This is catchy, you did everything right.

Jump in with the Wizard of diction tell me how you feeling tell me how you living 
Make the night bright sunny like liston 
bout that night light turn me on listen 
Never to your problems only to solutions 
your voice soothes like therapeutic 
Sara smile then I made my impact go the extra mile for you like true dat 
Who has that cruise that smoke Rob? 
Past that catching ash like Pokemon 
Treadmill OK Go poquito 
Cool story though but do you even lift bro? 
Tommy Gunz bust no pistols 
Need a trainer then holler at Young swolls 
Wise guy forget about who you thinks cool 
Valencia plaid shirt you on hipsters Avenue 
Right near the beach dreads on thurgood 
Where I post cause I float no driftwood 
Showing love to everybody in your hood 
Cause I learned how to live life misunderstood 

Night Bright Ride by or hit my line 
Fast life I'm like you take your time 
Not talking just looking up in the sky 
There is money on my mind 
too much money on my mind 
Night Bright bout a dozen and she a dime 
Looks fine acts like love of your life 
Keeps talking without looking in your eyes 
There is money on her mind too much money on her mind 
Night Bright great minds they think alike 
Wiseguy feels fine to look alive 
Keep talking without looking in my eyes 
There is money on your mind too much money on your mind 

5 years they rested on my mouth piece 
Catching Z's like LT's ear rings 
Light Bright sign to say goodnight 
Stay awake till daybreak painting Mics 
First rap tape e40 federal 
Tangi 2 snatched her up like rope a dope 
I asked who she doing 
She said Nathan 
I said damn baby is it like that 
Free lunch but she gave your boy a light sack 
Give me a little something something for my cataract 
Shadow box only fight fight night Bright in the booth I go hard like Muay Thai 
Feeling fresh no stress bout perception looking at my pockets need an intervention 
I could catch what they throwing in thin air living that fast life but they going no where.

Nameless (feat. Kaef Black)

This project started over two years ago while I was archiving my music catalog on SoundCloud. A producer out of Italy reached out after hearing some of my work, and we began collaborating. Around that same time, my grandmother passed away. It was a heartbreaking loss, not only for me, but for my whole family.

I wanted to honor her with a song, so I took one of the beats I copped from Globeats and wrote a track with two of my brothers. One of the first sessions for this project took place in the cottage my folks had built for her to live in, out in Placerville. I recorded two tracks there, and from that weekend the entire Heyoka concept started to take shape.

During my stay, I had a jolted awakening, one of those moments that shakes you out of yourself. Out of nowhere, in the middle of summer, it rained. That mystical, unexpected storm was the spark that pushed me deeper into this project.

My grandmother was a Puerto Rican woman who spent much of her retirement in Arizona. She surrounded herself with Native American art and aesthetics, which probably explains my own fascination with those cultural forms and why they echo through my music. Still, in the midst of creating, I felt both sadness and a resurfacing disconnect from my own culture.

The rest of the songs were written and recorded back in San Francisco. But then life shifted. I put the project on hold to release my first LP and tour across the United States. Shortly after I returned, my other grandmother, the one I had cared for over 15 years, passed away. It was like reliving grief all over again. The project went on the back burner while I sorted through family affairs.

Then, at the start of this summer, inspiration struck again. I revisited the music, remixed and mastered all nine tracks, created the artwork, and finalized the project. Now, I am releasing it not only for others to listen to, but also as a dedication to my grandmothers and as a piece of cathartic closure to a large part of my life.
