A compilation of beats that came about because of a production challenge.

In New Orleans, Louisiana where Alxander lives. There is a record store called Nola Mix records that Alxander frequents. One of the reasons he frequents this store is because of a $10 for 10 records mystery bag that is offered there.

Well Alxander decided to challenge himself to create 10 beats with each beat using at least one sample from each record in the most recent mystery bag he purchased. 

This is what came of that challenge, Alxander was able to skillfully use sampling techniques to create a sonic snap shot of his life.

Each beat tells a story or express an emotion, and is best listened from first to last. As the arrangement was made to tell a story. However each beat while having Alxander's distinct sound still can be easily enjoyed by itself.

While Alxander continues to come into his own, striving to refine and define his unique sonic imprint. This Mystery Pack offers a giant step in this direction.

"I hope you enjoy this sonic journal entry"

With Love,
Alxander the Great

Grateful

This project doesn't aim to glorify suffering but instead to give it space, to breathe and transform into something honest and unfiltered. It’s the sound of survival — not loud or triumphant, but real, raw, and necessary. From late-night thoughts turned to melodies, to the inner monologues that carry us through — this is me

[Intro – Whisper]
I don’t know what I am... | 自分が何か分からない…
I don’t know who I am... | 自分が誰か分からない…
but I don’t think... | でもたぶん…
I want to know. | 知りたくない。


---

[Verse 1]
Voices crawling in my head again | 頭の中でまた声が囁く
Flashing colors melt into pretend | 偽物みたいな色が滲む
Did you say something or did I blink? | 君が何か言った？ それとも瞬き？
Am I just pixels inside a dream? | 僕はただの夢の中のピクセル？

My hands feel real but they fade away | この手は確かにあるのに消えてく
Like smoke that laughs and slips astray | 煙のように笑って逃げてく
You stare at me with hollow eyes | 虚ろな瞳で僕を見てる君
But you’re me—just wearing a better disguise. | でもそれって僕自身の仮面じゃないか


---

[Chorus]
I’m a glitch in my own reflection | 鏡の中にひび割れたノイズ
Looping lines in every direction | 無限ループの自己欺瞞
"I’m fine," I lie, and smile like glass | 「大丈夫」って、ガラスみたいに笑う
Break me slow, make it last | 壊れるなら、ゆっくりがいい
I don’t know what I am | 自分が何か分からない
I don’t know who I am | 自分が誰か分からない
But I don’t think I want to know... | でもきっと、知りたくない…
No, I don’t think I want to know. | いや、知りたくない。


---
[Verse 2]
I tried to scream, but silence sang | 叫ぼうとしても、静寂が歌う
A lullaby of static rang | ノイズの子守唄が響く
"Hey, are you okay?" you ask so sweet— | 「大丈夫？」って優しい声
But your mouth doesn’t move, and my heart skips beat | でも唇は動かず、心臓が跳ねる

I pour myself into a thousand masks | 仮面を何千枚も被ってみた
None of them answer when I ask | どれに聞いても返事はない
Who’s behind the curtain’s breath? | そのカーテンの奥に誰がいる？
Is it rebirth or just soft death? | それは再生？ それとも…静かな終わり？


---

[Chorus]
I’m a glitch in my own reflection | 鏡の中でバグった存在
Looping lies with no correction | 修正できないループの正体
"I’m here," I hum, but feel like fog | 「ここにいる」って呟いても霧みたい
Lost in limbs that don’t belong | この体、誰のだったっけ？
I don’t know what I am | 自分が何か分からない
I don’t know who I am | 自分が誰か分からない
But I don’t think I want to know... | でもきっと、知りたくない…
No, I don’t think I want to know. | いや、知りたくない。

[Bridge – Descending Into Madness]
I’m you... you’re not me... | 僕は…君？ 君は…僕？
What if I’m the echo, not the scream? | もし叫びじゃなくてエコーだったら？
Peel back the skin—there’s nothing beneath | 皮を剥いでも、下に何もない
Is identity just make-believe? | 「自分」なんて、ただの幻？

Am I lost or just set free? | 僕は迷ってるの？ それとも自由？
From names, from shame, from gravity... | 名前も、恥も、重力さえも消えた
I laugh but it sounds like crying | 笑ってるのに涙が出る
Am I alive or just... denying? | 生きてる？ それとも、ただ…否定してる？


---

[Final Chorus – Chaos]
I’m a glitch, I’m a god, I’m a ghost in the code | バグった神か、ただのゴーストか
I’m a lie, I’m a joke, I’m the voice that explodes | 嘘の中で爆ぜる声
I don’t know what I am (I don’t know) | 自分が何か分からない（分からない）
I don’t know who I am (I don’t know) | 自分が誰か分からない（分からない）
But I don’t— | でも、
I don’t— | でも、
I don’t think I want to—know—(NO!) | 知りたくない——（やだ！）


---

[Breakdown – Screams / Whisper / Noise]
Stop talking to me. | 黙れよ。
Why are you still here? | まだそこにいるのか？
Who am I? Who am I? | 誰なんだよ、誰だよ…
WHO—ARE—YOU? | オマエは、ダレ？


---

[Outro – Static Whisper]
...I think I forgot... | …忘れちゃったみたいだ…
...what I wanted to know. | …知りたかったことも。
