about

The Current Meta is: Bion Involution rising like a giant kaiju casting its shadow over the Bay Area.

lyrics

Khemmeta:

me
ampersand GT semicolon you
mass demand BNV
scripts is overdue
add the band with me
yeah for real we seldom lose
calculate the danger, exponential

and your crew?
ampersand LT semicolon me
amp ya clan well
but it’s silly to believe
you can stack syllables
as ill as those Jimi and I
providing to this beat
don’t even try it

i’m too pretty to be singular
uniquely unremarkable
until i start remarking
on the farce of all us starving for
some greater grander market
and some arbitrary target goals
charts and graphs with markings
indicating proles as charring coal

standup from the gallows
tryna inspire mass escape with
women, men and thems and any
kin to liberation
i tend to instigate whenever my
pen’s kissing these pages
METAMARI DAMACY
always spittin that BAY shit


yaddadim-sayin
BION been on the mic
so stop playin
yaddadi-mean?
put a end to all other
lesser regimes

ya undafeel?
this grindage for ya mind
is just a banquet of a meal
designer trees and tees and
we stay fly
thought i told you
that we B.A.Y.


Jimi Swaggart:

he ain't, she ain't
comparing to me and my teammate
cremate beat breaks
turn to keepsakes
when we speak heat flakes
deep fakes the only cheap skates
that could replace
what BNV makes

got our star slapped
on the BART map
it's where our hearts' trapped
pushing up-and-comers
to the far back
deeper than a sarlac
living on a podium
giving em sodium
wishing that they cold as them

Bion!
did the rhyming they all high on
views gave em vertigo
spew from Mount Zion
Jimi
S-W-A-double G, art
your moment in the sun
just Bion being stars

your moment never comes
no matter who you are
and opponents never won
'less you are our mom
we on the throne this day
you should move on
Bion in the Golden State
you just LeBron!


yaddadim-sayin
BION been on the mic
so stop playin
yaddadi-mean?
put a end to all other
lesser regimes

ya undafeel?
this grindage for ya mind
is just a banquet of a meal
designer trees and tees and
we stay fly
thought i told you
that we B.A.Y.


Khemmeta:

address me as the Royal They
and never as a normal
exploring love to foil hate
has always been a core goal
the beat’s a coronation anthem
posh and very formal
rock ya sunday best and nod ya head
but cancel all decorum

wild the fuck out when you hear this
give me fearless, give me sordid
give me dancefloors that look like
the puritans should forge more torches
make the traffic on your drive to work
divorce from up out your lane
make commuters on your train
want just a portion of your insane, it goes

we,
ampersand GT semicolon I
ascend with my community
the limit ain’t the sky
steady making moves
ain’t no do without the try
and if i’m unfamiliar to you
then just recall that

Scice
ampersand number sixty one, semicolon Khem
searching for the fire
i control within my zen
tryna write raps that are
holy as the hymns
family in my set
from now on only holding wins!


yaddadim-sayin
BION been on the mic
so stop playin
yaddadi-mean?
put a end to all other
lesser regimes

ya undafeel?
this grindage for ya mind
is just a banquet of a meal
designer trees and tees and
we stay fly
thought i told you
that we B.A.Y.


me
ampersand GT semicolon you
ampersand LT semicolon me
ampersand GT semicolon you
ampersand LT semicolon me
ampersand GT semicolon you
ampersand LT semicolon me
ampersand GT semicolon you

Khemmeta San Francisco, California

Khemmeta's music strives to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, or are shouted down when they do. His upcoming EP "When I Get To It" produced by Stephonathan (1/3 of both Pride City Purpose & Chedda Guap Boyz) is silly, nerdy, romantic, anti-nihilistic and defiant. He can't wait for you to get to it this [December]. ... more
