NEW TRACK: Back With Heat (feat. Nametag)

Hello there,

I know that it has been eons since I have hit you all with a new track so I decided to hit you the first leak from The Gospel is Free 2 (this volume will be slightly different from the first volume) and it features an awesome verse from Detroit based rhyme sayer Nametag. The track was produced by Teddy Roxpin and the cuts were supplied by Dj Grazzhoppa. Let me know what you think of the track.

peace and blessings,
Patrick aka Praverb the Wyse

The Gospel is Free 2...

is on the way...just working on finalizing the tracklisting and coming up with an appropriate release date. I will probably release three tracks (via bandcamp and other outlets) before I release the whole project. Do not expect a concept heavy record, this record will focus on lyricism...I am also in the process of recording other things and hopefully you will hear them soon...

Natural Elements - Lyrical Tactics

Natural Elements is one of my favorite groups of all time and I always have appreciated the level of lyricism that A-Butta, L-Swift (Swigga) and Mr. Voodoo (Agu) brought to the table. Here is a track that features cuts by the legendary Dj Premier. I searched the internet and I also found the lyrics to this awesome song. This track is unique because it also features the lyricism of Essence, who was originally attached to the Natural Elements crew.

Yeah yeah, this the group, this the group
You're listening to the sounds of Natural Elements, know what I mean?
We gonna do it like this, check it out

(Mr. Voodoo)
B-E-E, Double-Oh, so easily
will I eat M-C-E-E
N-Y-C be the locality... trying to inflate this low salary
My sets is fat and yours is low calorie
You're too full of carbohydrates, to flow my rate
I shake and vibrate, the lightweight, and make foes migrate
Plant seed and let it germinate, vermin I terminate
Verbally I offend more *niggaz* that the Mark Fuhrman tapes...

Yeah yeah, this the group, this the group
You're listening to

Yeah yeah, this the group, this the group

Yeah yeah, this the group
Yeah yeah, this the group
Yeah yeah, this the group
This the group...

Yeah yeah, this the group, this the group
You're listening to the sounds of Natural Elements, know what I mean?

B-E-E, Double-Oh, so easily

B-E-E, Double-Oh, so easily

B-E-E, Double-Oh, so easily
will I eat M-C-E-E
N-Y-C be the locality... trying to inflate this low salary
My sets is fat and yours is low calorie
Too, full-too full of carbohydrates, to flow my rate
I shake-rate vi-light-brate, light-making, make late migrate
Plant seed and let it germinate, vermin I terminate
Verbally I offend more *niggaz* that the Mark Fuhrman tapes
I burn this great when I get busy, the crowd ask what is he
Human or robot, my flow's hot, those that know not
must be dizzy, so, how many fingers do you see
You going up one, what, two, uh, three cause I knocked your ass silly
Of course I'm living Big but who the hell is Willie?
Try to peel me, and I'll put you on the floor quicker than Tyson did McNeely

(A-Butta)
Aiyyo, once you hear the Capital A, rappers stay
Went through for a while son, it won't go away
Composing dramatically plays, Element Natural ways
Control your thoughts like, sniffing crazy thoughts, four-oh quarts
Stay dipped, in Polo Sport menswear
A-Butta be the one you and your friends fear
Natural E, we dropping gems here
Shining for ten years, and keep writing until my pen-pen gets
gets ink upon the paper, rhyming the flavor-flavor
Too high-too higher than a skyscraper, my blades-blades
deacon-deacon, my thoughts connecting like, when my beeper's beeping
You stay sleeping, A's creeping, I'm making mics parade-parade
New jack new jack when... the mess
While you procrastinate, I graduate, past your rate
You see my flow'll fascinate, Natural E, we collaborate
Check it cause rap is great, Wiz, scratch it up like sissy fights
Butta, forever shine like, New York city lights

Keep risin to the top
No one can stop we
Natural Elements
We'll forever S-H-I-N-E
(repeat 2X)

(L-Swift)
Yo, physically I bring the pain here, for shorties wet like rain gear
I hit you buck fifty, like New York city train fare
Yo everyday I rock the same gear, cause money low, I bag a honey doe
This one go out to all my sunny bros, in N-Y-C
Northeast Bronx, my territory
You confess to a priest, writing lyrics is better for me
Never sweat a shorty, now I'm broke, got no sort of hope
But in the future, when I got money, I'll be adorable
But shorty played herself, like brothers on the train, using a portable telly
Cause both of y'all look the same, like Aaron Hall and R. Kelly
I bust a shot like Marbury, battle?
You must be sniffing something like, Darryl Strawberry
Check what I get nice with, my right hand is what I grip a mic with
In the future, I circle numbers on this Lex priceless, but yo
Me getting burnt or hurt, won't be tolerated
I got rhymes up the UHHHHHH, forget it I'm constipated

(Essence)
See these lines be like graffiti burners, Essence tags your mental hall
as I come bust aerosol meets flame, into your face with no shame
Rappers be talking like they rich when they be riding the train
And when they flow you know it all sound the same
Repetitive like escalators, plus sweeter than Now and Laters
Your clout about as much weight as a sheet of paper
You have no flavor, pulling my saber, removing you
from the agenda wannabe pretenders Fall like September through November
Get open end to then, verbally dismembered
Remember Essence flows, I'm treating you like Mendel
From Bolo, to get dough, see the mic you need to let go
Your high-low, you can't rip it with expertise
Please, this MC, put simply is a G-O-double-D-E-double-S
You cannot contest

Keep rising to the top
No one can stop we
Natural Elements
We'll forever S-H-I-N-E
(repeat 2X)

This dude can draw...

Here is some dope visual work courtesy of Graphite. I came across this talented artist when I was searching for an artist on Kanye Live to work on some cover art (I AM STILL LOOKING haha). I appreciate his artistry because it reminds me of how it felt to spend time on a drawing (I usually threw mine away). I also have a friend named Mike who is also quite wicked with the pencil.

Emcee Nemesis - Waits Over

Dope remix to Drake's Over track that features two dope verses and some intellectual talk for all those people who believe hip-hop is dead. Emcee Nemesis, Va bred, is now living in North Carolina and he is poised to take over the world. Give this track a spin and let me know what you think! He also has a new mixtape dropping soon.

Nametag, Sean Jay, M-Dot...

Nametag released Soul System EP on 3/1/10 and it is a collaborative effort with Black Bethoven and DubMD. The EP features six songs and standout guest spots from Kopelli and Journey. The concept of the Soul System is, "One producer, One emcee, One concept…One EP." Nametag is from the D (Detroit) and he is a great song writer and lyricist. You can download the Ep HERE.

The homie Sean Jay hit me some tracks for his mixtape called A Tree By Itself. You can listen to Cool Ish and three snippets at his website. I respect Sean as an artist who has impeccable taste in beats and a relentless work ethic. Sean has also recruited me for a feature role on an upcoming project.

---

My homie M-Dot hit me with this video which revolves around his summer tour of 2009. I gathered valuable information from this YouTube video, most importantly, M. Dot's album will be crazy and his work ethic is unmatched. M-Dot also hit me with a new song that features Boston juggernaut Krumbsnatcha. The song is called "Shut Down" and you can listen to it HERE or HERE.

ERule - One Rule

This is one of my favorite verbal jabs (aka a diss towards another artist) and this is track is directed towards Ja Rule. ERule, a west coast legend, felt that Ja Rule disrespected him which gave birth to this song (listen to this song and zone out and marvel at Erule's flow). If you like this song then you need to listen to Cold Currentz and the Listen Up/Synopsis single that he dropped back in 1994.
