Back to Boom Bap

It's Mello
Coming with that nineties flavour
Check it

Back in the days when I was a teenager
Before I paid taxes, before I had a day job
You could find me laying low, close to the radio
Finger on REC, cassette loaded in the tape deck
Waiting for my favorite jam like a pay cheque
And I ain't goin' nowhere if my jam ain't been played yet
An education in low end theory
To this day the sound resonates clearly
Chopped breakbeats, jazz samples looped back
Mic check, one, two, this is boom bap
No effect on you? Then just move back
Imma nod my head to it like it can be glued back
This ain't recycled; it's a revival
A new generation paying dues to our idols
My influence is tribal but you already know that
Can I get a hashtag throwback?

I'm going going, back back
I keep on going back to boom bap
I'm going going, back back
I keep on going back
I'm going going, back back
I keep on going back to boom bap
I'm going going, back back
I keep on going back

Now you can call it boom bap, you can call it back pack
Whatever you call it, don't call it a comeback
It all started with two records getting spun back
Mello on the mic, 'bout to bring a little funk back
And for that 808 sound I got love too
But this right here, this the shit that I grew up to
Like an older brother that I still look up to
A Siamese twin that I'm forever stuck to
It's like unboxing a new pair of kicks
That feeling after your very first kiss
Barbecues on the first day of summer
Breakdancing to JB's Funky Drummer
You know what it is: this is hiphop
And if you still don't get it, you should stick to Thrift Shop
But if you get it, homie put ya fist up
And make some noise until the levels reach the tip top

I'm going going, back back
I keep on going back to boom bap
I'm going going, back back
I keep on going back
I'm going going, back back
I keep on going back to boom bap
I'm going going, back back
I keep on going back

I'm going going back back
I'm going going back back

My man Faheezy he be bringing it back
My man CB he be bringing it back
O-Flow you know he bringing it back

DJ Stylewarz is itching to scratch

You're listening to the sounds of the Mello Manifesto

Rule number one: keep it simple
Number two: keep it honest
