about

This first record, the title track/intro was made out of the idea that a good intro really sets the tone for the album. Most of my albums have no commentary from me other than rhymes. I thought about some classic openers and they all seemed to be one verse and some commentary regarding what you can expect from the album. When I heard this beat Parental sent through it gave me some Pete Rock vibes so I came at it that way in terms of the flow.

sub·lime /səˈblīm/ adjective adjective: sublime; comparative adjective: sublimer; superlative adjective: sublimest of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe. “Mozart’s sublime piano concertos”

The album title itself is a double entendre. The dictionary definition is obvious, but Parental and I are also fans of Westworld and The Sublime is the highest level of consciousness for the sentient beings. I love double edge swords.

lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah expect the unexpected.
It’s Awon and DJ Parental.
Giving you something epic.
A jazzy, journey through hip hop,
Laced with funk
The result is so sublime;

[Verse]
Awon DJ Parental on the instrumental
The combination predestined
Not coincidental
The way I rhyme is sublime
Drop it on your mental state
Can it be so simple
Disrespect I wreck your dental
Got me focused cinematic mode
The Magnum Opus
Louder than a locust
Lyrically it’s hocus pocus
Awon the globe trotter
Mr. Magic Harry Potter
Get it from my father
School of hard knocks
My Alma mater
A hip hopper
Since a toddler
Taught to spit proper
Rare kick rocker
Parental is the mix doctor
Show stopper
Chart topper
Realest emcee
The essence is me
Listen close and you’ll see
The excellence and the beauty
It’s an inspiration
Deserves the admiration
We proceed our reputations
The expectation
Elevation to a high degree
Thoughts sublimed
by the spirits of an emcee

[Outro]
Yeah we back for it all
We want everything
All the accolades
Welcome to sublime
One time for your mind
One time for your mind
