Act I — THE AURA OF 3SKY, Scene II

Already in a complete bond with 3SKY, GOD solidifies her embodiment with 9KAI, MORE, and AMOUR as they all dance...

Ella solo quiere sentirse bien esta noche
Sentirse libre
Así que ven...
Baila conmigo

Here we go again

009

Put on ice
On ice, on ice
Hairs on my neck find GOD 
When we meet eye to eye
Different city, same me, yeah

All the things dead that I could’ve ask
I recreate it on the dance floor
I don’t mean to be bare minimum, no
I just wanna feel like this

I dance to free myself from the world
I dance to free myself from this curse
Yea, yea
Ah

I just freed myself from the world 
I just freed myself from the curse

Free me, stuck on ice

Just one night away, don’t take it away
Just cause I need space, dance with GOD, with me

I gotta move like this to free myself, yea, yea
I wanna move like this to free my cells, self
I gotta move like this to forgive my self
Do you feel me now?
I don’t want nobody to interject
Please don’t touch that space

Standing on the corner, on ice
Hairs on my neck find GOD 
Don’t bring me down
Cause dancing with no fear
Leaves something on this realm
Dance with GOD, with me

9KAI— “Uh, so you in love, dawg?”

3SKY— "Nah, see, I ain't say allathat. I mean, she cool and all. She, you know, did the thing, you know, do the thing, you know what I'm saying? But like, you know, I'm intentionally not falling in love fast like I usually do, you feel me? Like, I'm taking my time, feeling it out, just vibing. Just a vibe. We just vibing"

9KAI— "Mm, mmhmm, okay, word, well I definitely feel that. I'm just, I'm just glad to see you glowing, my G."

3SKY— "Glowing?? What? Chill, I ain't glowing, bruh"

9KAI— "Uh, yeah, glowing?"

Act IV — SOMETIMES SELFISHNESS BEGETS CLARITY, Scene II

Although reconnected with MORE, 3SKY is still in his raw era. After looking deeply into his heart, there's this higher level of confidence and clarity that he's working through. Transparent and focused on his true self. Still learning who that is. Why that is who it is. Learning to love who that is. Just slightly more aggressively.

Yeah
I'ma go off the Tropical, but you know, I'm really Sidereal
Vedic

Yeah
Uh, uh, uh,
Uh
Uh, uh, uh
Okay, okay, okay
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Everybody
You know I’m not everybody
Don’t play me like everybody

I know all yo' info by heart
Like yo' birth chart 
Yo' birthday
Yo' birth time
Yo' birth name
Yo' birth place
Yo' number, even though I don’t call
Gotta save face
Gotta play safe
Hella thangs changed
But still stay the same
And it’s harder to let go, I hold on
Made a playlist, had me simpin
All these songs just for remembrance
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Like H.E.R. straight spilling out them feelings I be feeling missing you
Daniel Caesar's out my speakers, got me reminiscing, ooo
I was thinking about them times when we was ganging, woopty woo
We was slime, sliding, riding
Ain’t about a thang, the way we move
Hella cut throat, gutta about our love, from the heart
Won’t no sucka n*gga ever gonna make us break apart
And it’s true, though
It was you, though
And it was me
We our own enemies
Got me saying

6DEEP, it’s for life, bae
She said swear you fronting, n*gga
That’s what everybody say
Okay

6DEEP, it’s a life thang
She said swear you fronting, n*gga

She said swear you fronting, n*gga
That’s what everybody say
You got it

Just cause she my maybe
Don’t mean that you won’t my baby
It won’t all just a lie
Blame it on the stars that made me
I’m a Pisces, so I’m sensitive
My Cancer moon be crazy
I be holding onto things that happened to me in the 80s
And I’m 28
I be loving hard, so I don’t fall in love, I rather date
Riding out with Alpha bottom bitches, say they rather pay
It ain’t a thang to me
I’m married to the money
And that just sound like the same to me
Aye, keep it p
We in polygamy
Apply that pressure to my mind
We just might be in legacy
But I’m bool 'bout it
Ice cold, 3SKY, I keep my heart, I’m cool about it
“She a baddie!” So what? I'm a baddie too 'bout it!
I want all the shmoke
With the cynicaaaal thotties
I talk all this ish
But I'm bound to foollld probably
10 toes high
But that Yoni got me
Yoni got me

6DEEP, it’s for life, bae
She said swear you fronting, n*gga
That’s what everybody say
Okay

Act V — BACK HOME, Scene II

More IHOP. 3SKY lets his truest emotions run free with MORE. "What does happiness look like for you?" You gotta be unhappy to know. He gives MORE an intimate and introspective peek into some crests and troughs he's been swimming through, as well as his epiphanies, vulgar truths, and all of the things. Sharing a clearer view of the past, present, and future that's being manifested.

CLOSING SCENE... AND THAT'S URGENT LIKE A MUTHA—

My GOD.

Viniendo en círculo completo
Cronometrándote a la velocidad de la luz
Amante universal
Unión sagrada
Sonando hacia el espacio del corazón
Dime, cariño, dime

There was a time
Tick, tick, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tock, tock
There was time
Tick, tick, tock, tock
There was time
Tick, tick, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tock, tock
Tick, tick, tock, tock

There was a time when the meaning of soulmates 
Had no place in my heart, it did not belong
Then God placed you on my path
I thought you as a barrier, but you were a blessing in disguise
The love I saw in you were the missing parts
The love I felt with you, the beginning of a new life
Pouring into each other’s cup was a choice and a sacrifice
The cultivation, the cultivation, cultivation
The cultivation of our love, like watering a garden
Pulling out the dead roots, facing each difficult season
That’s what made me fall in love with you, yeah
Said that's what made me fall in love with you
I thank you for seeing me when I couldn’t see myself
I thank you for helping me when I had no one else

A love like ours is no fairytale, it's real
A love like ours is no fairytale, it's real
It's real, it's real, it's real, it's real
I said it's real, ooo oh, real, so real
Said it's real, said it's real, said it's real like that

Through hell and high water, a journey of devotion
Each day, you showed me I could love without precaution
But even in the safety of your love, I felt lost, and I felt afraid
I felt afraid, I felt afraid
I had to learn that my happiness came from pouring into myself
Failing to water my garden led me towards a path of regret
And during those darkest times, you still held me with gentleness
Sweet as honey, so much gentleness
The truth about love is not written in books
There's no clear direction, no safety nets
It's like jumping into unknown waters, hoping not to drown
Instead of catching the sunset
It's being at the lowest, while searching for the light within yourself

It's understanding that no one belongs to you, for we are all one
Children of the Stars, gatekeepers of this realm
Love is the antidote, water turned into wine
Prayers answered from the Divine
Forgiveness living inside our hearts
True Love can never be selfish
Nature teaches us that, Nature teaches us that
And each season She bares fruit, and sheds at the same time
Love lives in the eyes of the broken
Those who continue to show vulnerability
Like pain never lived inside their hearts, and fell apart

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love
Love is the beginning, the purest feeling
The greatest teacher in life, greatest teacher in life
Greatest teacher in life, the greatest teacher in life
Greatest teacher in life
And I had to love myself, before I could fully receive
All the love you have for me, and love you right

Act III — THE PEAK BECOMES THE FALL...

Lack of communication built beautiful passion that ultimately burns out due to the same reason. Fatal attraction. As 3SKY goes into the kitchen, away from the chatter of the kickback, in order to talk with MORE, he floats in and out of trance and prayer with GOD about his connection with MORE. GOD shows up to him as MORE, so he can begin to open the way for clarity. Yet, when he's actually speaking to MORE, herself, they end up arguing about dating other people. This energy spills over into 9KAI and AMOUR's relationship and they argue back and forth, in circles. 9KAI and 3SKY are at odds because of the dissonance in everything that has to do with that night. Even the two ever-doting brothers are unable to have a decent convo...

Act IV — SOMETIMES SELFISHNESS BEGETS CLARITY, Scene I

3SKY and MORE take time away from each other for quite a while. 3SKY journeys through why he is the way that he is. GOD helps him reflect deeper. Learning himself. Loving himself. Trying to.

Free flow
Aw baby, this a free flow, uh
Yeah, this is just a free flow, uh

Journaling
My feels

She wanna leave me and I wanna let her too
She wanna leave me and I’m just gonna let her too
Seen her at our café, she parlay with this dude
She doesn’t see me and I don’t wanna block her view

I got a little ting, name I won’t say
She sweet me rude
I mean, so sweet I feel that she mek we decay di tooth
She doesn’t need me and that put me so over the moon
She’ll probably leave me and I’m just gonna
I'm just gonna be in

Pieces
They all commit treason
So scared to believe in
Faithful is deceiving

She said, “Look in the mirror. It’s you.”
I know it’s me, but I just don’t know where to begin.
They say it all happens in your youth, when you’re a kid.
I guess, divorce hits harder when prolonged for 30 years.
I’m wondering how loving someone long-term really feels.
Or better yet, how does it feel to really love myself?
Yeah, that’s it.

Lonely, lonely, lonely
Ooo baby, I'm so lonely, lonely, lonely
Nobody make my phone ring, phone ring, phone ring
I marry to my bed, we make a good team
Sleeping in til I can’t tell reality from dreams

Grieving you and grieving me
Or who I used to be
I’m really feeling joy because I'm healing through the pain
Sometimes the SKY gon' look like clouds but Sun comes out with rain
Said, the Sun comes out in

Pieces
Flow through the seasons
Take time to release it
Surrender to your feelings
What you feeling deep within
Deep, beneath it
The surface that is

Surrender to feeling

3SKY— “I won’t go so far as to say like, she’s the love of my life or whatever. I don’t know how things may have shifted or not, you know. It's been a minute, you know. We’ll have to see... I mean, I’ve changed, I’ve come into my own self worth, my own destiny"

9KAI— "No, but forreal"

3SKY— "I’m more emotionally intelligent, and I really am happy single, for once, you feel me? Who knows what’s going on for her, you feel me?”

9KAI— “True, but I mean...”

3SKY— “Yeah, I know what you mean" Chuckles. “I mean, she gon’ always have a very special place in my heart. I can't deny that”

9KAI— "That's a real thing" Laughs.

3SKY— “Wowww" Laughs. "Kai, guess who I just got a text from"

9KAI— "Tell me that's not her..."

3SKY— "Mannnn..."

9KAI— "That's her?"

DJ | Producer | Soul Provider | Matasuna Records | The FunkBro Show

Retro Roland Riso, has over 25 years of club experience behind the decks, with a true passion for all things funky, filled with soul and truly groovy.

As a toddler, he'd spend countless hours enjoying his parents' eclectic record cabinet; listening to artists such as The Beatles, Sergio Mendes, Sly & The Family Stone, The Turtles, Taj Mahal, even The Osmonds and Bay City Rollers.  Little did his folks realize, Roland snagged a few of those gems over the years to add to his impressive collection.  

While fully immersed in listening to music, he began learning piano at 6 years old, which inevitably launched his love to create and produce.

Once considered the "Hardest Working DJ in Philly", Retro Roland was spinning 5-6 residencies on a weekly basis, including a highly regarded internet radio show, "Sounds of The True School".  During his 4 year run, Mr. Riso's guests included Ursula Rucker, The Last Emperor, Rich Medina and Mpozi Tolbert.

He also ran a successful monthly Jazz and Soul Record Show, which was widely popular amongst record collectors, DJ's and producers, including Cash Money, Jazzy Jeff and Quest Love.

Riso also helped engineer Cozmic Cat's legendary Philadelphia party, "Groove Lounge", which brought musicians, vocalists and DJ's a platform to perform in united, rhythmic harmony, which featured a then unknown, Jill Scott.

As an URB Magazine mixtape runner-up, The Soul Provider has shared the bill with incredible performers, including Afrika Bambaataa, Felix Da Housecat, Dubtribe, King Britt, DJ Craze, Vikter Duplaix, house pioneer Robert Owens and the legendary Barbara Tucker.  He recently opened up for Grammy nominated artist, Flo-Rida.

A number of Retro's remixes are in regular rotation on The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show, featured on BBC Radio 6, with funk 45 releases on Matasuna Records.  Plus, Roland hosts a weekly music broadcast, The FunkBro Show, on RadioActiveFM.

Notorious for working the crowd and rocking the dance floor, Riso maximizes every opportunity to drop a funky "Retro Roland Riso" remix, morphing the room into a sweaty, swanky frenzy!
