TIPPY TOES!

Hope ELUCID get a much attention as woods and alchemist.

With that mortgage, tornado insurance
That house’lll be my old lady's coffin
Ill winds, more often snatch negroes off porches
Took the curtain down
Oz Corporation, a corporation remorseless
Bureaucrats cautious, calling corporate, calling corporate
Wind rattle your shingle, gavel bang
Now you human chattel, the king thought to mingle with the rebel
Fell back leaking
The people’s claws reaching, eyes like sequins
By candles’ glow, play my mother's piano in a bando
Dueling banjoes, gettin money
But these pennies feel like they can cover manholes
Shoot hick cops, Rambo, Mujaheddin Stylone
A simpler time, busting Mexican brick into dime
Feeling like Pennywise, what a time to be alive
Cackle over chicken thighs, Church's fried
Boarded up, we still inside, ghosts hide
While you f*** jealous
Might trip you on the stairs to the cellar
Show you forever, together, numb, great
Sichuan pepper sprayed awake
The leper'll tell you straight
Family and friends'll lie to your face
Lie to the last day
Lie after that while you molder in the grave

All jokes aside, my man had a Nigerian accountant

Where can a man listen to some Child Actor beats god damn

Wow did not see that the Haram CD comes w a full lyric booklet. Copped

@marcusg put me onto KAYANA? She was all over Small Bills and I see she’s on Haram. Is she signed to Backwoodz? Does she have solo material?

I was actually just made aware of her through Small Bills, was curious about the same thing lol

But she’s not on Backwoodz. Excited for the Haram feature

“Flow work like vintage Ghost’s”

She absolutely blew me away on Small Bills. Heavenly voice and mad versatile. Hasnt got any solo material out just yet though I believe.

What does ELUCID mean when he say

"I only write for the dead"

Maybe that he's trying to bring the past to life in order to contextualize the present? Or that he's trying to give voice to people who've been silenced? The Flavor Flav verse comes to mind on this subject

Don't know, my brain doesn't compute a lot of what he says so I could be way off.

This is why I'm excited to read through the Haram lyric book

Hemingway shotguns through the nose
Ghost's voice, Rae's flow
The devil you know

Love that whole verse, one of my favourites of his.

woods feature on Siifu's Negro Deluxe. Craven produced. Coming April 9

Woooooah lets go

Just say he and Ka are the best... let’s not argue
