"awww, Settt” <3 by blosSsom words and music by blosSsom, beat produced by Foreign Made (denotation, in 4-3-2...) sometimes it's like... if anybody tried to lie on me, would the rest of y'all just believe them? what if they play innocent, present me as a creeper? if i tell my truth, would you still believe it? see, we're living in a world... surrounded by creepers. they act like vultures kill, that's not a vulture, that's a pill they force you to swallow but we the street sweepers sleeper cell awaken i was taught to freq the frequency i know i sound like weirdo rap, i'm more like mirror rap. (yea i've got a record but i don't fear a rap) still sharper than a motherfucking razor tho no cap, gillette's on the attack i'll take all the blame you try to throw at me, because looking at myself ain't never been easy. (believe me) i'm mr. personality but fuck a phallus i rock an obelisk like they so quick to diss US thinking i might capitulate facing capital punishment decapitation, i keep it a hundred i made this song just to see if ASCAP will pay it... nowadays everybody wanna be the police it's like a sting operation watching every breath i take i can't breathe i never fake it, so i guess that's why i never make it. a pagan, it's painful... i don't blame you cuz or if you a blood cuz i'm neither but i got love for the thugs. it's hard to distinguish myself, sometimes i feel like they want me to extinguish myself like MLK, the arc is long... they hit me below the belt make it sound like i got blown, when the reality is nobody went down but me i felt so down & all alone like pac in front of brown vs. board me against the world i'm osiris broken and scattered like a string of pearls... sometimes i feel like set is tryna set me up, again, tryna mix my messages up i bet you got it twisted you don't know who to trust i told em keep the peace when they was ready to bust ninjas move like, um, ninjas at dusk, & at dawn... the calm before the storm? the darkest hour is always before the dawn some still cower, let them... i'm coming back around, like horus, hours, it's ours you know they try to whore us. these times are serious i got a sirius moon and if i say isis you prolly think i'm talking bout some terrorist goons like those in uniform? but the truth is it's some “terror” -ists who control the news why you think they never say anything new black-on-black crime? why's that? maybe it's the pot kalling the kokane black? i said, k-k-k-crack rock i'm sick of sickness ain't that a bitch while all these crackers force my brothers to talk about a fat whip mama africa she asked me to provide back-up so many tears in her eyes she said, my child, they're forcing our children to lie are you brave enough... to go against the tide? it will shatter your pride your best friend will tell lies and she'll believe them to be true they'll kick you out of the pack nail you down with tact like a jack-rabbit, (facts met by bad actors) you'll be hunted by black, white, grey trans, gay, straight, man or women, nazis come in all disguises you'll be like joseph in the technicolor dreamcoat you as rainbow as them, but they won't see you... yet no matter what, if you trust me, i will redeem you... i let go... let jah... that's code for the mother same say mama, same root as matter, and matrix i'm not black, per se, but somebody had to say it. str8 outta the galactic center... this is god's town. let's go.

about

At the juxtaposition of magic, hip-hop, polyhymnic poetry, myth, and punk-rock? I humbly ask you to Pump Up the Volume on this (or Turn Up, if you prefer)... This EP is extended to You in its raw form, as I work on finishing up "bloOomb0x: the MixXxtape." A throw-back to my love of 7-inch records as a child (45 rpm), but with No Money to release a vinyl. C'est la vie. Catch you on the flip-side nevertheless.

Both of these songs were originally recorded about 6 or 7 months ago, and not released until now. I encourage you to download this EP (which is offered for free &/or by donation if you wish) in its highest quality format of your choice, for additional extras, and in hopes that you may play it with amplification through a stereo ((or some choice headphones)) someday.

Much love and respect to all peoples and creatures, that's the spirit I come from. With love,

blosSsom

"Ali Way (Death WisSshhh)" was originally recorded on May 18, 2020, around 4am it seems. Sun conjunct Algol... Just one of those days...you know? I thought I was ready to make a perfect take, and as soon as I pressed *record* it came out all wrong. This was the 8th take, I believe: "the one." And I am presenting it fairly raw, live, and direct. Already working on a remix which integrates some of the other takes, for the album, but I wanted this version to come out first. Both Mercury and Venus Rx were in Gemini & out of bounds during this recording.

As for "Awww, Settt" it was originally recorded on June 22nd, 2020... Shortly after the solar eclipse. The Moon was out of bounds conjunct Sirius & Mercury retrograde.

Brief passages in the song, "Awww, Settt" are entendre which directly reference the work of these artists, including the acronym "Because Looking At Myself ain't Easy" (KRS-One quoting his wife), Gillette's "On the Attack," and several references to 2pac. This was done in the spirit of hip-hop as meta-music which is constantly evolving upon, and indebted/in gratitude to, its forebears and trailblazers.

"Death Wish" likewise briefly quotes Big Daddy Kane's freestyle from the famous cypher with 2pac and BIG (~circa 93 or 94). BDK is directly named in the lyrics of the song, but just wanna make this abundantly clear. The intro is also a reference to 2pac's song "They Don't Give a F-- About Us."

If it were up to me, I would prefer to leave these references as obscure as I intended them, like a treasure hunt of easter eggs and double-entendre. But it isn't up to me because this overlaps with other artists getting their due credit.

Full written lyrics are available on the individual songs linked above (click on the track title for additional info), and also via a lyric sheet in the download.
