https://musiciselation.bandcamp.com/track/i-dont-owe-ya-deep-remix

DeeP. got the vocals stems to "I Don't Owe Ya" from Bitzone and surprised me with this ultra fresh remix. It was a real honor and surprise that he would do this. 

DeeP. also worked with Bitzone and Stone Catcherye  to do this dope electro funk remix of "Deeper" 

https://soundcloud.com/bitzone/deeper

Huge thanks to DeeP. for initiating these projects. 

I think for 2019 I want to focus on some albums with a more consistent sound. I think it would be really cool to work with Bitzone and DeeP., along with some additional other collaborators on full album of similar tracks. 

Happy New Year 2019 all! I wish you all lots of good health, fine community, mega prosperity, huge success, good times, and awesome music!

Lyrics: 

I’m sick of this world
I’m quick to unfurl
I light up the wick
And picture myself 
In the underworld

There’s many ways to die 
And I give ‘em a try
Each time that I lie
And close up my eyes 
Kapow 
Bak bak

Nobody cares
No one hears my prayers 
All I bear is unfair
I swear that I’ll tear
Your hair out if you speak 
Shut the fuck up

It ain’t just my fault
How I’m under assault 
Blaming is your default 
You pour salt on mistakes 
To try and validate
Your perceived superiority

A piece of advice
And you move on with you life 
I don’t owe ya
A thanks
I don’t owe ya

Get me to see 
My responsibility 
I don’t owe ya
A sorry
I don’t owe ya

This is my demise
Don’t tell me bout my life 
I don’t care if you think 
That you care
I’m aware
That I’m a fuck up

This is how my dream dies 
Don’t tell me to realize 
Who I am 
Cause you think that I am
Someone
That’s not a fuck up

Cause I am fuck up just a fuck up
I am fuck up
A real fuck

Telling me to shut up 
Always telling me to shut up

I am always trying to be more neutral and nonjudgemental in my experiences of myself and others. 

Just so you all know, I am healthy, happy, and doing well. Life is good for me. I am very blessed. 

Sending nonjudgemental listening and witnessing out into the world. 

Big thanks to DeeP for passionately inviting me to join in on another project and choosing the perfect beat for me to channel the shadow muses. Huge thanks to Russ for laying down the cool experimental guitar work and taking a break from mixing and mastering duties.

Lyrics:

She was found alone dead in her bed
27 years and already dead
He went and took one straight to the head
And it took 3 days before any knew he was dead
She was introverted 
Lived reclusive
Took the path of seclusion to her conclusion
After leaving prison  
An impoverished condition was the state he lived in
Without any of his friends and fans in the ending

In the ending
In the ending
In the ending 

Without anyone around in the ending 
Without anyone to love in the ending
Without anyone who cares in the ending
Without anyone with prayers in the ending

I’m thinkin’ a popping the pills again, again
I’m fixin’ ta shoot up my veins again, again
I’m drinkin’ away my will again, again
I’m sinkin’ into a hole again, 
Wastin’ my life on a dream that always pending
Hating everything that I waste all my time making 
Who am I kidding I’m nothing I’m just pretending 
Everyday digging my self a little bit closer to the ending
 
There were moments when the pain went away
When the weight of life didn’t seem to weigh
Fleeting moment suggesting to stay  
While the rest of life was pushing towards dismay  
Feeling hopeless
With misguided purpose
Constant pursuing with nothing ever accruing 
Is just worthless 
What’s the meaning of being around others when
Others are really only attending to mending their own feelings in the ending    

I don’t care, I don’t really care, I don’t give a fuck, I don’t give a damn, 
I don’t give a shit

DeeP., Russell Sinfield & the Couch King - Without Anyone (In The Ending)

This song is part of a bigger project. I really like making sets like “The Couch King Sofa Barn” and “The Horror Host” but they take a long time to make and I don’t think SoundCloud loves the long song format. A number of us are almost finished with another song in this project. I am excited to hear how the whole thing turns out. Massive thanks to everyone presently involved and all my future collaborators in these crazy visions. I hope everyone is having fun on the cloud. I feel like this can be a very fun time for the SoundCloud community as we have all matured and know ourselves in relation to music better. 

This song got started when another rapper first asked me to collaborate with him. He sent me a beat, but I tend to want to focus on original music from our community so I asked Joerxworx if he wanted to work on a beat with only horns in a New Orleans marching funeral band style. Joerxworx agreed and provided me with massive horns to work with! The other rapper was no longer interested by now in working with me so I asked Jon Lock if he wanted to join in and fortunately he agreed, cause I love his funky soulful vocal stylings! Russell did an amazing job mixing and mastering my sloppy drums and the rest of the track to perfection. I was also very fortunate that Wou-Wou & the Wormling was willing to collaborate on art work for this track, fully completing the spirit of community collaboration!

Everyone in our SoundCloud community rocks, don’t you think?!?!

Lyrics:

More slay
Wack MCs are getting slashed 
It ain’t easy being wack these days 
Ya get gnashed 
Lyrically grinded up 
Like left overs you get trashed 
I’m Hannibal lector on the mic 
While your rhymes are just ruff and ashy I be like
It puts lotion on its rhymes or else it gets the hose again
Then you get skinned with the precision of my pen 
Call me wolf and you play the hen 
When your all cooped up and shut in by major trends
I’m feral 
Escaped into the underground   
Where all ill MCs and beat makers find their proving ground
I don’t want to rap 
Without any scars
I don’t want to rap if can’t chop through the bars before 
Going out like ronin for the culture that’s been stolen 
Bandit pillaging MCs take heed 
To the master lyricism swordsmen  
 
Oh
I’ll make your heart go faint
Think your resistant until you aint
Close your eyes, move your feet
Here comes the rapture
I am your man
Close your mouth and drop your plan
There’s no need to fake it
Big daddy’s gonna make ya
Dance, twist and shout
Pull up those pants and take you out 
poetry and word play
Take you to the dance floor
Place my hand on the small of your back
I give you a joke and take a smack 
Sit your ass down and eat your snack
Marvel at the verbal fancy footwork 

We came to train to take back the reign from the wack  
We came to hone our skills on a ill horn track
We came to bring the reals and show the people what they lack
All wack MCs you best watch your backs
We bring the rhymes 
And we bring the beats 
And we bring good times
Cause we bring the heat
And we bring the noise 
Yea we bring the noise 
Lets all make some noise 
Lets all make some noise 
Come on 
Make, make some noise 
Let’s all
Make, make some noise 
Everybody
Make some noise
Make some noise

Joerxworx, Jon Lock, Russell Sinfield & the Couch King - Training Day

Big Stepper

I think this track started 2 years ago. I remember talking about the vision with Jamie on the phone and then Jamie sent me a bunch of stems to choose from. I chose the standing bass and recorded my verse with a 90’s vibe in mind. I sent the track over to Russell to add some guitars, he sent that funk rock intro and riff back, and then I don’t know what happened after that? A bunch of other songs got made and the vision for this track expanded to include cutting my second verse and bringing Jon Lock in on vocals. Then the song sat again. Jon and I even started and completed And So You Say and Training Day after we had already got this song started. Since this track was visioned to be part of the first song on the set with Training Day, eventually it had to be completed. Wou-Wou then join in with his synths, rhythm guitar over Jon’s part, and some additional guitar over the first section. This gave the track the final fire it needed and Russell mixed and mastered it like a champ!

As always, massive thanks to Wou-Wou and Russell who have been regular collaborators on so many projects, on SoundCloud, Facebook, and Bandcamp. Wou and Russell will always be the core of my musical team. Thanks for being great friends! 
Big thanks also to Jon, who I have worked with on 3 songs now, with 2 more in the works already! 
And thanks to Jamie for all his patience, support, and for the completion of our second project together!   

This song goes out to all the music nerds, appreciators, and lovers with strong opinions. Keep those conversations going. I spent many, many years, going to the record store several times a week, hanging and talking with the staff, some who became good friends.

Lyrics 

Everything changes 
Nothing stays the same 
I used to hate it when my people would say it's a shame 
Stating that the games gone lame 
Claiming that today the music is wack 
At times I would refrain and take a step back
But most of the time I would counter attack 
Back in the day, we would say, Clever repartee 
When we were clowning around 
But now a days we taking the things a bit more serious 
Or maybe it's just me, see 
I ain't playing around as much as I used to be 
Conversations at a minimal 
It's not that I'm more critical or cynical 
It's that I am a more apathetic individual
I  just don't care 
Call me hypocritical 
I be like that's fair 
Yo
What happened to all the innovators, rhyme slayers, originality generators
You know
There really all still there
Back in the days we had to dig in the crates
Looking for the lessor known greats
I guess that's still the way it operates 
Hates a narrow minded state 
And It take effort to educate
So 
I’ma stay open and keep on diggin’ 
Vibin' on the sounds that I be hearin’ 
Yea 
And you know it's like that 
And you know and you know and you know it's like that 
Keep keep on, keep keep on
keep keep keep on

And you know it’s like that

Here comes the backup plan
The man without a name
Don’t want to be no star
Just musical acclaim 
Brush back those famous hats like children in the street
I’m gonna sing a bit while Couch King cracks the beat
Whoa baby now shake
Like momma told you now
Whoa baby now shake
Like this was made for
This is a slice of funk
USDA prime
Let it get to your head
You will feel fine
Poetry in motion
Images in time
Back beats and refined commotion 
Aged like fine wine 

Any you know it’s like that

There are so many great musicians on SoundCloud, I wish I could make music with everyone of you. I often reflect on all the great music you have all made, how we are constantly making new songs (because that is what artist do), and how many of our great creations can easily get forgotten. Most of our songs don’t get a chance to live like those songs that get repeated on the radio. And while many of us probably don’t like mainstream radio, many of us would probably like our best songs to have a bigger life, or at least shine a little brighter and be remembered a little longer. As a way to breathe additional air into one of our community members older music, I selected 5 tracks from Hot Os discography and remixed them to make “Twenty Twelve”

Humongous thanks to Hot Os for letting me select and edit 5 prime beats as well as raid his Instagram account for Zine images. Massive thanks to Janine Levinson and Jay Walker Black for dropping those hot guest vocals. And a giant thanks to Caedmon Rigby for all his time and creative energy mixing and mastering “Twenty Twelve” to make it sound so original, so professional, so fresh, and so clean!!! I love working with you all! Part of what makes collaborating so worthwhile is spending creative time with your friends.

DeeP. and the Couch King EP collectable stickers and zine available on Bandcamp here:
https://musiciselation.bandcamp.com/album/deep-and-the-couch-king

This is the second song that DeeP. and I began together. I really enjoy working on these darker tracks with DeeP. and exploring themes of depression, anxiety, fear, and shame. This song was inspired by a person that I was working with who would call me evil whenever he saw me. Even with me being as positive and non judgmental as possible, I am sure I was seen as another person telling him what to do and making decisions for him based on judgmental criteria. I think these are feelings many of us have had and it can be easy to relate to, though difficult to confront. 

I am grateful that we always have an opportunity to grow, learn, reflect, and evolve as individuals, communities, nations, and as a species. May we all be better to each other. 

Giant thanks to DeeP. for working with me on this track. And huge thanks to Nick for joining me on this first track together. I have long enjoyed and felt inspired by Nick’s creative and experimental guitar work and musicianship. I am super glad to have his vibe on this track!

Lyrics:

You’re never gonna make it
You’re dumb and you know it
You’re just a mistake kid
Don’t belong and you show it
Why you even trying
This ain’t meant for you kid
I already know that your lying
We already know that you did it
They know your planning on taking it
And gonna try to deny it
Why even try to fight it 
That’s just the way life is
You’re never gonna change it
You must be deranged if you
Think anything will be different 
If you get outta here shit
You’ll still be the same kid
Just a little punk kid
Look what you done did
When you got mad then you run hid
Don’t ever listen 
To what people are saying kid
Better watch your language 
Always talking trash
Claiming disadvantage 
You and me we clash
Why can’t you manage 
Come off way too brash
I can tell that you’re damaged 
Parents shoulda whooped your ass
Who you think you talking to
Always talking back 
I know all about you ’n
Your side of the track
Don’t question me 
Look at me 
When you hear me speaking 
Think you know everything
Really know nothing
Parent’s got nothing 
Apparent your fronting 
Looking confronting 
That’s why I ain’t trusting 
Homelife disgustin’
Cop frequently busting  
No wonder you like that 
Your really screwed up kid

Disdain disgust despite distrust 
Dismissed deprived derided and cussed
Disparaged, defied, despised when discussed
Detested, depreciated, decried, and hushed

Oh, here comes the demon again
And he’s wearing his crown
Here comes the devil again 
Pretending to be your friend
In an invisible gown

You are so worthless
Won’t amount to anything 
Going through life purposeless 
There’s nothing you bring
Your just an embarrassment 
You show no respect 
Always been a disappointment 
All you touched is wrecked 
Where’s your self-esteem kid
Where’s your sense of pride did
You think can get by with
Living on a free ride shit
Better watch where your going
I can tell you don’t give a damn 
Nor care to understand 
Perspective other than 
The one that your knowing 
Don’t give a shit 
Always so negative
Quick to give up 
Can’t contro ya temper 
About to blow up
I can tell that your stuck 
Ain’t gonna change  
It’s time that you face it
Never act your age
Your impulsive ’n impatient
Look at your rage 
Can’t have a conversation
Should put you in a cage
Before you fuckup again Kid

Disgraced, degraded, deplored, dominated 
Diminish, demeaned, defamed, humiliated 
Discredited, devalued, denounced, subjugated
Denied, debased, detained, incarcerated  

Oh, here comes the devil again
And he’s wearing his crown
Here comes the devil again 
Pretending to be your friend
In an invisible gown

This is the 3rd original song that DeeP. and I worked on together. I really appreciate his experimental yet accessible dark and soulful production work. I like how his music allows me to touch on topics that I normally wouldn’t write about if I were leading the music production. I have been reflecting on how it is important to stretch and grow and try new things. DeeP.’s music really helps me to achieve this goal and his mixing and mastering really brings out the best in me. 

I wanted this song to fit in thematically with the other 2 songs we worked on but I felt the music wanted me to expand the range of subject matter. Therefore, I went gothic and took my cues from gothic literature, such as The Castle of Otranto and Frankenstein, and tried to channel those literary elements into a pop song. For the subject matter I was also reflecting on how psychic connections and empathy can be draining unless one develops and maintains skills to remain grounded and whole. 

It is so fun to make music with musicians one admires. SoundCloud is the best place to be a fan. Both Phil McWalter and Nathalie B20 are SoundCloud legends and incredibly talented and prolific musicians who I have listened to for years now. I feel super honored to have finally gotten the chance to make music with these giants. I hope they had fun as well!!!

Lyrics

I’m loosing my self 
You’re sucking me out
I was having my doubts
But you casted them out 
Now I’m devout without will to walkout 
Somehow you got me

Every time I think a you 
I get linked up with you 
And then I’m tangled up in your mind 
Can’t go a week with you 
Before I think were through 
Because I’m going straight out of my mind
Try not to let it
Don’t let it
Get to me
Your consuming all my energy 
Don’t call me gothic
Though I believe I got bit
You sucked all the life outta me

How naive was I to begin with
Thin skinned and an optimist 
Going all in a romanticist
Fool hearted on destiny’s myth 
Still in the grips of youthful bliss
You knew I could be possessed by just one kiss
Cupid’s potion’s in spit
Oh how I wished I could take just one more sip
One more hit 
All the more craved by the way you withheld it
Blood from bit lips 
Lust in wet drips 
Pulsating of molded hips 
Through the veil of lunar eclipse 
There’s a pirate on one of those passing ships

Entangled in your clutches of guilt 
Such is the life anguish built 
Enchanted to hear the lilt of your final
Siren song once again 
There’s a little death in your bite of venom
Pandora’s box in your denim  
The sting of lies that become truths if you let ‘em
Any wrongdoings you sleuth 
I can never forget ‘em
Bound to my faults 
Wounds ’n deep salts
Trapped in this waltz
Every step out of time 
You’re makin’ sure I regret ‘em 
Through the veil of lunar eclipse 
You cast your net and I got caught in ’em

Roddy Ricch

Dream Hitz!
