BLUE EYED GRASS is a hip-hop sample flip beat tape by Lex Colton. BLUE EYED GRASS samples a diverse range of samples from across the world that are over 50 years old. All sample flips are played by hand, chopped, edited, and curated by Lex Colton through hundreds of hours of listening to music from across the world. It is uplifting, energetic, and a fun listen to toss on during a walk, in the car, at the beach with friends, or a workout. BLUE EYED GRASS is inspired by MF DOOM's 'Special Herbs' beat tape instrumentals. The deluxe version of the beat tape is available for purchase on physical version (lexcolton.com) or Bandcamp.

You press hard on my chest
And trap my thoughts inside this heavy glass
Where sirens paint the night in bruised red
And ceilings bending inwards

I need this swollen bubble to burst
No gold is worth the breath it steals from us
I will not feast where empty hands bleed
I choose to starve before I take their share

Grey mornings stain my eyes
Breathing in smoke from every crooked trade done
The city grinds its teeth around my skull tight
No daylight getting in

I need this swollen bubble to burst
No gold is worth the breath it steals from us
I will not feast where empty hands bleed
I choose to starve before I take their share

Harsh echoes drill behind my eyes deep
Too wired to sleep inside this tight sphere
Each passing hour stretches thin and threatens
The skin of all the lies that keep us closed

When screens glow like gods above streets
Trains scream through empty nights late
While glass towers drink light from all slums
And neon halos crown the ones who took
I will not lift my hands to praise that
I keep my hunger clean outside their feast
I hold my ground while others sell breath
I walk away before I taste that blood

This swollen bubble

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.
