“Your friends who were foes who didn’t know you were chose,” raps Elzhi, encouraging listeners to look within themselves and find glory. “You a king, you a diamond, you a comet, you a rose.” Swerving the traditional structure, Elzhi’s relentless schemes continue to unfold like a focused stream-of-consciousness. “All I see while I smoke to get in the proper headspace,” he continues. “In case there’s a test I gotta ace, cause the racist thought I would be dead, in jail, or at home with an ankle brace.”

Check out the latest from Elzhi now, and check back on September 25th for his brand new album Seven Times Down Eight Times Up.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

All I see while I smoke to get in the proper headspace
In case there’s a test I gotta ace
Cause the racist thought I would be dead, in jail, or at home with an ankle brace
