Thanks for all your generous support. You have helped us donate over $200 to the Organization for Autism Research (OAR) and counting! Help us reach our goal of donating $300 by either donating directly to OAR or purchasing the album on Bandcamp.

“Twenty Twelve” is available on Bandcamp along with the original 5 instrumentals selected from Hot Os’ SoundCloud songbook.

All profits from purchases will be donated to Organization for Autism Research. "The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) was created in December 2001 – the product of the shared vision and unique life experiences of OAR’s seven founders. Led by these parents and grandparents of children and adults on the autism spectrum, OAR set out to use applied science to answer questions that parents, families, individuals with autism, teachers and caregivers confront daily. (The OAR) is dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by autism by supporting research that produces meaningful and practical results.

“Twenty Twelve” Sticker Set and Zine also available on Bandcamp.

There are so many great musicians on SoundCloud, I wish I could make music with everyone of you. I often reflect on all the great music you have all made, how we are constantly making new songs (because that is what artist do), and how many of our great creations can easily get forgotten. Most of our songs don’t get a chance to live like those songs that get repeated on the radio. And while many of us probably don’t like mainstream radio, many of us would probably like our best songs to have a bigger life, or at least shine a little brighter and be remembered a little longer. As a way to breathe additional air into one of our community members older music, I selected 5 tracks from Hot Os discography and remixed them to make “Twenty Twelve”

Humongous thanks to Hot Os for letting me select and edit 5 prime beats as well as raid his Instagram account for Zine images. Massive thanks to Janine Levinson and Jay Walker Black for dropping those hot guest vocals. And a giant thanks to Caedmon Rigby for all his time and creative energy mixing and mastering “Twenty Twelve” to make it sound so original, so professional, so fresh, and so clean!!! I love working with you all! Part of what makes collaborating so worthwhile is spending creative time with your friends.

Lyrics available on Bandcamp

Trendsetting keeps within the spirt of “It Ain’t Looking Good” by taking it’s inspiration from people I meet at work and the neighborhood I work in. Two youth I know were really proud of having fake Yeezy Boost 350s. I have never been into sneaker culture but have had friends at various points in time that were. I had never seen Yeezys before, and don’t like Kanye's personality, but I had to find out more about these shoes. I eventually went down the rabbit hole and learned more about counterfeit shoes. It reminded me of a scene from the movie “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka,” where they were talking about fake gold necklaces making your skin green (at least I think it was a scene in that movie, lol). It also reminded me of a time I went to Malaysia and someone I knew was following lead after lead, into alley after alley, to get the highest quality imitation purses and watches. Capitalism. Consumerism. Well whatever. lol

Huge shout out to Bitzone, DeeP, and Frawstakwa for regularly reaching out to make music with me. I am grateful to have so many collaborators and online musical friendships. You are all the best. Having friends to make music with and a community to share creations with is what matters the most.

This song goes out to being in nature instead of a store.

Lyrics

Couch King

Got cheap knock offs all the way to that good shit

Looking so fly even though it’s all counterfeit

What you wanna buy if you wanna it i can get it

Bet it looks so real its a steal, don’t forget it

I’m on this hustle fo sheezy, breezy

Duffle full of kicks on the shoulder cause it’s easy

Russell what you think of that

I don’t know

Bro don’t knock it cause it’s cheesy

Yo yo wez be slanging

Hanging on the corner

With that 90 beeper ranging

We be trend settin’

Doesn’t matter if it is the real thing

As long as photos looking just like magazines

Still coppin’ that lifestyle without the means

Ya still jockin’ my lifestyle like I got the cream

Movin’ luxury hoax at hyper speed

We lootin’ big money folks cause you got them needs

These black market sneaks legit they don’t mislead

Flexin’ dem bootleg fits with that bargain price greed

You see it’s all about making impressions, flexin’

Who be first wearing what’s next n,’ vexin’

Haters commentators disrespectin’

Fakers gettin’ caught catchin’ wreck’n

Next time bettin’ you learn your lesson

Upgrade fool

We be trend settin’

Heart click gold

Doesn’t matter if it is the real thing

As long as photos looking just like magazines

Still coppin’ that lifestyle without the means

Ya still jockin’ my lifestyle like I got the cream

Frawstakwa

Suckas swear they’ve got style

I sit back and smile

Kick my feet up

We might be here for a while

You see the thing about style

That is so worthwhile

Is it’s a feeling

Not a product that you buy

Nonetheless fools will try

Like it ain’t no lie

You won’t believe what

They’d do so you’d think they’re fly

And fit the image prescribed

Fashion designed

It all to keep the

Bottom line in mind

But, um

Does it pay to advertise

Or pay to play the part

Pay attention to the price

You pay they say that time

Is money but to treasure life

Can’t be measured by

User metrics influencers provide

Virtually unreal ventures capitalized

On the findings

Black Friday good tidings

Gift wrapped you’re welcome

But, you are not that fly

I think this track started 2 years ago. I remember talking about the vision with Jamie on the phone and then Jamie sent me a bunch of stems to choose from. I chose the standing bass and recorded my verse with a 90’s vibe in mind. I sent the track over to Russell to add some guitars, he sent that funk rock intro and riff back, and then I don’t know what happened after that? A bunch of other songs got made and the vision for this track expanded to include cutting my second verse and bringing Jon Lock in on vocals. Then the song sat again. Jon and I even started and completed And So You Say and Training Day after we had already got this song started. Since this track was visioned to be part of the first song on the set with Training Day, eventually it had to be completed. Wou-Wou then join in with his synths, rhythm guitar over Jon’s part, and some additional guitar over the first section. This gave the track the final fire it needed and Russell mixed and mastered it like a champ!

As always, massive thanks to Wou-Wou and Russell who have been regular collaborators on so many projects, on SoundCloud, Facebook, and Bandcamp. Wou and Russell will always be the core of my musical team. Thanks for being great friends!

Big thanks also to Jon, who I have worked with on 3 songs now, with 2 more in the works already!

And thanks to Jamie for all his patience, support, and for the completion of our second project together!

This song goes out to all the music nerds, appreciators, and lovers with strong opinions. Keep those conversations going. I spent many, many years, going to the record store several times a week, hanging and talking with the staff, some who became good friends.

Lyrics

Everything changes

Nothing stays the same

I used to hate it when my people would say it's a shame

Stating that the games gone lame

Claiming that today the music is wack

At times I would refrain and take a step back

But most of the time I would counter attack

Back in the day, we would say, Clever repartee

When we were clowning around

But now a days we taking the things a bit more serious

Or maybe it's just me, see

I ain't playing around as much as I used to be

Conversations at a minimal

It's not that I'm more critical or cynical

It's that I am a more apathetic individual

I just don't care

Call me hypocritical

I be like that's fair

Yo

What happened to all the innovators, rhyme slayers, originality generators

You know

There really all still there

Back in the days we had to dig in the crates

Looking for the lessor known greats

I guess that's still the way it operates

Hates a narrow minded state

And It take effort to educate

So

I’ma stay open and keep on diggin’

Vibin' on the sounds that I be hearin’

Yea

And you know it's like that

And you know and you know and you know it's like that

Keep keep on, keep keep on

keep keep keep on

And you know it’s like that

Here comes the backup plan

The man without a name

Don’t want to be no star

Just musical acclaim

Brush back those famous hats like children in the street

I’m gonna sing a bit while Couch King cracks the beat

Whoa baby now shake

Like momma told you now

Whoa baby now shake

Like this was made for

This is a slice of funk

USDA prime

Let it get to your head

You will feel fine

Poetry in motion

Images in time

Back beats and refined commotion

Aged like fine wine

Any you know it’s like that

This song is part of a bigger project. I really like making sets like “The Couch King Sofa Barn” and “The Horror Host” but they take a long time to make and I don’t think SoundCloud loves the long song format. A number of us are almost finished with another song in this project. I am excited to hear how the whole thing turns out. Massive thanks to everyone presently involved and all my future collaborators in these crazy visions. I hope everyone is having fun on the cloud. I feel like this can be a very fun time for the SoundCloud community as we have all matured and know ourselves in relation to music better.

This song got started when another rapper first asked me to collaborate with him. He sent me a beat, but I tend to want to focus on original music from our community so I asked Joerxworx if he wanted to work on a beat with only horns in a New Orleans marching funeral band style. Joerxworx agreed and provided me with massive horns to work with! The other rapper was no longer interested by now in working with me so I asked Jon Lock if he wanted to join in and fortunately he agreed, cause I love his funky soulful vocal stylings! Russell did an amazing job mixing and mastering my sloppy drums and the rest of the track to perfection. I was also very fortunate that Wou-Wou & the Wormling was willing to collaborate on art work for this track, fully completing the spirit of community collaboration!

Everyone in our SoundCloud community rocks, don’t you think?!?!

Lyrics:

More slay

Wack MCs are getting slashed

It ain’t easy being wack these days

Ya get gnashed

Lyrically grinded up

Like left overs you get trashed

I’m Hannibal lector on the mic

While your rhymes are just ruff and ashy I be like

It puts lotion on its rhymes or else it gets the hose again

Then you get skinned with the precision of my pen

Call me wolf and you play the hen

When your all cooped up and shut in by major trends

I’m feral

Escaped into the underground

Where all ill MCs and beat makers find their proving ground

I don’t want to rap

Without any scars

I don’t want to rap if can’t chop through the bars before

Going out like ronin for the culture that’s been stolen

Bandit pillaging MCs take heed

To the master lyricism swordsmen

Oh

I’ll make your heart go faint

Think your resistant until you aint

Close your eyes, move your feet

Here comes the rapture

I am your man

Close your mouth and drop your plan

There’s no need to fake it

Big daddy’s gonna make ya

Dance, twist and shout

Pull up those pants and take you out

poetry and word play

Take you to the dance floor

Place my hand on the small of your back

I give you a joke and take a smack

Sit your ass down and eat your snack

Marvel at the verbal fancy footwork

We came to train to take back the reign from the wack

We came to hone our skills on a ill horn track

We came to bring the reals and show the people what they lack

All wack MCs you best watch your backs

We bring the rhymes

And we bring the beats

And we bring good times

Cause we bring the heat

And we bring the noise

Yea we bring the noise

Lets all make some noise

Lets all make some noise

Come on

Make, make some noise

Let’s all

Make, make some noise

Everybody

Make some noise

Make some noise

I am always trying to be more neutral and nonjudgemental in my experiences of myself and others.

Just so you all know, I am healthy, happy, and doing well. Life is good for me. I am very blessed.

Sending nonjudgemental listening and witnessing out into the world.

Big thanks to DeeP for passionately inviting me to join in on another project and choosing the perfect beat for me to channel the shadow muses. Huge thanks to Russ for laying down the cool experimental guitar work and taking a break from mixing and mastering duties.

Lyrics:

She was found alone dead in her bed

27 years and already dead

He went and took one straight to the head

And it took 3 days before any knew he was dead

She was introverted

Lived reclusive

Took the path of seclusion to her conclusion

After leaving prison

An impoverished condition was the state he lived in

Without any of his friends and fans in the ending

In the ending

In the ending

In the ending

Without anyone around in the ending

Without anyone to love in the ending

Without anyone who cares in the ending

Without anyone with prayers in the ending

I’m thinkin’ a popping the pills again, again

I’m fixin’ ta shoot up my veins again, again

I’m drinkin’ away my will again, again

I’m sinkin’ into a hole again,

Wastin’ my life on a dream that always pending

Hating everything that I waste all my time making

Who am I kidding I’m nothing I’m just pretending

Everyday digging my self a little bit closer to the ending

There were moments when the pain went away

When the weight of life didn’t seem to weigh

Fleeting moment suggesting to stay

While the rest of life was pushing towards dismay

Feeling hopeless

With misguided purpose

Constant pursuing with nothing ever accruing

Is just worthless

What’s the meaning of being around others when

Others are really only attending to mending their own feelings in the ending

I don’t care, I don’t really care, I don’t give a fuck, I don’t give a damn,

I don’t give a shit

I feel blessed to be able to keep Alpha Roots’ vibe shining bright for the SoundCloud community to continue to enjoy.

Alpha Roots sent me these reggae bass and rhythm guitar stem a long time ago, maybe even three years ago in 2016 (bad couch, bad couch)! I originally planned on having Evelyn (of the Reiki Run Rampant tracks on my page) sing over the rhythm but then I moved from Santa Cruz to Portland and she moved from the Pacific Northwest to Santa Cruz, bummer! So the stems sat in my hard drive until new inspiration arrived in the form of Johnny Minstrel, one of favorite song writers on SoundCloud, agreeing to write lyrics and sing over the track. Once Johnny added his deep felt lyrics and magical vocal chords to the mix, the rest of the song came together pretty quickly for me, lol! I often try to put together virtual bands for my tracks and I knew I had to have Jamie Rhind on the track since he worked with Alphio on multiple songs and a reunion was due. I always wanted to work with Jonathan Beckenstein, whose sensitive and thoughtful guitar work is always sublime. Darren and Russ came naturally. My original drum production work was based on an old Sly Dunbar sample (I like to include the essence of some of my favorite artists in the tracks I work on) but the quality of the drums just wasn’t up to Russ’ standards, hahaha, so we brought Bitzone on board to lay down some drums and voila, roots reggae magic!

Big thanks to the band for coming together on this in fine fashion! Big ups to the SoundCloud community and the spirit of collaboration. Keep on digging!

And massive thanks to Wou-Wou to bringing his visual arts talent to the project! My goal is to eventually put together a reggae album (possibly a double album which will also include some reggae collaborations between Alpha Roots and friends including Jamie Rhind and Russ Sinfield) with all profits going to the Cancer Research Institute. Be on the look out for a possible dub version of Red Earth Clay as well!!!

Lyrics:

Hold you tongue don’t wag that finger

Just shine a light on me my friend

Too much fuss will only hinder

All the good things the spirit sends

We were made of dust and fire

Born beneath a brooding sky

On the stairs of Babel we climb higher

To sights not seen by human eye

And now I dig, dig deep into the

Red Earth Clay

Dig, dig deep

And I toil for no pay

I dig, dig deep into the

Red Earth Clay

Down to the root I’ll find my way

Some have called democracy into question

Saying we like sheep have gone astray

That it’s been the rich man’s intention

To steel by night and rule by day

I washed your feet with my tears

I wiped them dry with my hair

Can a hungry mouth still offer prayers

Or are they whispers of despair

And now I dig, dig deep into the

Red Earth Clay

Dig, dig deep

And I toil for no pay

I dig, dig deep into the

Red Earth Clay

Down to the root I’ll find my way

I dig, dig deep into the

Red Earth Clay

Dig, dig deep

And I toil for no pay

I dig, dig deep into the

Red Earth Clay

Down to the root I’ll find my way

This EP is lovingly dedicated to Alphio, remembered by all of the SoundCloud community as Alpha Roots.

Alpha Roots brought the irie vibrations and had us all skanking on the regular. His positive lyrics and vocals raised the collective consciousness and his genre spanning tunes, inspired many to collaborate, and kept our creative fires burning. Alpha Roots was a loving soul that will always be remembered by our tight community. We keep the spirit of Alpha Roots alive each time we listen to his music.

For an unknown reason, I always felt a strong urge to make another version of Hosanna and once Alpha Roots passed away, the impetus became undeniable. I was called to ask Soundwanderer, a regular collaborator with Alpha Roots, to lay a new musical foundation over the Binghi Biscuits rhythm. After Soundwanderer dropped the mad flavor with a truly heartfelt and touching musical performance, I asked Janine Levinson to compliment my newly recorded vocals to really make this dedication to Alphio super special. Russ, who also collaborated with Alphio, was the obvious choice to mix and master the track and really bring Alpha Roots' sprit back to life. I did my best to regularly ask Alphio what he wanted with this remake of Hosanna and I feel the song turned out as he would have liked it.

Huge thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for blessing this song with his beautiful artwork. Wou-Wou listened to the song and was inspired to draw this picture of Jah Lion being hugged by a young spirit; which reminded Russ of this picture of Alpha Roots:

Lyrics

On a day sweetened by a breeze that enlightens us with prana

I wanna climb this earth to find a place where we will sing hosanna

hosanna, hosanna

I wanna climb this earth to sing hosanna

And in sweet meditation we will meet to dance in ultimate freedom

Floating in the universal ghee outside of Vishnu’s dream in Eden

In Zion, in Eden

We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom

In Eden, in Zion

We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom

And we will meet again my friend

In Zion, in Eden

And we will meet to dance again

In freedom, in freedom

In Zion, in Eden

We will meet again my friend

Massive thanks again to Bitzone and DeeP. for keeping the energy going on this projects. Big up to RS Frawstakwa on keeping connected and always being down to bust some rhymes on another track. I have been digging not playing any role in the music production department and just laying down vocals.

“It Ain’t Looking Good,” similar to “I Don’t Owe Ya,” and “Deeper” are influenced by my daily commute to work and the neighborhoods I drive through. The vibrations I was mostly influenced by were very different when I lived in the bay area and worked in Silicon Valley. Santa Cruz had a slightly similar vibration to my current commute, but it was definitely more sunny, positive, and new age. I also suppose that the lyrics and vibe of these tracks are also influenced by the current societal focus on Mental Health.

As always, I appreciate you all listening and commenting and supporting the music on my page. What a long strange trip it’s been. I wish everyone greater and deeper knowing and appreciation of themself.

Lyrics

Rolling through the hood with a crack in the glass

Dent in the trunk from 3 years past

Flashing on the dash cause always low on the gas

What what ch-u looking at huh

What ch-u looking at

Police rolling up hoping they just gonna pass

Marijuana legal no more looking for grass

Still watching out keeping it real working class

What what ch-u looking at huh

What ch-u looking at

Sole falling off the shoe ain’t embarrassed

Yea it’s the same hoodie, why’d you even ask

Don’t need to explain why we taken it back

What what ch-u looking at huh

What ch-u looking at

In the Veil of Darkness

You still see a profile

And it ain’t looking good for me

And it ain’t looking too good for me

And it ain’t looking good for me

Scowl on the prowl feeling real hopeless

Low vibration got no focus

Don’t need your fuckin’ help fuck your diagnosis

What ch-u looking at huh

What ch-u looking at

Hanging in the parking lot

Bumming cigarettes

Mindin’ our own business

Joking bout regrets

Gave up trying to change

Now we get what we get

Yea we act a fool

But your the one with threats

We ain’t looking at you

So why you all upset

Whatchya lookin’ at?

Stop and stare and laugh

Take a photograph

It’ll last longer that way

Oh snap

Spit actual facts

About this and that

By the paragraph

None of it’s an act

I just rap

Almost every song I post started ages ago. I remember writing the lyrics to this song in the gym I go to during summer vacation. Good times. The lyrics were initially inspired by my family's continual attempt to live consciously to better the planet and better our personal health. I pretty much don't buy anything, so that is one way I help, lol. Gotta try to leave the spirit and the planet better than when we came. When doing some further research on the topic I learned about the valley of the drums. You can read a little about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_the_Drums

I love collaborating on music. This is one of the reasons why I still primarily engage with SoundCloud. The other reason I am still pretty much only here is I love this community. You all are the best. I would miss you all too much. Thanks Anne and Russ for making lots of music with me. I love working with both of you.

Detox

This worlds gone to plastic

Get it in a box

My liver in a casket

Off gassing

We're locking up the gasses

Consuming

It's all going to waste

We're all living in the valley

Detox to retox

Retox to detox

Retox and retox

Detox to detox

Now your Energy efficiency

Slowly killing me

I

Turned my house green

But

The green house effect is all we're seeing

Brainwashing

Off gassing

It's that new car smell were inhaling

Dying

Slowly from the lies they are selling

Manufacturing

Cheap Artificial ways of living

We no longer know what we're breathing

Inhaling

Genetically modified ingesting

It's the new American sickening

Run, run, run, run, run

Cars are running

Slice of heaven

ACs are running

247

Your nose is running

Burning eyes

Isn't it funny that we're running out of time

Fuel, air, water, sand, land

Top dog's cunning

Minister's cunning

Senator's cunning

Yeah, their cheekiness is stunning

We're running out of time

Fuel, air, water, sand, land

We're all living in the valley

Of the drums

We need a purification ritual

Huge thanks to DeeP. for initiating these projects.

I think for 2019 I want to focus on some albums with a more consistent sound. I think it would be really cool to work with Bitzone and DeeP., along with some additional other collaborators on full album of similar tracks.

Happy New Year 2019 all! I wish you all lots of good health, fine community, mega prosperity, huge success, good times, and awesome music!

Lyrics:

I’m sick of this world

I’m quick to unfurl

I light up the wick

And picture myself

In the underworld

There’s many ways to die

And I give ‘em a try

Each time that I lie

And close up my eyes

Bak bak

Nobody cares

No one hears my prayers

All I bear is unfair

I swear that I’ll tear

Your hair out if you speak

Shut the fuck up

It ain’t just my fault

How I’m under assault

Blaming is your default

You pour salt on mistakes

To try and validate

Your perceived superiority

A piece of advice

And you move on with you life

I don’t owe ya

A thanks

I don’t owe ya

Get me to see

My responsibility

I don’t owe ya

A sorry

I don’t owe ya

This is my demise

Don’t tell me bout my life

I don’t care if you think

That you care

I’m aware

That I’m a fuck up

This is how my dream dies

Don’t tell me to realize

Who I am

Cause you think that I am

Someone

That’s not a fuck up

Cause I am fuck up just a fuck up

I am fuck up

A real fuck

Telling me to shut up

Always telling me to shut up
