of bitter sacrifice — a voice that broke the camel’s back and paid the price for speaking.
