- "we've reached a point now where they're mindless when it comes to create. Seems to me like they cant buy the premise.. Incidently, one of them signed a letter which ive characterized as Before Taxes" -
Now this is just the gross amount before the taxes
Like before this hip hop turned into rap shit
The gap in between. Somebody gotta intervene. I'm the letters M and C
Tracks from Slimkat, half of Khemystery
And I got a tendency to turn words to imagery
Stand for something, or u just might fall for anything
Now what I bring to the table is this tho
A couple lil' gems, you can call it the intro-
-Duction, I've just been.. Finishing theEARN up
So in the meantime, here.. Take this & turn it up
EP stands for Expect Potency
On a quest to gain respect locally to overseas
I guess a leader's gonna lead, followers are gonna follow
And today is all I got, take advantage is the motto that I live by
My chin high, trynna get mines
Quite precise, that's the result when my pen slides
...Across the straight lines, dividing the page
Before Taxes, start it off this way..

Even calling this a DMV hip hop classic undersells it. Oddisee grooving head knocking beats and his, XO and yU's filthy bars make this a must-cop from sea to shining sea. Wesley
An Adult Swim/Mello co-release finds the former Def Jux MC spitting tales of a post-apocalyptic future present over L'Orange's heady beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2016
Braver Heart Music. Trust the soul Music. Trip over a rock and bust your head music but get back up and brush yourself off music. Galactic Fear me Music. Step over that to get to that music. Jumping over my life to get to my next life music. Visually Visual Very well contained music. jumpoveryourodds
