  • Limited Edition Super DIY Audio Cassette
    Cassette + Digital Album

    you get the entire project plus an additional 10-ish minutes of unreleased instrumental music.


    first time "mass producing" a cassette myself, so the presentation might reflect that. i'd like to release more cassettes in the future. the plan is to refine this process with each iteration.

    these tapes are clear and about 40 minutes long. there may or may not be a couple surprises that come with the tape as well. you didn't ask for any but, whatever.

    only shipping in these United States of America. why? because i think shipping outside the US might end up costing more than the tape. if i'm wrong, please hit me on twitter or something and let me know how i can get a tape to you.

    ships within 10 days of order placement.

lyrics

happy leap year
this here's a reach
but let's be clear
you should only listen to this song once
every one thousand four hundred and sixty days
while you confront your deep fears over cheap beers

february 29th, two thousand sixteen
remember who got clowned and picked clean

a bit of advice, homies
you should only pound if the mound is pristine
you can never be down if your sound is extreme
aiming for the main and turned out
i'm ecstatic to see you drowning midstream

i'm living in the moment and i'm dying in reflection
timing is lesson
with every winding second
i'm a giant in conception

that's what you gotta tell yourself to lie through your depression
that's why we fuck the planet with the mightiest erection
til hatefully departed in thin blankets of scarlet

from emaciated artists to artificially inflated starlets that fame made a target
i'd rather be famous for being the steph curry of throwing balled up pieces of paper towel into the garbage
while you roleplay as idiocy incarnate

i'm eckhart tolle with the tone of voice you better obey
only exception i don't rep the ofays
the best of both ways
my message is so festive, olé
don't vote for donald trump in this election, okay
