Church of Nobody: “Principles of Protagonist” – Willis Earl Beal & King Krule
Church of Nobody: “Principles of Protagonist” – Willis Earl Beal & King Krule
I don’t care who you are. Press play, skip to the 6:40 mark, and just listen….
Sounds like some black Nirvana type ish, with a touch of Sunday revival . …So beautiful. … So Heavy.
Willis Earl Beal finally impressed me with this! …Well actually, he’s impressing me with this whole Church of Nobody live performance series.
Beal performs in this first episode of the series (above).. …But King Krule follows up with the 2nd performance. …Which I think is super dope. King Krule is one of my favorite artists right now. Matter of fact, with the exception of Beal‘s “Nobody Knows” cover (ie the song at 6:40), …King Krule‘s performance is probably a better overall performance. (below)
Either way, both dope though.
Each episode of the eight part series is supposed to be a book in Willis Earl Beal‘s “Church of Nobody”.
Eight live episode performances. Each standing for one of the Eight “Principles of Protagonist”. (below)
“Principles of Protagonist”:
1. Sincerity: Never say or do anything contrary to your overall intentions.
2. Restraint: Be Moderate. Never fully indulge. Detach yourself somewhat
3. Composure: Never allow yourself to appear nervous. Project serenity. Always pace yourself. Don’t try to keep up.
4. Ability: Be able to learn & apply. Knowledge should equal skill.
5. Levity: When interacting with people, avoid rigidity. Let them pass through you. Be like a thin wall of water.
6. Consistency: Be a pro. Don’t be erratic. Gain trust by being reliable.
7. Neutrality: Don’t take sides. Internalize no politics. Take up no other cause except your own. Be empty.
8. Order: You don’t have to be perpetually clean, but know where your shit is when you need it.
…The combination of which are advisory ways on how to live your life.
Beal‘s episode was Sincerity. …Krule‘s episode was Restraint. Both are crazy good. …Be sure to check them out. ..Trust me. You’ll “feel” them. Enjoy…

Video: “Fall Underneath” – Snakadaktal [Sleep In the Water]
Video: “Fall Underneath” – Snakadaktal [Sleep In the Water]
Snakadaktal do always have some pretty “interesting” videos… #SideEyeWithASmile … ( …me smirking as I watch their latest video for “Fall Underneath”)
Always dope! I like them (90% of them) …But you gotta be the artsy, [Ek-lec-tik] type to appreciate a lot of it. (ie Me! #eclectic) …haha
Anyways, I love Snakadaktal‘s music. Definitely one of my favorite bands right now. …Sonically they’re excellent. Check out the latest video they did for “Fall Underneath” (posted below). …It’s super creative as always. … Something you gotta let sit for a bit before you can appreciate it. …But worth the patience for sure!
Its off their most recent album, [Sleep In The Water]. …One of the better tracks. …but nowhere close to my favorite “Hung On Tight”. Posted that below as well, plus a link to a previous, more detailed article I’d written on Snakadaktal a while back. Enjoy…

Lastly… click (here) or on the image below to go to the previous post.
Check out the bonus section on that. …That’s where I highlighted a lot of their really dope material. …So much more good stuff that’s far better than “Fall Underneath” … Which isn’t bad in the slightest. Clearly. But I’m just saying. …That’s nowhere near the bar.. Enjoy…
Videos: “Chamakay” & “You’re Not Good Enough” – Blood Orange (aka Dev Hynes) [Cupid Deluxe]
Videos: “Chamakay” & “You’re Not Good Enough” – Blood Orange (aka Dev Hynes) [Cupid Deluxe]
You have no idea how bad I am anticipating the release of this album ([Cupid Deluxe]). November 19th couldn’t get here any sooner.
The last album, [Coastal Grooves], legitimately made my summer of 2012.
…I rode up the entire west coast listening to this. Bought the album on a whim. Pure curiosity….
Stumbled across one of the videos via Fader online, but couldn’t find much else. The song’s album wasn’t in stores anywhere in the US, and I couldn’t find any streams online. …So I just went ahead and imported it. I knew I’d be going on a road trip soon, so new music would be perfect. …Sidenote: Road trips are the best times to listen to new music. I always buy a bunch of new albums for the road. #hippieLife
Anyways, doing that was the best move ever. [Coastal Grooves] was a perfect album to groove up the coast with. I loved the style. Loved the musical nuances. (Blood Orange is a musical mastermind! Easily comparable to that of Kanye West.) …. And I loved how Blood Orange reminded me of Prince. …Real similar vocal deliveries. Delicate nostalgia…
In conclusion. [Coastal Grooves] was a surprisingly super dope album that in many ways blew me away and made Blood Orange aka Dev Hynes, one of my favorites artists to watch. (He also produced did Solange’s most recent EP fyi).
With that being said, the new album [Cupid Deluxe] drops Nov. 19th. Two singles have been released so far. “Chamakay” being the first and probably my favorite. “You’re Not Good Enough” being the latest of the two.
Both have a slightly different vibe then most of the songs on [Coastal Grooves], but never the less, good songs, and I expect nothing but greatness from this album. Posted the videos for the two singles as teasers until the album drops. And if you’re interested in getting the album on vinyl, go ahead and get your copy/pre-order from our store (here). The cover art is too dope not to have! smh. Anyways, Enjoy…

Extra Bonus: Here’s one of Dev’s earlier videos. Not on either album. …Actually not even sure if its on any album. (shrugs shoulders). …[Coastal Grooves] is still Dev’s best work though.
Stream: “Scared” – NONONO
Stream: “Scared” – NONONO
Ahhh… I’m never gonna get any sleep.
Doing my damnest to catch yall up on some good music. …I’m behind, trying to play catch up. …But there’s so much good!! smh
Just listen to this dope new track by NONONO. “I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared…” …so #dope
You won’t expect the song to be as good as it is from the way it starts off. But ….Ahh!… no way “Scared” doesn’t get into you eventually! …It’s a cold jam. Almost alternative blues-like. #different. Enjoy…

Master P Feat. Howie T & A. D. – Lonely Road (AUDIO/LYRICS)
Master P stated, “It’s a lonely road to success, but I’m all too familiar with that road. The music industry has evolved, independent artists have more opportunities to win in this industry if they’re willing to work hard. I’ve dedicated my time, re-introduced myself and increased my fan base with this new generation of music buyers. The key is creating hit records like the Lonely Road, my first single off the Limited Edition The Gift Album which hits stores December 6th. I get better with time… there’s No Limit to what you can do if you’re not afraid to sacrifice, put in the work and never give up. This new album isn’t about me, I’m just using my gift of music to inspire my people.”
Produced By Slikk Music.
LYRICS:
Chorus
Sometime I feel alone out here on this road, then I remember where I’ve been
But when it gets cold out there it won’t be long
I keep it pushing and never look back again
I do everything monumentalVerse 1
Even in bad times we never gave up
When we was outnumbered ain’t none of it phased us
In the struggle we got strong, you real and you last long
When they said it was impossible, I had to prove them haters wrong
I never looked back, kept my eyes on my opponent
I gave it my all, then I did what I wanted
Hard work it pays off even when faced off or battling the enemy
See life as to play ball, I tied up my shoes and I got ready for war
I came from nothing to something, they couldn’t take me apart
They say whatever don’t kill you make you stronger and that’s a fact
And through the pain real champs never look backPre-chorus
You get one shot to make it
It’s right there for the taking
All real life no faking and never look backChorus
Sometime I feel alone out here on this road, then I remember where I’ve been
But when it gets cold out there it won’t be long
I keep it pushing and never look back again
I do everything monumentalVerse 2
It’s a lonely road to success especially when they hate you
Ain’t nobody make you so never let’em break you
It’s no limit to my dreams and all the hard work I put in
And losing ain’t an option to all the struggling that I’ve been in
I strived when I couldn’t strive, kept running when I got tired
These scars and these wounds ain’t make me quit it made me realize
It’s one thing that I want and one thing that I can get
If I keep going I’m gone make it ain’t no option in me quittin’
Because winners never quit, quitters never win
If I fall I get back up and do it all again
Use my gift and my talent I gotta keep goin’
If you believe and you dream big its nothing when you want itPre-chorus
You get one shot to make it
It’s right there for the taking
All real life no faking and never look backChorus
Sometime I feel alone out here on this road, then I remember where I’ve been
But when it gets cold out there it won’t be long
I keep it pushing and never look back again
I do everything monumental
