Ben Harris This man's world-weary yet precise flow is awesome to hear, accompanied by the kind of moody broken-beat trip hop that DJ Krush or o k h o specialise in, it's taken to a whole other plane of existence. -------------------------- "Turned 22, it felt like an emergence; Don’t hang with losers, don’t like the inertia..." Favorite track: Porcelain Geisha (feat. FiFi Rong).
Nature John

Nature John Dark, mean, lost, unique, and thus, refreshing to hear. Favorite track: Camp (feat. Kent Loon and Sima Itayim).

shall001 This is a really stunning album, completely immersive and murky, trip hop-y and delirious, his most fully-formed work yet. Favorite track: Fog (feat. Dua Saleh).
Callum Gubb

Callum Gubb Totally worth the wait, the consistent vibe to all the instrumentals and story told through all the tracks are incredible. Favorite track: Fog (feat. Dua Saleh).

Jeremy Leaming It's decent, not an lp to be loved the interludes and story bore. Chester Watson's voice is the only reason to listen occasionally. Favorite track: Daydreams (feat. Dua Saleh).

Life wrote itself, we helped it. Chester always movin on some samurai stealth shit Life wrote itself, we helped it Life wrote itself, we are just observers in the waves like a pocket of shellfish Life wrote itself, we just felt it Life wrote itself, we just felt it Walking on wet ground at night it’s like space. So I hit a moonwalk and slide like MJ Bruh i’m fire like a plate of hibachi on wednesday A prodigious sensei, is Chester Watson I chill at the top with a Bic flame ablaze I stay hazing. daily People want all the secrets but it’s a wave. i made i’m like earthquake Only 5’9 but i know i done made the earth shake. stupid You should’ve been worried in the first place. cause now i’m about to lose it Trippin splitting spliffs i’m at bottom of the prism The shamans of pyramids, if you listen prolly would hear em The wisdom godless, it came from the gods and i’m just mirror A spirit meditating to a sky ridden with aliens And if God is here is it really a God that’s saving us Rockets and arms up, a popular art trust Me, i’m just an agnostic, that is pocketing star dust Life wrote itself, we helped it. Chester always movin on some samurai stealth shit. Life wrote itself, we helped it Life wrote itself, we are just observers in the waves like a pocket of shellfish Life wrote itself, we just felt it Life wrote itself, we just felt it Rest in Peace to Nipsey, reinvesting the wealth It’s something wavy in the water, on some micro-dose L shit Mind of a legend, but I’m so psychedelic Not from this planet got rarity of a relic From St. Louis to St. Pete I ain’t you, i ain’t stupid, it ain’t free No love for it, i ain’t cupid, i ain’t jesus Stay blowing loud smoke in the faint breeze I need the “Air Watson” with the Virgil quotes. I bet not having a vision prolly hurt the most. And when i’m with the Nü, you know the circle toast Now i’m fighting off these demons while i’m purging ghosts Chester, the necromancer, leader of resurgent hope. Lock us up for petty shit, then say we don’t deserve to vote All the stereotypes gotta swerve But if the realest really die then i’mma prolly be the first to go Life wrote itself, we helped it Chester always movin on some samurai stealth shit Life wrote itself, we helped it Life wrote itself, we are just observers in the waves like a pocket of shellfish Life wrote itself, we just felt it Life wrote itself, we just felt it

I move with the sky I’m one with land, i’m one with the tides They do what they can, i do what i like The juju demanded, gotta supply I voodoo the plan, then i hit up Weiss Sippin on potions with Porcelain Geishas I might just go cop the Porsche today bruh Seeing things that i can barely explain But way up, we way up Everyone vibing concerts like a sermon Some people are sneaky they scurry like vermin.

Never again Nah. Nah Never again. Nah Never Again Yuh Never Again can count all friends on less two hands Zanned out i mastered the plan Stand out i tatted my hands Ido what i want so i do what u can't Bottom line since a jit i been the man You can try to dismiss it but numbers expanding Despite all the hating and all your rebranding I buy nü adidas like every 3 bands And A$AP Guess tees on me in a canyon. boi Always moving like a Phantom. boi In other words i move like Santa Tulsi, Nü, ILU, my momma, with Haley, Jeff weiss, and Doc and the Stand4rd On the docks with a panda. yup Bamboo pipe smoking cannabis Traveling the sands on a camel sand in my eyes, see hands in the dust Fuck What luck. Now a battlefield dismount as i duck Slick type hood noble now in a rut Swung the gold samurai sword i think i cut something Maybe misjudged, rarely misunderstood. Fuck that

But i left, i’m on a beach somewhere outside the forest Facing blunts. think i’m tasting blood People claiming they the realest, really be the lamest ones I wish that i could teleport

Floating in blue lights Opening your sights Breathing in the sound Fly while you lie down Watch the cosmos turn pain into peace Chillin in the rain ilu fleece, on me Meditating bumpin Nujabes on repeat Might take moms out to eat later Lowkey wanna get a cover on a magazine So maybe i’ll vibe when I see Fader logo hover over a fly portrait of me Roll up, sit back, think. Tell them wishing evil, is a jinx You are not impervious to karma, you receive, what you give Out in Amsterdam with Shungu and Jamie Man those were the days I would repeat and relive Empress offered me a cup of tea and a spliff Now I’m somehow burning under sea, it’s surreal Brodi Weiss hit me with some deets, what’s the deal Seeing glowing lights hover underneath Watch the cosmos turn pain into peace Blowing doja in the wind to the east Keep composure, keep my fam on they feet I just know that I’m a chosen one, a saint for my people Watch the cosmos turn pain into peace Blowing doja in the wind to the east Keep composure, keep my fam on they feet I just know that I’m a chosen one, a saint for my people Floating in blue lights Opening your sights Breathing in the sound Fly Home sweet home bro Nah, this wasn’t overnight, i had a long road All money in, stand tall word to Nip It’s process, float brotha don’t fold Man i’ve been taking flights since i was 16 Above the clouds you see nothing it what it seems Staying grounded gets you closer to the big dreams Man mix the coca-cola with the hennnyyyy man Life’s a roller coaster and it switch speeds One of homies living 15 We would skate the block, and african was his pops His heritage got a lot, the brotha know draw, word to Ba We stay swerving the police Not a criminal but i don’t got the time to be another headline to hashtag on phone screens Nah, smoke trees by my lonely Floating in blue lights Opening your sights Breathing in the sound

My soul is glow in the dark See it through the hole in my heart My token is golden it sparkle We’re all supernovas, and stars. The Yokai have left an impression I’m impressed, i don’t know where to start I confess i have astral projected to Mars Or i dreamt that i did it But what is a dream but a plane of existence that we haven’t touched I had to leave in a rush Brand new y3s hit the mud It’s windy, the ILU is snug I feel like Mace Windu Out in New Jersey with Kent Loon Hennessy pure white from Kinduu Might get a tat on my ribs too Buttermilk bath like i’m rich. huh Alien i feel like stitch Phaded i might crash the ship Lean wit it, rock wit the drip Keep it high confidence Just gotta find the grimoires, then i dip This ain’t quest it’s just as reckless as shit I’m just impressed by metrics of it Cop some chateau and day drink with a witch A prince of Poseidon depraved Still niggas be riding my wave People don’t want to be saved Until they deep inside they grave But by then it’s too late I’m just a sinner let fate; twist Powers at work from the ancients So all my beats got a faint hiss Mayan beam up to the spaceship I cannot deal with snakes I cannot deal with fake shit niggas concealin the hate Might to move to Japan it just makes sense Had a daymare during day-shift Scars on my wrist from the Wait Think i’m in a plane of existence that we haven’t touched I had to leave in a rush Woke up to demons and yokai Saw one was bleeding from both eyes Dodomeki and Oni amuck These niggas stay cloning my stuff A loner, a rōnin, it’s luck I wander, i roam wit it tucked The gold my neck like a buck Fitty- or somethin i cannot keep up Witty and young, and i don’t fuck Sticky my lungs like a chimney Keep it one hunnid. my energy I know there‘s somewhere i’m meant to be Out in galaxy where my soul sent from I'm aiming the mission. no aimless amidst us Think i’m in a plane or existence that we haven’t touched. I had to leave in a rush

Woke Up Feeling this Nü this morning Jerusalem the Crucifix A tourist in the Holyland A regular in Hollywood I don't think that makes any sense I sing these songs they pay my rent I swear to god I'm seeing things The memories that we forget I'm staring at the ceiling fan Cause I'm tryna make it make some sense Cause I'm make a little change Cause I'm tryna cop a couple chains Cause I'm tryna make you think I'm rich Through the radio and television Through the rented cars and televisions Is this really what we all envisioned Is this really what we had in mind Is it any more or less different If I ditch it all in search for peace of mind Would they take it all run to the hills with mine Would it read the world and rip it dead in half Now, do they delegate the final laugh I don't think that's how it works Max back from the dead Back for the verse Back at ya head I see no god. Need no forgiveness Gold this year was so expensive Hope the stocks drop a bit i gotta go stack my bread and go ballistic. Drink some water, see some visions Swim with mermaids, feed the fishes Chess-master he's a wizard, movin like Esther after easter dinner I say doing, you say gonna I don't know you, i don't wanna. Creating art until the sun up Squadron rollin flora smell like fauna I been floating in the sunken place Haiku and a blunt to face High school ain't my comfort days Shit i might buy a dungeon space. just to park my ship for lunch with babe. She's a witch but won't admit or say it Crystals, opals, gems. i'm sacred I Love Ugly on my daily ILU Muji, juun.j, FOG I got on Supreme drawls Pack smell like a zookeepaa Don't know you cowboy; who-he-haaaa

My girl told me that i smoke more than i eat Need to de-fog I had to agree I agree, I agree Then Kent said, i think we need to cop more trees Looked at the weed and i had to agree I agree, I agree I agree i can't identify with fame Just like i agree that i’m a sinner all the same Find my mind at peace 10,000 feet inside plane Mini chessboard in my luggage cause i see that life’s a game Marshmen in the distance; hope they slip and let rain come Look down at my tee, it’s fear of god, but what’s that stain Think I need to change. I Love Ugly in the armoire to Narnia, or the Underworld, soul noire, spark the chronic up Yokai surrounding us Think I was drowning in the fog. like when a fountain floods Shrouded in the smog within the mountain, Got lost in the temple Man i miss the days when my thoughts were so simple and Life really feeling mad metaphysical Remember makes beats at ma’s pad in the living room Simplify the message, package that for the kids at school And anybody else tryna venture to A different universe, vibration at a different tune And then I woke up. Wait i think.i remember Biggie telling me something dark in a dream I get no answer when i’m singing my prayers, they must be outta key My girl told me that i smoke more than i eat Need to de-fog I had to agree I agree, I agree Then Kent said, i think we need to cop more trees Looked at the weed and i had to agree I agree, I agree

My past life poked through my subconscious and opened eyes My Armor tailored by the most high Armor of god on as I float by Only 22 bet yet he so wise Keep it ten toes word to Nip Two things to the code Don’t fold; don’t trip Move in slow mo, I be on the road though Niggas really bozos. do it my folks bro Keep applying pressure that’s no option. iILU vest on me, Regal specialty, if i’m involved. i do my best to be What i’m meant to be. that’s word to moms i reinvest the cheese Stand for something worthy, or you fall in with the rest of sheep Always up early, i get restless sleep Not too many people that’s impressing me Lately, look up to sky and pray it bless my people I can’t keep them inside; i manifest my dreams i manifest my dreams I manifest my dreams mm mm mm i manifest my dreams Abstract obsession Grab my gargled tongue Blue hallucinations Break me out these lungs Oh lay here with me I’m hazy But won’t scream Ahhh This life isn’t right despite how it may seem A lot of people are stuck inside of a daydream Sometimes I wish black and whites could trade teams Not for forever just for perspective to change things But that’s a little far-fetched I still turn my star caster into a star catcher I just gotta move faster, and muscle through the stress Bruh i got the Nü tatted, it’s on me like a crest Abstract obsession Grab my gargled tongue Blue hallucinations Break me out these lungs Oh lay here with me I’m hazy But won’t scream Ahhh
