Coonen - Prior Elevation X Soul Dang / NBAST023
Dropping a brand new track by one of Hip Hop's most forward-thinking artists Coonen. The soul brother enriches #dastoulthang with his anthem 'Prior Elevation' (produced by HDSN) and takes you back where rap music all started. Does great Hip Hop have to do more with lyrics, flow, attitude, swagger, performance, or off-stage antics? Whatever the case may be, Coonen has worked all his life and put his career on the line to perform heartfelt flows to the masses and that's exactly what you can hear, when you dive into this joint.
Jazz Trumpets through the eardrums is Relief,
Bass pumpin into ya Lung is Believe, rhymes on My Mind
got Bars for Terabytes, Jazz Lives forever shoutouts to Phife in Paradise
On the Internet they whisperin bout Fake celeb booty Gags,
I hope the Hype is over some Bad and bouje track,
My Rapskills is an inborn Afrodisiac, don't wear no Fake yeezy boost
i'm a true Sneakerhead, Bro HDSN Told me this is nuthin but a soul thang,
Took it in Abloh manere cut it and reput things,
The combination out of it a like a Win Win,
so basically what I'm sayin meant some common sense,
Been Doin too Long its time to Represent,
don't Need to ask again u See the Jesus chain,
its not about the value, its bout the dedication
Musical Medication Free of the Soul is
prior elevation.
they think they got too many dreams to fulfilll
it won’t happen until they prostitute for a deal
that dream is just a lil step away so stop to conceal
its 20-17 but real still recognize real
thats why hdsn and me teamed up to strike back
against everyday vibekillers and their psych attacks
try that and u get conscious straight out the cypher raps
with doin it for more then a decade comes this side effect
of dopeness
almost on every occasion i’m the stonetest
and please don’t tell me u almost didn’t noticed
deliver bar for bar for u to quote and
on point like the needle on the tone and
the act of dream hunting for your soul
stand up your lazy ass put a step into the road
not a step back into a role
stop faking the jazz cuz the jazz was born in Soul
