the mercy beat | an act of mercy | sweet | video
The Mercy Beat hits low. They know what we like and they use it against us. Here they offer their track, “Sweet,” in a capsule of cinematic eye-candy.

shabazz palaces | they come in gold | lese majesty lp
“Sanity, a visage of my wealth
Lost but always found before the idols that I’ve knelt
Strategy, the only way to cry
Keep it do or die and always think in terms of I
Reverie, some legend futures past
Revelry, instead for it renders hella fast
Capitol, a sound that’s on the rise
It’s slaking unrealized until essence has been razed
Sepulcher, a stage enlived by ghosts
Floating off with bags of the blood encrusted dough.”
– “They Come In Gold” (from “The Phasing Shift” suite) Continue reading “shabazz palaces | they come in gold | lese majesty lp”
