An Eye for Breathing and Stopping Theory [Q-Tip vs. Michael Nyman]
it's just Breathe and Stop versus An Eye for Optical Theory like that's the whole thing
gonna be alright
A mellow, chilled-out hip-hop groove
Vibtone
A chill beat made with the op-1. [more inside]
Lion King Hustle feat. Lil Wayne
Beer for Breakfast
A short song about a lazy morning made today in a state of undress for the music challenge. [more inside]
Jordache Jeans
Some hip hop about the ecstasies of vintage clothing and related minutiae. NSFW [more inside]
Entrance Exam
More MeFi hip-hop! "Entrance Exam" is a rap song I wrote about growing up in the Philippines and eventually ending up in Seattle. I'd decided on a more aggressive/defiant tone from my usual stuff and I'm pretty happy with the result. [more inside]
Get Away
Today marks the release of a long anticipated hip hop collaboration. I refer, of course, to Watch the Throne. Undaunted, dapperkoala and I decided to release our collaboration today too. (A little NSFW) [more inside]
Trust
Hip hop about a lucrative financial opportunity. [more inside]
Forsaken
Another short, fast-paced sampled beat. [more inside]
That's My Ride
My roommate found a piece of paper on the ground and gave it to me. It had this song (poem?) written on it. I put it to music. (Lyrics slightly NSFW towards the end) [more inside]
Lingua Franca (Chop It Up)
MeFi Music could use a little more rap, don't you think? Here's a song from our second album dealing with friends of a new significant other running interference on your blossoming relationship. (I perform the first and third verse.) Lyrics within. [more inside]
likeBOOM
Based on a chopped and sliced sample of a heart beating, in this track Millimeters of Mercury (my "stage name") pulls his shields of extreme Auto-Tune down slightly to let you get a little more close and personal.
Unabomber
Cytochrome C - producer, MC. A lo-fi raptastrophe. [more inside]
Out of Gas
Probably my best song on my new album "Objects in Space". One of the few songs I've ever sung on. Excellent turntable work by E_B_A. You can download this, and any of my music at my website popamericana.com/76.
Where Brooklyn At?
Fennesz, O'Rourke, Rehberg, ODB, Para 1, Nitin Sawhney, and... Dizzee Rascal? [more inside]
it can happen to you
cutting up and mixing mozart's 25th to produce an emotive beat. see if you can spot a few of the phrases that were left in tact. [more inside]
Leary Biscuit
A beat about a special treat.
This Is Why I'm Fantastic
by Fantastic Plastic Mims; my first foray into the mashing of up. Please be kind, this took me well over ten minutes.
The Biggie Blues
What do you get when cross Notorious B.I.G, Geeshie Wiley, and a subsonic dnb bass? You get The Biggie Blues my friends.
Lung Capacity
Au lait? Olé! (This is) a stream of conciousness rhyme about politics, metaphysics, milk, and ...
Some Radical New Therapy
So many drums, so little time.
Moksha Samsara
like clockwork
knockin' jerks off their top perch
in church they lurch at the thought of my verse
for it's immersed in a curse of unquenchable thirst
every word is a symphony and every phrase is a first

Family Matters
Do you remember Family Matters? This bump is a remix of the theme song! I find it nostalgic. "Daaaaays goooo byyyyy"
Talkin' Atheistic Blues
A song for Franky, his wife who shops at Whole Foods, and their kids who live on YouTube. Above that, a song for George himself. I wrote this back behind enemy lines. The beat was made upon my return and it was recorded the next day.
Terracota
As per request, this is the track that immediately follows Au Courant. The speaking is samples from a beat poem by Burroughs and the rhymes are mine. This is one of those songs that you toy with for months before you're happy with it. I am also struggling with the levels so any assistance would be much appreciated! (work-in-progress)
Au Courant
Experimental electroclassical hip-hop track. First one to name the classical piece I lifted for my main brass sample gets a lollipop. (Hint, I play it in entirety in incredibly high-pitched, fast motion near the end of the track).
iLust Your iPod
I stare at you across the lecture hall in Psychology class. Your long, white cord and your smooth rectangular body.
If I had to narrow this track down to a particular genre I would have to go with "electro orchestral folk-hop." This beat is a impassioned symphony expressing the desire for iNtimacy in today's society.
initialize_program_001
My friends and I pretend to live on a space station, and we make raps about it.
This song is about the space station's main computer starting up for the very first time.
