this is what real hip hop sounds like.
“Shorty said it was the charm in me/Said she on her period so drove to the pharmacy/Bought her a pack of aleve and told her that i gotchu/ You made me the man i am tell me something i’ll not do/Remember you use to fuck with that lame his name was abdul/Know a ninja bad to to the bone not talking fossil/Now this ninjas tagging along they want that achuu/In a predicament wonder what would pops do/He probably say listen to your mother/Stop addressing all your haters and appreciate your lovers./Life is like a movie can you add a little butter on that popcorn/They said i been bugging out since my pops gone…pops gone…they said i been bugging out..” – MoRuf
“The way you lay your bed thats the way you sleep on it” -RIP pops

DC -February 23rd – Red Bull Music Academy presents a conversation with Sinden & Jesse Boykins III at The Dunes (1402 Meridian Pl NW) 7pm-10pm
I wrote this back in november while I was out in Madrid during my stay at The Red Bull Music Academy alongside Gora Sou, an 18 year old producer from Germany. Its one of 3 or 4 songs I wrote while I was there. As soon as he played me the track I already had lyrics by time I was done listening. This song will also be featured on my next release ZULU GURU. stay tuned. #schwaza
“This song is the perfect explanation for what it means to be a human being in love with danger and risk-taking in relationships,” – Jesse Boykins III
Lyric :
Never thought I’d be this way,
holding on to yesterday how far we’ve gone
missing steps, your lips would say,
the pressure’s stunned into decay
i need your warmth
moments blend like seasons do,
i need the times when im with you
the daze are lost, breathing starts to slow me down
so every presence levitates when you’re around
Suddenly Sudden, we’re here to win
I won’t say no, my how we blend
to make the perfect shade of blue
I know the way to yesterday
just look up in the sky today , see our tomorrow
I can’t intend to lock our hands no
I’d rather this wild romance . be coincidence
On Nov 11th 2011 I had the honor of being brought in by Nike and The Bowery Stadium in NYC to design my own Destroyer Jacket. This is what I came up with. ^^^
“We Are The Reawakening Of The Romantic Movement”
During the fall of 2011 I was asked to stop by the Translation office in NYC run by Steve Stoute. I spoke on my musical journey, The Romantic Movement, & performed a couple tunes alongside David Linaberg (Acoustic Guitar)
“We Are The Reawakening Of The Romantic Movement”
There is a misconception when one is lost in themselves because society can miss the truth behind it. This video is a pure introduction to Jesse Boykins III’s soul and takes a piece of his mind and displays it for the world be a part of. There is the reality of being alone, but also the desire to lust for something that inspires and assists the creation of beauty, a Zoner.
