JALENKWRIGHT Dhrma assists Curbside Jones in continuing his streak of collaborative EPs with Japanese producers. Chicago artist Musa Reems debuts a new rap style and deeper tone on the intro. Listeners FINALLY get the chance to hear Garrott Odom and Curbside Jones trade bars on "Y2K20"! The quick listening experiance ends on "Nigo 93" which is one of the best songs he has ever written. Curbside Jones is not simply going through the motions as he transitions from "running in reverse" to 'Floating In Between'. Favorite track: Nigo 93 ft. Momo.

Curbside Jones Verse hyaku man en on the calling card when im calling God/ Ball like bakugan, you been falling hard, why you stalling God?/ y2k to the matrix, transcend with the oculus/ Snatch yo wife's toupee, shape shift, blend with the audience/ Save the small talk, we parallel like how the car parked/ Behave with the the small bark, compare the scale when the bars spark/ What you think i rap for? To sit and not use a passport?/ We can blink and Fast-forward can't abuse what you asked for/ Next time I'm in kyoto I'll pour one out for the homies/ Ayo, this right here for the homies/ cats wanna break bread, might break legs trying to foot the bill/ If looks could kill id take heads, shake feds, stay afoot and chill/ keep it solid state, trust you aint brolic mate/ Put em in a box like solid snake to consolidate/ While they sit, plan and fester I channel ancestors/ Never get a hand that's lesser, cant cancel the grand gestures/ Hook x2 Ayo, when you hear this in yo whip turn it up/ Turn it up, yeah yeah yeah yeah turn it up/ Ayo, when you hear this in yo whip turn it up/ Turn it up, yeah yeah yeah yeah turn it up/ Garrott Odom Verse turn this shit up fool you should remember who you listening to/ throw them into abyss if they behave the way bitch niggas do/ my crew is indivisible just like the broken nation that resides beneath/ where jesus rules see you aint never seen the truth/ living thru abuse wasnt easy but yall needed me/ colder flavor than tcb(y)majors never meant shit to me/ a lot yall way too worried about what’s hot/ but not worried about what we’re not doing with the talents we’ve got/ opportunities missed in a sunken abyss/ sinking to darker depths in the midst of the bullshit/ speaking our untimely demises all through our lyrics/ crying for helping but its cool as long as it makes some millions/ so what you dealing?/ pain, fame or personal gain?/ its all the same when it comes to way the brain interacts with it/ so watch what you putting out cause the same thing could be rotting what's in ya/

Lyrics Curbside Jones Verse Ape shall never kill ape, keep that static out your fabrics/ Survival tactics, lift the masses like atlas, no hat tricks/ Reaper creeping, creasing his forces, time don't wait for deadstock/ That resell got you deadlocked, too late to break the headlock/ Pops said see where yo path leads you, pray away the evils/ But In the dirt is where they leave you, the klan burning down our steeples/ Moms was a teen when she faced a cop with a loaded magazine/ Snatched her out of her mustang, yo they loathe when we having things/ Ape shall never kill ape, keep that malice out yo closet/ Pause it, peep the composite, callous logic, cant applaud it/ The sense I deposit too philanthropic, and we aint going broke now/ Hence I never lost it, too ill to stop it, we can't lose hope now/ Dhrma with the patronus charm, windgardium leveosa/ Winged gaurdians where my bros are, elevate from where my lows are/ Lost a few along the way, this rap shit i can't take for granted/ I planned it, the seeds planted, grow through granite, on a planet that's panicked/ Hook Feel like Nigo in '93, hope my soul can be free/ Touch people close to me, this where I'm supposed to be/ Ape shall never kill ape so change your mind state/ Ape shall never kill ape, hol up up rewind the tape/ Feel like Nigo in '93 hope my soul can be free/ Touch those close to me, this where I'm supposed to be/ Ape shall never kill ape so change your mind state/ Ape shall never kill ape, you can't run away from fate/ OOg Verse ルーツなら敬意 餓鬼でもくらった レンタルで手にした 新作の洋楽が いつもの景色を彩るよう 高鳴った これはなんだ 変わった感覚 怖いもんなんてなかった あの頃の少年が夢を抱いて そのまま 手にした武器なら いつも正念場 飛ばすスピット 弧を描く おれはラッパー 音の間に着地 変えてく現状 今は乗るビート やり取り 重なり 色とりどり 遥か上空を風が過ぎる それに乗せて飛ばしたシード なら各地のプレイヤー 独自のフレイバー 雨のち晴れみたく現れた花のカラー お前からのパスで答え合わす English translation Respect for Roots Even the hunger was a shock I got it by rental New Western music To color the usual scenery Rang What is this Sense of change I wasn't scared The boy at that time had a dream and stayed as it was Always with the weapon you have Draw a spit arc to fly I'm a rapper Landing between sounds The current situation of changing: Now on the beat Exchange Multicolored The wind is too windy over the distance Seed that was skipped on it Then players from all over the world Unique flavor Flowers that appeared to clear up after the rain Color Answer each other with your pass Hook x2 Feel like Nigo in '93, hope my soul can be free/ Touch people close to me, this where I'm supposed to be/ Ape shall never kill ape so change your mind state/ Ape shall never kill ape, hol up up rewind the tape/ Feel like Nigo in '93 hope my soul can be free/ Touch those close to me, this where I'm supposed to be/ Ape shall never kill ape so change your mind state/ Ape shall never kill ape, you can't run away from fate/

about

Fresh off the heels of his release (Gyakusou Vol.1) with Japanese producer Ballhead, Curbside Jones returns with Floating In Between. The EP boasts 3 tracks all varying in different moods and subject matter which highlight the stylings of Curbside Jones and Japanese producer Dhrma.

Ego Trippin takes a step into the mind of Curbside Jones as he navigates social interactions and the feeling of drifting away during his day to day life. Starting with the question, "If the clouds hit the ground, who gon hold me down?" you can tell Curbside Jones has been deep in thought about his self worth and trust in others. Chicago artist Musa Reems offers a complimentary verse that gives insight on why someone from the Chi may feel as though the clouds are hitting the ground around him.

Y2K20 reveals a more confident Curbside Jones as he asks, "What you think I rap for? To sit and not use a passport?" again tapping into his worldly view of the rap game. Atlanta bred, now Florida based artist Garrott Odom delivers a verse that questions listeners and their motivation behind who they choose to support and adopt into their listening rotation stating, "speaking our untimely demises all through our lyrics/ crying for helping but its cool as long as it makes some millions."

Nigo 93 paints the reality of the world that Curbside Jones lives in while touching on racial tension, death of friends, and seeking a lifestyle of freedom one can be proud of. Curbside Jones states, "Ape shall never kill ape," repeatedly throughout the song as a guideline on how to live, inspired by Nigo's era of Bathing Ape. Tokyo based artist Momo (1/2 of Laflife) joins Curbside Jones to illustrate how following your dreams and staying afloat will keep you grounded.
