1.	breakdown 02:06	lyrics
I’ve been around for a bit Seen that shit ain’t really that different When I’m high I share sentiment When I’m high I’m more than diligent You are wasting your confidence Goes to show a lack of intelligence Selling out to receive reverence Cash flow making you think you’re competent I got to think you were a reference Used to daydream driving with you on the pavement Now I don’t daydream often I’m waiting for the blow to soften Intention to rise above the coven My tunes someday will be golden Staring at chicken in the oven Looked away and got my rhymes stolen I feel lost without a purpose Independent barely anyone rooting for us Spliff burning damaging the thorax Still dissolving that blues giving courage Giving in to every vice that would encourage Too many wonders in life I haven’t discovered Have kept it together so far, in the sofa Playing Cyberpunk and drinking spiked soda You’ll never hear me playing a wack coda Straight punk from minute one Fast swing, modern jazz, the suits done Genocide approved and condoned The West only fears war in their own home They’ll kill families with high-speed drones While LA and London enjoy organic ice cream cones
2.	sun fuzz 01:18	lyrics
Hey hey hey here we go again Dusted stoned running in the rain Turn up the sustain Seems like nothing going up in your brain Cadence, bring up the gain No one’s making shit like this tape Timing’s wrong, I’m way ahead Turning from a poet to a marionette I will stand by the people No matter how high the net You are just a just a fucking nerd Addicted to the internet Don’t give a fuck about beef I’m just getting stoned Laying in bed drinking and rapping to my microphone Check your head Something may be wrong I learned to be cool a fucking long-ass time ago Making modern jazz and listening to hip hop You nerds have a long way to go
3.	come to me 02:03	lyrics
Starting up on the level All fucked up on the pedal Give me a break I don’t need a medal I’m just riding down til I hit the metal Salesmen delivering the pitch Cargo breaking down in a ditch Out in Shoreditch, smoke up and down There ain’t gonna be a pound left in this town I’m getting around my lines will knock you down Wrote them in a stream of consciousness vomit Hitting harder than The Chronic Through the abstract to the tonic No matter how long you stay on it I need the poison in the morning I really mean it like the longing One step ahead and I’m burnin Hosing down my problems and I’m yearning Still think about you everyday Maybe sometimes you think of me the same Can’t believe I let you get away Things just did not go my way Always wanted to move to LA Be co-stars of our own fairytale Reality hits harder by the minute I’m starting to feel like Colt Bennet Weed hidden out in a fucking cabinet Had to throw myself and search it Found it rolled it and smoked it I toasted to us flying out on a rocket I hate being corny but I’m about to hit it I will go to mars with you and populate it
4.	PNG 01:35	lyrics
Don’t know who to trust Weed turned into dust Gotta root for us Like my man Tomás Running like The Flash Drinking from a flask Love the villain with the mask Rapping down a task So many flows up my arm Countries have to disarm The west wants arms They will turn the alarms I retire to the farms Tranquility shows its charms Back to the poison I need I clean my ashtray once a week Heavy on the dosage Reckless on the image Gotta pass the message Humans empowered by the usage Economists looking at percentages While the lonely read passages The rich enjoy privilege Go go go! x3 Go, motherfucking go!

3am putting this down Hopeless romantic coming to your town Outsider makes traditionalists frown Sampled this from a spiritual clown On the stage make the audience go wow Don’t expect a gear run-down I’d rather we go party downtown Let’s keep it on til the early dawn Spliff makes the room thinner Didn’t know that I was gonna be a sinner Against the system like a villain Wished Fidel would give me a cigar I’m about to fuck the whole shit up Capitalists want their pockets bigger For money the will pull the trigger We need change, time to deliver There are too many options to consider Capitalism has killed young dreams Stuck in a rut it’s easier than it seems Barely getting paid for my streams Laying down beats that are unclean Still listening to Jackie McLean Makes me wanna be keen Give back to the world what it has given me Time’s up to wrap up the show Global warming getting rid of snow Houses and hospitals getting blown Let’s fight back, for those that will come
7.	space democracy 02:13	lyrics
It’s been a long time coming to where I am Practicing often until the early sun Never forget to have some fun Make wack musicians wanna run Taking out MCs that are fake like plastic Chill out homie you look a bit spastic You got lights, smoke, and choreography Still your music is wack like geometry I don’t give a fuck about trends I’ll put you on the floor in a judo stint Stopped caring what people may think And let me tell you I’m loving it Stressed out by friends and family They wanna find a way out of my agony My neck used to be mahogany And I am coming after every single enemy Wake up friend it’s time to hit the station Been traveling through space in your direction Off that hydro-kush I grow in a compartment All the crew vibing high in my apartment We be playing Sly to set the tone Even aliens at Port 42 dig the Stone Practicing radical space democracy Can’t stand earthly capitalist hypocrisy Pack your bags and eat breakfast fast Today we are traveling to the stars Forget about the things that have past Time to enjoy smoking some grass Never get tired of kicking it in space Always meet new friends like Stoney Chase We traveled far and far away The poor guy got lost along the Milky Way
8.	interlude 01:44	lyrics
Thank you for listening I hope you are enjoying the ride Through the world of music Sampling Disappearing Into the silence So grab your beer Grab your weed Sit back And put your seatbelt on motherfucker
9.	change 01:41	lyrics
Chilling out to the groove of the sunset Made some veggies that I haven’t eaten yet Holding a spliff looking on to the landscape Trees fill up a colorful mindset I am tired of feeling helpless Time to hold the pen and get restless Too many thoughts, all coming together Smoking the woods, light as a feather We must believe that change is for the better I did fuck up when I was young and naive It feels good growing up it’s a relief Now I know the light I’ll never see An artist working it out for you and me Putting out whichever fire I come across Neo-hippie to the core I don’t need a cross Slowly turning into an apathetic ghost We are free in our minds I find solace in writing rhymes Playing around with squares and sines Walking away from the shining shrines Cold wind is dope in the summertime Experimental and commie my favorite kind We can’t accept the brutal signs Of societies way behind their prime Estranged labor and a lack of spare time We do what we can do to survive
10.	corner store weed 01:30	lyrics
Rainy day, walking down the block Listening to DJ Blackpower on lock I remember times when I wanted to rock Now I go from jazz to hardcore hip hop Spliff spins the room to the golden sound The patio feels the booming of the underground I got love for all artists in this town Music shining as the spliff goes round Brewing up a no-hitter on the mound Catch a breath and you’re in it again Digging up sounds from an astral plane I’m lying on the forest on a hydroplane Rocking beats shaking the terrain Bullshit you better abstain Don’t have enough space in my brain Focus steady as a midnight train Sleep more than I need everyday I have nightmares that just drive me insane Like I am rocking the Shag no fade Ended up somewhere in space Back driving through the suburbs of San Jose And I’m buying weed at the corner store man

about

Roope Aalto teams up with Daniel once again for a fascinating experimental hip hop mixtape.

The Finnish rapper/musician delivers sharp social commentary amongst surreal images from a multitude of origins in a Quasimoto-inspired high-pitched voice. Daniel's production pushes the record towards "outsider" territory, using a jazz sample-based style collaging disparate elements. The sound is raw and dirty, with tons of distortion for Roope to spit electrics over.
