trynedge No other hip hop has caught my attention - I'm a classic rock lover. But, I also have a deep passion for science and learning, and I have found a kindred spirit in this amazing rapper. Favorite track: The 6th Extinction.

Matt Burkhart I ran across one of these tracks on Youtube and was genuinely moved. The dark music fits the message, the lyrics are articulate and and poetic. I'm admittedly no expert of this genre of music but I've enjoyed every minute of this album. Favorite track: On My Own.

Noah Wiles Another great album! Still looking forward to the day we can get all the great atheist music artists together for a big show. Thanks for all you do Tombstone!

1st verse All your apocalyptic dreams you finally gone and done it it was the idea of living in peace you couldn’t stomach you could’ve been amongst the stars but you just didn’t want it rather drop yourself in the abyss to see how far you plummet it’s kind of funny how this whole planet is silent now without a sound just like the time when all you apes were not around you even managed to damage the trees and animals polluted air and water but all of it’s understandable it was obvious you’d end this way to everyone except for you the signs were there but living in denial is just something you do i walk among the ruins and what’s left is a silent testament to ignorance violent tendencies and stupid rhetoric no mythological saviors appeared to pull you from the brink” the end of you...came as a result of how the fuck you think and what you valued was everything else except the truth cause in the end you superstitious ape the devil was you Congratulations...welcome to The 6th Extinction 2nd verse None of your superheroes came to save your wicked selves 8 billion little demons sure did raise a lot of hell their numbers swelled //their tech increased// but none of that could stop the beast they kept at it consuming all their energy and never ceased or stopped the feast// in fact it made them hungrier they turned upon each other like a bloodlusted warmonger a swarm of locust all holding their smartphones...and texting LOL busy insulting one another right until they all fell piles of corpses stacking even higher as the years went on co2 filling the air making the temperature get warm and they couldn’t even work together long enough to stop the tide money more important than survival till they fucking died I always knew you’d never make it to type one Your obstacles too high for you to get over type dumb you stupid humans flirted with pandemics man forget it your extinction basically was nothing but academic

1st verse you’re good at putting all these people on a pedestal...except for you it’s nothing new.. i guess you think the bottom has a better view they see you all as miniscule...savage masses….pitiful inconsequential only useful when it’s time to make a move obvious but still you fooled...slave to every word they say election time you gather in your masses just to yell hurrah conditions seem to stay the same regardless of their promises the problem is you seemed conditioned loving all the drama its painfully apparent that you roll on with the current even if the water’s filthy you drink it with no determent it’s that cult of personality all they gotta do is spew everything they think you wanna hear because you’re gullible but I refuse to stand with you... cause honestly I’ve had enough your brains are little god machines making up this stupid stuff and you can’t even see your selves much too caught up in your nature waiting for a great emancipator…..but fuck that Chorus: No more messiahs….no more liars no more kingdoms and no more sires no more fuckers faking like they so pious and no more excuses for your brain to retire 2nd verse I see you falling for that charismatic nonsense so caught up in delivery that you don’t hear the content he could’ve made a bomb threat….he could have said most anything but you ain’t hearing nothing cause his tone just makes your head swing it’s actions over rhetoric but dummies will not get it yet they do what you allow and look at all the things that ya'll will let and even if they saying all of those things and you agree with him don’t ever let your guard down long enough where you believe in him see the main issue with our species is that we quick to fall down on our knees we just suspend our disbelief for these celebrities as long as they appealing to our basest emotions we’ll walk right in those ovens with our eyes wide open and it’s been this way since way back in the tribal shit in fact we still in tribes that’s all a country or a nation is and everything around you is still holding to that paradigm they’ll take advantage of it and it fools your asses every time I don’t want Chorus: No more messiahs….no more liars no more kingdoms and no more sires no more fuckers faking like they so pious and no more excuses for your brain to retire Napalm: HERE YE!! HERE YE!! COME ONE COME ALL/HERE'S ANOTHER ELECTED OFFICIAL TERM TO RISE & FALL /LIES WAS TOLD, PROMISES MADE, EVENTUALLY BROKE/NONE OF THAT SHIT HAD MATTERED ONCE THEY GOT YOUR VOTE /SAME, ISSUES CONTINUE, THEY AIN'T DOING SHIT ABOUT IT/BY THE TIME YOU REALIZE IT, YOUR MONEY ALL IN THEIR POCKETS /SAYING, "WE THE PEOPLE.....", CLAIMIN' WE ALL EQUAL/THEY STEADILY GETTING RICH, WHILE WE LIVING WEEK TO WEEK SO /SPARE ME THE SONG & DANCE ABOUT HOW THINGS WILL CHANGE/WHEN THE SAME ONES POLICING US, WANNA SPLATTER OUR BRAINS /I'M SO SICK OF THE GAMES & SO SICK OF THE LIES/THE PHRASE MEANINGLESS WHEN THEY SAYING "VOTE OR DIE" /I VOTE FOR Y'ALL TO DIE CUZ I REALLY DESPISE/Y'ALL TAXIN' US, BUT NOTHING'S BEING DONE WITH THE TITHES /TIRED OF FAKE SPEECHES ABOUT OUR NEEDS & WANTS/ CUT IT OUT, IT'S ONLY ONE THING THAT I NEED OR WANT AND THAT'S.....

Legacy 02:44
1st verse I noticed a lot of you are only rapping for the sake of rapping but I take my time to craft my rhymes so they can make things happen culture shifter// supposed to lift ya// straight out your conditions that’s depending if you really open up your mind to listen a higher calling than talking about how much i'm balling and trying to prove that I’m the best of all has got me yawning it sound so small when these larger issues are haunting and artists used to tackle those but now all i can see is flaunting rappers apathetic..that’s probably why they rap pathetic but it’s just a waste of time to argue some will never get it for them it’s all about the shine when they spit a rhyme and never give a thought about the healing of these broken minds I guess it’s just a sign of the times that we living in when decadence becomes a culture that’s all that they valuing but they can do them..it’s really just my observation I carve my own path to navigate through all the devastation chorus: sometimes I wonder about my legacy and if I was to die today would anyone remember me would they play my songs would they hum the melody would they share my thoughts across the world for everyone to see 2nd verse this could be my final album.. anytime my death could come from out of nowhere... unexpected... eternal rested... dead and done what impression have I left them….did I inspire anyone could I provoke someone to think beyond where they had started from did I promote intolerance….Or hatred with a violent wit Will someone credit me for their degree they earned with scholarships Will anyone acknowledge it... or feel the need to play my songs Dissecting every single bar to prove that what I said was wrong will I be seen as monstrous with an image that’s preposterous and music only fit to be the sound of some obnoxious twit would enemies remember me as the father of sin will fans in their nostalgia see me better than i’ve been or will they claim malevolence then seek to have my songs erased or will someone pick up the torch from me to carry in my place don’t want my kids to face my shadow that they can’t escape just like an anchor wrapped around their waist that drowns them from the weight

Anti-Hero 03:39
1st verse Don't see me as that cookie cutter do-gooder you’re used to I’m rough around the edges break the rules only to speak truth and it’s never in the format that’s designed to make you comfortable for those that's criticizing my methods I've had enough of you I’m rocking no capes, no catch phrases or smiley faces no tolerance for your ignorant statements and zero patience for the bullshit that ya’ll stay with...so I attack it frequently with no cut cards cause you frauds be lacking decency in fact don’t even speak to me..i’m busy on my mission to make things the way they need to be….. a vigilante secretly… moving unseen and uninhibited unrestrained so I’m not limited in the ways that justice is distributed I watched the way you picketed...and stood outside marching with your little signs wasting time but nothing changed or ended it desperate times call for desperate measures if you not about it They gonna shrug their shoulders no matter how loud you go and shout it Chorus: They can make a pretty speech (and it’d be all lies) But when I speak the truth (these people want me tongue tied) Sometimes the rules are weak (because they help the wrong side) So fuck the good guys...i’d rather be an anti-hero 2nd verse: see this is how the problem starts……...the evil villains all at large but get away with everything because the villains are in charge and you get mad at me cause my language you feel is sub par but somehow can’t get angry at people that keep you down huh? it’s crazy cause the lazy ones will use this language everyday but do it to a beat and watch them curse you for the things you say censor all of your thoughts even if they feel the same way or book you for a show but then get scared and say you can't play my music is my anger manifested flowing constantly and just because you’re NOT enraged it don’t mean something's wrong with me it means that something’s wrong with you..or maybe everything is cool and you don’t mind the things that’s going on cause you’re a fucking fool I think you’re too accepting of the fuckery... shenanigans so when I overturn the applecart you start the panicking imagine if..men not scared of conflict starting vanishing you wouldn’t fight to save your life you'd stand there like a manikin Chorus: They can make a pretty speech (and it’d be all lies) But when I speak the truth (these people want me tongue tied) Sometimes the rules are weak (because they help the wrong side) So fuck the good guys...i’d rather be an anti-hero 3rd verse: now there's a time for conversation but there's a time for getting gritty And shooting arrows to their face yelling "you have failed this city" You can dance around these issues diplomatic you want to but the villains not respecting that shit and they will stunt on you spit a crazy monologue about how they’re above the law because the world just needs to die and they’re the ones to do it all while everything around you falls and you’re succumbing to your fear the last thing that you hear is his laughter that’s ringing in your ears fuck that I’m coming through blazing two gun gripping Clip em put the bad guy in the ground all while he was ego tripping then go out the fire escape and dash down the alleyway while dodging the police helicopters that want to make me pay ignoring all discussions bout tactics and repercussions fuck em this the only justice I know because the system bluffing and if you really knew what I know...you’d do the same thing to every preaching, fake politician that tried to play king Chorus: They can make a pretty speech (and it’d be all lies) But when I speak the truth (these people want me tongue tied) Sometimes the rules are weak (because they help the wrong side) So fuck the good guys...i’d rather be an anti-hero

On My Own 02:14
1st verse i had to learn the hard way that people are not genuine an expert at this lone wolf status now I’m a veteran this won’t be some stupid rant bout who I think I’m better then just need to get something out my system that’s an impediment loyalty’s a rare commodity that’s short in stock you see and modesty’s become non existent right there with honesty a part of me has been through so much bullshit in my life that my mind has been conditioned to smell when something not right now I’m quicker to identify... those that ain’t real do or die when I sense it I put some distance between the crew and I cause i don’t have no time for that shit..or inconsistent stints i’m 46….no way I’m playing even a little bit understand that everyone don’t do this for the same reason rolling solo means that i ain’t marching with the same legion that’s why i formed the Reaper Legion now I’m doing fine cause how can I control a situation if it ain’t mine chorus: no offense this is what I represent if you can’t show respect for that I guess I’ll just go on my own I’ve never been the one to stop what I’m doing if it’s not what I’m pursuing guess I’ll just go on my own if you ain’t got your own you’re a slave my commitment never change so I guess I’ll just go on my own I’ll never let you question my worth I’ll just go do what I was doing at first and that was on my own 2nd verse: maybe my curse is that….i always think the worse in fact I’m quick to pull the plug on a situation no looking back but there’s a price to pay if you linger on with dysfunction you’d be better off just leaving conditions that’s not wanted you can still be cool with people and things..no need to beef with them if they ain’t chasing that brass ring...why do you need them than Imma go getter….never been only a rhyme spitter some are bitter cause i don’t associate with blind quitters if it fit ya maybe you should do some self reflection stop that half ass stepping on those things you say you’re repping put some effort in it... see what it does just be prepared cause the ones that’s scared to do it never give you the love yo you can fly a lot higher without anchors on your ankles they will suck up everything you ever gave and never thank you Then look at you like you spiteful now you wrong and they pissed But I'm a boss and I'm in charge you don't like then split Chorus: no offense this is what I represent if you can’t show respect for that I guess I’ll just go on my own I’ve never been the one to stop what I’m doing if it’s not what I’m pursuing guess I’ll just go on my own if you ain’t got your own you’re a slave my commitment never change so I guess I’ll just go on my own I’ll never let you question my worth I’ll just go do what I was doing at first and that was on my own

1st verse: I learned a lot of lessons in this long life like there’s nobody that’s keeping track when you do right all they seem to remember is when they think you’re wrong no matter the instrument playing... it’s the same song it doesn’t matter who you with you really all alone just because you lay your head there don’t make that place your home reality brutal….it steps in and takes its toll believe what you’re shown and never what the fuck you’re told everything you don’t do...shining like a beacon any words you’re speaking get’s twisted until you’re weakened if you gon be the bad guy..regardless of the outcome you might as well embrace it it’s something you’ll never outrun labeled as a villain? Stop tripping it’s just a title their opinions are not vital...they use it to be spiteful believe me I done seen me an eyeful the world will aim at you like the scope on a rifle and say that you’re trifle Chorus there’s such a thing as necessary evil Cause they will violate you expect you to be peaceful sometimes you gotta do what you want so fuck people if anybody crosses that line then get lethal 2nd verse: when there’s a narrative that’s rolling around that says you ain’t shit there’s some real life repercussions you gon deal with and you gonna feel this every time you walk inside a store and they follow you thinking you about to steal shit or when you riding down the road then stopped by another suspicious officer that that thinks the car was stole they’ll shoot your baby boy dead in the street and tell the world “he wasn’t an angel….more like a beast you should have heard the way he talked back….disturbing the peace and when I asked him for his id...I think that he reached” watch them say that he was justified…..and ya’ll will agree that’s why i know it’d be the same if that shit happened to me they gonna pull my album covers...then point and say see looks mean he’s exactly what we said he would be so when they say that I’m the bad guy I laugh and i shrug no matter how legal I’m living they gonna say I’m a thug fuck em Chorus: there’s such a thing as necessary evil Cause they will violate you expect you to be peaceful sometimes you gotta do what you want so fuck people if anybody crosses that line then get lethal

Tombstone: for thousands of years we’ve suffered no peers equals or rivals... none of them can survive around here we’ve bathed in the blood of enemies that threatened with malice impaled the heads of kings on spikes... outside of their palace 3 entire civilizations we made them extinct for trying to circumvent the balance they were gone in a blink a bonafide galaxy buster... the Reaper Armada so any nation breaking the rules we’re coming to stomp ya we are legion...manifestations of purest entropy Entropic Empire annihilating infinity we are not death and though those rumors persist we are the things that make it possible for death to exist these lower species are specks that we’re not bound to respect we’d hardly notice them... even with our boots on their necks warrior class...we are the standard... the epitome the masters of the massacre loyal to Lord Entropy Chorus two empires at polar opposite sides inevitability that a conflict arise deadliest armada determines who will survives when worlds collide when worlds collide Greydon Square: Type 2.7 and ascending my race crosses light years like they’re inches it’s quite weird with our gear we put the fear in the abstracts Superior tech. Only adhere to math facts Past that? We’re masters of quadrivium exponential growth in the interim, few can match that ...imperium for nearly a millennium peaceful race, but won't give in to anyone ...the upper echelon who bonds with the Lexicon experts in quintessence, assumptions of us are extra wrong ..the ultimate expression of intelligence if we can’t learn from it, it’s irrelevant people of the measurement mentor of the species that are lesser than in a thinking war, we expect to win we personify extropy Grey of Extropia will modify destiny without the fly weaponry

Tombstone: where were you when I was facing frustration back and forth across the floor pacing dream chasing told that I was time wasting fucked up with my mind encased in dark thoughts while others laughed and tossed darts leaking blood surrounded by these fucking sharks I do not recall a time you ever tried to lend a hand or even sat to help me out and give your thoughts towards a plan suddenly when things begin to take flight...I see a bit of daylight you acting like you always had my back right fuck outta here with all that johnny coming lately shit no tolerance for it fall back or quickly in your face I’ll spit who the fuck is this... rolling on me with some stupid owe me list cancel Christmas// shut the door///you don’t exist I am unapproachable…. except for those I know is true and rallied right behind me every time I had a show to do or dropped some knowledge that inspired me to grow some more and I don’t have to say their names cause all of them will know the score Napalm Hyru: Y'ALL KNOW THE ROUTINE, TOP OF THE MORNING FUCKERS/I GOT ENOUGH DEAD WEIGHT & I DON'T NEED ANOTHER'S/PEOPLE GET IN THEIR FEELINGS & START TALKIN' RECKLESS/GOIN' AT YOUR NECK LIKE THEY FUCKIN' TRYNA STEAL YOUR NECKLACE/TO TELL THE TRUTH, AYO I SAW YA IN DIFFERENT LIGHT/LIKE EXAMININ' HOTEL ROOMS THAT'S UNDER A BLACK LIGHT/I'MA BE THE BIGGER PERSON & NOT PLAY THE "BLAME GAME"/CUZ YOU & I BOTH KNOW, I COULD'VE DONE THE SAME THING/I'MA MAINTAIN, KEEP IT MOVIN' EXPEDITIOUSLY/NO MORE ATTENTION I WILL PAY YOU, SO IT'S NO NEED TO REQUEST A FEE/AND BASICALLY, IF YOU LIVE GLASS HOUSES, THEN OWN WINDEX/MAKE SURE YOUR SHIT IS CLEAN, BEFORE YA FUCKERZ TRY TO JUDGE THE NEXT/BUT YEAH YOU TRIED IT THO, LEFT ME WITH A COUPLE SCARZ/ONCE TIME HEALED THOSE WOUNDS I HAD TO CONSTRUCT THESE BARZ/ALL IS FORGIVEN, BUT NOT FORGETTIN' THOSE PETTY DEALINGS/NOT BAD FOR MAN WHO ISN'T IN TOUCH WITH HIS FEELINGS. Adekwit Drinking this liquor while I'm on my medication To release the stress, aggression and all the aggrevation To Hulk smash their opinions about how I won't make it They can right click scroll down and fucking save it Cause when I was on my dick Nobody gave a shit Before I got back into Hip Hop I was contemplating licks Driving my civic in the streets Live, paper chasing Now I'm dedicated to rhyming niggas saying Im changing? Damn man, can't seem to satisfy anybody Should I make my art a business or treat it as a hobby They don't know about the nights I was sleeping next to my shotty Funny how I trusted that more than I did anybody Mad, I don't shout you out Or get up on your features? To be honest with you bruh My nigga I don't need ya I never asked for a favor For you to have my back bitch So keep it moving I don't owe your ass JACK SHIT!

about

First I’d like to give a very special thank you to Dakota Daffron. A great fan that’s gone but certainly never forgotten.

2015 has been a really enlightening and exciting year. The rise of the Reaper Legion (formerly known as Reaper Nation). The formation of Majestic Comics with Greydon Square and Joseph Arnold. And the growth of what I consider to be one of the most unique fan bases in music. The vast majority of the fans I have met, laughed with, talked to, debated comic books with, shared experiences and learned from are the type of people that I would hang out with anytime. It’s been your support that has made everything I have been able to do possible. I just know there is so much more on the horizon for this community of Reapers, Rationalists, Misfits, Geeks, and Bad Asses.

My promise to each and everyone of you is to never take your support, kind words, feedback, and comradery for granted. I plan for next year to be even bigger than this one and am looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you. So while this album is entitled “The 6th Extinction”, take it from me. This is not the end. This is still only the beginning.

Special Thanks: Shirley Taylor, Wayne Williams, Ayieta Crawford, Shevon Taylor, Melik Deal, Barbara Emerson, Aunt Ann (R.I.P.), Napalm Hyru, Clifton Scott, Antonio Mann, Greydon Square, Marisa Holladay, Adekwit, Lady Assassin, Joseph Arnold, Gabriel Sandoval, Jordan Seven Mears, Cindi Raffield, Cyhrus Horbachewsky, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Stan Lee and all of the members of the Reaper Legion and the GUniverse.
