  • When London Street Art legend, Remi Rough & Paris based, Boston bred Art Rap creator, Experimental Hip Hop innovator, Mike Ladd combine their cutting edge lyricism and captivating visual art, what ensues is The Dead Can Rap's new art-book.

    Bizarrely honest, unpredictable, unique and often unorthodox styles meet in a dialogue between two pillars of the international Hip Hop Community, and their comrades in Underground Hip Hop resistance theology.

    Not only will this artbook serve as intellectual & visual vitamins, but it also fits in your pocket, just like all those Rapper's rap books before the rise of iPhone raps emerged.

lyrics

God on opiates
Riding up escalators listening to soundtracks
In airports train stations
The sky out the window
On an elevated crossing the Potomac
Or the east river a release from the city then back into the tunnels
The underground open spaces
Our soon to be Prairies
Tokyo to Osaka a glimpse of mount Fuji
Get a tease take a tease
At ease with what used to be
Listening to Tom York while reading Fred Moten
Should be Arthur Russell
No I didn’t say Monk
But Monk will permeate
Marinate then meditate
On interstellar space
Alice chemtrails traced
Traversed currently by Sorrey
I tried art crit lit as a eulogy
Yeah I failed miserably
Took it back to the subway
Earbuds don’t fit me
See soundtracks reverberate
Regurgitate non fiction
Till the material is fiction
Like the truth from a shaman
Start the countdown
The race is in position
Launch
Blue jeans, brown shoes and very white t-shirt
Everything remains simply the same but now my feet hurt
Not twenty four seven but I’m still trying to be on it
Just look in the mirror you’ll see a whole new adonis
With sky blue, plum and a deep dark vermilllion
Thinking in colour like the other half gazillion
Pleasantries momentarily being heavily influenced by me...
I paint graffiti on walls as a statement of rebellion
The Brexit bystanders ending up as sheer carrion
Having a two man red hoodie as my alternative angle
I wrangle my way through these political mangroves
This is just far too fantastic!
Tantric mantras keeping the classics elastic
Bombastic Britonians eating hot chicken shaslik
And there we have it....
You reap exactly whatever you sow
Karmas a bitch bro
Eye am with Withdrawal
Pit’s sprawl= cliff’s fall= tripped calls
“Yo, that order’s tall-”
“U sniff, Eye snarl…”
Border wall= Up in that Northern brawl
With them Southern shawls draped over
Shoulders older than Lucy’s great grand’
You make plans, we break ‘Klans
Palm readers still shake hands
“Sit down, Rap!”
“-Eye’m young with It, no FreudThey so ‘groid, the voice stay ex-androids-”
Now Sophia mackin’-
Whatever the Sagrada Familia’s lackin’ is bound to happen
“-Yo, Eye used to cry Saturn
Now Eye be downin’ them Black & Tans
When Eye’m the old man that Eye used to be then- no greys/graze”
Dodge strays, Plymouth serve trays/Trey’s113th street endless= Malcolm Little gimmicks
Granny’s Texas grimace
Tin Pan Alley men in gowns= Washboard Rap water-boardin’
Pisces ex-wife, still borin’
“You know, Neitzche’s dead & God’s still snorin.”
