LYRICS:
I should of been here a long time ago
Took a while to find the right skull that my brain fits
Big heart gotta make sure the rib cage thick
Strong legs supporting the frame that I placed it
Faceless you don’t even notice when I shapeshift
Greatness
Happens when you focus in the stasis
State switch
Whether in a globe or in a matrix
Agent
Clone that be patrolling with the name Smith
Neo in this insane glitch
Bang clips
Dodge it, I reloaded ‘til it grazed him
Flame lit
Finally I woke up from this strange trip
Wake since
Body was a coma as it laid stiff
Batta so much older than his age is
Higher than than vultures of the cranes get
Body is pagoda on a crane lift
Plane hit
Tower topple over like a crane kick
Tubal Cain on the cane and the crank hit
Take the remains and create with the masons
Like Plato with play do I clay mold and pay doe
Hope they know my doe ain’t the doe that you play with

I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign 
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign
I reign sol supreme 
I reign sol supreme 
I reign sol supreme
I reign 
I reign sol supreme 
I reign sol supreme 
I reign sol supreme
I reign 


What if you're the lone survivor
Last human ever known surviving alone
Last soul acquires the whole entire combined light of every living soul that died on the globe
Life twilight zone inspired
What’s power in the hands of the only fiver is own
Nation of one, Earth if you don’t divide her
Moses, Joseph, Job, Elijah
If they been waiting for the Sol Messiah and his holiest host
For holding a ghost inside of, I’m close
The divine chauffeur driver Jehova hired
The only rider he chose for guiding the coast
Roam through Gaia
Posted high upon a dark horse
My saddle and my rope is tied to the coach
Dark horse
Gold logo sign on the side of the new chrome testarossa tires with spokes
Whoever stole my lighter is no
Match for the flame that my dope requires to tote
Indo Flintstone igniter
I smoke
Dovin’ ocean holding fire the float
You would choke if you quote what I wrote for writers
Occult oath reciter and potent rhymer
This blunt that I hold the light up is a baton 
I composed the choir the notes I spoke is higher
Then vocals of the old Mariah
I would died before I ever tell the coach I’m tired
I won’t expire, Covid fighter
My T-cells stay mobile I’m your phone provider 


I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign 
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign 
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign

LYRICS:
They say a rose by any other name is still a rose 
And the sturdiest can breach through the granite from which it grows
Then I suppose that I’m destined to shock the globe, 
And that electrifying used to describe me is apropos
I’m a — child of chocolate city, Barry era
Where they might’ve shot you, left you simmering in your marinara
And where them conga drums is rooted in Ghanaian firma Terra 
Gentrifiers try to mute the beat, I’ll freak it, acapella
Bust it, the whole world tried to tell me what I wasn’t 
But not enough pushed me to extraordinary budgets
Trying to exchange this currency to a language you can stomach 
Show you this Eagle eye view from every angle of my summit
Got my formal education from my bloodline, that’s IV
Came up in the heart of cocaine 80s, bruv, no ID 
Life was mostly bitter with a little bit of sweet
I had to concentrate to get all of this juice, guess that’s Hi-C
They could never break our resolve, homie, I meant that
December baby, goat status destined thru my ascendant
I tend to keep a chunk of something crystalline on my pendant
I’m Liston, Sonny landing these hits with maximum impact 
Yeah you see it, this big uterus energy
The ones that try to play me, them pricks usually into me 
But they intimidated cuz’ sis stupidly gifted
And if you outta order, I’ll show you the sheer brute of my entropy
The game still worried ‘bout my fruit of the loom
But this that motherland talk and y’all the fruit of my womb 
I’m tryna reanimate the work of Tubman through every tune 
‘Til every black butterfly alive done flew the cocoon 
See I don’t gotta lotta time for the slicksters and fast talk
I’m tryna build another Wall Street from the asphalt 
You looking for the leader of the pack then go ask Thought 
All my dawgs is apexes and yalls is industry mascots 
If I drop something, you know that it’s gon be the shit 
Got rappers scooping up my biz’ and getting the bag with my schtick 
But this is certified organic, could never recreate the real
And all them hours in the lab gon do is have me more sick 
Whoa, I know that must sound cocky
But Sa-Roc to rap like lil bit of turbinado to ground coffee 
Got a full grasp of this Queen’s English
But when that tongue loose, I’ll hit the booth and make that heifer sound cockney 
Call me Shocklee, public enemy on every property 
Cuz I’m a product of that rebel aristocracy
So they trail me and Internet stalk me
Cuz I’m exorcizing demons with this drip Mephistopheles 
Me and Sol Messiah ain’t come to play by your rules
We finna leave these cheesy dudes chopped, slivered and screwed 
This is prophecy, this path is a lot bigger than you 
So imma keep stirring the pot, til the plot thickens and brews

Producer Cess Less creates a tranquil, almost meditative vibe with just a touch of mysticism – an ideal soundscape for Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman to deliver over three minutes of humorously witty societal observations and personal anecdotes.

LYRICS: 
Homeboy Sandman:

You’ll understand my sense of urgency 
I be the cat that put “emergence” in emergency 
More than a half a mind to save my whole community 
I’m just not certain what something like that’ll do to me
Sandy’s on the mound and pitching for the home team
All the information’s listed on the home screen 
Once I started ain’t no switchin’ out to plan b
Once I started ain’t no screaming out “it can’t be”
You can catch the bluest ribbon in the red sea 
You can catch the true and living in the dead sea 
Magic lingers while the fingers on your screen scroll
Please believe it you can read it in the sea scrolls
Fortune frowns on anybody out to take lives
If you’re considering a silly thing then take five
I am avid as I’m having me a great time
I’m aware you might have heard this through the grapevine 
When I’m chompin on the bit it ain’t a bit dull
If you want it you can get it thru your thick skull
See I grew up on Atari playing pitfall
See I grew up on Safari of the brick walls
I’m a composite of many different aspects
I’m a undercover operative of aztecs 
Bastion riding falcor tryna spot artex
Examining the outdoors for the spot marked X
Behind the wheel of True’s land cruiser I cruise land
Listen and you’ll hear it it’s the spirit that moves man
Picking out a jacket for hijacking a news van
Rappers don’t know diddley but me I’m a blues man
I be on it like I saw it with a bird’s eye
If it’s doable I done it on my first try
Breaker breaker peep the phantom about to break fly
Every bit of data fatter than a steak fry
Doin what I gotta to remain on the blacklist 
Up until you find out that was only a catfish 
Every other human come including an asterisk 
Thank you all for snoozing now for using my last wish

Aesop Rock:

Pitched a few snow balls
Skipped a slew of rolls calls
Dipped into the sewer, grew his hair out like a troll doll
Blew the man-hole cover up to the sand bluff 
Down to the river took a knee with my hands cupped
Man-Ape free to hydrate or be ambushed
The slant grow from “look at him go” to  “heavens I can’t look” 
King Upsetter, surely cursed be the name 
Every word an urgent love letters bursting into flames
Editor-in-chief at the Bloodletter gazette
Every drip on the cement could fill-up another cassette, and does 
Reaper knocking at me through the diner glass 
Invite him in
Yes I know the die is cast, now try the grits
Let him get the check, and offer thirty seconds clear to run 
It’s ten before he skip the other twenty on some “here I come” 
Which way’d he go
Strafe and follow any trace of spirit gum
Mustache and glasses disappear into the zero sum 
No road atlas only roads to Damascus
Where the roses are for growing not for throwing at some pageant
Y’all just pinning little ribbons on each other as catfish 
Swimming in the chasm between what you publish and practice
I wake up every day and move different than I used to
Smarter than whichever bear’s assuming that you do too
Doozie after doozie, up and brushing off the lab coat 
Cold bath, bo staff, back on his Max Roach
Tap into the tape gun, mail you back to Hasbro
Bring me to the big cheese, all I see is crab toast
All you see is parachutes raining from the matmos 
All I see is parody and parroting and plateaus
‘Round here that’s pretty much a cousin to the flatline
I would rather level-up than fraternize with magpies 
Patron saint of Isolation, heart of palm and graphite 
Teaching kids to put away the crack pipe, that’s lice

Overcast! (Remastered Vinyl Edition)

Atmosphere - Ode To The Modern Man (Lightning Blend)[Remastered]

Hard Easy (Featuring Del The Funky Homosapien)

tragedy is the darkness that makes the stars brighter...50,000,000+

10 Gray Scale

One of my most popular songs (thanks to Pandora). This is the official "growing up" theme song for hip hop. Most of us will reach the age where we can no longer relate to what music, culture, and life has to offer us. I never knew so many people would feel this song during the time I was writing and recording it.

Welcome TRADEMARC to the Strange Famous family! His SFdigi debut Blood Meridian drops November 22, 2019!
Limited edition 7-Inch Lathe Cut Records, exclusive merch packages & Digital Downloads are available at http://tinyurl.com/TrademarcSFR. 

When the world last heard from Trademarc (born Marc Predka), it was 2015 and he had collaborated with producer DC The MIDI Alien to create the album Black Ash Days, a deeply personal documentation of his descent into complete emotional and mental breakdown. The album was a stark and harrowing look into his darkest moments, including accounts of his multiple suicide attempts. It was also an important step in his catharsis. Marc explains the decisions he made when deciding how to follow such a heavy and intimate record: “I felt the need to expand my reach beyond that subject matter. I didn’t want those experiences to define who I am as a person and artist forever. The BAD album will always be there as a document of that side of me. I live with Bi-Polar Disorder, which many people do, but with this project I felt it would be healthy to display more range than just being ‘the depressed, suicidal guy.’ I’d covered that ground in depth, and wanted to show what it was like to spend some time in the light at the end of the tunnel.”

The sound of Blood Meridian was shaped by the Filthy Animals production team, and the vibe came about in part due to the influence of the producers’ PENPALS crew. “I feel like being around those guys really helped open me up to different, more positive, even humorous avenues of music I probably wouldn’t have explored without them. They really helped get me out of my comfort zone with their amazing work,” Trademarc explains.

Trademarc is no stranger to forming and furthering friendships through music. He began his musical journey with fellow indie rap heavy-hitters 7L & Esoteric (CZARFACE), forming his first official group (God Complex) with the duo in the mid-90s. After the crew’s split, Trademarc hooked up with another (more literal) heavy-hitter: his cousin, professional wrestler (and rapper) John Cena. The pair released the RIAA certified-platinum LP You Can’t See Me on Columbia Records, touring the US and Europe and making high profile appearances on TV’s Monday Night RAW. In 2008 joined old friends Esoteric and DC for 3 releases as the indie rap supergroup East Coast Avengers.

After the Avengers disassembled, Trademarc’s next endeavor led to a fortuitous connection: “Sage Francis liked the video that was released for the title track of Black Ash Days and we started a dialogue. It was an amazing moment for me as I remember bumping Personal Journals (Sage’s 2002 debut LP) quite a bit when that dropped.” The two continued to trade emails and demos, and after hearing what was in the works for Trademarc’s next project, an official alliance was inevitable. “Sage graciously welcomed me to the Strange Famous family, and Blood Meridian is the result.”

Francis makes an appearance on the Blood Meridian track “Latuda”, a critique of Big Pharma and its effect on our over-prescribed culture. Other standout cuts include the first single “Codebreaker”, where moody horn stabs spar with gritty breaks as Trademarc punches himself back to life with full zombie-fist action, and “Honor Killing”, a two-verse double-time assault that showcases the rapper’s verbal dexterity, putting to rest at the outset any question of Trademarc’s bona fides.
