Joe Hisaishi is all I listen to when I need some peace, pause, and pianos. But I'm a lyric type of guy so I end up freestylin to all his piano melodies (imagine sitting next to me in a piano recital that would be F'd). I recorded this tantrum of rhymes! 

Verse over 'Joe Hisaishi' Kid's Return

Man this beat is SMOOTH as a babys bottom slidin down a pool slide. Hmm. Neways, I just spit a rap to this, something about pirating cds, pirating clothes, counterfeit tvs, counterfeit everything -all of that. I pretty much wrote this while I was in CHINA haha, Lai! Lai!

Pirate List (over a G-unit beat)

Man this is old as well, this was last year just after the Japanese tsunami. We raised donations ($76k) to give out to people in Japan hence the line (my people dying in tsunamis / we raised 76k, next we gone raise an army). Oh and btw yes I tried rapping some of my rhymes in Japanese. Feels great when people are like 'yea it sounds good because i dont know WTF he's talking about' cheers

Kanye West 'Power' Remix

Haaaaaa, me and Kwiz decided to do an Otis remix, right after that Tan bloke got elected for president of singapore (elections are a joke in SG though). I took a different writing approach to this, like I'd go in the mic booth and rap a few lines, then make a few more, record, and so on..so I'm half freestylin this shit. It was fun..neway we killed it

Otis Remix (Monkey King x Kwizyne)

I wrote this while waiting in the car while my mate was visiting his gf, I was just thinking about growth, and how we all got different stages of our life. When you try and move up to another level, you get the jitters, you want the comfort zone back, you can't hear or feel what's in store for you if you moved up. So I kinda thought it's like a piano, when you have to learn how to play and move from octave to octave..Just a ramble I know, but I like this shit it's smooth. Sip a cup of coffee in the morning to this
