about

This is an ode to Hip Hop and the undergroud and foundational artist that helped to shape Nac's view and influenced the sound profoundly. The song pays homage to several iconic artstist and groups, unfortunalely cant name every single one cause of song structure etc. but it says enough for you to get the picture.

Released as a single this is the last track on the Listen (Deluxe Edition) called Listen outro but we remastered it and released as its own track. We called it Prelude to Vision as it give a hint to the full length album titled Vision by Nac One and Xcluesivbeatz coming in April 2024.

lyrics

When I first heard the God Rakim
I wanted to be like him KRS, G-Rap, Kane and then
Came in the native tongue Flavor unit and L.O.N.S.
The Freestyle Fellowship representing the West
I’m talking that Organized Confusion Diggin in the Crates
got bars that bang hard We spit it in your face
I’m a GangStarr who knows the code of the Street
Protect your neck when I’m flowin over the beat
My Supernatural Freestyles got the Juice
Drop science like Craig G just drop the loop
No need for a hidden truth listen duke
I’m straight hip hop like group home I’m livin proof
Rest In Peace to Daniel Dumile
I’m a Mad Villian During Operation Dooms Day
I bomb mics from them long nights
Kill a beat in the name of the late great Sean Price
I’ll serve a flow to wak toys
Cause I’ve been down since Kurtis Blow and The Fat Boys
I’ve been bringing that Jazzmatazz
I rock with everything from Grandmaster Caz to RassKass
This that high caliber emcee master class
Ultra magnetic critical beat down shattered glass
Breaking Atoms when we blast the system
This my rap religion just as long as I have you Listen

You had to live this to feel this
I build with writers and DJ’s my friends are real heads
Came up in one of the most impactful cultures
The fact I’m older only makes my rapping doper
Never say that it’s over my status colder
Turn rebels to pebbles hard rocks to shattered boulders
Cause I be rhymin hard sharp as a diamond shard
I bend space and literally pull time apart
My exhibition in the palace of fine arts
you either evolve or become extinct like the dinosaurs
But I digress when these young rappers sounding like second grade recess
There’s really no excuse because the legends of my time were the same age as you!!!!
To each his own I’ve reached a zone
Where I can’t even understand it like you speak in tones
Listen if they dissin I’m spittin nitroglycerin
Ichin to grab the mic and rip again
killing with discipline
Toxic ink spilling out the pen is ill’n
so my raps are medicine Penicillin
My head is chillin I’m ready willin steady building
Machete lyricism with the deadly venom
I do the heavy liftin over any rhythm
Lyrics paint a picture to give you many visions
