Studio REDUX!!

Yo yo, what up hip hop headz!!!

Well I know school has kinda taken me away from writing here as often as I wanted to but anyway here's the deal.
My hard drive crashed with all the studio files on it… and by crashed I mean the arm that reads the drive is hitting the wall so I can't access the info. The ENTIRE Lucy album is on there so I need to save up a bit and get it fixed.
That explains me not going into the studio to record my album, but I still have a few songs and verses I promised to others I haven't done yet. The solution? Home studio redux!!!

I have ordered a bunch of new equipment as a Christmas gift to myself (let's face it, no one loves me THAT much). Anyway I was borrowing a midi from Triple D (the other half of LAMEBOT) to work on beats and produce madness but I recently got my new baby, an Axiom 61 V2… still playing around and figuring out stuff on it. I also ordered a new mic that should be here next week. That means I should have a handful of songs done.
The mac has been the best investment I've made. I am now running Pro Tools 8 HD on here and it runs super smooth. I'm making my music off Reason 4 mainly but also using Pro Tools 8 HD and Logic 9 Pro and utilizing ReWire.


In other news… I'll be trying to wrap up a few projects before the end of the year, including an official LAMEBOT EP and my project with the legend, C-Rayz Walz, The Return of the Black Samurai. Shit is gonna be fire!!!! My production is mainly using Asian instruments, choppy drums, and fuzzy bass lines… with C-Rayz doing all the spittin', this should be a cd that you can leave in your car's disc changer.

If you're feeling the cover art and the project idea, leave some love on the facebook

Apart from that, I have two solo tracks you Dub and Electro enthusiasts should check out. One I made for Reznor and his soundtrack for The Social Network movie, I took the idea in his track and raped it and came out with my own twisted version.


And I also had to write a few papers for a class, I decided to substitute one of those papers with a musical interpretation, and thus I give you… The Yellow Wallpaper. Check the description for more deets.


Iight yo, I leave you with that. You'll be hearing from me soon!
PEACE!

Requiem... lyrics off a Lucy track

the instrumental is done and so are the lyrics but it has yet to be recorded.
here are the lyrics

Requiem

Just a flick of her wrist sent me swirling into autobahn speeds searching for a need to flee the octagon. Its part of the service surely noticed and converted into something more then I could offer at the moment. I’m heavily wounded, she moves in for the kill but decides to shift the blame just to add to the guilt. It’s bad enough I already feel discomfort, now she’s out to remind me of what I took from her. Licks her lips slowly trying to taste the musk scent left in the air she could almost smell the blood. I was left leaking looking lower then my reasons. I could barely even stand, how the hell am I still breathing? Mildly amused at the strength that I exude; expression like kabuki as I finally made a move. I let out a laugh and took a few steps just to stand eye to eye and mumble under my breath… “I took our time together put it all in a pile and watched it all escape as I lit up the torch. Why force the issue. We can never be friends but with every failed attempt I see you beat a dead horse.”

I’m not like the rest of them, squandering and miscreant. At your funeral, yes I will sing your requiem. Finally sleeping fully covered up by leeches. One with your own kind I hope you rot in pieces.

Love bites and razorblades, reasoning on why you’re late. I don’t need to guess, I smell the traces of his aftershave. I started to speak but decided to just leave; I promptly turned around just to hear your speech. So every now and then I must be on your mind because writing random letters must take up some time. I kind of cut it close but my teeth held my tongue back. All I did was smile as you held my heart with both hands. Staring with a rotten calm eyeing up your bloody palms; arguing the nerve to take what’s left before it’s gone. I can feel the pressure extruded by every finger pressing in your nails just to make it wither. Whether or not you think this makes it better, the selfishness displayed doesn’t compliment your figure. Oh great, I can almost hear your response…“without me you wouldn’t write these songs.” “There’s truth in that statement but you’re missing the point, I’m actually really grateful for what happened. There’s no looking back because we both made a choice. Sorry, I no longer supply what you’re lacking.”

I’m not like the rest of them, squandering and miscreant. At your funeral, yes I will sing your requiem. Finally sleeping fully covered up by leeches. One with your own kind I hope you rot in pieces.

She dug her teeth into my veins trying to suck out all the plasma, draining my excuses thirsty chasing down an answer. I am just a man and we no longer are a tandem, when your heart turns black I will gladly eat your cancer while it still beats clumping fluids on floor. Rhythmically it speaks all the sayings I ignore. Constantly it leaks leaving stains upon the sleeves of both extended arms twitching mildly out of reach. Rolling on my back trying to catch my breath I inhaled quick trying to fill my chest. Exhaled, oops, there you went along with every other problem as a consequence. I got to my feet with a hand on the dresser, finally stood up and felt so much better. Shook off the shock when the lights switched off and all I heard was a loud voice talk… “I took our time together put it all in a pile and watched it all escape as I lit up the torch. Why force the issue. We can never be friends but with every failed attempt I see you beat a dead horse.”

I’m not like the rest of them, squandering and miscreant. At your funeral, yes I will sing your requiem. Finally sleeping fully covered up by leeches. One with your own kind I hope you rot in pieces.
