The second volume of fuji vibes from Ryuu Saxophone and double bass over brushed drums, all running warm through vinyl saturation
A lot of the small movement, the FX, the swells, the live feel, comes off the SP-404, played in real time rather than programmed in
The music sits in late-night territory
Smooth, unhurried, that head-nod tempo where jazz phrasing and boom bap drums settle into the same pocket
Track names borrow short words from Japanese; wind, dream, fog, sea
Anchors, more than descriptions
Produced & performed by D-Styles, Excess, Mike Boo & Pryvet Peepsho as 545
From the Full Length Album: EPILOGUE
Recorded at Penguin Studios in San Diego, CA

𝐋𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬:
I be that cool cat walking out the spaceship
Gone are the days when you rocked with the ancient
And the setting sun in your eye where I placed it
They tried to feed my heart to a lion and so I faced it
Money bag chasing, history erasing
Brainwashed masses, always complacent
Down in the basement where I learned the alchemy
Now I got the za that could probably defy gravity
Cool ass jazz man dancing under the ceiling fan
Move back goddamn, moving just like a kilogram
All around the world today that is the measurement
Dropping acid everyday when I was a little kid
Roach clip dope shit, thrown in a predicament
No shit broski, know that I be spitting shit
Really in the mix like primordial soup
They be talking mad shit but I know it ain’t true
I be that cool cat made out of particles
Laid back dripping and the flow is diabolical
The genuine article and original style god
Go back in time put this track on your iPod
Cyborg time traveller, lyric unraveller
Fasten in the passengers I got the flux capacitor
Faster than the speed of light, smoking on the kind weed
Music is vibration and its something that we all need
Jump up get down so I can tell you all about it
Pumped for the breakdown and everybody wanna party
Annunaki immortal the rap demigod
Balance light up the edge of the pulsar
Passport stranger, slang evaporator
Throw a wack MC straight into the hamper
Chilling in the hangar with the crew and the pilot
Shine bright 23 stay ultra-violet
