Featured on this week's episode is none other than Sayla, the enigmatic founding member of hip hop collective XXII and one half of the duo that brought us some cult hits: Dose Two. Sayla is well-known as a multi-faceted creative and has reached the pinnacles of various creative mediums such as advertising (Sayla is a Cannes Lion winner), theatre (winning Best Lyricist at the Boh Cameronian Awards for his work as a thespian and lyricist), and he also enjoys visual mediums like painting. Musically, Sayla has an extremely conceptual, experimental, poetic and fluid style as displayed on his 2017 album (Sic). Watch out for his upcoming mixtape and album set to drop this year, and visit www.sayla.space to check out his work!
Lyrics:
Gratitudes for the can-do attitude,
Double F came a long way flaggin’ up 22s,
Got the whole crew rocking new grooves,
Me and Q rockin’ old school vibin’ with the Blue School.
Gratitudes for the can-do attitude,
Double F came a long way flaggin up 22,s
Got the whole crew rocking new school,
Lemme do it easy for ya, breezy for ya listening pleasure,
I’m an adult, fool,
old school vibin to ’98 Jigga,
Biggest bustas fuel my propellers, from Big L to Big Pun to Big Ye to Big Cristopher Wallace,
I hung with the finest ballers, and the baddest bitches thirsty,
No time for the jealous bastards, let’s do business,
I’m thirsty for the guap, and the Moet and the Martell and the Sake and the Tuak,
And the Bombay, and MD and the MA – jangan cuak.
Yea, know your limit fool,
The war’s getting critical while we all self-pitiful,
Who we kidding? You?
Why we givin’ a fuck for a society with a morality that couldn’t give a fuck more,
Maybe I should write a book. Pull a Bourdain,
Go clean; Sans-codein, green, ‘cain in my veins…
Yea maybe one day. I won’t lie I be fried every Sunday ninja.
