So Solo - Lumos (Produced by Dot Rotten)

I wrote this song about my battles with depression back in 2015 and finally got around to recording and releasing it this year around blue monday to raise mental health awareness and share my experiences. Lyrics below:

Hook (x2)

Feeling really stressed I know,
I’m so familiar to the lows,
I hope and pray for better days,
i really need to get away!

Verse 1

From where I’m standing at today,
Wake up go to work get paid,
Wake up go to work get paid,
The monotony drives me insane! (ahhh)
The whole lifestyle just aint the way!
(I) know I’m destined to be great,
Whole reason (why) I left JA,
Come to London, make a name,
Black timing got me late,
So I need to raise the stakes,
indecision, lack of vision wound me up in Uni’
But I’m grateful for the friends I made,
It made me hungry to be great,
This dream ain’t just for me, the whole team guh get this cake!

Hook (x2)

Feeling really stressed I know,
I’m so familiar to the lows,
I hope and pray for better days,
i really need to get away!

Verse 2

Never took anti depressants, 
Just Kid Cudi tunes and smoking on essence,
Locked in day and night I felt helpless,
Solo dolo despite all my friendships,
Losing faith no church to confess in,
Kush OJ yeah Wiz was the reverend (Pastor Wiz, pass the riz)
Preaching facts and the statements set in,
Weren’t the life that I chose,
But it’s the life I was living,
And as long as life is living, 
Then thanks should be given (Praise Jah!),
Darkest before dawn, so just know seh,
The light a guh kick in & I know what u thinking,
All this can’t be Lumos he’s always grinin’
But you see thats the problem with depression its so well hidden
Said I’m

Hook (x2)

Feeling really stressed I know,
I’m so familiar to the lows,
I hope and pray for better days,
i really need to get away!

Verse 3

Man up!
Get outta bed and stand up!
Face the world it aint that tough!
Just get on with it like us!
I’m not like you,
In a place thats cold and cruel, 
When I wake up the sun don’t shine,
All I feel is darkness consume,
No theres nothing you can do,
Maybe change your tone would you,
You ain’t sympathising you’re patronising 
and it aint cool
So don’t talk down to me
‘Cus im so so low,
Watch the vibe you bring
or I’ll go solo
Said I’m so so low
Yea I’m so solo
Don’t talk down to me
‘Cus im so so low,
Watch the vibe you bring,
Or I’ll go solo
Yea I’ll go solo
Now I’m so solo!

Hook (x2)

Feeling really stressed I know,
I’m so familiar to the lows,
I hope and pray for better days,
i really need to get away!

Lyrics

1st Verse
Feeling like Ace Boogie when he left the cleaners
All my bruddas get it now its benzes and beamers
We aint gotta talk about weight and what we eating
Just know that we linked up with the plug and had some meetings
If a brudda live it then you know a brudda speak it
Me, M and T on the M Way, speeding
We aint ever hung up on them keys like a key ring
Just know when the ball was in possession we released it
My yardie boy a problem he guh ask yuh wah ya deal wid
If ya taking long to respond he guh teef it
And Younz he a savage he like Rico in the place
If he grab the whole cake he gon mush it in ya face, like happy birthday
You know ya buggin b ,
We all looking at you like you buggin b
But thats my cousin and i love him, free the boy though
Wont stop screaming free the boy till the boy home

Chorus x2

Bruddas say they paid in full its all talk they just be bluffin (they just be bluffin)
No ribs, no rice, no champagne, you don’t eat nuttin
Bruddas say they paid in full its all talk they just be bluffin (they just be bluffin)
No ribs, no rice, no champagne, you don’t eat nuttin

2nd Verse
Yeah im feeling like Rico when he popping all them wheelies
And ladies love A ya can check a bruddas CV
I know ya man stressed cah he really wanna be me
I tell him pull ya skirt down, see me when ya see me
Whats the point of soldiers if you aint gon fucking use’em
Donnys on his toes not knowing that he can lose’em
Nowadays we aint into Rushing/Russians like Putin
My brudda its a Western in the East with them shootings
If you want that drama then its drama we gon bring
Shit hits the fan with that drama we don’t sing
So this one to my bruddas that be scuffing on the wing
And to my trappers on road screaming money aint a thing, double up
Double up, bet it right back , just to let em know that you get it like that
Double up bet it right back, just to let em know that you get it like that

Chorus
Bruddas say they paid in full its all talk they just be bluffin (they just be bluffin)
No ribs, no rice, no champagne, you don’t eat nuttin
Bruddas say they paid in full its all talk they just be bluffin (they just be bluffin)
No ribs, no rice, no champagne, you don’t eat nuttin

3rd Verse
Yeah im feeling like Mitch im broke baby and the fact is
I don’t ever trip over the money but i stacked it
Know the type of money that you keep under the mattress
Im tryna get it in like i don’t know what a tax is
Im sittin with my team, we talking over tactics
Tryna make a flip like we on our acrobat shit
Still theres bruddas creeping in the back like an adlib
Thinking that we cant hit the field like we match fit, im active
I love the game i love the hustle b
If i leave the fans still gon say they loving me
So don’t ask if im okay im cool
I just need to be around a lil love thats all
Ya right A, making money is me
I can fuck around with Keys like im Swizz beats
But i aint tryna stunt in the place
I got a G for every bump on ya face

Chorus
Bruddas say they paid in full its all talk they just be bluffin (they just be bluffin)
No ribs, no rice, no champagne, you don’t eat nuttin
Bruddas say they paid in full its all talk they just be bluffin (they just be bluffin)
No ribs, no rice, no champagne, you don’t eat nuttin

🇧🇬 Sofia, Bulgaria [София, България] Photography 📸

Last month I was fortunate enough to travel to Sofia, Bulgaria / София, България (that's how you write it in cyrillic) . The reason? To go and watch Ludogorets v Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League. This was my first time travelling to Bulgaria and it was a great trip and Sofia has many beautiful people and monuments, I look forward to visiting again ❤️?

Prior to this match I had only ever been to one other Arsenal away game and that was when we beat West Brom 4-3 on penalties in the league cup. So this was my first ever Champions League away game and first time in Bulgaria ??. Thanks to Mesut Özil’s late winner this was a night I will never forget and I’m glad the camera was rolling!

After filming the VLOG I did an interview with Robbie for ArsenalFanTV (watch below).

Kaboom, Everyting get blast off,
Inna space space so wi dance cyaa lock off
Mr chin nah tek no check,
Nuh feel seh true him smile him nah chop rass off
Reggie a him roll green,

Draw fi di 3star and rise the machines
Send fi di army and run out pon di scheme
Kck a bwoi inna face if him try diss mi team
Rse up dem di fiya
If dem try skin dem teet
Bad up which gal?!

Roll wid the flowers so u know she never stink
Bomb up di place like war plan
Jungle gyal a swing on like a tarzan
Lightning fi a gyal weh look like martian
Send her back inna space fi find a marsh man (martian man lol)
Di scheme get hot
Gwan like dem bad
Demi only have chat
Nuff whips we push
So we do road a lot
Creep up like a ninja or a cat
Sword turn inna bird
Not no parrot
When di squad link up
Not no drink up
Can’t come pon wi ends and try fuck things up
Savin the word
Monster get mince up
Megazord dem
More secure dan a brinks truck

HOWDY!!!

House of Vans X Eley Kishimoto

Last weekend Vans collaborated with Eley Kishimoto for their Living Art event. The night had a sick grime line-up and was one of the best I have been to to date. I managed to finesse my way into VIP and got onto the stage with the acts for a while. As well as the artist on the flyer below, the famous YouTuber collective, The Sidemen,  also graced the stage. P Money,  Frisco, Desperado, Jammer and Tempa T weren't on the line up either but they also blessed the mic. Unfortunately I missed most of The Square's set and Ghetts' all together but none the less it was a great event.

Wireless Festival Photo’s

My last Wireless Festival post was from the perspective of an ordinary patron enjoying the day. I was called back a week later to put my professional hat on and get some shots for Gigwise [check out their article using my pics], this was my first time doing photography was official press with closer stage access and all that jazz which was pretty cool!  Below are the shots I captured on the day.

UK Artist Bonkaz recently released his single “We Run The Block” Produced by The HeavyTrackerz which is now a street anthem. I liked the original video , which was produced by Asylum33 but, understandably the lyrics weren’t brought to life. I had always planned on making a music video using Grand Theft Auto gameplay and this was the perfect candidate.

Marcus Thomas: teenBoss

So a few weeks ago I was approached by someone from the Jamaica Observer and was asked to do an interview discussing El Seven and some of my personal achievements.

Here is an excerpt from that article

“…believe in yourself more. Start learning more languages. Do not do anything that requires a lot of self-motivation for the sake of money, or someone else’s happiness. If YOU do not feel PASSION for it, then YOU are wasting YOUR time.” -Marcus Thomas (in reflection on what he would have told himself five years ago)

the full interview can be read on the Jamaica Observer : teenAge website>>> http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/teenage/teen-boss-marcus

Lord of The Mics Outside Nike Town #L7Grime

There was a Lord of The Mics vs Rinse FM event at Nike Town, Oxford Circus as a part of  Nike's football week.

I didnt make it inside the event but stuck around outside and waited. Lots of MC's chilled outside for a good while after and Jammer kept the Lord of The Mics vibe going, hooked up some speakers outside the store and the clashing began!

I captured some shots of the clashing and MC's chilling outside with fans and friends.
