"There are always gonna be Crips, there are always be, you know, people in pain; it's just the nature of being in a body... there are always gonna be Crips. 
There are always gonna be Crips, there are always be, you know, people in pain; it's just the nature of being in a body... there are always gonna be Crips. And we kind of fly in the face of this idea of medicine as god. There are always gonna be Crips. 
You're awesome, you are fabulous, you are beautiful, and I, you're, how could - the idea that anyone could less than, is just, absurd.
You're awesome, you are fabulous, you are beautiful. 
There are always gonna be Crips."

Wavey Ting - FBi Brunch Mix

Managed to break the months-long writer's block I had throughout 2021 (while I was focusing on finishing up the "Pulsers" EP) in the last quarter of that year. Somehow, I managed to whip up more than five tracks I was happy with over the course of the last 10 months. Here's the final result. You probably already know the drill by now. 

Some of these are coming out in some form in the foreseeable future. Most of the tracks in this mix are unreleased for now, though.
