Can I be honest with you? Going into 2020, it seemed like it was going to be a stellar year for me. I had some deals lined up and some major announcements on the horizon. Needless to say, those never happened. The global virus caused me to lose many major opportunities such as Tokyo Olympic music licensing agreements, performances at Canada's premier JUNO Awards, not to mention sustaining a sports injury that caused me to need multiple surgeries (also delayed thanks to the pandemic).
Through it all, over the past year and a half I've tried to stay positive and keep the faith. I kept creating during the lockdown sticking closely to my Afrofusion brand. Truthfully though, some days are harder than others. During a particularly rough day recently, I needed to vent in a way that I've only been able to do using rap. So I went back to my rap roots, yet still incorporating elements of my Afrofusion sound. "21:00 Freestyle" is the result of that vent session. The song features production from my friend and fellow artist, UK-based, Jonathan Ogden. Enjoy!
LYRICS
Most times I play it quiet like I’m disconnected
But best believe my eyes are open, I’m never ineffective
I never interjected
When I was disrespected
Baba mi so pe when they curse you’s when they need a blessing
And if they vexing on you
That means they checking for you
Is a difference between them and those who checking on you
I run the check up for you
Before I go Jeckle on you
I - you know what, I’ll let is sekkle on you
Sope cool down, cool down
It be like say you want decapitate the whole crown
It be like say you want to gravitate the whole town,
It be like say you one with this, you born for this (I is)
I just dig inside the melanin
To find the deeper element
I swore I wouldn’t rap no more, but it’s so evident
And I ain’t saying I’m the best
I’m just heaven sent
And I don’t even gotta tell you ‘bout my dollar spent
From east coast, to sea shores
All I see is Kinkos
Rappers copy, plagiarize they lies, it’s all a peep show
It’s the Afro, with a mad fro
And a Mac Pro, and a macro
View of the news
And I choose to refuse
To go that way
In these fast days
I stack my bread, I stack it tall
Then stash it away
So I might float away
Might go the Florida way
Men they no sabi weight I carry on my shoulder plates
So je ko soro lo
You waitin' on the fall?
I’m so convinced on the Son, I’m so above the law
The ones don’t matter, yea they know my name
But the ones that matter, yea they know my frame and that’s ok
Toronto city, that’s the set I came
But Lagos city, that’ the set I claim, set I claim
So I float, like a butterfly
And one time for the culture, we set it live
