strictly speaking

Uhh yea damn!
Uh, like bitch I am the man!
Alright, look, uh (damn!)

I don’t pen things, man I just write rhymes
My heart full to the brink of past loves and slides 
My head rung on backwards
My pain persist to passion
I drink to cover scars, and the drinking tends to rehash them
Finally found the will to forgive mom, man I’m happy
To clear the air with her spirit through conversations with Yahzmine 
I really think I’m past it
I’m kinda getting too old
For fixation on past moments a nigga just can’t condone
Bro I’m on!
Shout out to my cousin, bro I’m on!
Social isolation though still be up on my phone
Trying to find a way without losing all control
Bro I’m on
Shout out to the bros who be keeping me envougue
Shout out Carlito, KAR11, AG with the loan
So I’m never alone even when the money fat
Imma get a hundred racks and spend it on a shelter
My therapist calm me down when I’m anxious from the pressure
My ex made me realize I’m not different, I’m a splitting image
Of everything I hate about people reflected in schism
I’m learning to love myself though it’s hard to love a sinner
When my sins weigh on me and my soul is deeply conditioned 
To negativity 
Positive affirmations, man I’m back to basics
Learning to accept who I was is the steps I’m taking
I’m kinda done complaining
How much more of life can misery become complacent?
How much more of life is wasted being sad and anxious?
Nigga fuck that!
Anger is a staple, necessary for the come back
Self reflection in mirrors need to bounce back 
Off your friends checking you for shit, don’t get vexed, dog, It’s a love tap (they love you!)
And I still got the flame, I thought I lost that!

DAMN

'The latest offering from looms. (also known as languid looms.) isn’t an album in the traditional sense. It’s a slow-burning, confessional exorcism of faith, shame, class, and memory – each track ringing like a bell in a place long since rebuilt. Known for retreating from the spotlight, looms. emerges here not with spectacle, but solemnity. No singles, no press roll-out, no algorithmic bait. Just sound, story, and stillness.

 

Unfolding across 15 tracks and a companion documentary by Jamie Flatters, what looms., The Carillon marks the artist’s most open act of resistance yet – against genre, industry systems, and the myth of visibility itself. It’s a body of work rooted in the ruins of a commuter town, shaped by a working-class Christian upbringing, and animated by guilt, grit, and glimpses of salvation.

 

Through The Lo & Behold Construction Company, he’s built an intimate ecosystem for his art to survive on its own clock: handwritten letters, limited drops, and voices speaking directly from the margins. In a culture that demands constant performance, looms. crafts a world where the music – and the message – can simply exist.'
