"The open mic has been proving ground for young performers for decades, regardless of genre. For me it created a space to express myself in one of the most freeing ways, always hoping to grab a new ear or two. This particular acapella is one I've performed locally for a number of years, and now with the upcoming release of this new project I can share with everyone what folks in my backyard have always known." - Stik Figa
lyrics
Live from the middle of the ghetto and the street
where they cook cocaine, keep the metal and the heat
pop that thing the federal police,
yea that's what it is, yea that's what it be.
Raw as it get's with the awesome-est spit,
ya'll call it quit still fall in the pit,
it's ya boy Stik and I rock it again,
while I hold time back and I'm stopping the wind.
Ah, is it him? He still got it hemmed,
he do what he do while y'all following trends,
I say what I say like the mic is my kin,
and I'm reaching in deep for the music within.
Junt give you chills and it crawl in ya skin,
I'm raw as it get's, I thought I'd repeat, y'all obsolete,
Stik get it crunk and then knock out ya teeth on the hardest of beats.
T-O-P, Memphis, Tennessee, Little Rock is with me when I sovereignly speak,
got it all in my reach, so if ya'll want the beef, well the reach for your piece, piece! peace?
Sensitive imminent images bending 'em back
I'm sending them cats where they belong, you heard my song before,
ready to spit it and murder war, MC's ain't nothing but herbivores, kicking that shit that I heard before.
Unlimited vision to get what I'm getting,
I stay on my pimping and hurt these foes.

Hella Personal, regardless of your experience, there are a multitude of tracks that speaks both generally and specifically to the human experience.
Writ large, it's a post-modern microcosm of being human.
Writ small, it's a vibe tmomonet
