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.

Lyrics:

This gold chains sit right in my palm I play around with it
and what's the ground distance? 
20 feet apart from where I sit and where I been at
tendencies of talking I admit I gotta chill at
middle finger jockin at this system I attended I assisted where I shouldn't
really been influenced by the chicken not congruent to my morals
I can pour it out the roof for all my loved ones
I can pour it our for you cause you my loved one
aye, yo
and when I'm faced with the closure, 
I shake my composure
a shape out of focus I can't see
automation immobile, frozen
a nick in a time ticking explosion
ghosted, outta my soul picture me float 
hot as I'm cold mix of emotions
I'm attached to the dream I was choking 
and sewing facts in the seams of this notepad
on the path where the beast get a toe tag
only dad got a drink with a closed tab
hold me back or at least show the whole bag
hold me back or at least show the whole bag
