Collaborator 050: Lo-Fi Odysseys w/ Mistah Rapsey on the b side.

I’m overjoyed to present number 50 in this glorious mixtape series today. As a special treat to celebrate this milestone, Daniel Oduntan and I have cooked up a 2 hour special! 

Brother Thomas, many blessings.

This mix was inspired by fresh starts, big windows, window seats, Spring, sunshine/night time, day ones, reals ones, Babylon, dead ends, unrequited love, the beautiful struggle and goodbyes.

Peace Daniel Oduntan / LFO

BOOKMARK // REPOST

Most people believe they are thinking when they are only repeating.

Most people believe they are choosing when they are only reacting.

And most people believe they are free because the walls around them are invisible.

To Notice is to accept a burden: once you see the structure, you can no longer pretend the maze is nature. The Noticer does not panic at this realization, nor does he attempt to tear the maze down in a moment of rage. He studies it. He learns where it narrows, where it widens, and where the guards stop looking.

Reality does not announce itself. It leaves traces.

Power does not shout. It arranges incentives.

Deception does not argue. It normalizes.

The untrained mind asks, “Is this true?”

The Noticer asks, “Who benefits if I believe this?”

This is not cynicism. It is orientation.

The greatest trick played on modern man is convincing him that clarity is cruelty and confusion is compassion. He is told that certainty is violence, that discernment is arrogance, and that refusing illusion is hatred. In time, he learns to apologize for seeing clearly—and eventually, to stop seeing at all.

S.U.N. exists to reverse this decay.

We do not seek purity, consensus, or moral theater. We seek alignment with what is. The Noticer does not need permission to see, nor validation to know. Truth does not require applause; it requires endurance.

The Sun does not argue with shadows.

It simply rises.
