DOA - The Return

BANG! @southernvangard radio Ep456! Our longtime friend J Scienide joins us in-studio this week for a very special episode - why it took ten years to get this brother live in-studio is beyond all of us. That said, we got the scoop on what J’s been up to since recovering from a harrowing near death experience last year - including his new project with Giallo Point, what it was like rocking at the Full Plate “RATIONS” release party with Dillon and Large Professor here in Atlanta and what he’s serving up in 2026 and beyond. Of course we get into tons of new joints, as Q4 continues to bless us with some of the best underground rap all year. You best believe it’s that #SMITHSONIANGRADE and #YOUWAAAAALCOME // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on all platforms #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap

Episode 456 - Southern Vangard Radio

Kaspr Connexion.wav

I wrote my will in winter breath and signed it with scars.
This track lives between the hearse and the altar — where knives turn into prayers and graves get overturned by grace.
Every bar is a confession, every hook a courtroom where death loses on appeal.
Sirens in minor, mercy in major.
Paid in full. Case closed.

Lyrics:

I wrote my will in winter breath, each syllable a frostbit vow,
Stared the hearse down, blinked first? Never — we can talk that now.
I was prey in the alley, now I pray in the valley of knives,
Let the altar alter me—cut sin loose, rethread my life.
Cross on my back like freight and fate—same weight, same wait,
Every late-night doubt tried taxing grace; He waived that rate.
I keep a psalm in the chamber, spin the cylinder—click, it’s peace,
Devils audit my failures, God redlines each guilty piece.

I’ve seen halos go 404, then patch back in the bleed,
Where the sirens sing in minor C, He majors my need.
I buried versions of me—small funerals behind my eyes,
Every “R.I.P.” became “R.I.S.E.”—watch the letters revise.
If the grave writes laws, then Grace appeals—case closed, say less,
I’ve got tombstone etiquette: bow once, then step.
When the clock gets hostile, I baptize time in faith,
Let the second hand drown, surface clean—new pace.
If death wants rent tonight, slide this note beneath the bar:
“Paid-in-full, signed Blood of the Son”—stamped across my scars.

Paid in Full (Blood Receipt)
