This CD is beautiful. Do you know why? It's because Shane Joines made some crazy artwork and then Chef Mike whipped it up in the graphic wizard kitchen and came up with the magicalness that is this CD. There are 50 CDs like this in the world, a handful have already gone to collaborators and folks on my mailing list who swooped it early, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO CLICK BELOW TO SEE HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY AVAILABLE. I like being small, so you won't find me doing a repress. You want one? Get it! Got it? Good.

I love Kashal-Tee. That's my man, one of my best friends, my mentor, and so much more. This song is my heart.
lyrics
At 1:39, you’ll find me playing Annie Lennox
Saying rest in peace to Big L, the man he set it
Cold blooded with the callous ways of dope
Some shoot the gift, but never calibrate the scope
Charles Ridenhour with the logo in the crosshairs
Rap with with two Ps and the style with boss flair
Liner notes provided nights of dopeness for me
Planting seeds to build the me you see performing
The beast was dormant, but now its time’s upon us
If I’ve truly got a gift, how can I deny the promise?
The night before I recorded my first song, it’s all I thought of
I can’t let this go to waste
Making no mistakes
I’m amazed I slept at all, took the train to see Erase
Broke bread with Kashal-Tee, and shook the walls
Bones in the Closet studio I’m leaving with a tape
Play it in the walkman when returning on the train
It was 2 on 2 basketball in black Filas
A boombox playing instrumentals that’s the realest
Walking nights, freestyling with my man
Learning how to show you exactly who I am
And all those years have passed, but the moment never fades
My core memories of friendship to resonate
I’m blessing breaks to this day thanks to Kash’s guidance
So I don’t take this lightly when I’m masterminding
My path of rhyming, forever a student that’s the writing
You’ll find the wall, you better run through and smash it mighty
I tell myself that others may not see it the same way
So I try to give my all with this and stay sane
Rap’s a way for me process all that madness that appears
I do this strictly for the love, there is no status here
A statistician crunching digits with the thumb screws
That isn’t me, I’m just a rapper on the one twos
Chumzilla got the beats that Imma run through
And leave my mark within this moment, let it come soon
That inspiration is the gift, the fire driving me
I hope you find the things you love, no longer hide and seek
Started following Juga-Naut upon hearing him break down life and rap relating to Kool G Rap on Crate808 and I've been a fan since. Wordplay, skill, the dope backdrops, what's not to love? Sankofa
