Every track is a chapter. Every bar is a testimony.
This project was born from the space between who I am and who I'm becoming; letters written from limbo, blueprints drafted in the dark, blessings carried on bruised shoulders. 11 tracks of soulful, orchestral hip-hop exploring faith, purpose, wealth, growth, and what it really costs to answer your calling.

TRUTH IN THE NOISE

Originally released on 10/01/2021, now it has become more relevant than ever so it is back as an official release. This is a political track regarding modern times in the U.S.

Future isn't something that happens to you.
It's something you build.

Week 9 of the Sovereign Protocol explores future templating and hope theory — learning how small decisions today become the architecture of tomorrow.

You are not just living your life.

You are designing it.

WK 9- THE ARCHITECTURE

Fuck the Alarm

A raw fusion of Delta Blues, Gospel, and Lo-Fi Conscious Hip-Hop, recorded at 70 BPM — slow enough to feel the weight of a hundred years of darkness.

Three voices carry this song. A weathered Bluesy Seeker wanders the dark, not knowing what light is because no horizon has ever existed. A Scholarly Practitioner drops rhythmic, authoritative bars that cut through the haze like a verdict. A Gospel Choir arrives when the light breaks — massive, communal, overwhelming — representing every soul who has been sitting in the same dark the entire time without knowing it.

The song ends in holy silence. No fade. A cut. Because some truths can only be received when speech stops.

Inspired by Chapter Seven of the Lotus Sūtra — the moment when a great light pierces the absolute void between worlds, and beings who have never seen each other suddenly do.

Never Aloned in the Dark

Woke up in a darkness,
 Lord Couldn't feel my hands
 Woke up in a darkness 
Couldn't even feel my hands 
Didn't know if I was living 
Didn't know where I stand

No sound, no motion 
Nothing moving but my blood
 No sound, no motion 
Nothing moving but my blood
 Felt like I been buried 
Underneath the mud

Been walking this long road, child 
Since before I knew my name 
Been walking this long road 
Since before I knew my name 
Birth and death and birth again 
Always feels the same
Cried out for a horizon 
Didn't know what I was crying for 
Cried out for a horizon 
Didn't even know what I was asking for
 When you never seen the light, child 
You don't know what light is for

Then the ground started moving—

(Seeker, wailing) 
Light came rolling like thunder through the sky—
(Choir, massive) 
Through the sky—
(Seeker) 
Shook the ground beneath me, made the dark step aside—
(Choir) 
Step aside—
Five million worlds were trembling when that great light broke free And the faces in the darkness finally started seeing—
WE WERE NEVER ALONE WE WERE NEVER ALONE
 Lord — we were never, never alone

Light hit my eyes like something
 I can't name Hit my eyes like something 
I still can't name And standing right beside me 
Was a soul inside the same

He said, where you come from, brother? 
I said, I been right here 
Said, where you come from, brother? 
I said, Lord, I been right here 
We been sitting in this darkness All these years

Before the sun or moon touched those in-between spaces— 
Beings locked in the dark between the ten directions' faces— 
No horizon, no witness, no concept of a neighbor— 
Just the weight of the skandhas, the unexamined labor—
Then the World-Honored One crossed the unexcelled threshold— 
The ūrṇā light fired outward through a silence centuries-old— 
Six kinds of trembling hit five million koti worlds— 
And the intermediate darkness finally got disturbed—

They looked around and asked: 
"When did these beings appear?" 
They didn't just appear, child— 
They been right here 
They been right here 
They been right here

When the light comes rolling like thunder through the sky—
Shakes the ground beneath you, makes the dark step aside—
And when that lamp starts shining you'll hear creation's tone—
 You thought you were walking lonely— 
You thought you were dying lonely— 
You thought you were the only—
BUT YOU WERE NEVER ALONE

The dark had no substance It was waiting to be broken 
The room was always full The word was always spoken
We are waking up together We are waking up together
We are waking up... together...
(Practitioner, spoken into silence) Holy silence.

Never Alone in the Dark

Subterfuge

“Honestly” by mhatanGRAUZAHN is a dark, emotionally charged track that sits somewhere between Trap, Emo Hip-Hop, and alternative Pop Rap. The song captures the feeling of being evaluated by a cold, impersonal system—where your entire life is reduced to numbers, bullet points, and the productivity of your labor.

Driven by a tense, atmospheric beat and vocals that move between disappointed, aggressive, and desperate, the track explores the pressure of modern bureaucracy: forms to fill out, plans you’re supposed to have, and the constant question of what comes next. But what if you never planned that far ahead?

At its core, “Honestly” is about confronting expectations you never asked for. It’s the moment when someone demands a long-term strategy for your life—and the only truthful answer is: this is as far as I could see.

The lyrics paint a bleak but honest picture of modern existence: committees shaping thoughts, performative empathy, and a system that measures worth through productivity. Against that backdrop, the song embraces uncertainty and chaos, rejecting the illusion that everything in life can be planned or optimized.

With its moody trap production, cloud-rap textures, and raw lyrical delivery, “Honestly” blends emotional vulnerability with quiet rebellion. It’s a track for anyone who feels like a random signal in a world obsessed with control, strategy, and metrics.

If you like dark trap, emo rap, atmospheric hip-hop, or introspective alternative rap, this track will resonate.

🎧 Turn it up if you’ve ever felt like the system expects a plan—but all you have is the truth.

HONESTLY

Sea Moss & Black Seed” is a health-inspired hip-hop record from Snake Puppy Beats that celebrates natural wellness and traditional herbal knowledge.

From mineral-rich sea moss harvested from the ocean to the legendary black seed oil used in traditional medicine, the track blends rhythm with a message about taking care of the body.

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
