"Born Alone, Die Alone" Breakdown.
I'mma have this up on my myspace blog eventually (I lost my password and dealing with myspace support is a bitch!) But as of right now the tape is doing pretty good for an unknown guy from Baltimore...it's at about 990 downloads in 5 days. If you haven't downloaded it yet well hurry up!!
http://www.zshare.net/download/603554054743afe7/
Anyway here's the breakdown, just a look into what i was thinkin when i made the songs..
Through the Sun Lyte - This was just a song I wanted to introduce myself to the world with...where I'm from & why I do what I do...it sums me up as an individual
(We Are..) Born Alone, Die Alone - This one is what the entire tape is about. We're all born alone and when the time comes we'll return to wherever we came from alone. It's not a literal but more spiritual thing..& I touch on why I feel that it's like this..& of course had to have the original inspiration at the end of the track.
The Mellow - This is a song about my "favorite lady" if you haven't gotten it yet..just breathe..relax..follow the flow. I just wanted to make something lyrical that gets enhanced when you get high to it. "if you ain't mellow enough you won't get what i've told ya..."
Directions (feat. 810) - I wanted to make a song about the directions life takes us on..we all have different paths. I hit up 8 & he was down for it. I think we played the metaphor pretty well but i'll let the world be the judge of that.
Alone (interude) - A spoken word piece by a good friend that I really liked because it helped describe me & my mood, not only while making this project but sometimes in general..I do feel alone.
Our Little World (feat. Black Diamond) - Self explanatory...I wrote it as a letter originally & I was gonna give to her. This was like 2 years ago but I said fuck it, threw it into one of my notebooks like maybe one day she'll get it..While I was making this project I found it so I was like fuck it i'll record it. Still stand by every word...
The Right Feeling - This is a song about me & my relationship with Hip Hop. I have a real love/hate thing going on with Hip Hop, and since music is a reflection of my life it's like when things go right I'm feeling the music (my girl) when I'm really not right she just can't help me..and as time passes it seems as if i'm often wrong instead of right...When I wrote the song I was at the lowest point I can ever remember myself being at, for at least 2 weeks i was completely depressed and this was a product of me trying to escape somehow.
Every Need (feat. Black Diamond) - It's not a typical love story lol..it's about addiction..drug & otherwise..wanted to put a different spin on a "love song" & i used examples from my life & some of my friends as inspiration for it
Done Wit It (feat. 810) - No names lol had some shit on my mind about a girl that I had to get off..my attack on the "friend zone" lol...8 had his 2 cents to add as well, it came out great. One of my favorite tracks, imo one of the best that i've ever made.
Black Soul Lust - This one is about black people & us as a race at all..sometimes we do live up to those negative stereotypes from my point of view & this is me conflicted about what is right..but in the end truthfully we all do lust for these things.
I Wanna Go Outside (Interlude) - Represents every relationship I've had with the opposite sex. I didn't spit on it because I felt the silence sums it all up & the clips speak volumes. They're from the movie "Closer". [It also sets up the remainder of the album, it's a "moment of clarity" where I realize...]
Dawn at Night - I actually took inspiration from always going out to this area with my friends & gettin high & doing random shit. felt like expressing it as a song. [Gotta get high...]
HurRaneYe - Yes I wrote a goodbye letter to alcohol. I had quit it for the longest time. I have since relapsed...sue me lol. [& I gotta drink...]
Remedy - It's me seeking help, I also wrote it at one of the lowest points in my life..The quote is from the movie "No Country for Old Men" ...It's sums up what I have to say about this track..I've been putting up with a lot of bullshit & i have to get past it [& I'm still seeking help]
Greener Dayz - ...The god honest truth is that this was a suicide letter I was writing out...I figured that if I wrote it out as a rhyme the world would at least know, (in my death), that I had a talent that today seems like is not appreciated...After I wrote it out it was like 3 or 4 am in the morning I walked around my college campus & was about to do it on my way back to my room but for some reason i just didn't...i kept the rhyme for a while & when this project finally came up between mydus & I, I was searching for an album name...the very last line stuck out (that & the fact that i was listening to nas' illmatic & az's doe or die nonstop at the time)...so much that I decided to make it into a song & make an album about "being born alone, & dying alone". This album is like everything in between being born alone & dying alone. So that's how this song & this project came about..[because i think i'm suicidal]
((A Beautiful Day - I added this song because I felt that the album ended on too much of a grim note & wanted to have something upbeat & positive to take it out instead. And by the time the project was finished i was starting to feel positive about my music & life slightly again.))

The Black Sunn x Mydus - Born Alone Die Alone.
http://www.zshare.net/download/603554054743afe7/
So, this is the project that Mydus & I have been working on for the past two months..It's something that I'm proud I can say we finished because from my view I put everything into every lyric I wrote down & spit for it..& that's simply because Mydus brought beats to the table that were just insane, it was impossible not to.. I want to show the world that Baltimore has a voice that's more than just drug dealing and murder..some people may not like that but I'm not one to hold back what I gotta say..So I'm asking you to download this and if you enjoy it, give it to someone else who you believe would love it too..& just keep it movin'..That's all I ask..I hope you enjoy what we've brought to the world..
I'mma have a breakdown for ya'll sometime next week...
PEACE!!

And He's Back.
Peace ya'll it's been a minute since i've updated my website or my blog on the internet, i had to take a break to deal with life for real & evalutate my plan.
I know I had promised that "Rather Unique" was coming these past two months but I reassessed the situation and realize that joint right there needs to be heard by as many people as possible..and just putting it out wouldn't cut it, it wouldn't get to as many people's ears that i'd like it to.
So I decided to save that joint for the summer. Don't worry it's ready..the world just has to get ready for it. That's why May 22nd I'm dropping my next tape "Born Alone, Die Alone". It is a very personal joint that I took time to craft exclusively with Mydus behind the production. It touches on the very core of my being, so I wanted to get that out to let the world know more about me, The Black Sunn, before I drop some really beautiful shit that people won't appreciate with "Rather Unique" ..I want the world to hear my voice. So this approach will hopefully get the most ears possible. I'm confident in it.
So bear with me folks. I'm gonna put out a new song around May 5th..I'm not going anywhere...get to know the name
PEACE

Disconnected.
I can't explain how I've been these past few days...it's beyond the word "disconnected". I realize I am disconnected from a lot of the world now...I don't indulge into the same mindless and petty behavior as some of my peers and even friends...I ain't even tryin to say that what they do is bad but it's just not me. I've always been this way to a degree but lately (and even more so as I dive further into my music than ever before) I have just felt more isolated than normal. An anomaly...Just...someone who is alone within a huge crowd...
I want to find the answer to this mental segregation but my drive to do this music is just too great to stop and seek help like...I have so much to say & I want everyone to hear it and the only way to have that happen is to stay on my grind. I want respect and beyond that fuck it all...it's all peripheral human bullshit that we create to indulge ourselves in...I'm about the fuckin art and that's it. Rather Unique is special to me but I've already completely it in my head and moved on... (even though it's not all physically recorded yet...it's about 60-70% done). I'm already planning and writing/associating already written songs with this next project I'm doing exclusively with Mydus...yea just me & Mydus, I'm going to call it Born Alone, Die Alone.
And well that title fits everything that I've been feeling right about now...ironically the sound scape I'm coming with it is gonna be a pleasant contradiction of the topics I plan to dive into...I'm sick like that...maybe too much into my own little world...fuck it, I believe it's genius to lure people into my own little sickness...heh...fuck vanity, fuck being correct, fuck morals, fuck the word fuck, fuck it all...I need a grip.

Hello Doctor.
Even though things are looking bright for me musically, I feel like I'm on the brink of another depression. I can't seem to get my school and love life right it seems. The only thing right is this music...
...It's whatever though...I'mma just throw my all into this shit and keep going...regardless of the circumstances...
Late March I plan on putting out my Rather Unique tape with the help of illRoots and after that...I have something special...because we all are Born Alone, and Die Alone.
Theme for the day is Gravediggaz - 1-800-Suicide...had to take it back for these feelings I have...fucking feelings yo.
