[Interlude:] I'm on an elevated plane, Above the clouds on a different planet, I planned it, wrote it in my planner, To plan, to live my life the way I plan to, I'm not new, older than the fossils, Deep in the core, I soar, Over volcanoes, survived tornadoes, Mother earths nature, rooted in me, It's essential, existential, Moonrise, I met you Sitting in your sorrow, wallow Your screams in the hallow halls, Of a dorm, I'm not norm, A different form, of existence Quick lipped, a quick flip, Of words and I'm heard, Sheep the heard, A shepherds word, Is all that counts, Don't cry wolf, I am the wolf Moonrise, deceiftul eyes Lunar eclipse of the soul

I took the reigns off, chainsaw, Break off, I ain't soft, Killed or be killed That's lame sauce, Without family success is vain, dawg So build a village, Forget the privilege Black, brown, white we all in it, All hands in the cottony fields, Every mouth eating at every meal, Our souls fed by the peoples spiels It feels as if this life could be real. It will if we build it they will come, I've seen it in the movies, my dreaMs truley, I need a loose leaf, We are loose leaves, Detached from our branch, And tree rooted in the ground, I rep mine you rep yours, But this world is our town.

about

From Day One:

With his first conceptual music piece, AB reaches back to his roots and upbringing to paint vivid images of what it was like growing up in Washington Heights, NY. A first generation Dominican American, AB offers up a new perspective of what it means to make it "Out The Hood".

Feeling censored by his previous platform, AB uses his childhood influences and experiences of the world, to deliver powerful punchlines, targeted jabs, and slick story telling, putting together a rugged, uncensored, and emotionally driven project.

True to the authentic NYC HipHop sound "From Day One" will have you head knocking and lyric hopping from start to finish.
