From the recording Diss Tribute
Released exactly one year after the ghost drop of FlexAble, Diss Tribute marks a full-circle moment — not as celebration, but as confrontation.
What began as an unprompted viral emergence evolved into a direct collision with the systems that govern visibility, exposure, and control. Diss Tribute exists within that tension — dissecting the shift from organic virality to algorithmic compliance, where reach is no longer earned, but engineered.
Built on sharp, deliberate lyricism and a stripped, confrontational delivery, the track rejects passive consumption. Each line operates as both critique and reflection, exposing a landscape where artistry is filtered, throttled, and often reduced to performance metrics.
Pre-release, the track has already drawn attention within sync circles, described by Tinderbox Music as “a composition savvy, hard-hitting rap masterpiece.” Now fully released, Diss Tribute stands as both documentation and defiance — a timestamp of what it means to create within a system that increasingly demands conformity.
This is not just a diss.
It’s a record of resistance.

1. Diss Tribute
(Circum-Sonus Surrounds…)
I Peered into the Psyche, to give you Psychoanalytical
Breaking Down the Severity of Society being Hypocritical
What happened to Freedom of Speech?
We’re Supposedly a “Democracy”.
Sure, Say what you want
Being Heard has become a Bureaucracy
It’s written clearly in the US Constitution
The Issues Lie in the Diss Tribution
If you are Aware of the Institution,
then you’ll find a Solution
Unless you Invest a Heavy Contribution
You’ll be Waiting for Humanity’s Absolution
Once there was a time when Viral meant Your Execution
Now Viral, is about Algorithm Perfection for its Execution
The Level of fucked up Convolution,
Requires people to Pay for their Public Prostitution.
This has become the Norm when the World Needs Locked in an Institution.
There are tremendous amounts of Ways,
that Anybody can get Famous these Days
“Social” Media, you’ll Spend your Life Churning out Content to rack up Plays
Success comes at a Price,
where You Must Spend Money to make money Rings True
Even You can Spend Thousands of dollars
to be the Face for new Dog shampoo
Most people Believe there is a level Playing field,
not realising how much it is a Screw
You Already Got to Be in It to Win It,
Think that through.
You’ll soon realise you are being Exploited
as Nothing but a Monetary Mark to pursue
I know that I can Say What the fuck I Want,
and I can put it out there
As You Fucking Cunts Won’t Know it Exists
as I Ain’t Paying to Be Anywhere
Not that any of You Retarded Fucks would Understand, or Care
That makes Two of Us as your Petty Pathetic lives
I just Can’t bring Myself to Care
The Charts and Playlists are from the Contrived that Thrives
Mediocre Pathetic Bullshit that Soundtracks your Pitiful Lives
No Human is Free of Hypocrisy as This very Track is that in Essence
To Communicate Society’s Hypocrisy and Mentality,
with Logic has become Obsolescence
I mean it’s Clearly Fucked when Stalking was a Traumatic Ordeal
It’s a Numbers Game of Getting “Followers” now that’s the Appeal
A Prison Sentence worthy Act
Is the Aim of every Desperate Wannabe’s Tact
The Elite are Instantly elite
on these Platforms further Cementing their Status
Now everyone’s Splurging on Subscriptions and Promo
and the most Expensive Apparatus
“Haven’t you ever Thought for a moment, just What the Fuck it is You Are Doing?
Or even Notice the Number of Debts you’re accruing?
Is it Worth the End goal to be relevant for your Fifteen Minutes of Fame?”
Once you’ve got that, you Want It Again
But are Thrown Back into the Algorithm’s Game
My Psychoanalytical Assessment Diagnoses You All Are Insane
Yet it is I who is Tarnished with that Awareness so Silent to Your Delusions I Remain
