BREAKING NEWS! 2 homeboys, one ball, Two broken ankles, many tears. Broken dreams, FOUR MORE YEARS of 2K shit-talking. AND1, 7 Days a Week. Free-99, no downpayment; Re-possessed ankles. Class 7 Bankruptcy, convicted for three counts of assault, misdemeanor. Dwayne Johnson passed(/past,) The Rock, Accessory to crimes comitted by Yeezy, Shoe-gazing around the wrong fugazi in a sneaker deal. Federal court appeal. Plausible deniability? Unlikely. BREAKING NEWS! Nappy-headed neck-bearded know-it-all, 6’1” is pretty tall. Melanin Darko like Donnie, Jake Gyllenhaal. Subs over Dubs, Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life. My rhymes are strife with cunning linguistics for the mic. Call me Borat, ‘cuz you can catch these hands in Kazakhstan (“My Wife”) (Committing lyrical crimes, we makin’ headlines.) (Lyrical crimes, we makin’ headlines.) (We makin’ headlines)

*- (YoungSinsei ad-libs) [Thom Nook ad-libs] YS: Whatever, Sinsei, listen (wow) It doesn’t get better, wrist clever, grip cheddar 90% of my bitch (fit leather, spit pressure, give the kid blessings) _____ TN: Thought-pressin’, no stressin’, TakeLessons.con-vocation implicated and inundated. Constipated while I’m shitting on these doo-ass lines With a rhyme scheme equal in value to the prime theme and consensus of my past tenses. YS: Since lessons from sense lessen your shit reference. Spit sessions will sit separate from sick sessions Cuz if guessing ur shit sending a mixed message Like kids hesitant, big evidence, he stressin. ______ TN: Vetted and jaded, these niggas heavily faded. [we faded] Chronically masterbated. Acting fast to say that we throwin shade [jerkin’ off] And perforating your ear drums like 6th grade band Orchestrating a chorus of history, exploring the man. ______ YS: I went from gun shots to hill tops (yup) Still sitting in broke spots. No glocks, and no pops, not even a flu shot. Cute bodies, and some new hotties in neat flocks. Laughing on my Woody Wood Pecker, “Knock, Knock” nigga ____ TN: “Knock, Knock” nigga, Run up on the block wit’ cha. Big City Slams ferda boys Letterkenny nigga [How are ya now?] Dogecoin GME stock investment fraud Robinhood figure. Streets of Gotham no good for ya. Call me Thor, cause I lay the hammer down good for ‘em. _____ YS: (ow, ow) I kept my nose in the sand, (yeah) But the cons never came, and my pros(e) rose up in advance. (yes it did) And these niggas can’t ever comprehend So I make deaf end like I’m taking a stand (my nigga) ____ TN: Stand up, all rise, no lies, we running the gauntlet, like Thanos. But the keys to success span an infinite piano. Thom Nook, Russian intelligence opposing the State, The Behring Strait, where I curve niggas stepping to the plate. ______ YS: It’s uh, Young Sensical, (yup) Young Astronomical, (uh-huh) Young always-touching-on-your-girl anatomical. Young Slick Rick, Young Storyteller, topical. Young Icy-As-Fuck-In-The-Bahamas, Young Tropical _____ (And you know how we do) [Doing Business] (Me and my crew and you) [Dobis] (That’s just what we do, nigga) [Dobis P.R.] (a-ha, ahahaha) [Dobis P.R., we doing business] [VIIIBE] [VIBRATION] [Gohan Blanco on the 1’s, and 2’s] [YoungSinsei, Thom Nook; we out]

(“Paging Dr. Seymour Butts”) (“Dr. Seymour Butts, please come to the Emergency Room”) Coronavirus. Bringer of death, like Osiris Cat caller of Karens, Blue Life-ers, MAGA hat wearers’ violence. Incited the riots that violently broke Darwin’s silence. No masks in sight, forecast of cloudy skies. The whites be trying to fight the White Messiahs The cries disguised to fry the minds of feeble liars; Y’all better believe they’ll try it. You ask politely, then they’ll definitely buy it. Not the mask but the culprits behind it. The sheep, the butterflies, and lotus blossoms; POTUS lost a vote of confidence that shows he stopped getting his corporate sponsors. The Q-Anon that y’all be on and on about. We chasing clout, we’re rainbow trout about to jump the dam. …oh damn that’s actually salmon, but we’re rhyming dammit. Hearts wide open, but arms quite folded and crossed like Bernie Sanders. Meme’d up like Ned Flanders, old like jazz standards . Let’s D.A.B. it out, destroy all bacteria, Eradicate the state of delirium. Discerning and learning the importance of earning as we go, We’re Tarantinos, Inglorious Basterds wreckin’ “Ze Germans” Spurning the current permafrost the Snowden tried to melt like ice caps Al Gore’s R-Rated environmental sexcapade escalating to a global scale. (Paging Dr. Ben Dover) (Dr. Ben Dover, please come to the ICU)

Thom Nook: Vapid affirmations of a third-rate poet; Sculpted and molded for noble purposes. These persons, rightfully persecuted by merchants of trade, tirading mascots for symbiotic ascot-wearing escapades. Spelunking through debunked mysteries, a crime mystic. Mystical quadratic equestrians leading the charge. Through thick and thin, commiscerated through an awful din; These men will surely win— A coup d’etat they find themselves admist. Les Mis, Les Mis they sing the songs of a peasant, Waiting in toe for the undertakers, illuminating phosphorescent hells. Abstract as a Rorschach swirling in a cold glass of Ovaltine, or thats the goal, I mean. (I mean….I mean… I mean…) The Rhetorician: 100 ways to beat the drum, I be flexing up my arms. Looking like ’01 Kobe, swear I can do this on my own. Poppin, dancing to Drake in my underwear; Girl you might be able to catch me outside. I said, the Po-Po flying drones, they beefing up the defense at home. Yeah, I understand the fight. Mind control be The Division type; My DNA don’t like them niggas who be on that Thomas Jeff foresight. Come together, come together! Left side, right side; Julius and Jerry putting energy back-and-forth, we got some things to say— Strange fruit got my people spending on the holidays. While we buyin’ J’s, we need to be buying stock. Living for the moment that Popeyes be smackin though; I’m fasting, and eating canned mackerel. (Uh) Hanes socks and Chucks at the fashion show. Longevity said serve the people, and you might be the last to go. (Uh, I said…) Longevity said serve the people and you might be the last to go. (Uh)

about

I've been playing with the idea of releasing some rap for a while, and I decided to finally do it, so here's my debut EP.

It's bite-sized, but a great way to test the waters.
