“The Privileged Martyr” is an unapologetic return from Cellus Hamilton — his first release since Valentine’s Day — produced alongside Chicago’s own Von Vuai. Built on a soulful sample of SWV’s “Rain,” the track blends tenderness and tension, grief and defiance. Written in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Hamilton wrestles with how language, power, and pain collide in public and private faith.
The song doesn’t hand out answers — it asks dangerous questions. It exposes how words once meant to honor sacrifice can become distorted, co-opted, or weaponized. Over shimmering chords and melancholy drums, Cellus delivers a performance that feels like a lament, a warning, and a mirror all at once.
Raw, poetic, and layered with meaning, “The Privileged Martyr” dares listeners to confront what we call suffering, who gets to define it, and what it costs to tell the truth in an age of privilege and persecution.

The Echo Chamber is a haunting mirror held to the modern soul. The Echo Chamber drifts through neon reflections and digital rain, where every silence becomes another voice bouncing back in the dark. Built on deep 808 heartbeats and shimmering synth pulses, it feels both intimate and infinite. It is a slow head-nod in the quiet between chaos.

The vocals float like confession and memory intertwined. Smooth, emotive, and raw, surrounded by ghostly harmonies that rise like smoke. Each chorus feels like a dream collapsing into itself, every echo a thought you tried to forget.

This isn’t just a song. It’s a moment suspended somewhere between truth and denial, connection and collapse, the noise outside and the storm within.

Mood: late-night introspection • cinematic soul • digital melancholy

For fans of: The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, James Blake, SZA

“Now the sirens are a whisper, turning down my own driveway…
And I’m standing in the echo chamber I built yesterday.”

The song 'Purple Haze Dreams' by NeonViperX metaphorically describes the allure and escape provided by a substance, likened to a 'purple haze,' which brings a sense of euphoria and detachment from reality. Despite external warnings and judgments, the song portrays the speaker's deep connection to this substance as a means to navigate their inner struggles and find temporary solace in a hazy state of mind.

This song is inspired by a true story of a Mexican citizen I met who was incarcerated for 3 years without ever being charged, tried, or sentenced. Sadly, this is all too common in Mexico: "Four out of every 10 Mexicans currently behind bars have not been convicted of a crime, according to new official statistics that experts say show the depth of injustice in the country . . . Much of the issue stems from Mexico's use of mandatory pretrial detention, or prisión preventiva oficiosa, a no-bail system in which those accused of certain crimes such as burglary, fuel theft, kidnapping, or drug trafficking can be jailed without probable cause and held for years without trial." https://www.axios.com/2023/07/25/mexico-pretrial-detention-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador

For those listeners unfamiliar with Spanish, "Déjame ir" means "Let me go".

Lyrics: 
Ominous early morning knock on the door
Cops swarm in, pin him down on the floor
No reading of rights, just knocks ‘n’ deep bruises
Cascade of bad-mouthing, it scares and confuses
Tossed in a small cell, no hearing or trial
With five other inmates, not even a smile
A fist or a knife, a boot to the balls
For who or what is he taking this fall?      

Every day’s a nightmare straight outta Hell
The bad guys are devils, the good guys as well
If the sicho don’t getcha, a brutal guard will
So, you gotta stay quiet, you gotta stay still
In the showers come the men, there’s probably four
This time it’s the pretty boy pinned to the floor
A fist or a knife, a boot to the balls
For who or what is he taking this fall?

The chow’s pretty scarce, he gotta get more
Soul sold for the right to set up a store
Just to earn a few pesos to keep up his strength
When hunger grips, you go to any length
Every week they come round for a piece of the action
And if he falls short, there’s a harsh reaction
A fist or a knife, a boot to the balls
For who or what is he taking this fall?

Bridge
All he is seeking is peace of mind
Away from the fist, the boot and the knife
Peace of mind, yeah, peace of mind
And the chance to start a new life, start a new life, start a new life

Five years on, he’s still in the jail
No trial date announced, no chance to get bail
Five years lost, his wife and kids gone
No money to speak of, house sold for a song
His best mate’s been in for 15 years
Still awaiting a sentence, he still knows the fear
Of a fist or knife, a boot to the balls
And the question why did he take such a fall?      (Déjame ir x muchos)

The Fist, the Boot & the Knife

“Dancing in a War Zone” is an anthem for resilience — a love letter to those who protest with peace, color, and creativity.

Inspired by real scenes from cities like Portland and Chicago, the track captures the irony of joy amidst chaos — where costumes, laughter, and music become acts of defiance.
It’s protest art in motion — a celebration of unity, humor, and hope when the world feels divided.

Let’s keep dancing, even when the world’s on fire.
