I’m not tripping
Just getting better
Here’s a valentine from Supa Bwe, the Mausoleum EP. You can count on Supa to always bring it, he is a passionate and firey artist. Mausoleum was recorded at Hurt Everybody Studios and this EP took me on an emotional journey. Mausoleum touches on themes of lost relationships, aloneness and betrayal with lines like: “Every time I make friends, they become my old ones” and “Hurt Everybody, MFers can’t break us. Everybody worried about the break up, wake up.” I really like all seven tracks, there are features by Jaymz V, Blakkass Westley, Cadillac Duke and Mick Jenkins. Supa handles much of the production but brings in Mulatto Beats, Caleb Stone and Samii Beatz for the rest. I find myself singing “Dead Americana” often, the track was produced by Mulatto and includes a Cadillac Duke feature. “Dead Lift” is energizing. “Judas (outro)” featuring Mick Jenkins is really something, a classic sounding and moving song with great warmth and hurt. Spend some time in Supa’s Mausoleum.
Excerpts from “Judas”
“I can see you and the Romans approaching
to throw shade on our lives
This is supposed to be our time
We worked, we all shined
We supposed to grind
When it’s hard times
Look at you now cutting all ties
I know loss, I know losing
I know, I know truth
I know the cross, I know Judas
I know, I know you” – Supa Bwe
“I’ve been down and up and down again
Couple scratches on my crown again
I get lost and then I found my friends
The ones that hold me down
You supposed to drown
That shit real right
This shit just don’t feel right
Down” – Mick Jenkins
