SMELLINGTON PIFF lyrics copied via Genius.com Ya ya ya I've been raised in the muck since I was a ickle pup In double decker buses caravans and trucks With dreadlocked hippies and pissed off punks Located where it stinks of the pungent skunk I never went school I coched and smoked bongs Hot box my home like I set off a smoke bomb I'm never living in them council flats I'm never giving them no council tax All I need is weed wood food and gas A roof above my head and a bed to crash If you lock me out bolt croppers chop the locks off Chat shit my big brothers will knock your block off The cheapskates and their second hand knockoffs Arrive in a convoy two miles long you can't stop us Call the coppers I know my rights Got to take us to court so we're here for the night We're coming from a place called site We live in wagons trucks buses and caravans I'm living in a place called site We drive in clapped out bangers and camper vans Chased by the pigs and hated by the masses This is how we live robbing skips and dodging taxes Classed beneath the lowest classes No cash flow growing outdoor plants and pressing hashes Conflicting with gobby rednecks and snobby fascists To ever get us off your premises you better bring a bulldozer Never stopping the coppers want us to pull over In the van with the lads nabbing a new roamer supreme Covered in chrome and cream she tows like a dream Passing though your town like a stream If homes where the heart is I live on my sleeve I represent where I'm from and speak for what I believe For starters I'll have your guts for garters If you ever mess with my extended family But hate breeds hate and I'm just trying to love Rest in peace to my friends in the heavens above We're coming from a place called site We live in wagons trucks buses and caravans I'm living in a place called site We drive in clapped out bangers and camper vans I was raised on site where the piss heads fight The dogs bark and bite it gets dark at night So spark a light

Information on "The Great Dunzo (EP)" –titled by br( )ke

Hip Hop producer br( )ke and I formed a fast friendship over SoundCloud messages and soon I was sending him my acapella stems for a nearly 11 minute song I'd recorded over a beat he'd provided, aptly called "dunzo ammo", which I didn't initially like! With those lengthy vocal stem files, br( )ke took several months splitting, splicing, arranging, matching, blending my raps into completely new instrumentals, grooves, and textured soundscapes. He surprised me when I heard the songs back, completed, in fundamentally new form and structure. Yet, to my delight, the integrity of my vocal takes weren't lacking in the new mixes, rather, were enhanced by br( )ke's keen attention to sonic detail!

The 'ammo' idea, presented by br( )ke's original beat title, provoked me to Go Real Hard for this feature, like "hit[ting] the shooting range" to "empty out a full clip". Digging up skeletons, I'd combined 7 separate lyric-files from my digital notebook stockpile, written casually between 2013 and 2017.

Quirky, dumb lines like "You might just pass the test, brother Slugsworth's watching/ Wonkavision never seen a slug worth watching," bring me way back to a time when I would drive the college mail-truck on the daily route, pass under Milwaukee's Marquette Interchange and park by the train tracks to write down the fun/far-out bars I'd channeled-in while "working". 2013, this was the sacred, manic time between letting go my father and getting marked with a fictitious bipolar disorder diagnosis.

The more recent ammo-lyric-files had been written, perhaps after a long work-day at the metal stamping co., in the special hours of afternoon, reading, resting, thinking, praying... or maybe late night on the Riverwest porch, in a thick, aggressive haze of frustration with Ego shadows bouncing playfully 'round my conspiracy-ridden, blame-hungry, stoned+stabilized "imagination".

Having br( )ke approach the tall labor of mixing/mastering this project to such crystalized form for the final "The Great DUNZO (EP)" was a beautifully healing experience from my angle. Why "healing"? Much of the ammo-lyric-files I'd used for my lyrics were so very charged with near-malicious and sarcastic vibratory emotion. Rapping ammo-lyric-files 1-7 all together, reading them off computer paper for ~10 min, was a seriously intense process, considering the frequent wickedness contained in purposely provocative phrases. Amazingly, the darkness was quelled, not only by my seasoned, 2018-view, but by br( )ke's as well!

With lines like: "I tried to ring the alarm/ I mean no harm" written 'round late 2016, I'll still ask myself: ring What alarm, for What reason? It usually feels like no alarm will ever wake the sleeping. And besides, I only "tried" to ring it, but really then, didn't ring it! Perhaps I need the sleeping to stay sleeping... bless them! Yes, "cryptic" might be a way to describe Dunzo's poetic, often. And there are people who hate "cryptic" and people who tolerate "cryptic". So what if it's cryptic + wicked, I'm beginning to think that's okay. br( )ke helped make it okay... and I'll be grateful to him and this invaluable work, continually.

–Nicholas
