Yooooooo!

This gave me mad CAPITAL STEEZ vibes bro!

Flows are sharp AF, the production is raw, love that crisp fiery quality in the sample. Fire shii (as per usual)

This guy does not miss! Another richly layered verse that weaves Black history, personal pain, and lyrical virtuosity into a meditation on blue as burden and inheritance. This joint is intimate and expansive, The Bluest demands to be heard, felt, and studied. For the record there is only one set of twins keeping the vampires out of the Sip in reel life.

Finally had a chance to sit down and listen to the "studio" version and read the footnotes. There's so much packed into these as usual. It's almost ghazal like with a focus on blue as it changes from the color, to the sadness, to the history, to exchange of value and the like.

Very nice.

Peace Josh, thanks for dropping me a line and also opening the line last Friday. I had fun preforming this on the call though I had some nervous feelings lol. Also thanks for the insight on ghazal poems, it’s my first of hearing about them. If you have any suggestions on specific ghazal poems to check out, ide love too!

Thanks again! 🙏🏽

This is @Bence Ádók ‘s favorite Ghazal: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51652/tonight-56d22f898fcd7

The form has the repeating phrase or word on the end. But even though it’s the same phrase, the meaning of the verse slowly changes throughout the poem.
