Cypher video with my brick set / east coast connect family is dropping for the summer. Until then, I am going on vacation from recording to teach the youth. The tape was inspired by experiences and imagination. The tape is intended for young adults (17+) due to its content and language. I really tried to make it like a book or painting through music. There are a lot of positive messages on the tape too. One love. Description: 5th installment from bc2tone. Mixed and edited fully by BC2tone with "The Portable Studio". Get lost with this very diverse and unique tape.... Various beats by Canis Major, mjNichols, TLD Production, The Original Beats, and more. (Tape now includes limited edition toss away tracks)

Lost: And I am Very Tempted is now here
Datpiff has it first. It was fully mixed by me. All tracks except circus, areopagitica, and eagle eye were recorded with my mic.
Check out the sound bits used, and how crafty certain sounds were manipulated for your ears. This is a diverse and unique project. It is not intended to sound like anything you have heard before.

Why I make the music I make (Abstract)
I posted so many dates for when the release of my next tape is and... well I still never released it. I keep coming up with new ideas and continuously second guessing then liking some of my tracks again. I am still mapping it out. The purpose of the tape is to make you think about certain things in a different light while still taking you through this odd experience of being lost.
I do not conform to the typical rap style that is heard today and it is not because I do not like it, but I feel that if it is being done already then why would I want to do it? Sure, I may have some short term success for being aesthetically pleasing to listen to at the moment, but in the long run I would feel like a sell out for creating gimmicky music that does not age well.
If the music is real to you, then by all means go for whatever you please. If your objective is to strike a lot of hits by making something repetitive then I can almost guarantee that you will be in and out.
I even feel like Chief Keef is original in some aspects. I am sure I would hear a lot debate and heat for saying that, and I am sure I would agree with some of the opinions too, but still, I am talking about being different. He gives a sense of authenticity in his music that has led to a lot of Chief Keef wannabes and extremely horrible music... which I feel is a shame and should not be accepted into hip hop. BE ORIGINAL.
Hip hop is a circus. We need all of these different rappers or characters in it. Play your role, stick with it. That's what I am doing. Make music for yourself and that you are proud of. If it works, then it works. If it doesn't then maybe poetry or music is not for you. Well, all of the above reasons touch on a few things and also subtly explains why I make the music I do. No overused punchlines with a little twist. No saying a bar then a word after to make it a punchline. No tumblr antics to make me seem like a cool druggie. I just do me... The guy that is either extremely shy or super confident. The guy that knows how to have fun but will still be open to give a political opinion and also be open minded enough to try to understand yours. We're all lost in this world sometimes.
I'm not by any means preaching in this tape. The preaching is very annoying because not everybody has to believe what you believe in. Shed some light on it and maybe people will pick up on it. I just want us all to be thinkers of some sort.
Well... I have to get back to my music. I am trying to develop a solid sound for each song. This is a craft. In the meantime.. I am hoping that you all are working hard, spreading love, learning, being creative, and turning up.
uno.
