Shipping in the dopest potent, Ronald Oregano
I am at this rager, I am not your savior
If it’s for the paper, I’m on my best behavior,
Rolling through the hot imports,
I grew a couple worry worts,
So hot my shop is sweating thirst
Entreuprenial overworked
But I kept it moving when I’m well rehearsed,
1000 words on my leaves like I’m Eddie Murph,
California breeze running steady burn,
Leave no stoner unturned
Some things are never learned,
Well versed from the intro to precipice,
Drop a little bit of shake, deciduous,
In the fall get a little bit adventurous,
What digits is it measured in?

No lye my time isn’t Nathan
No lye my kind isn’t staying
No lye bye bye destination
So high unwind respiration 
No lye my time isn’t Nathan
No lye my kind isn’t staying
No lye bye bye destination
So high unwind respiration

Ima bury you in fresh dried laundry,
That’s the kinda warth always surrounds me,
They making green gold when they put the time in it,
In it for the Love have to put a rhyme in it,
Last call time that’s not my limit,
Fast ball right side then I’d hit it,
That’s not my kind of style pimping,
I’m one Jaguar not 5 crickets,
Practical, poised, not toyed my a nymph,
L E on me guess Ima SIMP,
Played run around astro Jen,
We on the turf from the stuck mode bin,
Picture me on the tug boat brim,
Party boat cause the bus pulled in,
Great escape on the front row rowing,
Getting paid for my tape Hulk Hogie,

No lye my time isn’t Nathan
No lye my kind isn’t staying
No lye bye bye destination
So high unwind respiration 
No lye my time isn’t Nathan
No lye my kind isn’t staying
No lye bye bye destination
So high unwind respiration

Every Drop Counts.

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.
