DANEJA MENTALE - "ME & MY MUSIC'

Words from Daneja Mentale:

Due to a few technical issues, my entire lyric book and original photos for Me & My Music were encrypted by a hacker using the TBC-Locker virus. The original track listing has been destroyed by a lazy-ass punk online. However, there is hope for the recovered lyrics, but this compilation by default is no longer gonna be the project I intended to release to the public. Although there will be a full version of the rough drafts, please forgive me for this unfortunate issue.

Despite the computer issues, many of the rough drafts were saved from the encryption virus. 12 of 18 tracks are new, 5 are remixes or unreleased originals. Along with a handful of interludes, this track list complete this compilation. Some songs were intended for original albums "Code Reality", "Street Corner Theme Music" and "Redemption: Home Is Where The Hate Is Pt.2".

Nailz - "The Cold, Barren, and Desolate"

Words from Nailz:

I feel like everyone is more concerned about bottle popping and trapping instead of other issues. I understand the trap. My father was the dopeman. A lot of my homeboys are either career criminals, in prison, or fighting a case. So I understand the street and the laws of the street. But, in the middle of the street wars are the people who are overlooked and forgotten. Right now there is a 10 year old kid, who is forced to raise his 3 year old sister because his mother is 23 and feels she can still hit the club and be a parent. Next door to that situation is a 17 year old kid hooked on heroin. They have no moral support, no rehab center, and no one to talk to. They will most likely be an addict the rest of their life. These are the people that have no voice. No one to talk for them. So I'll talk for them.
