Verse 1 - Aquakulture Grey hairs got em looking like stressed piled on
 Back when the suit was orange white like a pileon 
 Mama bugging the fuck out that er child gone 
 Seem like she don't make enough to send her child more 
 Honestly its real hard for me to call a friend bro
 When dudes moods change quicker than 6 tones
 I love the mic stand
 Safer than taking loses tryna turn a hundred dollars to a hundred grand
 And the pen righteous, you in the middle you get left , right quick
 Went from corellas to Michelle phiffers
 And I'll address it at a male dominated cypher 
 Dont approach me turn this male to a failed lifer 
 For now celebrating moseltoff 
 Hit up beach and bay watch I call it hasselhoffin 
 Tryna make it to the point where we travel often
 Make sure my people stay eating before the wrist flossing/
 Coulda still been in the streets, letting the hand squeeze/
 Before I wrote this record listened to ambeez/
 Extremities, I write rhymes preferably/
 Police still tryna choke me, I can't breathe/
 This is gentlemen status, where the derby /
 Sewage drain lamping catch me whereever curbs be/
 This is street cat knowledge boy, new edition/
 Mad respect to you forever if you choose to listen Verse 2 - Timbuktu jazz club saloon setting/
 the homies in their regular booth the crew legends/
 the smooth menace my mood a blue tempest/
 two tenors moving the groove like bootleggers/
 
 nobody got a perfect past/
 tryna find the answers at the bottom of a bourbon glass/
 vocals bloom floating in a smoky room/
 smoke em with the boom then I'm ghost like I'm polka roo/
 
 syncopated with the moody blues/
 plus the youth find it complicated like a rubix cube/
 lounge lizards / mommas and the poppas singers/
 there's no doppelganger I'm the boss with the Chewbacca fingers/
 
 banana hands on the keys the fam humingus/
 piano man he backing the band like Charles Mingus/
 that's DK rich mahogany like anchorman/
 writing jazz standards on that H from Afghanistan/ 
 
 PI's in crown Vics watch on candid cam/
 competition mannequins I son em like a family man/
 arrive and pound fist set the ambience /
 steamy like Miami heat feeling like a thousand grand/ Verse 3 - Ghettosocks -we wake up and go to work when the sun’s gone/
 -we raisin standards when you hear a standard sung raw/
 ordered up some Yang Chow rice outta Fung Wah/ with 
 golden jewels shimmering on me like I’m Sun Ra/
 
 hop outta space dipped in astro black/ live 
 jazz in neon letters reflecting off the Cadillac/
 communicate polychromatic in this habitat/
 rest in peace Guru - long live Jazzmatazz/
 
 -deep rooted- no sheet music/ so
 fluent with the sax you can feel her thoughts speak through it/
 - the air was thick popped the top off thermometers/ I
 watched her lick the reed and place her mouth on the embouchure/
 
 - play the back Kerouac a word painter/ walked
 in rocking the same shirt as Serge Gainsbourg/
 pain in the music- remaining a student/ they 
 strain to be the next Coltrane of the movement/

DK New York, New York

What would the banging yet smooth beats of DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and the sonic architects of ’90s boom-bap sound like today? Nova Scotian-based producer DK has answered that question with his warm, analog-meets-digital hybrids of wistful yet modern boom-bap. ... more
