-Welcome to the song tape. Sorry for the long wait. -Got myself together I was headed down the wrong way. -Listenin when yall say, Brad's uptight. -But I been workin every night to get these tracks done right. -Quarter pint in my hand, with a stog in my mouth. -Celebratin that I made it while Im toastin the doubt. -All these haters never had me, I been holdin it down. -Makin music on a budget, all alone in my house. ---------------------------------------------------------------- :48 -Breathe through the present. Bleed through the pen tip. -Wont support a movement 'less I see the resemblence. -I need to respect it and believe in the message. -Cuz I've never dropped a stack or felt the heat of a weapon. -It seems kinda senseless, to go about that swag rap. -You've never killed somebody or rolled around in a Maybach. -Believe me when I say that I was put here to make that. -Music I live through and lyrics that ill never take back. -I straight jab and right hook the record label embassy. -Make tracks and write hooks to vent about whats stressin me. -Take rap and and I put a touch on it youve never seen. -Yall hate that? Shit, I would if I was full of jealousy. -Uh. I'm never listening to negative. -People hate on me because I'm lyrically intelligent. -They're bound to hate again we all know history's repetitive. -And even if I win we all know victory is relative. -The symphony is eloquent. Orchestrate the sound up. -Salute to all the fans , middle finger if you doubt us. -I just wanna transform lives and make a crowd jump. -And smile cuz I know I built it all from the ground up. -You think that I ain't workin at my craft that's a mistake. -I just pulled an all nighter straight the last 6 days. -Hours spent on minutes all to guarantee that it's great. -Buddy this is Summer Sessions, welcome to the mixtape.

Pen and pad it when I write, til I'm crashin every night. Yet I don't have a lot of hype because I rap about my life. Settle for making bangers just try to grab a little light. Yet I don't feel right inside like I'm clashin with my psych-e -e, Jeeze. These- rats avid out to get me. Attackin with their plans, I'm never crackin like I'm flimsy. Steady making everybody clap like a dis-ease. Burnin every track the damn lab needs a chimney. People got it wrong when they follow dudes in a character. So solemn choosin errant of chronic, juice and hysteria. The blind truth aint aparent to toxic youth of America. I dont get the math of blindy wanderin through all the barren rough. So I'm tearin up, papers full of garbage words. Cuz that easy living style is the hardest earned. The sharpest turns curve the search of what an artist yearns. I'll keep it true to self until my body burns and heart is urned.

Nothin's changed. I hope it would. Cuz honestly I'm overlooked. But when it comes to all this rhymin man I swear to u I wrote the book. Surrounded by generic wack flows and fuckin bogus hooks. Bows and hooks, throw em if they talkin at me sideways. Vibrate they world make they eyes shake and dilate. When it comes to all these rappers I'm a high 8 like MySpace. In the studio at my place goin apeshit like a primate. (:59) - (1:12) = 13 seconds / 93 syllables = 7.15 sps Flow like a cyclone.

Soul like a vinyl. 10 Soon enough I'll be around the globe like a timezone. 13 Flav like a ribo. Game like an iPhone. 10 Better recognize or feel the bang from the rifle. 13 (1:13) - (1:28) = 15 seconds / 112 syllables = 7.5 sps Floss like a dentist when I Hauk it and spit it. 12 Find a little rhythm bet I'm fuckin lost in a minute. 15 Awesome and different.

Then let it shake. Just drop it back and elevate. -We party fat like heavyweights. There's not a chance I'll let it fade. -Who'd a thought that I'd a made it on this path? -So many haters talkin trash but I shake em like a hand. -Uhhh. I'm only here to change the game and make it last. -So let's get crazy while we can baby raise another glass. hook 1:00 They all tell me I wont make it. They dont hear me when I'm sayin. That this time is of the essence all I want is to be famous. I'm not workin for a payment. I ain't burnin up my paper. I got dreams and I'mma chase em but for now I'm gettin wasted. (deep voice effect) Drank im my cup, drank drank in my cup.

I might be fly like paper planes. But I keep it down to earth like a craton or a plate. You won't find me in the air, I'll be layin on a train. Cuz the night before was crazy. Hangover insane. I keep it jumpin like its double dutch. Muckin up the puddle trouble doesnt wanna fuck with us. Muster up a clusterfuck of subtle puns and other stuff. Sproutin up in Sconnie, home of the Badgers like its Hufflepuff. Hi. I keep the crowds moving like an avalanche. Looking dapper Dan but my last name isn't Rather, damn. Ampersand, people always ask like "Have you had it man?" Had it WHAT? Smackin ass is standard to a Packer fan. Cattle brand the competition, treat em like an Elk butt. Damage oppostion, hucking bodies down a well, um. Well, yup. Started off small and then developed. Now we're rolling deep like every ripple on Adele's gut. ------------------------------------------------------------------ What am I? Spittin proper like a polo. Got em leanin like a cholo but I'm whiter than a ghost, yo. Haters bouncin on my dick like its a motherfuckin pogo. Fakes really only die once - thats the motto boy, FRODO. OH NO. Youll never ever catch me with a rollo. I been dreamin of pushin the SL benzy with the no do'. Fo sho. All black blending with the po po. With a couple bad bitches steady yellin out like YOLO. In the back drop. Little bit of venom in a damn shot. Little bit tired but I cant stop. Rap hot. Havoc. Brad got. Damn. Flow crazy. So brazen. Y'all already know baby. Body any beat and tie the knot on it and toe tag it. Ay its bedtime for these wack dudes. Headlines for these shampoos. This mattress and a couple pillows filled with feathers like a damn goose. Kinda Bipolar but I aint talkin about them white bears. So if you sleepin on me bet that I'mma haunt your nightmares.

I swear, I love the city I was raised in. That US Bank tip, to that third ward pavement. Drivin on that brick over Prospect and Mason. Then linkin up with Lincoln watchin birds fly the waves in. Invented tailgaitin. Back at County Stadium. Brewers leadin rallies, makin sacrifice and play to win. That's the way it is, there aint no other city greater than. I wear it proudly on my sleeve no matter what the state I'm in. Amazin. I feel connected every time I roll in. Eyein up the Skyline drivin on the Hoan Bridge. Cruisin downtown night time fulla dopeness. This city is amazin but the population knows this. :58 Pause for a second- you can hear the city breathe. With it's heart thump-thumpin every single little beat. Kept me down to earth, brought me alive is what it did to me. I been here since my birth, I wouldn't mind another twenty three. 1:10 Speaking honestly, no lie. Ain't a city like it, Boston to the otherside. Everybody take an "M". Toss it in the sky. Milwaukee raised us. Milwaukee til we die. credits from #SummerSessions, released 01 September 2012 Special Thank You to Bobby Woody. I can't thank you enough for every little thing you've done to help out.

(BKnitts) They all tell me Imma hit it big in time. If I sit a bit in line and never quit it with the grind. Lately I been gettin sicker in my mind. They all think I'm doin fine. But I can't picture me in five. Years. My god, where does all the time go. Life is passin by me every single time my eyes close. Blindfold - coverin up everything that I know. Gotta stay determined, keep my footing on the right road. High hopes. I go stretchin for morality. Everybody's after me but never gonna capture me. If livin is a dream then maybe death is my reality. Open up your eyes and let the bevel of the canvas bleed. Drip drop. Oil steady meltin on the easel. Hip hop. Keepin me from delvin in the evil. It's why you'll never find me dwellin on the regal. The fans are like a mirror I see myself in all the people. HOOK: Goes just once. We put our hands up (hands up) to the sky and try and hold it. The world is ours if we just live it right and focus. My name is mine but I want everyone to know it. Ill keep on grindin til I'm golden while I thrive inside the moment. (Eske) Uh, it's been awhile since I stepped up to the mic last. 'Cuz searching for employment's got me feeling straight gassed. I've finished class, but feel like shit when I'm asked, "What's your plan after you get that piece of paper that says you passed. I see my classmates snagging full-time positions. Yet I try and try again with ten times their own ambition. I swear that it's my mission to improve my own condition. But the studio's the only place I smoke the competition. So I question if I spent my money well. 'Cuz diplomas don't mean shit if these employers aren't compelled. 'Til then, I'm Beasting on the track, and chillin' with my Belle. Insecurity's a place in which your thoughts should never dwell. I'm just waiting 'til I'm right inside that moment. Feeling like I'm Ceaser when compared to all these Romans. I know that all these omens will be broken once I've spoken. With this mic, I'm ponyboy, and you can bet that I'll be golden. HOOK (Bobby Woody) I want my moment. I want your view to catch a hold of it. Ain't nothing gon be bogus. This ain't no hocus pocus. Dudes get famous. The night ain't over. Look over ya shoulder. Dreambustas stay takin tollahs. You ain't even half made it. They already wanna take yo life. I tell em just gimme the knife. I will be the maker of my own light. I will be the taker of my own strife. I'm finally gon have home, right? I find it kinda funny and find it kinda sad, but the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. I wanna come across this moment and own it like I wrote it. Now you know this. I'm ready to go go like Twoiney Lo is, but I'll show no emotion, so I can't have my face stolen like that dude Koh and And I try to relax, but I got to do a little more. You never met Bobby. Homey, you do not know Brad. Homey, you do not know Matt and this life you not about daat. I'm from the state of the crab and g's is Chinese Mittens, but me I'm just a Squidward in a world full of Squilliams

Are you sinkin, are you swimmin? Or are you thinkin of a vision about plankin on a million? Are you a livin spittin image or just another victim? Or spittin on the image cuz you're different and you're driven. Don't go blinkin you might miss it this is everything you're hoping for Dont go drinkin and start trippin over things already spoke before. What they're spittin isn't differnt, I don't know what yall condone it for. They prolly thought they had it all on LOCK until I broke the door. ------------------------------------- 1:07 -I'm not a puppet, in fact I'm quite the opposite. -You're trapped inside the mob and simply captured like a hostage is. -Battle with the thought of just, activating common sense. -Rather than lacking confidence and blackin out and vomitin. --------------------------------------------------- -You want change? You gotta get out there and grab it. -Evaluate your life and altercate if it aint valid. -You need a worthy challenge. If I'm lyin come and tell me. -I'll be ridin in that whale puttin that fire in it's belly.

(BKnitts) Finally back in from my last tape, baby did you miss me? I be lackin hella fanbase, maybe you should quit, B. Bitch please. This steeze? Holier than Swiss cheese. It ain't a mystery just give the victory to Knitts B. I mean B Knitts. Easily the meanest. People hear the heathen be screamin like Sweet Jesus. (echo) YUCCKKKK (laughter) - flow make ya wanna vomit now. Jottin down words eatin curds with a Spotted Cow. Without a doubt, lava flow burnin my mouth. Murder a crowd of wacks thats what this verse is about. You're the type of fuckin dude I rap a circle around. Pumpin the track fulla swag til bursts then I'm out. (echo) PSYCH. Got you lookin stupid. Dufus - Don't bother fuckin hatin on the new kid. Ruthless, every time I'm workin on my music. If you think you do it better than me holler back and Prove it. HOOK (Yung Fusion) • I'm so accurate I can shoot the stem off an apple's head • ricochet that arrow and, have it come back and hit • a bull in the eyes while I'm closing mine - hands tied tight tighter than my rhymes • Running wild in the amazon, banging on some hollow logs, • Bout to have a real wild party with the madagascar animals - And cannibals who turn rappers into sushi roles • Stupid flows make me look so smart my forehead glows! • punchlines , kick lines , hard enough to kill guys • a ninja when i spit rhymes, sea snake man I'm slick like • Fly flu I'm sick like , stand tall I'm 6 high • You go in I'm inside, mole rati dig like • Go down bass low, you go down K.O • I'm so dope you snort me get high no rainbows • But i end this straight gold • Then stack dough like leggos • And rap flows like egg rolls • You want some?...hell no!

-Stuck in a room full of clones, so I rose, like J. Lin. -Crowded in these rows, so I Rose like Jalen. -Find me floatin next to pros with my prose adjacent. -Music made me grow so you know I'll do the same thing. -Toes on the pavement, grippin not to finish last. -Gettin mad cuz skippin class that reason that I didn't pass. -Thinkin back, I wasnt even learning, I was gettin past. -Sister sayin this and that? Thinkin that I'm trippin? Damn. -Started as a Sophomore, y'all can call it middle class. -Started as a Sophomore, now I'm whippin ass. -But wait. Flip it back. Hit em with that different rap. -Music saved my life so understand that I'ma give it back. -Forever humble, don't forget I'm not important. -I speak for everything I love when I'm recooording. -Never taking shorties on that rocky road to glory. -Cause if I don't tell my story someone else will tell it for me.
12.
Convo: F:Hello? M:Hey. I've been trying to get a hold of you. F:I know. I think we need to talk. :19 Holdin back the drips from your eyelid. It doesn't get fixed if you hide it. Its only you and I like we're livin on an island. We're sittin here in private, listenin to silence. I know you heard it all before. Sounds all the same but it hurts a little more. We're searchin for reward or a purpose to move forward. If its perfect at the core then its worth a little war. Lookin in the mirror, didn't like what I become. Pride is double sided, either fight it or we run. We're just steady gettin by, livin life on a numb. Slight livin on a high, its only time before we plunge. Class so absent. Maybe that's the reason that we act dra-matic. Argue on the phone like that's our habit. Til the foreground echoes from the backdrop static. ----------------------------------------------------- 1:01 Mix a couple tears in the wine glass. Wish away revere on an eyelash. Wait a couple years, let time pass. I know your only fear is to die last. <-----HOOK You always told me you were waitin on the right one. But there really ain't no tellin when he might come. Throw away moments you and I won't get back. Our minds fell in love but they died on impact. (x3) -------------------------------------------------------- 1:29 Hiding in the shadows. Movin through the ether. Fight another battle. Feel it bruise a little deeper. You promise that you love her then it's stupid if you leave her. But you hate the thought of losing so you prove it just to keep her. Captive on the inside. Runnin just to get loose. Cuz I'll be broken down to nothin if I let you. You tell me that you hate me, then we're fuckin in the bedroom. I'll be fuckin with your body, you'll be fuckin with my head soon. Leave me while I crumble. And fall apart to enigmatic pieces of a puzzle. Eruptive if I toss em, I leave it then its subtle. If you're livin through an outlet with no meaning then you struggle. And then I wake up. Like wait what? These arguments don't really need to make or break us. But then I realize that for granted's what you take us. It really doesn't take much, fuck it then we break up. ---------------------------------------------------- 2:11 Mix a couple tears in the wine glass. Wish away revere on an eyelash. Wait a couple years, let time pass. I know your only fear is to die last. <-----HOOK You always told me you were waitin on the right one. But there really ain't no tellin when he might come. Throw away moments you and I won't get back. Our minds fell in love but they died on impact. (x2) -------------------------------------------------------- 2:33 Honestly you need to be for real. Promise you don't think about me still. Pour a little vodka in a cup then you drink it and refill. Til your thoughts can escape and your conscience can chill. I know you think about me when you're up at night. Staring at the ceiling like fuck. that. life. Walls won't listen - Like fuck that, right? You're prolly hopin I'ma turn around and come back, right? Now- Lie to me and say you're movin on. Try to be so fuckin nonchalant. Hide from me and try to be a fighter like you're strong. But you know that I can read between the lines and masquerade. Tell me that its later when you'll call back. 3:04 Empty conversation and small chat. I realize I'm the reason that you're upset. You didn't care then, now I couldn't give a fuck less. ---------------------------------------------------- 3:13 Mix a couple tears in the wine glass. Wish away revere on an eyelash. Wait a couple years, let time pass. I know your only fear is to die last. <-----HOOK You always told me you were waitin on the right one. But there really ain't no tellin when he might come. Throw away moments you and I won't get back. Our minds fell in love but they died on impact. -------------------------------------------------------- END

Ridin' 01:39
You can prolly find me floatin in the cosmos. Meteor showers while I'm soakin in a pancho. Quotin aristotle while I'm zonin outta convos. Headin to the Taco Bell steady hopin that it's not closed. Pokin at the throttle, put that pedal to the metal. I'm like homie I don't follow if your head ain't all that level. Ooooh. Man find me on my rogue shit. Flyin to my home, goin 90 on the hoan bridge. Yup. Guess it's all for the love, though. My neck out on the line cuz the music biz is cut throat. Uh-oh. Better drop another track for yall to bump, yo. Man this shit is getting harder like I'm pooping with my butt sewn. Shut it down like I'm squigeeing the damn floor. See me up on tv playin sneaky with the rancor. Cheeky up in heaven, like a genie at a lamp store. Here to change the game and add some Ghini to your Lambor.
14.
-The summer couldn't last forever, we both know that. -Livin for the moment cuz it wont go back. -Uh. Tryna grab time like a pho-to snap. -While changin up your life with some bold ro-mance. -It was so no hands, partly fated. -It was part us talkin, and part me chasin. -The way I felt inside, it was hardly blatant. -First kiss, bet it got that little heartbeat racin. -I just wanna hold your hand, dont hold that against me. -Ain't tryna mack, just build up the friendly. -And baby if you're ready, be my number one girl. -Itll happen over time, let the flower unfurl. -You're outta this world, put your hair up in a halo. -I dont believe in God but I swear you're an angel. -So darlin just say so. I'll show you what this thing means. -Instead of bringin flowers...I'mma bring me.
15.
Flow like a broke dam. Prose like the pros man. Keep it on the rollie from my domey to my toe jam Oh damn, white rap- this that new edition. Everybody wanna talk but aint nobody wanna listen. Livin in Milwaukee man I been here since my D.O. Be about the movement or its fuck you like I'm Cee Lo Green up in my pocket but it aint from pushin Kilo Meters always bouncin its about time yee-know. Ego ain't an issue, demanded by the popular. Listos - lemme see them handeds like an officer. Reload - bustin competition til I'm outta words. These bros - aint want this shit I'm positive I got em scurred. You finna keep on talkin or you gon' git sum? Cross the line like Mason or hop up off my Dixon. I tell you that your shits wack and then you go and get mad. You rappers sound like riff raff, limpin witcho gimp ass.
16.
Lightwork (Outro) 1:10 Tell me what you want from me. Like Honestly. Just Talk to me. Im a Prodigy. Well I wanna be. Man I gotta be. Undoubtedly. Where you been? Forget I don't know. Just meet me at the door when I get home. Youre tellin me that you dont wanna try again. And thats about the same time where I let go. What I'm dealin with is fire stone. I don't wanna try alone. Or say the realest things out loud to no one on this microphone. I've, never been patient. Never complacent. Dealin with hatred. But Ive always been a believer stress is better when you face it. If you were me, you'd prolly be the opposite of jaded. I get stronger everyday from all that hatred they created. And truthfully, I gotta be cuz I'm not the one that made it. So I'm positive that when my clock is up I'm gon be shameless. Everybody tells me to Pour my faith in. Til its far done. But it gets harder to believe in you. Like, where'd I get these scars from? From here on out, I'm always putting my morals on a high shelf. And I wont believe that my fight is over until I can believe in myself --------------------------------------------------------------- Everybody like "YOLO. YOLO. YOLO. YOLO." Makin dumb decisions every weekend, I'm like "Oh no." Y'all be trippin. I'm like "Oh no." Y'all be trippin. Trippin, trippin, trippin - "Oh no."

about

I set out months ago to create an album that personified a Summer feeling. After changing my mind on songs to use or a direction to take, dozens of times, I decided on this. #SummerSessions is the third mixtape I've released. I hope y'all can see progression in my work, and passion in my words. I do this for the people.
