Hip Hop Lyrics

Image: Cover Art for Soy un Animal by The Sunset Kid
You know I stay killing it.
Big Stoak the Most Villainous.
It’s unbelievable. You can’t believe how real it is.
I know you’re feeling it.
I’m sealing the deal. The show, I’m stealing it.
Like a thief in the night. Making it look easy. Yes, I’m breezing it.
These fools don’t know?
Everywhere I go,
I bring that crazy, super fly flow.
It comes so
natural.
Basic instinct. Animal.
I fire rockets, missiles, and cannon balls.
Steady drop heavy like Niagara Falls.
Baptize rap guys like Biggie Smalls.
Raise the roof. Bring down the walls.
Let’s go.
Welcome to my expo.
Doing my thing on the instrumental.
Change of tempo
but still got the ill flow
and dudes full of ego
still act like they don’t know.
My style’s all-pro.
Never sounding like so-and-so.
What these assholes stay playing on the radio.
That’s a huge no-no
for the Kid. No tengo
tiempo
para eso.
Soy un animal.

New Music – Soy un Animal by The Sunset Kid

Here is my latest. Beat by Stradivarius. This one is in memory of my cousin, P-Nut, who passed away suddenly on September 28, 2013. 2 years ago this month (May), we were in Brooklyn on our way up to Avenue U to get some good Chinese food. On the way, I let him hear some of the new music I was working on, and at one point he asked me why I always rap slow. Little did he know that I had already written and recorded the first verse of Soy un Animal, and that my flow on this track was a bit more up-tempo than he was used to hearing from me. I didn’t say anything about it to him, but I couldn’t wait to finish up work on the song so that he could hear it and give me some feedback. He passed on before the song was done, though, and so he never did get a chance to give it a listen. That is why I have dedicated it to his memory. He was one of the first people to introduce me to hip hop way back in the early 80s, b-boying on cardboard in front of my house on 4th Ave in Brooklyn, reciting the lyrics to La Di Da Di on our way home from Sunset Park pool. So many memories. A very huge influence. My big bro! I love you!  Rest in peace, cuzzo!!

Some New Logotypes

Here are some new logotypes I created recently. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the music. I’ve still got that track I had said I would put out last July on deck. It’ll be dropping in a few weeks, and this time I mean it. 🙂

Eating Good in the Neighborhood

This is how it went down for dinner yesterday on the block. I’d tell you the name of the place, but it seems to change every 2 or 3 years. The food is always slamming, though, at 4413 4th Ave in Brooklyn. Shit is mad serious

Although I am no longer a church-goer, I was pretty much raised in this church, and always liked the imagery of St. Michael crushing Satan. I took this photo back in 2007. If I remember correctly, the statue used be gold in color. Don’t know why they painted it gray.
