Clarity X Benway - Behind Every Squirming Thing

He said, "She said, 'This love taught you how to feel and now you're prepared for something greater. The capacity for love one possesses for the self is directly proportionate to the capacity to carry that love outward toward all else, and seeing as your being is one single thread woven in the infinite intergalactic tapestry of the miraculous and intimate, it was imperative for the stimulus of our love to wake your quiescent essence of the omniscient eternal source, Shiva, Elohim. Whatever loss you experience from this brokenhearted consequence is a blessing from that very source, the voice of mysterious, so you may charge ahead and pass along to other men and women and whatever identity or amenity that they're living in the law that you now comprehend, which is nothing here is separate or different or disconnects from the aforementioned tapestry with no beginning and no end, and how you treat the self is relative to how we treat that very tapestry. Set fire to your own face, and a burn emerges in the patterning. Be gentle with your body and with your mind and all that opulence, and you won't need some outward alien when the savior is endogenous, and if you ever need a reminder or some way to travel back, remember, Mushrooms. Hip-Hop. Must love cats.'" 

Jewish women can be mad loquacious.

Zigs - "Everything Will Be Fine"

This is Zigs. Her song is so nice you might almost believe her for a second. You can hear more from her here. This is the the firsthand account of a reporter present for the execution of Mussolini: 

While I watched, a civilian tramped across the bodies and dealt Mussolini‘s shaven head a terrific kick. Someone pushed the twisted head into a more natural position again with a rifle butt. 
Although the Duce’s upper teeth now protruded grotesquely, there was no mistaking his jaw. In death, Mussolini seemed a little man. He wore a Fascist Militia uniform — grey breeches with a narrow black stripe, a green-grey tunic and muddy black riding boots. A bullet had pierced his skull over the left eye and emerged at the back, leaving a hole from which the brains dripped. Mistress Petacci, 25 -year-old daughter of an ambitious Roman family, wore a white silk blouse. In her breast were two bullet holes ringed by dark circles of dried blood.
The mob surged and swayed around the grisly spot. One woman emptied a pistol into the Duce’s body. “Five shots!” she screamed. “Five shots for my five murdered sons!” Others cried: “He died too quickly! He should have suffered!” But the hate of many was wordless. They could only spit.

Clarity & Buddy Holly Flight Simulator - Hot Wire Heart

If you've ever grown tired of programmed beat patterns and their live-drummed alternatives and wondered what it might sound like for an MC to rhyme over instrumentals that aren't necessarily immediately identifiable as belonging to one genre or another, well, there are actually plenty of examples of that out there, but, without knocking any of those, this one sounds like it wasn't forced into existence as much as it was called up out of it. There's syncopation and groove and reverence for psychedelics, yes, but not necessarily an indebtedness to that milieu, or any other, for one gets the sense that any bill of service rendered, psychological or otherwise, has now been settled in full. By all means, name your price though.

Clarity - One Heroic Dose

Co-founder of Conceptual Elements and New Muse Productions, Clarity is the Long Island hip-hop Aldous Huxley, opening doors of perception in the house of genre clash, a kaleidoscopic Kool-Aid Man crashing through the walls between rap and spoken word poetry, with One Heroic Dose.

This album was recorded live at East Setauket's Velvet Lounge in 2014. Another was recorded there June 11 (when Clarity opened for Kool Keith!!!) and should be coming soon.

Cali Blaze - Deep Cover

In making his case for Deep Cover, Cali Blaze typed the following: "i got shyt for da streets I got shyt for da whip I got shyt for u to pump u up in da gym i got shyt for da clubs to turn up n throw bands to i try to keep it as 100 on my tape as I do for myself everyday i talk about da hustle gettin money but yu never see me talkin bout no lambos n fake shyt i dont got its real out chea so if yu hear da whole tape youll hear my kinda sound n wanna ride da wave !" You will also hear his wavy auto-tune vocals and some smoothly sinister beats by MalTar Music, a production group based out of Babylon. Cali Blaze reps Hempstead, though he and his team UCA (Unstoppable Cash Addicts) went to West Hempstead High.
