Categories: Audio, Jazz, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Alternative Hip-Hop, Eerf Evil, Funk, Jazztronica, Mom Tudie, Nu Jazz, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Jazz by Nagamag, United Kingdom|

“Η κεφάτη και ευχάριστη μελωδία φτιάχνει την διάθεση μας και μας κάνει πιο χαρούμενους. Τα ευκίνητα και γοητευτικά φωνητικά βρίσκονται σε μια αρμονική εγρήγορση άκρως επιτυχημένη. Το τολμηρό ύφος τους μας γεμίζει ενέργεια. Η ευχάριστη ατμόσφαιρα ολοκληρώνεται με τον γρήγορο και ζωηρό ρυθμό που μας κάνει να λικνιζόμαστε ανέμελα.”

Lyrics of Mom Tudie x Eerf Evil – Waste No Time

V1
Buss a zoom and drift
Tryna relax but it’s hard when you just got home from a late night shift All you wana do is
Is flop
Dreams of a parallel land somewhere by the sea where the rain can’t go They just wana take mans, wana take mans home
Life is a beautiful thing but it’s harder to sink when you wake up broke
I just wana, find yourself with love
Harder to feel when your down and you just woke up from a late night buzz
Chorus
I don’t wana waste no, no time tonight
Ima 2-step with the groove locked in and the moon in sight Come rain or, come rain or shine
They can never kill my joy cause it’s all in, and it all inside
X2
V2
Back to work at, I’m back to work at 8
Dream on pause when the big man says that your rent and your bills need paid
I just wana stay off, wana stay off-line
Easy to claim to be seen in a world where we’re known to be praising the blind
I Pray
Pray that you walk you walk safe
I pray for the vision your given it won’t change
Get in touch with the rhythm and don’t wait for the wave cause the way that we’re livings ok Pray when you walk you walk safe
I pray for the vision your given it won’t change
Get in touch with the rhythm and don’t wait for the wave cause the way that we’re livings ok
Chorus
I don’t wana waste no, no time tonight
Ima 2-step with the groove locked in and the moon in sight Come rain or, come rain or shine
They can never kill my joy cause it’s all in, and it all inside
X2
OUTRO
I don’t wana waste no
Ima 2-step with the groove locked in and the moon in sight
x4
I don’t wana waste no time

“Σε ένα ήρεμο περίπατο η όμορφη μελωδία με συνοδεύει και μου δείχνει την υπέροχη ανατολή του ήλιου. Με τα δυναμικά και πληθωρικά φωνητικά νιώθω να βγάζω φτερά και ανάλαφρα να πετώ πάνω από την πολύβουη πόλη. Ο ρυθμός με ξεσηκώνει και αποκτώ την χαμένη μου ενέργεια και όρεξη, βλέποντας τα πράγματα πιο καθαρά.”

Categories: Audio, Hip Hop, Song, Spotify, The Latest, Video, Youtube|Tags: Alternative Hip-Hop, Australia, BoomBap, Conscious Hip-Hop, Fredrick Red, Hip-hop, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Hip Hop by Nagamag|

“Όμορφα φωνητικά που με την γοητευτική επιθετικότητά τους μας παρασύρουν σε ένα μονοπάτι μυστηριακό. Η μοναδική μελωδία ξεχωρίζει και εξάπτει την φαντασία μας. Οι εναλλαγές της είναι τόσο πετυχημένες και αρμονικές. Ο ρυθμός με τη ζωντάνια του βγάζει προς τα έξω τα κρυμμένα συναισθήματα μας και μας απελευθερώνει.”

Lyrics of Fredrick Red – Growing Pains

Somebody told me they could save my life,
Saw in the stars what my future is,
And they could tell me bout it for a price,
To tell the truth I think they’re full of shit.
Everybody tryna make a buck,
We fantasize being ultra rich,
Man I’m just tryna keep my head afloat,
I may be down but I’ll never quit.

Yesterday I felt like giving up,
But that was only for a moment babe,
Sometimes I wonder if I’m good enough,
I guess I feel a little growing pain.
But today I put my phone away,
I got to work and I’m just rolling babe,
This crazy world can make you go insane,
I’m so glad I feel these growing pains,
I’m so glad I feel these

Brush my teeth,
Comb my hair,
Pluck my brow,
Sip my tea,
Life ain’t fair,
Hold me down,
Love is free,
Hate beware,
Woe is me,
Woe is me,
Woe is

Somebody told me that I’m out of touch,
I got no friends cuz I don’t reply,
They said that I don’t leave the house enough,
To tell the truth I think they’re probably right.
Everybody oughtta bite they tongue,
Do what you’re told, don’t be asking why,
The tall poppy gon lose a head,
I wish that I could follow my advice.

Brush my teeth,
Comb my hair,
Pluck my brow,
Sip my tea,
Life ain’t fair,
Hold me down,
Love is free,
Hate beware,
Woe is me,
Woe is me,
Woe is

“Με ένα ύφος διαμαρτυρίας τα φωνητικά και τον ξεχωριστό τρόπο έκφρασης τους δημιουργούν μια ελκυστική ατμόσφαιρα μυστηρίου. Η μελωδία με ένα αίσθημα φόβου και αγωνίας καταφέρνει να κεντρίσει το ενδιαφέρον μας και να μας κερδίσει. Ο ρυθμός σε ένα όμορφο παραλήρημα εναλλαγών μας φέρνει κοντά σε ένα νέο συναρπαστικό άκουσμα.”

Lyrics of Cold Camp x The Dirty Sample – Excellence – Radio Edit

Tossing chunks of porcelain, the glass spider
Up inside the night rider, we light tires, spin on ice, ignite sirens
Frozen smoke sit heavy
Nike puffy, Karl Kani denim up in the chevy
Raider hat, black out, too late to back out
4 track, two tables the mic get passed round
Railroad spikes in wooden bats
Shouldn’t ask, I wouldn’t laugh
Motorola phones, extra batteries, roaming zones
Pagers light up, Cherry lounge nights
Fighting at corner stores, boy
The ghost of the north
Out the cat walks with dime bags
Bus traps, paint cans and crime waves
Shit, they told us crime pays, so we did it
No kidding up in the kitchen whipping badder till it glisten
Hot knives on the stove top
The hash hit the skull like a cold caulk
Bowls out of pop cans
Alley ways and hilltops
I never did the rave thing, I never did the pill pop
That’s for real dog
A long way from chevy blazers smoked out
I ain’t down with coked out
Keep pushing get you choked out
Acting loc’d out
Thems the old days
The old ways of dealing with the pestilence
Now we living effortless, Excellent

We won the battle out the shadow of the black cloud
Life is good now
Let it pan out

Silva Spoonz, Crystal Vases
We on that A-List, feel like we made it
We shine like Blue Moon of Josephine
Cased inside a diamond bracelet
All black leather interior spaces
Fine fragrance, no limitation
Life is a fine wine I won’t stop till I’m wasted
I come to your house I don’t take my shoes off
I’m the new boss, got my suit on
Yo, We sippin’ with binkies out
High Society
Butler wanna take my coat
I hook him up a little extra for the family
It’s Christmas

I got the kind of drive
To still roll when I stall

Like a rolling ball
I’m scolding all you little Logan Pauls
Get a broken jaw
Dollar bills don’t fold at all
Joe Rogan bald
Start a commotion
I’m as cold and as deep as the Arctic Ocean
Lay you out stiff like a starfish frozen
Lamar Jackson throwin’ if the targets open
Let ’em know
I’m writin’ circles around ’em like the letter O
You never know, what day may be your last and then you go
follow the bright light
The definition of excellence
Life is just a test
This is my last will and testament
Better than the best that did it
Kill the beat, get arrested, then acquitted
Feel reborn like I found religion
but I didn’t
I ain’t been around the mission
Walk the promised land
They ain’t allowed to visit
Pursue the perfect music
Now that’s a sound decision

We won the battle out the shadow of the black cloud
Life is good now
Let it pan out

Categories: Audio, Hip Hop, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Abstract, Alternative Hip-Hop, Conscious Hip-Hop, Dylan Owen, Hip-hop, Pop Rap, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Hip Hop by Nagamag, United States|

“Η όμορφη νοσταλγική μελωδία μαζί με τον πιο γρήγορο και ζωντανό ρυθμό συνθέτουν ένα υπέροχο σκηνικό. Η μαγεία και η πραγματικότητα ταξιδεύουν πιασμένες χέρι με χέρι και μας προσφέρουν ένα μοναδικό αποτέλεσμα. Τα εκπληκτικά φωνητικά έρχονται για να απογειώσουν το κομμάτι με την ευκίνητη ροή τους και την ξεχωριστή χροιά τους.”

Lyrics of Dylan Owen x Abstract – True Colors

Yeah
Felt the blues
Till they went and turned my vision red
Held my breath till I was purple
Hoping what you said
Would coincide
Ride or die
You should have specified
Riding while the vibe was high
And left for dead in trying times
Settled for
Less than I deserved
I always knew it sure
But seeing all the best in people Is something that I need to cure
Something that I thought I learned
Every time I felt the burn
Love collecting wisdom
But the cost is more than what I earned
Painted every red flag green
Till it turned me blue
Moving on to better days
And skies to shine a better hue
Wishing that you could have seen
The colors that I painted you
Silver lining shined in every flaw
Like you would never do
Version that you never knew
Thought that’s how you saw me too
Oh
So I’ll confess it in the booth
I know my kind of heart
Is part of very few
Assigned you all these colors
It’s a shame that they were never true

I wanna see your true colors
When it gets dark we’ll be bright for each other
We all turn silver and gold
I wanna see your true colors
Now that we’re getting old
I’m saying
I wanna see your true colors
When it gets dark we’ll be bright for each other
We all turn silver and gold
I wanna see your true colors
Now that we’re getting old

We took a road trip Rolling stone souls west coast bound
Woke up new
In America’s Last Home Town
With the smoke from the SoCal mountains
Biting the dust
Silver and gold
Highway 101
We made it to Bixby Bridge
I thought about jumping off
Got white flags in my memory
That get stuck in my thoughts
But you are not lost
You are just misplaced on one map So fuck that
I would rather Take every photo
Like it’s my last roll of film
Find a pocket knife
Carve out my own free will
Savor the pink moments
And sunsets with no name
Cause you don’t get a purple heart For the inner conflicts you face
I am no historian
I just write it honestly
The rocky parts of life made me appreciate geology
The way the faces of the cliffs
Have sad expressions like ours
With their scabs and scars

“We are all mourning the passage of lost time”
She said
It took an indigo child to demystify my death
As I kissed her forehead under cotton candy skies
I looked directly into her brown eyes And I said

So if you get old before I do
Promise me you’ll let Your true colors shine through
Nothing gold can stay And our smiles sure fade
Hope you see the silver lining When your hair turns gray
So if you get old before I do
Promise me you’ll let Your true colors shine through
Nothing gold can stay And our smiles sure fade
Hope you see the silver lining When your hair turns gray
So if you get old before I do
Promise me you’ll let Your true colors shine through
Nothing gold can stay And our smiles sure fade
Hope you see the silver lining When your hair turns gray
Someday

Blood Drips – MoulD x Amaya Ω

Categories: Audio, Rock, Song, Spotify, The Latest, Video, Youtube|Tags: Alternative Hip-Hop, Alternative Rock, Amaya Ω, Cloud Hop, Cyprus, Emo Hip-Hop, Greece, MoulD, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Rock by Nagamag|

“Το δυναμικό, βραχνό και πληθωρικό ύφος των φωνητικών αναστατώνει τις αισθήσεις μας και δυναμιτίζει την διάθεση μας. Η τραχιά και σκληροπυρηνική μελωδία ανεβάζει την αδρεναλίνη και μας απελευθερώνει τόσο μοναδικά. Ο ρυθμός κυλά ήρεμα χωρίς να κρύβει το πάθος και το ταπεραμέντο του προσφέροντας ένα φανταστικό αποτέλεσμα.”

Lyrics of MoulD x Amaya Ω – Blood Drips

This seems like
A story about love
But wait to see
With your own eyes
The truth is clear
Oh baby
Just hold me tight
Till I’m out of breath

I say it in words But nothing really happens
I love and hate you at the same time
Maybe it’s me what’s holding you back
And makes you bleed

Touch my skin for the last time
For the last time make me crazy

Amaya’s verse

Τα φώτα έχουνε σβήσει
Τίτλοι τέλους για εμάς
Με το πιο γλυκό μεθύσι
Αυτή η φάση με τρελαίνει
Αίμα απ´ τη ψυχή μας βγαίνει
Και κανείς δεν καταλαβαίνει
Τι στο διάολο συμβαίνει
Και φτάνουμε δω

Μέσα μου να έρχεσαι να φλέγεσαι
Να καίγομαι να λιώνω
Κι ύστερα να σέρνομαι να κλεγομε
Να ουρλιάζω να θυμώνω

Μέσα σε κύκλους τοξικούς
Χορεύει το σώμα βολτάρει ο νους
Τα αισθήματα χώμα σκοτάδια παντού
Ίσως να ανθιζαμε μαζί κάπου άλλου
Μα ξεχνά τα όλα και νιώσε με μόνο

Our memories bleed
we should pay them a tribute
A moment of silence is enough
For them to be honoured

And I let you in
You close the doors for all the others
And I let you in
After all I’ve been through

And I left you in
You kept them close so no one bothers
And I left you in
After I bleed through

And I left you in
I lost my will and my intentions
And I left you in
After all I died for

“Η όμορφη και επιθετική μελωδία μας διασκεδάζει χωρίς όρια και μας βγάζει από την βαρετή ρουτίνα μας. Τα ευκίνητα και επιδέξια φωνητικά δημιουργούν μια απολαυστικά σκληροπυρηνική ατμόσφαιρα.

Lyrics of Samad Savage – REAL

Niggas ain’t real
That’s a cold fact
I’ma tell the whole truth never hold back
To the toe tag
And you know that
Some of you niggas ain’t real
That’s a cold fact
I’ma tell the whole truth never hold back
To the toe tag
And you know that
Some of you niggas ain’t real
Never be real as me
And you know that
That’s no kizzy
And you know that
And you- Uh
And you know that
Some of you niggas ain’t real
Never be real as me
And you know that
That’s no kizzy
And you know that
And you- Uh
And you know that

They be artificial, couldn’t make it through my hardest issues
Say they launching missiles when they wouldn’t even spark a pistol
Couldn’t scar a tissue or commit to give a harmless tickle
I can’t partner with you, eat alone before I’m starving with you
I would rather wait before I owe the bank
I could never fake it til I make it, put that on my chain
I’m get the silver if I can’t afford the platinum
Cause my pattern’s moving forward
I’m not into hustling backwards muhfucka
Every time from the heart where I speak
Not homophobic, but I never let my pride speak
Super confident, but they call it cocky
I be blocking hate thrown like my seat
And I got the crown like I top teeth
No antibiotic ain’t not ceiling to my moxie
Listen, I’m not the realest nigga ever
I’m just the realest right now, ain’t nobody better

AI realer then these niggas
May I say I’m realer than these niggas
I’m not the realest nigga ever
I’m just the realest right now, ain’t nobody better
AI realer then these niggas
May I say I’m realer than these niggas
I’m not the realest nigga ever
I’m just the realest right now, ain’t nobody better

they didn’t care about my emotions therefore I plow like a bulldozer
