22 year old Seattle artist, Tytuus delivers a double EP, Songs About Me/Songs About You, that dives deep into the emotional core of the up and coming artist. As the newest edition to Crushkill Records, Tytuus continues to push himself creatively as this Double EP does an excellent job of showing off his range.

The first EP, Songs About Me, plays out like a “hood gothic” love letter. Tales of broken hearts and depression are very apparent throughout the mostly slower, more melancholy production provided by the likes of Sloth.Toes and Amotbeats. Songs like “Who” have Tytuus gliding over dark beats with an auto tuned assisted voice and desolate lyrics. “Roses” acts as a standout track as the 22 year old hits us with powerful self-aware lyrics over creeping boom bap drums and eerie synths. Overall, the first EP is a far departure from Tytuus’ previous works but more than welcome.

The second EP, Songs About Her is the more accessible of the two projects. With more mainstream and popular production, Tytuus still bears his soul all over the EP, but this go around features a more “modern” sound. Songs like “Underestimate” tap directly into the popular, wavy, autotuned infused sound that is being championed by a lot of up and coming mainstream artists. “Disease” gives a lot of insight into the mind of Tytuus as lyrics like “If you want be my woman, you gotta get with my disease,” exposing deep flaws in Tytuus’ psyche. While Songs About Me is more abstract and arguably more artistic, Songs About Her acts as the more accessible of the two projects.

These two EPs doing of great job of showcasing the pain that Tytuus has clearly gone through over the last couple of years, anyone going through recent mental strife might find these projects to be cathartic. However, if you are looking for something more “turn up” or “high energy” than this isn’t the project for you.

Overall, Tyuus bears his soul all over these two EPs, showing the world that he has an incredible range, sonically. While Songs About Her is the more current and digestible of the two, they are both worth a solid listen as Tytuus shows us that there is no ceiling to his artistic passions.

I could never understand what it’s like to fail Until I read it on the faces of the lovers I impaled So here’s another nail, go teeter on a scale Of the weight that’s never really worth the tears upon the trail Stalemating rituals are just a medicine that got The population thinking they can be connected when they’re not I got a lot of inhibitions, insecurities, and critics In addition to a conscience that could murder me in minutes Minutes, minutes, welcome to the gates of Hell I really hope you get a chance to finish finish Tell them all the things you felt and maybe they’ll be sympathetic Right before you hang yourself and listen, listen I’m gonna bite the hand that feeds until I masticate And make it live in me a symphony that dance in acid rain It’s like I’m alone inside a little winter Getting bitter from the frigid shivers when I think and paint the saddest faces Funeral arrangements juxtaposed with all the beautiful bouquets it’s difficult now To a more basic love and hopes when only you alone face it if I fall down

Down down on luck I hope it’s temporary some psychosis I bet that the sun exploded years ago but we don’t know it

Summers are getting hotter, the winters are getting colder The Internet’s taking over and it’s time to set sail FEMA camps, 9/11, obsession with materialism Shit in the food, television chemtrails Who isn’t aware? Cause of you I’m scared to admit We’re living in a prison so let’s set bail I met a 70-year-old woman in Ohio Who know all about it, it was reassuring, exhale Now take a deep breath, eject secrets Be the next creature to adapt – be well We fell like a phoenix when we were meant to rise Up from the ashes but didn’t listen to the seashells Be careful when you’re high as hell cause Heaven’s running low Prepare for the final blow, I hope your eyes are open Opiate of the masses leaking all over, take it or leave, treat it like you need it Doubt it or believe it to be piggybacked up on my shoulder Open up your little mouth and eat it eat it Trying to tell me the only way for me to beat it Was to be it but now I see that I’m sick of being seasick So I stick with the scenic route, I mean it now like a teenage smile

And my higher brain is looking down on me I can look at my reflection and still hide my face There’s an opening  but there’s no dopamine It’s just my higher brain looking down on me

Big Shots: The E&A Inspired Event of the Year

Once in a blue moon a truly unique and inspiring event comes around that touches all walks of life and is talked about for years to come. Those who miss it regret it, and those who make it never forget it. And I'm thinking this is going to be one of those events.

Eyedea's legacy is still burning strong and this event proves that. Reaching beyond the walls of the clubs and venues this early all-ages show is a chance to expose people to the truly wondrous and beautiful magic of hip-hop and the positive effect it can have on all of our lives.

I hope to see you there.
