forever.





[History repeats itself and that's just how it goes

Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows
Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with Rock-n-Roll
Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and then Macklemore
While silly niggas argue over who gone snatch the crown
Look around my nigga white people have snatched the sound
This year I’ll prolly go to the awards dappered down

Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile...]

.....She asks me, "Why don't you ever claim me on social networks or let anyone know that we are talking?"

     I already know what she assumes.  She thinks I keep my relationships hidden because I want the freedom to cheat, lie, and be dishonest.  Infidelity.  Assumptions couldn't be further from the truth...

     A quiet relationship guarantees that it lasts as long as both partners stay interested.  There is no pressure from the outside.  But once we open up our love to parents, family, and friends, their own opinions about romance and passion corrupt the trust that we have started to build with each other.  You'll realize that random outsiders will start to create impossible expectations for us.


#RELATIONSHIPGOALS





























, if we really want to last, we must build, develop, struggle, love, lose, fight, laugh, cry, and grow alone.....  together  . Because forever is a very long time, and trying to make it to forever is only a 2 person job...

Winter Songs




;It's winter break but back in school she didn't learn much, she wants to drink,


but see, at home she doesn't work much...

******************************************************

                ***************************************************************






Let's start off with a couple facts:

- I think I'm the only one openly admitting that I don't want to be in a relationship right now
- we're too young to not think we're iconic
- Cypher Clique is considered the most impactful music conglomerate in Delaware because of its consistent performances and abundance of new material
- spanish women never get old
- You sat on Call of Duty for 3 years after high school and let life pass you by... then you joined the military thinking this would fix things, but after a 4 year stint saluting the flag and chasing white men around old dirt roads, you look down to find yourself on a plane back to the same place you grew up in to face the same problems you were facing when you first picked up that x-box controller...
- we haven't even gotten started yet...

baby, You Wintertime Cold...



Dover, Delaware we've been at it for a long time.  My whole life practically.  Remember how wild some of these winters have gotten? From all of the New Year's bangers, to birthday parties, to the Christmas day Mike and I spent with 6 different women in the same Pink House on 208 north state street...





Don't let this town ruin you..

[And if you're pillow talking with the women that are screwing you, just know that she gon tell another nigga when she through with you..]
--------------------------------------



Regardless of the genre, people are noticing that we're making some of the best music in Delaware right now.  And there's so much more coming.  There's duckets of new music, videos, tour dates, Cypher Clique clothing, events, and blog posts coming early next year but the song you're reading about now is different.  This is a Winter Song...







In the winter the city slows down.
Most of the people our age have been in school or working full time for the past few months.
In the winter, dance and day parties are replaced by bonfires and smoke sessions.
As complicated and messy as they get, relationships thrive in the wintertime where Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine's Day dominate everyone's Instagram news feed.
Every winter brings with it  new opportunities to stand out.
New opportunities to discover yourself.
New opportunities to takeover.

THE SUMMER'S OURS, THE WINTER TOO --

"top down in the winter, that's what winners do"...


*brah, Corey made the newspaper on Christmas.. who does that?


BIG shoutout to my big brother Corey Crawford -

set goals. chase dreams. don't give up. inspire others. be great. shit is easy.











































the Cypher Clique and TRIBE.BEATS have collided (as they always do) to write, engineer, record, sing, mix, and create a beautiful song that Delaware can toast to during the winter.









Because the summer's mine...

Rakim In 88 (prod. Ali!)

HotNewHipHop.com Exclusive 

It's about to be a brand new year. As I reflect on the last few months I realize the possibilities are endless.


Now more than I ever I think I make the best music in the entire state. I made that decision at some point during this past summer. 

More and more gets achieved every year. I love progress and accolades. They make you appreciate the hard work you put into your craft... I feel myself getting more distant from certain people that I've known for years. "New shit don't excited me no more". From this point everyone involved in this brand needs to focus and lock in more than ever. We opened for Dom Kennedy and Sir Michael Rocks in a 12 month span. We went to Atlanta and represented as one of two acts from the State. 2015 is all about expanding on everything. Canada is just a flight away. Texas is just a flight away. Travel while you can. It's a very beautiful part of life. 

I'm really going to start stressing how nice I am at this shit. 


A couple days ago someone approached me and told me I talk a lot of shit. I told him I only talk about things I'm good at so if I'm talking shit it's 100% factual. Being humble was something we used to do in 2011/2012. A lot has happen since then. It'd be a lie for me to not feel myself in this current local climate. I see a lot of part time rappers wasting studio time and internet storage space. The basis of anything is consistency. If you lack that your whole shit is jacked. Dedication mixed with preparation brings elevation. If your heart's not in it get out the way. There's no time to waste.





I promise to never stop going in (word to my Rich Homie named Quan). There's a lot of music coming out in these next few months. Happy songs, sad songs, love songs, cut songs. These tracks are just the soundtrack to the life of a bachelor. Listen to it and you might learn something.






I'm from Delaware...
 Yall hate it here? 
Do you hate the state or do you hate yourself?
