Contorted Dystopia — A Mixtape by Cerebro, The Lyricist & Xavier Chops

"Contorted Dystopia" is more than just my debut mixtape — it's a raw, honest reflection of the tug-of-war between who I am and who the world demands me to be. As Cerebro, The Lyricist, it’s my sharpest pen yet. As Xavier Chops, it’s the most vulnerable I’ve ever been. It’s not just music; it’s my mirror.

The project is made up of 15 songs, split between two sonic worlds: 7 mainstream trap tracks and 8 boom bap joints. That split isn’t accidental — it’s intentional. It's the sound of me balancing between two extremes: the flashy noise of survival and the sacred quiet of self-awareness.

The trap songs are anthems of hunger, motion, chaos — the part of me that’s clawing for recognition in a world that loves surface over soul. The boom bap tracks, on the other hand, are where the real stories breathe. Where the pen bleeds. Where I speak on identity, pain, healing, and resilience without filters or distractions.

The term Contorted Dystopia speaks to a twisted reality — one where everything feels inverted. A place where joy is laced with guilt, where success feels foreign, and where being authentic almost feels like rebellion. This project is me trying to stretch truth through distortion, to create balance in imbalance. It’s my statement that beauty can be found in dysfunction. That clarity can come from the chaos.

To Cerebro, this is a literary war cry — the sharpest articulation of a mind fed up with conformity.
To Xavier, this is therapy — an archive of late nights, fears faced, and growth earned.


Special thanks to every friend who sat with me through the drafts, the demos, the rewrites — your critiques shaped this into what it had to be. You didn’t just listen, you challenged the vision. And to every fan who’s been running the reels up, showing love, reposting, and helping build this wave — you’re the reason this even touches ears. You made this bigger than me.

Contorted Dystopia.

A writer-influenced insight into my life 
This body of work covers untapped acres in my soul's field
I found solace in emotional vulnerability  
I grew to realize that trusting the creative process makes it easier to find mood in music
Something I barely show because of the "sense of bravado" that comes with my alter ego
I grew concerned when I felt my music was starting to feel shallow
seeing as that i felt it was lacking a sense of depth and thoughtfulness I started looking inward 
peeling behind the layers of "my different selves" I looked for common ground
A point of reference to keep in mind as I pursue this journey.
This body of work is influenced by 70's Soul And Jazz, I've been listening to my father's music collection and gathering samples through his musical guidance 
I owe a lot to him but most importantly I owe my entire career to him, in 2016 my father played Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly for me in his car on a day trip. I've since been inspired to grow my linguistic prowess and pursue music as a career, for that I am eternally grateful.
This project is for all troubled kids who feel like they have no control over their lives, for all the kids that haven't fully healed from the passing of close friends, for all the people that need to hear a new breath of consciousness in an era filled with meaningless music, this project is for the music connoisseurs who have always sought for meaningful music, this project is most definitely for the hip hop heads that want to hear the rap bars over timeless beats, this project is for my family and friends, I value the life-long lessons you have shared with me, this project is for my supportive, beautiful and intelligent muse, it is through her relentless support that I got through some of the worst times while I was working on this project, Thank you for your incessant reassurance, thank you for the late night calls, thank you for being present at such a time in my life, I love and appreciate you.

It's All A Blur.
A Project that dissects me to the core of my being
