This album really feels like the start of something new for me, made sense to call the last track 'Beginning'. Also I sampled the soundtrack of Batman Begins for this beat, so that also had some impact on the name, and was the reason why I even made this the outro for the whole album, cause I sampled the music from the end credits of that film, so the beat just naturally had that outro vibe to it. It's been such a dope month and a bit building up and releasing this album, so happy that it's now out there to be listened to. Thank you for supporting me whether it was on YouTube, Soundcloud, streaming, physical media, bandcamp, it's all so appreciated and the positive feedback (and the constructive) has been crazy motivating can't even describe it. So motivating that I've made a whole new albums worth of beats and written lyrics to them all it's mad, that will take a while to actually be ready for release, but in the meantime I've got loads more classic Hip Hop remixes to release (now over on my 2nd channel), will be dope to get back on that after a break. I think it makes sense to keep my emceeing over beats on this channel, and have the remixes on another channel, just to save things getting confusing etc. So even though I'll be uploading less on this channel for a bit, you can still check mad remixes like normal over on my 2nd one. So yeah basically nothings changed just I'm putting remixes and the beats for them on my 2nd channel now.
I also should hopefully have some more physical media on the way for the anniversaries of both my Crime Side album and the DOOMSDAY tribute album...fingers crossed.
See you next week on my 2nd channel for a remix of Temptations by 2pac, Peace and one love!!!! Oh and this album has a bonus track, currently exclusive to tape and CD but I'll be dropping it on here soon, once the video is shot etc ready to go on YouTube.
Beat, lyrics, mixing, mastering all by Tapehead
Lyrics:
Thinkin back to the beginning
How I used to play the villain
Lovin what I'm spinnin, now Ive got it in my system
Trust in my heart hope I last and go the distance
This ain't like some drugs
Had enough, all the fuck ups
Buck up, life's like a game
You can change up
Change paths
Had to release, get it out there
I know a few care, made the moves now its so clear
Dropped all my beats, got too much weight to carry me
On to the next
Stay creatin, stay happy
Keep it known from what I'm makin,
Feelin that I'm chasin
Sucker for the highs
Long enough, I know the fake shit
Ain't got the time or the mind, I replaced it
Long long time been without, now I made it
Out of the matrix, they want you enslaved in
Easy to make you complacent, vacant
Regardless I'm stayin, out of the way
Nothing that I rate and I can't see change
Just want mad eyes to see, wakin up to this blatant
World's built on hatred, I've got to escape it
Sometimes I feel weight
Like am I the only one
But I know that's a front
There's mad minds in the cut
Want to speak on it more
Always writing some more
Bringin tags with the 4 c e
Always makin the beats
Bringing out all of these
Kinda bleed out, I speak loud
Can't change what I am, I explained
Deep down I'm the same
But I changed up how
What I use what I do
Stuff to make me improve
If I make it will you
Hear my style and change too
Know my patience is through
I ain't waitin it's too long
Lost in the throbs
Only one mind can move on
One mind can take all the time, see it's all gone
Mad how the years slip by, I can do more
Lifetime of writin, producin, like this
Made my own path, didn't like what you provided
Sometimes I need a break
I feel calm in the silence
Might be the beats
Might be the writing
No matter what
Gotta keep providin
