"Starin at the man in the mirror
Working on a plan, trying to see em all clearer
I keep expanding but the finish line ain't getting nearer
My death is closing in but I don't care cause I don't fear it
Cause I know it don't stop even if I perish
I keep focussing, persevering through the lyrics
Stearin like a Lear over the pacific,
Gotta find my peers and my kindred spirits...
Earth, fire, wood, metal, monk-like focus,
Boom! Shaolin Temple
I ain't comin down the mountain til I finish my vision
Nothing but the truth, all I do is spit knowledge
Play by different rules this is quantum physics
Make music from the heart and sell a record a day…
or go pop and go platinum with nothing to say
As long as I keep dancin then I'll always be paid
Move like jet streams…
Prepared to give it what it means so I'm sure I get it
Liven by the minute cause the moment's all I'm given
Got no time for gimmicks, I stay on my mission
My mind is a diamond, and I'm mindin my business
Can my actions manifest the dreams we have for us all?
Will the passion that I have outlast the rest of the storm?
Will I weather it and better myself then pass it along?
Will I weather even the presence after I'm gone?
Move like jet streams…
(Only that real hip hop)
I have to be strong, I have to go hard
Cause bein average or passive-aggressive won't pass at all, come on!
So I just shine like that, I rhyme like that
No propositions, just my thoughts at any given time in the moment..."
One of the most stunningly cinematic and deep ambient records in my collection. A true work of passion by my friend Julien with enormous heart and personality, including brilliant videos. Skytree
Very much true to its name, this record journeys across a range of landscapes with the artist as the unifying whole. Perfect for folks that also love Tycho, BoC, Lone and lofi/synthwave. Skytree
Philadelphia's Starkey operates in his own head-spinning sonic universe, blending laser-like pinpricks of sound with tripping rhythms. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2016
