luv461 Seeing Through It

Seeing Through It

we gotta see through all the lies. we gotta see through all the ads. we gotta see through all the greed. we gotta see through all the misinformation. we gotta see through all the narcissism. we gotta see through all the money. we gotta see through all the hate. seeing through it is not the hard part, the hard part is what to do about what you’ve seen because once seen it cannot be unseen.

Hovering Above Unhindered And Shifty

the free flow beats on this mixtape hover just above 150 bpm as the sweet daddy slips and slides between juke, dubstep, breaks, drum’n’bass, idm, and even some sped up trip hop creating jacked up robot rock for future generations to enjoy.
