Welcome back to savage exchanges
Here, can somebody explain please?
Every time a royal is having a baby
I feel like I’m living in Gavin and Stacy
Wait. Is that reference dated?!
Fine ‘cause this face comes straight from the 80s
I’ll put you through your paces
It’s so hard to find good conspirators lately
Fake news, deep fakes and the deep state
Keep folks glazed on cheap cocaine
This a new remedy for the sickness
Toxic shock to get felt on the Richter
Mate why so glaiket?
I been on this since Limmy said gies yir jaiket
We are collaborators We are collaborators
We are collaborating re-al contamination
You are the state of fear and I'm an agent
God bless you sir. As-Salāmu Alaykum
Nostalgic for an imperial nation
That crumbles under closer examination
Hard Brexiteers claim their booking travel agents
Bon voyage hope yi get detained at immigration
OWR: Old white and racist
Caught in a sleeper hold by the Matrix
Thinking the skin yir in makes you diff-er-ent
You’re not an expat mate you’re an immigrant
You don’t know which century you’ve been living in
You’re not poetry mate you’re a limerick
Dumb things Mal-funk-shin
Assump shins Dis-rup-shin
Bairns not bombs for yir luncheon
We want drums not drones ya dumplin’
Rising tensions
No NHS and no pensions
No Post Office, no assisted living
And you wonder why there’s no community spirit
I’m taking cheap shots at Jacob Rees-Mog
Blood suckers know the people they can feed off
Send this line of minor Etonians
Off to SA and have em mining zirconium
This is a reverse kill switch
Sound the alarm, this is not a drill kids
Raise the alert, smash the glass I’m still blitzed
In case of emergency get out yir phone and film this
Palestine's a friend of mine
It’s past time to end apartheid
How’s it a heretical view
To question Benjamin Netynyahu
Agitprop is an insult
Not hip-hop – an insult
I’m standing on stage with a live grenade
And when I let it fall you could hear a pin drop
I watched the Amazon on Fire
On ma Amazon Fire
Tried to log out the planet
It said ‘your password’s expired’
You implied that we generalise with no mission
Which is weird cause I thought I'd been pretty specific
And just cause I think we should all get along
You seem to think I’ve no content in ma songs?
I’m interested in commonalities
Building bridges while you’re bombing alleyways
What I believe in is being good and decent
It’s weird you don’t see that as just humans being
Can I kick it? Yes you can't
Wait a minute – Who you calling a can't?
I'm a can of worms that you don't want tae open mate
Too many years nose pressed to the coal face
Officials are paid off to instigate wars
While publicly wringing their hands and shouting ‘Praise God’
Conspiracy theorists can’t be serious howling from crazed blogs
Information overload, I’m needing to take stock
Wait stop, Infobesity too much mass info
Force feeding me, call it Foie Gras Syndrome
An embattled and embittered public
Rise up when municipal VR feed is interrupted
First round of virus got the frail and the weak
The sound of silence while we stay in and sleep
Next comes the violence Power cuts, riots and a blaze in the street
I haven’t even been able to Google ma own name in a week
So many people doing cocaine
Delivery drivers drapping aff need their own lanes
_ cooncil cut wi a claymore
like Brexit yi get what yi pay for
3 for 80 I believe
Me, I’m 50/50 on whether or not
we prop up the economy
Clocking in over an hour, a real "Who's Who" of voices over the Astronaut's audio productions in many styles. Supported this for the Ast-Ast and some of my favorite rappers: Texture, Solareye, Laughing Gear (Eaters!), Harlequinade (Soleni), Replicator, and Tickle. Love what is going on in Scotland's hip hop tribe. Oddio Overplay
Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie
