#bing cypher

My newest...and in my opinion best track. I put a lot of thought into this track unlike my old songs it has a purpose. I hope everyone can understand this and share it. Share, repost, spread the word if you want.

"When the time is right the clock will strike

Allow for the force of your mind to write

The pen alive

Through the eyes of mine 

To invite you all through the door of time

And my word is clear to be seen as right

Together the awakened ones will bind evil

And return to light"

I'm a writer first and rapper second, a musician all together and an average dude with the left overs. When I write (now) I ALWAYS think before I put it down. *Shrugs* (probably should have done that last year too). So for the present and future every song poem or just straight up thought I record will have  some type of meaning to it...there will always be the occasional ignorant shit, but my goal is to make ignorance the listener's bliss (inside joke). People who don't know, Sonic The Hamilton was and is the greatest creative album ever recorded. I wanna challenge everyone to write a whole album through the eyes of 'Sonic the Hedgehog' and tell a story and make it GOOD. Ready set go.... (Don't)

Lupe went in on the Cool and Food & Liquor. Concept again using crazy ass lyrics and wordplay to craft a story. 

Now I didn't really set out to do a concept album, more or less really a collective concept. If you get it then I don't have to explain, if you don't then I still probably won't explain. Pleasantly Over Thinking is not going to be telling a long drawn out story. It's gonna be tracks that may or may not come together and may or may not tell a story. It's up to the listener. I know what they're about (obviously), but my goal is to make it open to interpretation what most of it is about because as you know I can't be next to you when you listen to it and break down every line. 

I can say it'll be dope tho. That is all...

"We On" ft. Gro & Bobby Fischer

Remember 'Change of Heart'? Remember 'Letting Go ft. XV'? Remember 'Dead Presidents'? I have to ask because the last song I recorded officially was the outro for my last mixtape, "Change Of Heart". That was back in June of this year. Some of you are probably thinking, well that's not too long. The fact is, in the music world, it's almost a lifetime. To be honest I've been pretty disguisted by rap lately. I can't really turn on a radio without hearing 'Party Rock Anthem' or 'How To Love' which in my opinion is the most noteworthy piece-of-shit to drop since Sean Paul left rap (unfortunately he decided to come back too). In a sense I disappeared from the thing I love most; music.

I released "Change Of Heart" thinking I was going to rack up downloads and get rich quick soon-after. I couldn't have been more wrong. The truth is, my mixtape wasn't all that good. I'm able to come to terms with it now that I did what plenty of people expected me to do; rap over industry beats and stay within proverbial 'box'. In other words, I didn't take a risk. Sure, my track with XV got on 2DopeBoyz, but I know without him it wouldn't have been heard by anyone. However, that song unlike the other 12 on my tape was unique in that I took a risk on a pretty creative beat. The rest of my tape was over much more basic and easily recognizeable beats that failed to impress. I put too much emphasis on my lyrics, instead of what the listener is actually looking for; a catchy beat.

After months of reflecting back on my mistakes, I'm ready to grow and move forward with more confidence and much less caution. I'm embarking on trying something different here. I will be constructing a new mixtape to hopefully be out early next year with three singles to be out before the close of 2011. Instead of industry beats I'll be going over original and more unique production, being handled almost completely by the production duo of Divine Intervention Ink. You'll hear more stadium-status, rock-oriented, dubstep, and unusual samples than my previous effort. Tentatively titled, "Emoticons Of Mother Nature" I'll focus more on portraying an emotion and feeling through the beat more than the lyrics and try to interlock them into creating more of a production-heavy component. I'm not saying I'm dumbing it down, but you'll be more focused on the production before the lyrics this time.

I'll be using the seasons to portray emotions. For example the layout will look something like this

Act IV: Autumn

9. September

10. October

11. November

12 songs in all, seasonal in accordance with the calendar.
