I’m rapping to the slither of the snakes The movement of the scales as they’re clicking on the grains Paying close attention to the vibes Feel the worms are coming closer to the rude design Runes and lines A clue sublime inside this crucible I’m crucifying At the club with Medusa writhing, we choose assignments Truth is hiding and seekers secretly move with guidance Deaf to the sounds of trinkets plus the noose of diamond The fruits of titans tightening forbidden grips of death In the citadel they’re pacing back and forth with bitter steps The truth is undeniable, some can’t admit it yet Overseers surveying the scene from minarets The bait that is gleaned from a trap remains to tempt Mesopotamians run it back to main events Afraid of tense so the clock remaining unacknowledged Everything is in the now of a summer solace Some run unpolished a gauntlet onward abundant malice A hundred talismans beckon evidence run the chalice A shrunken palace in the palm of the wise Nodding to the masters that had taught them the lies Labor’s fruits left to die on vines of apathy Raise the roof, testify divine the majesty And nothing’s going on but the emperor’s new clothes A steady diet of loopholes and fructose Pursuit’s goals in Rosetta Stones of melatonin Crumbled fragments of jumbled maggots and jealous omens At the mouth of madness, I’m watching zealots phone in Foaming at the vocal patterns of a noble savage Behold the hazard, of an appetite unrecognized Guillotine blades and hunger pangs, beset the tribes A bloody basket with the weave that needs the freshest knives Bestseller with the flesh to press anesthetized

Explicit Mass Productions makes bangers, his work was the backbone of VLTR KMBT. When we came up with the idea of building something, there was the present the idea of not wanting to tread previous ground. As I explained to Dan O of FreeMusicEmpire.com , I'd likely rap in a British accent before dusting off my Ghostface impression. Find within here a variety, all pulled together with that flavorful multitooled Explict Mass Productions flair. His beats are like The Big Lebowski rug.
