Without You Snippet

"Liwa" Snippet

X PASS W/YOLOPHONIK

lyrics:

Bad b*tch named Evelyn
Skin so rich - shawty got melanin
She my medicine
I been in her closet, shawty got skeletons
Now they coming out
We been getting high all day but I think we finally coming down
When I come around
You better not make me wait too long coz I'm coming now

Bad b*tch named Evelyn
Soft lips, wide hips that dip
That sh*t so feminine
I breathe on your neck
Boost your adrenaline
She f*ck with a nigga like me coz she say I'm a gentleman
It's a lot of niggas that I'm better than
F*ck that nigga you're with, I feel like you're settling
You see the way that he treats you, that sh*t is evidence
I send a uber to take you straight up to my residence

You heard through the grape vine
Come f*ck with a nigga like me if you're looking for a great time
We smoke and f*ck all day
Call you princess, you always get your way
I put you in different positions
I f*ck you til you cannot breathe and your body is twitching
I'm Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen
Loving you is my religions

RHYTHM OF LIES

Girlthewoman - Cause

Saccharine Radio is thrilled to announce the release of its second single, “FOLK TALES, FORK TAILS” as a precursor to their upcoming EP. With elements of alternative jazz, the ensemble continues to push boundaries in the genre.

Following their debut single, “amadlozi”, “FOLK TALES, FORK TAILS” promises to captivate audiences with its intricate melodies and hypnotic rhythms. This track serves as a preview of what's to come on Saccharine Radio’s upcoming EP.

spawning, from the bareback of sampling — the consistent, almost loopy approach comes from a love at first glance…

having taken a taxi on a random workday, [kimetsu.] had found himself shazaming a song playing, one that he would later discover that it was unofficial Charles Webster remix & within these distinct sonics, there was a guitar, almost staring into his soul…

an 8 second soundbite, turned into a frame for a collage of sonic exhibition — a painting that Johnny Wxlf would later on, equally paint with his brush of wit, wordplay & signature cadence.

- [kimetsu.]

This song was one of those case where I had no idea what direction this song would go but I knew as soon as i heard the snippet on [kimetsu.]'s WhatsApp status I had to do something on it. This was actually the first song I ever did with [kimetsu.] I think, I might be wrong but i know this was either the first or second. The manner in which [kimetsu.] produces his work is so ancestral sonically and it doesn't take much to get invoked by his music. After the second listen I found myself singing along without even realising and ended up recording the following day. I always find myself trying my best to compliment [kimetsu.]’s music with a meaningful message and bonfire type chants because i understand that what he’s doing musically is an anomaly and its also extremely important. The intention behind this song from my side was honestly just invocation and I'm grateful [kimetsu.] allowed me to express myself freely on this.

[kimetsu.] — FOLK TALES, FORK TAILS w/ Johnny Wxlf

nobody wants to hear your sad poems anymore
as if i write them for the happiness of silly boys 
i burnt an offering for times when i digressed more 
if you’re uncomfortable with feelings, see yourself out 

please dont let me spiral 
this the only form of healing for my mental

looks were appealing 
you look amazing
but i could never change myself on your appraisal 
if i remain the same then whats the point of trying 
to be your favorite i must see myself in thousands
different layers, different paradigms of suffering 
for me to shed skin i must see superior me 
it could be similar to when i see the sovereign in you
put men on pedastals but never me insufferable 
antagonising agony no point of colouring books

10. IS IT OKAY

This song is a testament to the enduring love I hold for my older brother, a soul who has endured immeasurable suffering. It is woven with the threads of divine love, resonating with the echoes of our shared pain and hope. May its melody forever vibrate through the fabric of the universe, a constant reminder of the bond we share and the unyielding strength of the human spirit.

This eclectic, #TellYourTruth movement is not just a band.They are creative freedom fighters on a mission to make the 

The message is Music. From its origins, through its nature to its 
essence. This is a collective of life-lovers who come together to 
do what they feel they were called to do. In each of us lives the 
desire to brighten our own little corner through music.

Every musical gathering is a bid to keep our inner child alive, so 
our primary mission is to have fun with the Music. However, 
whilst letting go in this way, we still seek to spark the flame that 
burns fiercely; fusing Life's lessons with our own dreams of a 
brighter future. For us Music represents life, nourishment, wealth 
and opportunity.

Our tribe hails from all around the Southern tip of Africa... but it also represents Johannesburg; the city of dreams and lights we have come to call home away from home.


This collective serves the art so that it becomes a movement... 
not just an occupation. We want to entertain you. We want to move you.
