System Failure Explored IV

System Failure Is Available On All Platforms!

This project is mostly old school hip hop beats but the style is unique and modern. My rap for the most part is very conscious and lyrically focused. It’s mostly talking about government corruption, different perspectives, mindset to succeed, and my opinion on a lot of what’s going on in our culture. The system failing simply refers to the fact that we as humans tend to change and reform our systems of control. One example was switching from gold to inflatable currency and then to digital. This essentially calls for another reset, our system right now is more than just failing, but failed and all we are doing now is convincing ourselves and others that it hasn’t.

This is my first album release and the most important thing I will put out for a long time. I hope you enjoy it and get some value from it.

I’m going to go a bit more in depth in exploring the second last set of songs (only 2) on the album.

Need Saving

This touches on the idea that everyone falls at some point so help others that need and allow others to help you when you do need it. Also aligning with the general theme it’s calling out people who only live selfishly and consciously explores indoctrination and the ridding of a 9-5 mindset.

Til Proven Innocent

I made this song after I was charged with inciting a public disturbance without proof. Though the charge was minimal, the point is the message. The authorities can get away with nearly anything because when you have to investigate yourself, you tend to be generous with your findings

I’m going to go a bit more in depth in exploring the third set of 3 songs on the album.

Low Life

This song talks about the stigma about drug users and the ironic criticism from people with much worse vices.

Control Media

I wrote this song after a police officer explained to me that what she had to enforce was based on the public relations of the politicians in control, in this case she was referring to the mayor.

Cold World II

This is the continuation of Cold World I. The premise is even though the world can be cruel you need to buckle down and take your chance with life cause it’s better to have tried and failed than to have not tried at all and be full of regret.

Zeuz Feature “Memories”

I made the song Memories with ZEUZ aka IamZeuz. We’re really satisfied with the final version of the song and hope you enjoy it!

ZEUZ:

“‘Memories is a song I have always wanted to write on but initially I wanted to go solo on the track and then I was fortunate enough to listen to one of Scottychams’ singles which made me reconsider what I had in mind. I told him about it and he agreed to jump on the track. We came up with this perfect blend of styles. It is my first ever international feature and ‘Memories’ is simply a hip hop track you should not miss!

It took me a while to actually write the song ‘Memories’ after I got the beat from a producer in Atlanta who goes by the name finesseondabeat. I wanted it to be perfect, but even in the process of achieving perfection, you tend to make mistakes which makes you human…I wrote three different verses for the beat and then finally picked one. It was during a busy time so I had to squeeze in time to write the track.”

BIOGRAPHY:

“I’m Basit Ibukun Isioye popularly known as ZEUZ. I was born May 10th, 1996 In Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. I started my musical career in 2014 and have worked with various producers & artists such as Deez, Whalez, T-durst (to mention a few). I’m currently a student in the University of Ilorin, Kwara State. A few of my interests are football, art, and sight-seeing. I’m grinding to ensure that soon my music takes me around the globe.”

This was one of our favorite features and I’m sure we will have a lot more collaborations in the future!

Make A Life Not A Living Is Out

Make A Life Not A Living is released on Soundcloud exclusively

This is a collection of free songs I made on a small project exploring a more vibey chill sound. I talk about one of the most important things in life which is making a life not a living. In the simplest terms, loving life and thriving rather than just living life and surviving.

This EP meant a lot to me and my ambition and passion for music and empowering others. Take a listen and leave some feedback on my social channels. It’s free exclusively on Soundcloud to further the point of doing what you want in life rather than focusing on money.

Stay tuned for my future blog posts going more in-depth into Make A Life Not A Living

This is my first album release and the most important thing I will put out for a long time. I hope you enjoy it and get some value from it.

I’m going to go a bit more in depth in exploring the last set of songs (only 2) on the album.

Message Sent

This song basically is the sequel to Please Press Send with the assumption that you if you truly understood this message you would pass it on yourself or share the music with someone else who might need the motivation and direction provided. I’m satisfied knowing that I finally put out this project and brought these thoughts and opinions to the world.

Fair Warning

This is a warning to myself basically saying that this could be taken poorly and if I die for what I believe in it will be worth it. It’s also reminding me in the future to stick to the vision and not stray for superficial distractions no matter the cost.

Reboot (Bonus)

This was just some random thing I had for the album. It was going to be an interlude and then it became more like a regular track, just really short. I guess you could say it’s the outro in a way. This is the only track I produced myself using some sampling, but still.

Rob Keelzz Feature Lone Star State

Lone Star State is a collab I did with Rob Keelzz aka K33lo. This is our first collab that started our musical connection and many future projects.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY:

Born and raised in Houston Texas. Had a good enough childhood though I was bullied a lot. I never saw anyone’s race and never let it divide me from others. Listened to all types of music coming up. My dad loved to play the bass for me in his truck. I always found relief in music. I realized in high school I could recite a good poem unencumbered by music. Fast forward to 2016 and I’m at the bottom of rock bottom so I decided to put my all into rapping and getting my story out for that one special person who needs it when they do. I linked up with Scottychams on a collab just for fun and it ended up helping me further hone my craft and get deeper in the musical industry. I can’t wait for you to hear my stuff!

I’m excited to share this and I will have another blog soon with another feature we’ve been working on so stay tuned for more music! I am collecting artists and producers for the annual We The 9 mixtape we are starting and K33L0 will be one of the artists to be on it. If you’d like to get on it get in touch with We The 9 or myself. Email [email protected].

I’m going to go a bit more in depth in exploring the second set of 3 songs on the album.

What’s Wrong

This song is a look at the many things that are so obviously wrong with society but are for many superficial and selfish reasons allowed to continue

Cold World I:

This is based on the premise that sadly more people are drawn to indulging negativity for short term rewards rather than striving for positivity and being patient grinding towards a long term legacy.

Reminded

This has some conscious rap to it, but for the most part this song is more of a turn up song changing it up a bit from the general album theme. The main premise is that people love honesty until you’re honest with them.

Irvin Fame Feature “Rain Check”

Irvin Fame and I collaborated on a song we titled Rain Check. Check it out below

Irvin Fame had to say this: “I wrote the song because I was having some kinda feeling about being broke and trying to make it.. And you know I had to rain check.. Kinda like happy hour.. So I just took that theme and put it into writing.” The song is basically about the 9-5 has everyone going to Happy hour and we all end up missing things from always going to Happy hour.

If you’ve kept up with my release for System Failure you might have seen I released a dynamic visualizer on YouTube for the whole album:

IRVIN FAME

BIOGRAPHY:

Irvin Fame is a singer who hails from delta state Nigeria. His sound is mainly afro and patois. His music is greatly influenced by the legendary Tupac, Bob Marley, and the golden age old school vibe.

InsertFX Feature “Harmonica”

InsertFX approached me to be be apart of his upcoming album. So I of course agreed and he quickly made a custom instrumental for me. Soon after I wrote and recorded really quick being inspired by the vibe of the beat.

The cover art for “Harmonica” the song I featured on that he created above. This is the 9th song of InsertFX’s album called ‘Our Journey’. InsertFX had this to say:

It is a future bass song mixed with a lovely harmonica. In this song I’m alone and it seems that I have recovered my happiness or at least I can deal with the sadness that she left in me. It’s a song that talks or represents when you feel you are alone but you aren’t. Finding the difference between being alone and feeling alone.

I found ScottyChams on Twitter, told him that I was searching for singers/rappers and he gave me his SoundCloud. I listened to his songs and I was like “wow”. Then not long ago, he released his new album called ‘System Failure’ and I listened to it completely. Really loved it, he is so talented. It’s nice to find there are still rappers who actually rap and not just mumble rap. Y’all need to listen to this collaboration though, it’s amazing! One of my favorite songs off the album. I know you will like that harmonica and also the message/lyrics that ScottyChams added.

BIOGRAPHY:

InsertFX was created late 2016. It’s DJ focused on bass music including: trap, hybrid trap, future bass, chill trap, moombahton and other similar subgenres. InsertFX has won over the Internet with his remixes. As soon as he started releasing his remixes, people started following, reposting, liking and asking who is InsertFX?

Behind the fancy helmet we can find a young boy who has dreamed for a long time and now is living that dream. Full of positive vibes and with a clear view of his future, InsertFX is here to stay.

He’s from Latin America, but he decided to travel to United States and try his luck! Recently he moved to New York and started giving promotional CD’s and USB flash drives to random people. He also spent time playing many clubs and promotional events.  After releasing his first remixes on his social media, everything started to grow! Now he’s doing his first tour in Latin America before he starts with the U.S tour. Watch out for him on the come up!
