  • Limited Edition T-shirt (Cardinal red shirt w gun metal ink)
    T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album

    This is actually my favorite color combination. The picture is a little deceiving. The shirt's more like a brick red. The "gun metal" ink looks super sick too. It has a slight sparkle which actually makes it look like grip tape on a skateboard or black/grey sand paper. It really pops.

    Includes unlimited streaming of the album via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Sold Out

  • T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album

    Silver & Black for all the Raider fans out there. ***make sure to wash inside out cuz for some reason the bright silver ink fades after washer quicker than the other inks. Actually ends up with a cool slightly aged look, but just not as bright.***

about

Shames Worthy on the mic.
D-ski The Illeagle produced the music.

lyrics

I was a "USA High/City Guys/Saved By the Bell."
I used to play the background, you probably couldn't tell.
But if you knew me well I did that to get my mail. (my money)
Cuz I was only smart enough to not end up in jail.
"Hang Time/Malcolm & Eddie/In the House" too.
That's how I kept my shoe game up in '92.
I keep 'em looking brand new. I just KNEW I was cool...
Too bad all my dope kicks I outgrew.
From the Huarache's to the all white Penny's,
Air Max and the Jordan's had plenty.
But time rolled on man. Yup, they all gone.
Hindsight 20/20. Nowadays I'm overdrawn.
"young buck to Vet. No gold, just respect..."
I try and recollect just so I could Re-"Connect"
You gotta take it all in stride
and if you can't, then dip. <-No formaldehyde.
Just ride. Right?

In a car, on a skateboard or bike,
motorcycle, quad, jet-ski, whatever you like.
I'm saying, even a bus or train if it keeps you sane.
I know it's hard to maintain cuz I aint got it like Diddy nor 50.
Aww what a pity. I can still cruise the city.
Besides man its just way too pretty to be indoors anyway.
Get out, enjoy the day.
Breathe the fresh air, feel the sunlight.
More so the latter cuz the first, well not quite.
But please, you still got the beautiful breeze
blowing through the leaves of the trees.
I love days like these when its seems
even the temperature's whatever's your perfect degrees.
Its all good guaranteed.
Just watch your speed when you're coasting
to keep your bones and pockets from getting broken
when you ride.

I gotta "Keep on Trucking"
even if it seems like I don't get back nothing
for everything I put in. All the hard work
and all the times I got burnt, man it still hurts.
But it made me who I am so I'm trying to let it go.
Sow seeds? Better know you gotta let 'em grow.
It all takes time. I'm learning that now.
But I stand my ground and never back down.
You can't get stuck in a rut either.
Go ahead and get up.
Who wants to be an underachiever?
Best believe you need to make progress.
Yes, even if it means getting stuff off your chest.
Keep it moving, dippin' or street cruising.
If you got homies following you, don't lose them.
Trying to catch up is when it gets dangerous.
But you can find me in the streets of Los Angeles.

Just a quick ride, get inside.
Dip-dip-dive. Slip-n-slide
No matter what side you reside.
We all just trying to survive.
Drive.
Just a quick ride, get inside.
Dip-dip-dive. Slip-n-slide.
No matter what side you reside.
We all just trying to survive.
Its good times.
