SoulFood (Rascal Flip)

Soul Food Aint Fast Food.

SoulFood (a recorded I originally co-produced with my brothers Ashton Woods & HeizenBURR!) is a song that changed my life. My good friend Rascal took it upon himself to surprise me with a remix to this staple in catalog and the flip has been stuck in the vault for some time now. As we embark on Art Basel to expand this world we're building here in web 3, it only felt right to give you all something to move your bodies and feed your soul.

Please Enjoy.

SoulFood (Rascal Flip) #41

Heno.

I'm starting 2022 off on the right foot by premiering my new song "As Of Recent" here on Sound. This record (that I wrote & produced) is a feel good summation of what life has been over the last few months. Before my introduction and entry into Web3, my life was completely different. 

This music journey has put me through all the trials and tribulations I can think of. Ive been very nomadic in nature the last few years which that has put me through a lot of uncomfortable situations. From being homeless & couch surfing, working multiple jobs to save up & stay afloat, mental health battles, deaths of close family/friends, harassment by law enforcement, & thats just the tip of the iceberg. There have been many times I could have given up but the presence of a higher power & sheer resiliency have kept me on the path Im on; even in the eye of the storm. They dont often see the sacrifices needed to be made in order to succeed beyond what one can fathom but finding comfort in the uncomfortable has allowed me to really transcend in a way & embrace it all head on; in psychology, they tend to refer to this as post-traumatic growth. 

I feel like dealing with adversity not only makes us stronger when dealing with negative things but can also help us appreciate the positive ones; even increasing our overall satisfaction with life. Its allowed me to be more empathetic to others, build self efficacy, & also reassess stress as more of a challenge to problem solve rather than be discouraged. Web3 has opened up a whole new world for so many, and I'm blessed to be in a space where my craft, passion, & livelihood has been appreciated/valued in a way that has inspired me in a different way. 

As of recent, the air feels fresher. Food has been tasting better. My skin has been glowing. The hard work has been paying off. The gratitude is real as fuck. The intention is sincere. The vision is clear. And the future is very bright. 

I've been finding a deeper appreciation for life as of recent, hence the title...

NEYBORS Music Video - Heno. featuring Elujay & J.Robb

Without further ado, Heno. is back with the music video for his song "NEYBORS" with Elujay & J.Robb. With its feel-good melodies & catchy lyrics over groovy production, NEYBORS has quickly become a hit in both Web3 & the traditional music world. The video is also a testament to Heno."s unique creative vision; as well as his ability to seamlessly blend music & storytelling into a powerful experience.

The visually stunning & thought-provoking video (shot by The Reggies) follows a three-part short film that Heno. released entitled "IN THE MEANTIME" about surveillance, therapy, & the lengths one goes through to find peace. In an attempt to find relief, Heno. finds himself going to a kickback as a form of escapism. The record takes you on a thrilling journey through a seemingly normal kickback that quickly turns sinister. 

The short film + this video all serve as a prelude for Heno."s next project, "I"M TIRED OF BEING HYPERSURVEILLED".

Take 99 

When the pandemic hit in 2020 the scope of music changed.

Many artists and creatives didn"t know how much it would impact us beyond not being able to do shows but it really forced us to be inside and reflect. This alone can kill creativity because many of us thrive off of the outside experiences in life.

However, I saw it as an opportunity to push myself to hone my skills. Not just as a writer and rapper but also as a visionary. I took upon myself to start a freewrite series called "The Takes" where every track had a beat switch and every title had a number next to it that was significant in meaning (I love numbers and codes that have hidden meanings).

This mint is also special because it was the last track I recorded before I evolved into my current gold bearded state (haha).

The Gold Fang Society Comms are now active and this mint free mint will get you access to the guild and Telegram chat where I"ll be sharing new music and content early, hosting Zooms to connect with my collectors and more.

EVERGREEN

A soil without toil is where I plant my feet. 
I thrive without strife, and flourish with ease. 
Evergreen like the tree, I tower those beneath. 
From my crown all the way down, you can tell I eat my greens. 
Full serving. Heavy on the greens. Hold the envy, please. 
I bare it all as I turn my cheek,  
I am kind, not weak. 
With roots unfaltering, all I ask is that you water me.  
I recoil my coils and move smooth like a well oiled machine. 
I am ever abundant, ever evolving, evergreen.
