BBE Music celebrates its 25th year of Barely Breaking Even with 'Staff Selections 2021', a bumper pack of musical highlights from the last 12 months, as chosen by the label team themselves.

In another year dominated by uncertainty, crippling manufacturing delays and a global shipping crisis, BBE Music has managed to get a surprising amount of music out into the world during 2021, even if none of the staff are entirely sure exactly how they did it.

The last year has seen multiple reissues in DJ Amir's continued exploration of Detroit's iconic Strata Records, a benchmark 20th anniversary box set and book celebrating J Dilla's 'Welcome 2 Detroit', acclaimed David Bowie tribute album 'Modern Love', more contemporary Afro-centric cuts on BBE's sister label Batakari Music, and fresh original material from MF Robots, Sean Khan and Sons of the Sun.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this selection of almost 40 tracks, featuring an exclusive reimagining of Beatchild and Justin Nozuka's 'The Only Difference' crafted by BBE artist and staffer, Sumsuch.

We wouldn't still be here after 25 years if it wasn't for your support and encouragement, so we'd like to extend our eternal thanks to you all, whether you've bought a record, attended a gig or streamed a song of ours over the last quarter century. You're a vital part of the BBE story and we look forward to journeying on with you, into 2022 and beyond.

Stay safe, and thank you all once again, from all of us.

Not Your Per No More

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
You want me on your lap
And you want me to obey
You want me on your bed
But all you do, 
is take a nap

[verse]
What the hell is going on
I'm not your little pet
You know women have the power
I'm not your damn chihuahua

[prechorus]
One day I'll walk away 
I won't take this shit from you
You better mind the things you say
Or you may not get to play

[chorus]
You talk to me like I'm your dog
You talk in baby talk
I'm gonna tell you one more time
I really do know how to walk

[instrumental]

[verse]
What was it that you said?
You want me to make the bed?
You're the one who made the mess
You must be out of your head

[verse]
From now on I make the rules
I'm tired of dealing with you
I am tired of all you fools
You are going back to school

[prechorus]
One day I'll walk away 
I won't take this shit from you
You better mind the things you say
Or you may not get to play

[chorus]
You talk to me like I'm your dog
You talk in baby talk
I'm gonna tell you one more time
I really do know how to walk

[instrumental]

[verse]
You better pick up all your stuff
And take it out of here
You are heading for the door
I don't want to see you near

[verse]
This time was the last time
You know what you've been doing
You know that it's a crime
You'll soon be doing time

[prechorus]
One day I'll walk away 
I won't take this shit from you
You better mind the things you say
Or you may not get to play

[chorus]
You talk to me like I'm your dog
You talk in baby talk
I'm gonna tell you one more time
I really do know how to walk

Bye bye, bye bye
For you I sure won't cry
Yes officer, that's him
No I don't wanna say goodbye

Bye bye, bye bye

For you I sure won't cry

Yes officer, that's him
No I don't wanna say goodbye

Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye
For you I sure won't cry

Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
For you I sure won't cry

Think on Something New

We are extremely proud to present the first single to our forthcoming compilation, KEATS//COLLECTIVE Volume 6.

We've been doing these compilations for a while now (since 2012) and have had the opportunity to work with a ton of fantastic artists over that period of time. 
Vanilla is one of those fantastic artists. 
He has kindly submitted a song for every KC compilation since KC vol 2, and we couldn't be happier about it. 

Volume 6 drops 12/11 at keatscollective.bandcamp.com for FREE. 
Stay tuned for more teasers and singles.

Lyrics:
The funk is here to stay
I’ll toast to that
It’s the Tuxedo way
I’ll toast to that

Party people here with us
I’ll toast to that
Take your cup and raise it up
I’ll toast to that

Dust your shoulders off and let your hair down
We’re gonna celebrate tonight
Everyone
I’ll toast to that

Feels like a holiday
I’ll toast to that
We’ll dance the night away
I’ll toast to that

Party people here with us
I’ll toast to that
Take your cup and raise it up
I’ll toast to that

If you’re rollin’ with the Tuxedo sound
We’re gonna celebrate tonight
Everyone

Move your feet and have a ball
Don’t be holding up the wall like a vegetable
Celebrating ‘til the dawn
I’ve been waiting all week long just to let it go

Welcome to the official Tuxedo Channel. Tuxedo is Grammy nominated renaissance man Mayer Hawthorne (Aquarius) and Grammy nominated producer Jake One (Taurus). They mysteriously showed up on Internet doorsteps in 2013. In between Mayer's solo albums, and Jake's productions for Drake, The Weeknd, J. Cole, etc., Tuxedo released their debut album and quickly became a world of its own.

Lyrics:
My body’s burning up
It’s hot in here
And all this groovin’ is removin’ all my fears
My vision’s blurring up
Can’t see too clear
And now this PYT is whispering in my ear

All my friends think I should go home
And I don’t know what I did with my phone
Should have left that last one alone
And I know

But I’m on a good one
And I might do something wild tonight
Yeah I’m on a good one
And I’m feeling alright

I’m out here on the floor
They’re playing my song
It feels so right I don’t know how it could be wrong
I can’t take any more
It’s way too strong
I’m at my limit
I’ve been spending all night long

All my friends think I should go home
And I don’t know what I did with my phone
Should have left that last one alone
And I know

But I’m on a good one
And I might do something wild tonight
Yeah I’m on a good one
And I’m feeling alright

Good one tonight
Living my life
Good one tonight
Living my life
Living the good life

Fool For You Lyrics:

Verse 1

Slim dude I can put ya in the mood
Cuttin' like a butcher with the shoes
I like her 'cause she tend to talk rude
No attitude she just not fuckin' with you
I getcha thinkin' freaky in a few
Btw you ain’t never seen a view
Like the one me and my crew go (to)
She said I could bring a friend or two no?
Oo definitely
I feel like we got sexual telepathy
I like the way we came and got it separately
And every way we mixing up the recipe
The energy upper echelon
It’s gon’ be the death of me

Chorus
I'm a fool for you
Whenever you want it
Imma do it for you
Just call my name girl
I'm a fool for you
Anything that you need
Imma do it for you
Just call my name

Verse 2
I got a shawty she a gift wrap 
I get her when she want a present
She a gift wrap 
I'm a fiend for her loving 
And I need that 
You don't even have to leave the one you wit'
I ain’t trippin' imma take what I can get 
You been going through some things (eh)
And you don’t need that
I gotta alleviate the pain she a peng ting (painting)
I’m just rambling what I’m really saying is

Chorus
I'm a fool for you
Whenever you want it
Imma do it for you
Just call my name girl
I'm a fool for you
Anything that you need
Imma do it for you
Just call my name

Verse 3
Girl you on the scene like a meme
Shake it like a dream
Got me wondering what’s your venus
I ain’t gon' lie to you lady i’m a genius
I ain’t always out here tryna holler like a fiend is
But you can prolly figure I’m the cleanest
If you can figure what the angle of my lean is
See I rose from the ash like a phoenix
Now I be walking round London like the queen is

Chorus
I'm a fool for you
Whenever you want it
Imma do it for you
Just call my name girl
I'm a fool for you
Anything that you need
Imma do it for you
Just call my name
