about

A banging boombap beat by Slap Serif that'll remind you of the good ole days when Hip Hop felt good and will make you bob your head to the contagious rhythm. Dave's raspy tone & rustic flow complete the connection for another Dope Beat + Fly Rhyme joint.

lyrics

Three two one lift off
It's Dave and the Serif laying land mines dropping bombs underground
Straight up Hip Hop
And it just don't stop shaking grapevines with the talk of the town
We might get lost
Always missing in action and never nowhere to be found
Burning pit boss
Tradition on the menu cooking up that new classic sound

Straight boom bap
Hot off the press never less than fresh when I rock with the shock and awe
Got the Serif on the beat slapping samples out they seat
Spinning heatwaves with the block chopping raw
Warm like analog with deep sound prints
So lost in the groove I can make the needle skip
Dripping so smooth make them slip to the slap
Break a mood like interludes and pull it back on track
Don't do that
Shut ya trap and relax for while when Ole Mans on the speaker
The class from way back buried deep in the haystack
My mic stay hot bounce like playback meters
Mad vet in the lab my theory making proof
Cool cannon busting loose coming back around the loop
Organic magic booming slamming lines with gridlock
It's Slap Serif and Dave Melv holding it down for Hip Hop

We might get lost
Always missing in action and never nowhere to be found
Straight up Hip Hop
And it just don't stop shaking grapevines with the talk of the town
Burning pit boss
Tradition on the menu cooking up that new classic sound
Three two one lift off
It's Dave and the Serif laying land mines dropping bombs underground

Heaven on the sheets when I make them sang hymn
Double eagle fly rough and gritty like sand dunes
Hitting high and landing soft like flop shots
From the bottom of the barrel turn around like drop tops
Instead of spinning Dayton's I'd rather press vinyl
Flipping hail Mary bomb grooves on the spiral
Fly rhymes to settle scores kicking on the landing
Intense composition fully orchestrated passion
Under dog long shot with the direct hit
Hole in one home run a dilated pitch
Diligent kick rarely taking days off
Steady stacking tracks just in case my brain stop
Keep it bass heavy and maraud for ears
Make ya head bob when I power engineer
Loud and clear husky gruff and get raw
They can't handle the launch Slap and Day fenster lift off

We might get lost
Always missing in action and never nowhere to be found
Straight up Hip Hop
And it just don't stop shaking grapevines with the talk of the town
Burning pit boss
Tradition on the menu cooking up that new classic sound
Three two one lift off
It's Dave and the Serif laying land mines dropping bombs underground
