All Rights Reserved. Lyrics: "I give my all to the source, You know I came with the force, No telling what’s in store, until I put it in stores, I write for readers to digest, swipe for peaking up mileage, songs reaching the pilots, that’s ‘Cause I’m speaking what god is, I, I learned patience, I drive no registration, this ain’t no thing to premeditate— just so we get it straight’s all for the for the follow up, They’ll either join, or they’ll follow us, One thing I know, they’ll acknowledge us, I, I, put the lotto up, I put that all on my birth date, No edits, no effort, coming up we ain’t know better, Lesson learned no profession, came up they said never, ever, ever, would we make it happen, coming up we ain’t know better, coming up we ain’t know better, coming up we ain’t know better, Ayeee woooo, and the world going crazy, ask god can she save me, whole world gone crazy, Ayeee woooo, and the world going crazy, ask god can she save me, whole world gone crazy, I’ve been on my wave since as long as I can— say it with me; nothing in my way, so I’m waving aye ya yo aye.. like ay ya ya yo... We just a product of patience, That was late-registration, Far past graduation, I don’t seek validation, I calibrate for results, Test what I’m saying as false, ain’t no impulse for a move that bus down, I learn who to trust now, took Big L’s, that’s a Big Pun, I’m from the 90’s like re-runs, ain’t all the suns in the sky now, Who out here down to ride now, Two for 25 back then, now it’s 5 for 5 out backgrounds, and that’s a backwoods fulla quarter crown, grab a cup, pour up and lounge, Blackmailed cause I masterbated, on a video, but when they asked for payment, Said play it, free press, no room for bragging, I speak less, I ain’t playing with no secrets, you coul... put it on blast, believe I’m coming up fast, fight for my life, dip and I jab, No edits, no effort, coming up we ain’t know better, Lesson learned no profession, came up they said never, ever, ever, would we make it happen, coming up we ain’t know better, coming up we ain’t know better, coming up we ain’t know better"

Tapping into a refreshing sound Morrison is standing his ground against any opposition. Coming through with DR.L Beats on production Switchblade is dedicated to cutting off the enemy. No doubt Morrison has been consistently dropping gems in his lyrics, and this is nothing short of an example, however, on Switchblade, we get to see a different side of the rapper. Morrison steps out to let everyone know he is grounded in building for the family and his team and nothing will stand in his way. The Swavey Producer’s signature production compliments the flow with hard-hitting 808’s and sharp synth keys harmonizing alongside gradient pads. Along the lines of Writing My Wrongs the sound stretches into an audibly comfortable territory for Morrison, representing his conviction and drive. We definitely hope to see more like this!

Tapping into a unique storyline the video expresses a message about the baggage we carry. Morrison and the Swavey Producer come together to illustrate a themed video where the things we carry emotionally and subjectively come to physical representation. The man in the video, assumed by Morrison, receives a chain from a character played by DR.L. With those beads comes an impenetrable anger and a series of bad events.

Life has so many beautiful features we are bound to overlook in such trying times. In 2020 we face many challenges, but none of that is even worth the effort if we do not take the time to appreciate what we do have. Art thrives on passion, and the music video for Basquiat captures just that. As a tribute to great art and artists Morrison Machiavelli and DR.L tap into a wave of self-expression. The Blahtian producer and artist lay down the foundation for the song behind the production and alluring hook. Morrison lays over his vibrant verse paying homage to the late-Zulu Masaai legend PHASE 2.

https://morrisonmachiavelli.com A smooth–laid back synth lace a chilling vibe as the song begins. The delicate bravado of vocals express a welcoming tone pressing through the speakers followed by a familiar trap high-hat and deep bass. The Spanish infused hook delivers a melodic temptation to the audience. The verses confront stagnation and intention while exploring sensual stimulation. Imagination offers ease of clarity for the taste of sexual content offered within the brief song leaving listeners ready for more.
