It's just myself on the vocals alongside my good man Mr Bleezy "Alex Blood" Breeze Block who has produced most of the beats on the album, all of which are slick, self-composed, emotive gems.
Influences
Tupac Shakur due to his pure passion and self-beleif, the guy knew what was going on around him and laid it all out, wasn't afraid to contradict himself and show the myriad of characteristics that made him the cultural icon that he is. Then, through Bleezy, I discovered Gangstarr. The Moment of Truth album just blew me away and the track "Moment of Truth" came into my life at a time when it was really needed and beleive it or not really picked me up. For me its all about the lyrics, I've always been deep into what an MC is talking about, what they beleive, what insights they can give me and on that level it's been all about Public Enemy, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, KRS-One, Aceyalone, Nas, all of those poetic heads that could tell it like it is.
Hip Hop aside it's been about those artists I grew up listening to. Jacko's a genius and in my opinion massively misunderstood, the guys a product of a pretty fucked up childhood, his pops exploited him and his siblings hard, working them like slaves without allowing them to do the things most kids love doing. It's dark. Then there's The Levellers, fellow anarchists who in my opinion are one of the most enjoyable, politically on point bands about. These days I listen mostly to the kind of Hip Hop that stretches me, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, that kind of shit. To me Slug out of Atmosphere is probably the best lyricist I've ever heard, pure poetry that works on every level in a different way for every person.
Sounds Like
A passionately confused young male comin' straight outta suburban Spondon.
I tread this naked wasteland open minded as I make plans
Eager to shake hands with the nature which dictates mans
different ways in which he perceives the same sands
savour the moment or be confined by your game plan
I take a taste of these ancient faiths
my spirit shakes every time I see a strong will fade
I will embrace any hate hoping deep to relate
with the underlying pain and the reason it was raised
the sun will dry the rain when the thunder strikes again
so be brave and have faith in the harmony of nature
the karma that's created by starving for the sake of
the harvest when the hardship is much greater than the gain so
I take aim, press my grind against the grain
reclaiming time to change my name and separate fire from the flames,
enslaved yet inspired by the way we recreate
our society each time we breathe and nothing stays the same – become the change

R Kelly asked me Why do they tell you its not about size.You and i know that is pure bull j-low,I had an experience like this my self.Im going to tell you something that i was asked not to leak out but my so called friend hasent called me for sometime now since he's been busy or annoyed about a fake myspace i did of him.,wink wink.Ok he went from having a small yang to a monster in no time at all.he has put on three and a half inches in a short time ,an get this it's still getting bigger.He has been secretly taking these tabs from DEPROGRAMMED.CO.UK copy and paste the address into your browser.I found out when I was at his flat, three saturdays ago, we were getting ready to go to the music shop, so while he was in the can, I went in his room, looked under his bed and found a bag with tabs in it, there was like eight full packs and four empty ones, all ordered from DEPROGRAMMED.CO.UK I thought it was funny at first but then when he came out and saw me looking at them, he lost it and told me to never let his little secret out,especially chicks that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the honeys in the zone, when just a while back he was lost when it came to females.I diden't believe him until he layed it all on the table (literally), I did see his stick and yes, it is huge,really huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen (apart from J-leuis).
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering eighteen packs from the website at DEPROGRAMMED.CO.UK for yours trully.. he does have a web page, so he is gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or woman.... or they give you your money back,Im living proof that they do work on any guy, see for your self.DEPROGRAMMED.CO.UK .. oh yeah bredda and dont forget about da crib b*tches and the summerhouse cityzen babes,, reeespect.. p.jiggalow

crib bitches don't tell the truth about what they think.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that gaelan has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow jells from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them.LOSMO.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with jell bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from LOSMO.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his package and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at LOSMO.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing.LOSMO.COM
