Lyrics:
Blind before I Eyed the divine scroll
Praise Yah, guide inside the body & my soul
Even when life
A camode, try to uphold
In Yah never fold, cause in Him I am whole,
Behold as the plot grows, jot notes
off the top soak as the lines coast
while others boast with a cot close
Knots froze, stride cold as snot nose
Idle ties had to divide those before the demise dose
No time to get right if ya mind closed
Optimist in the prime stole, time goes
striving thru woes, smiling cause the light in me knows
He will eventually lightened the load, ironed my clothes
Heat of depression testing a blessing, inside the abode (sheltered)
When Messiah is home Tyrant titan dethroned
Inspired the flow light in a poem solemnly script
Departed from modern Sodom, prominent pitch
Even when at the bottom was Solomon rich
Problems Yah calmed them, slalom with Bics
Tithes rendered from guise, listener tender eyes
Incentivize a sinners lies, center tied in splendor why
Truth smeared so my peers fried, dear Yah
Instead of life in they sight, mind in a phone..
homing device, Satan’s plight for mining a clone
home with no light, spirit invite, diligent strikes
Appearing spike….time for healing appealing to life

For Kanon.
LNR_[05] is the fifth installment in my “Late Night Ramen” beat tape series. The title is a nod to bsd.u’s ‘Late Night Bumps’ series. Most of these songs are loosies that won’t make it to my upcoming album ‘Sagrada’ but it’s been about three years or so since I dropped my last one and a lot has happened since. I guess I was just struggling with what I wanted this tape to be or what I wanted this series to become. I tried bundling a few of my loosies together throughout that time but none of the tracklists seemed to make sense in my head. I felt like there was a larger story that needed to be told and more time to let unfold. There were times when I thought of scrapping the ‘Late Night Ramen’ series altogether, fearing I had grown out of what I had initially wanted the series to be or look like. But I realized that’s all attachment. There is no mirror. I was attaching myself to the illusion of what I wanted the series to be. With each ‘LNR’ release I was trying to outdo the previous one so what started off as a fun compilation of random loosies that I wanted to share and didn’t think twice about quickly became a series of albums that I took more and more seriously, with each increasing my expectations and diverting from its original intention.
As I grew as a songwriter, I started to produced less demos because I was taking my time with songwriting and more songs started to become album worthy in my eyes or at least not ‘right’ for a ‘LNR’ release. I had to take a step back and remind myself of what I wanted the series to be: A platform for me to experiment with new and unexpected sounds. So in that same vein, I wanted to step outside of content and look at form itself. I was listening to a lot of avant-garde music like John Cage and have always admired how he didn’t have any boundaries on what he considered music, constantly pushing the definition of music in both form and sound. I also appreciated the Zen Buddhist nature of his pieces, many of which force you to sit in silence and be present (whether you like it or not). Many of the songs on this album continue my recent obsession with this concept and that found on The Beatles’ ‘White Album’, finding perfection in the flawed, being present and capturing the magic of first intention and pursuing a sketch-like attitude towards my music. It’s hard for me to distinguish the line between minimalism and sloth but I’m trying to become better at listening to my gut and trusting the process..which is very difficult for a perfectionist like me.
