La balade
Making this music for everyone to hear from the youth to the older generation. A smooth track to put everyone on the same level of understanding. Money, drug, violence aint the only thing Hip Hop bring to the table and whatever social class you come from there’s something to take from it for everyone. “Here’s my lyrics for my brothers and sisters, For the one who are scared and need some air, A little bit of peace who passes on a sound of bass and break beat, Drop the curtains, kiss even to the wrinkled people...”

Line of feeling
From the title, a line of feeling for a land of freedom. A big-up to music and my way of going into it. “There’s like a breeze who pass on my neck, There’s like an air who break the past and reflect it...”
We will never give-up for the music and its true flavour electronic as organic and mix it together forever. Styles have to live together for a better tomorrow of honest music not something only for the crowd but for the love of it too.

Petite braise (Little spark)

The track is about creativity, that everyone has this spark of creation which is delivered in a lot of different ways. Art aint something close, everyone can enjoy it and do it. In that way we all got to accept its different form of expression.
“We all have something to say, We all have a pause sometime to write it, With chalk or a permanent marker, On a line or in the void...”
Chorus: “Be rare like a little spark who makes a fire start, The art shots and i can see it in your eyes.”

Voyage

For the love of jazz. Initially called sorry Coltrane, this track is a cover of a jazz theme from Coltrane. From the past to the present, for a fat swing mixing jazz with a touch of electronic, Funk and Eastern European vibe. “Here’s the rendez-vous of the déja vu, it’s crazy how jazz makes you travel, light, the play of notes, from south to north, from east to west tell them that we will fly for life if we want to.”
The verse says basically that life seems to be alright under the jazz parasol and anyone can follow his path for some freedom.
