about

The All-Island Anthem.

I did a show in Saipan in May 2022 and lets just say they get down differently over there. I was at a local bar called "Safehouse" and their local DJ Big Ken Camacho played a song called Bwal Mwomwotiiw by JJ Aguon. I was trippin' so hard because everyone was getting down and turning up like they were in a club in the Bay Area. It was such a shock culturally because a song like that would definitely not work in a club anywhere else in the world. We're a 45 minute flight away, yet there's so many cultural differences despite our similarities. I flipped the original song on it's head and possibly made the littiest club banger coming from the Mariana islands. One of my great friends DJ JPogi was there when I made this beat. It took about 30 minutes and now we're here.

lyrics

Chorus:

I got some ops
Tryna get the of best me
I am the goat from islands
Talking bout me
In ya head rent free
I am the one, come and try me

Verse 1:

This a tribe, this a bloodline, rooted in the waters
From the bottom up. Micro? we macro
Stacks flowing, never stopping always going up
It’s the brand no?
This aint a test, I’m just blowing up
Success, wasn’t overnight, I kept showing up
Always getting high, cause the L’s had me low enough
Low on funds, always making plays, always roll the dice
Snakes looking in my eyes, but the Score we running up
Cheee, got an arsenal of songs, but im straight chilling
Straight feeling myself, aye feeling myself
Have the cup full, but I had to fill it myself
Young snooze working hard for generational wealth
Always move in silence I gotta goo stealth
Fake flexin’s stale, I ain't blind you fake fucks
I could read in Braille

Chorus*

Verse 2:

I be all island, all them eyes on this
Get em all excited with a sauce like this
No cappy, she call me Island Boy and Daddy
King sht, roamin with my reigns. Above average
Hahhhh
Putting islands on the map
Guam boy, neighbors cooking in the trap
Pipe dreams, turned to damn we living that
Living that. Type beat, type dream
Type to git it like that
Iso-lated, I be blessed up
Shout out the islands yeah we next up,
Got some bars for my pars,
I from where there’s sunshine,
But i'm burning with the stars
