... a prologue to '__INKUNZI ISEMATHOLENI - IINGOMA' ... 

..|| originally titled 'Fly Rhythm Machine Children' ... ingane zakwethu, NALEDI & VUSI of the Fly Machine Sessions, called upon us to put together a selection of songs for a boogie down they were throwing ... the year is 2014 ....

..|| having been on the journey yok'qongelela ulwazi ngomculo wakhithi since 2002/3, we felt it right & proper to share some of the vibrations at the invitation of fam duke ... 

---- "Everybody break bread, huddle around" - Ghostface Killah

... we'd been moving as RHYTHM EBONY CHILDREN [unlimited] for a while at this point, sibuthwa through tinhlolo yeNGOMA .... so we titled the presentation 'FLY RHYTHM MACHINE CHILDREN' in spirit of linking up with fam [Fly Machine Sessions]; sibeyimbumba ...

..|| we dedicated it to uBab' SHALUZA MAX who passed on earlier in that year - January of 2014 ..... uMNTAMBO omnyama omhlophe ngenhliziyo ubewumthombo omkhulu walendlela es'hamba kuyo - yok'jula ngesigqi saKwaNTU ... 

..|| we rename it now, the selection, to '__NGIMNYAMA NGINJE' after a song from a body of work yakhe uBab' SHALUZA, recorded before eyakwelamaTHONGO .... kwaba is'busiso kithi ukuba nethuba lokuzwa amaqampuqampu yemiyalelo nobuciko uNTETHE asishiya nayo ..... the work is yet to be released - sihlala ethembeni, uma INKOSI ivumile ngelinye ilanga bonke bohlanga bazowuzwa ... 

... thus we reposition the title .... ngoba ses'buyekeza .... silandelela umsuka .... the 'Fly Rhythm Machine Children' - Bamnyama Banje ....as we continue to reflect & forecast on the works of SHALUZA and others, with the clarion call - NGIMNYAMA NGINJE ...

..|| ses'phothula - siyaz'thoba, siyakhuleka kuwe NKOSI BHAMBATHA kaMANCINZA ZONDI  - Langa libomvu phuma sikothe, kade sikothela kude emafini ... asik'linganisa njalo noNHLANGOTHI ... kepha sijula ngemisebenzi yenu yokuba amavulandlela, amaqhawe, nilwela ubuNTU bethu ... yibani nathi, nis'nikeze is'bindi, uthando nomoya wokuz'nikela kulempi esikhungethe ... 

--- "...uyadlala ngexesha lakho, ibhokile ekaNONGQAWUZE .... sekumaxa..." - The Jazz Ministers

Igxathu

Supah Mpondo x Oudskul - Igxathu

More new music. This song was recorded in what has to be one of my most favourite sesions in a long time. The beat came about organically and easily. Ferno came through with the top shelf hotepary and Tony styled on us all. I think this may be the type of product you will be getting for the forseeable future just because it feels so good to make. I hope yall enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it

Lyrics:

godmind (prod. wun two & tuamie)

under the J tree deciding to find peace
designing my release thru verbosity on beats
channel my inner chi thru the earth under my feet
watching purple leaves free as they dancing in the gravity
serene scenes bringing out my inner peace
overthrowing the demonics that been growing in my domepiece
i don't sleep. live, dream, die, repeat.
and i wake up realizing it was all just a fantasy...
nearing insanity, succumbing to the vanity
that my mind has planned for me
can anybody stand for me?
the feeling's gradually gaining a tighter grasp of me
in fact, i'm actually half spirit and half analogy, but
that's an analogy, description of the man in me
and now the man in me, is demanding me to be fragile see,
and i can't, actually. 
my mind has been a broken piece,
waiting for my family to join me in the galaxies...

//

blunt reflectionz (prod. KEEM THE CIPHER)

stuck in a loop, a cycle where my mind slowly falters
even my knees down, hands up at the altar can't...
tell me what it is that i truly need
"who is he?",  mumbled under breaths by the shadows in my head
the humans of the light
the goons of the town 
and the ghouls of the night
still fathoming a life, where my only trife
is this that sounds wrong or this that sounds right
clear as ice
yellow stripes on the ceiling as i sit and lay
and conjure up a verse while my feelings on delay
feel like myself? guess i'm saving that for another day
let my thoughts mingle in the purgatory i create
i create versions of myself that i learn to hate,
learn to love, but the melancholy never dissipates
don't diss the plate given to me by the hands that make
these days all it takes is just a shake of the head,
a break from the bed, a skate to the store
or my phone staying dead
a little more love for a little less dread
then a spliff to the lips, let my eyes glow red
nuff said
on a pathway to my success, i've hit a crossroad
don't know what comes next
i been working hella hard just tryna stack checks
yeah i'm mad stressed but i'm blessed nonetheless..
