LUCKI shares "Heavy On My Heart" video from new 'GEMINI!' LP

After receiving heavyweight co-signs from both Drake and Lil Baby, Chicago underground legend LUCKI has just shared the video for "Heavy On My Heart" from his new album GEMINI!— out now. The project boasts features from A-listers Future, Lil Yachty, Veeze, Rylo Rodriguez, and 42 Dugg, as well as production from sonic tastemakers Tay Keith, Wheezy, Southside, and Bobby Raps. GEMINI! arrives on the heels of the announcement that LUCKI's first US headlining tour, The Gemini Tour, will kick off on July 18th in Raleigh, NC. Produced by Live Nation, the 27-date tour will make stops in Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Boston, Brooklyn, and more before wrapping up on September 7th in Atlanta, GA. The recently-released 2-pack of singles titled 2 Faced, Pt. 2 (the Coupe-produced "Heavy On My Heart" and the Brent Rambo-produced "Courtesy Of") offered the first glimpse into LUCKI's follow-up to 2023's s*x m*ney dr*gs, with the former serving as an upbeat outing buoyed by LUCKI's candid bars over a soulful instrumental while the latter is a hard-hitting victory lap draped in his distinct raspy flow. A longtime staple of Chicago’s underground scene, LUCKI’s hazy cloud rap confessionals saw the then-teenager grow a cult following in the Windy City and beyond before garnering mainstream recognition with his 2022 debut album FLAWLESS LIKE ME (which had appearances from Future and Babyface Ray) and hit track “New Drank”(200M+ Streams). GEMINI! marks LUCKI’s first full-length outing since the aforementioned s*x m*ney dr*gs and arrives on the heels of a high-profile appearance on “Broke phone” (7M+ Streams) from Veeze's 2023 album Ganger as well as a strong run of 2024 singles, including “PAIDNFULL”, “COLORFUL DRUGS”, and most recently “All Love”, where he linked with Lyrical Lemonade for a Cole Bennett-directed music video, as well as a guest outing on Southside’s latest track “Elegant”.

LUCKI’s fourth full-length album GEMINI! marks the entry point into what will be a busy summer for the Chicago artist. After performing at last weekend’s Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash, he's currently slated to make an appearance at Rolling Loud before embarking on his nationwide headlining Gemini Tour — with a fall European tour also on the horizon. An artist as multifaceted as his star sign, LUCKI has grown from an underground Chicago mainstay into a critically-acclaimed international icon, using hazy cloud rap confessionals to pave the way for the sound of modern Hip-Hop. With his GEMINI! era officially in motion, LUCKI is continuing to assert his legacy while proving just how far his movement has carried over the past decade.

Lyrics:

I try to fly away but it's impossible

And every breath I take gives birth to deeper sighs

And for a moment I am weak

So it's hard for me to speak

Even though we're underneath the same blue sky

If I could paint a picture of this melody

It would be a violin without its strings

And the canvas in my mind

Sings the songs I left behind

Like pretty flowers and a sunset

It's heavy on my heart

I can't make it alone

Heavy on my heart

I can't find my way home

Heavy on my heart

So come and free me

It's so heavy on my heart

I've had my share of pleasure

And I've tasted pain

I never thought that I would touch an angel's wings

There's a journey in my eyes

It's getting hard for me to hide

Like the ocean at the sunrise

It's heavy on my heart

I can't make it alone

Heavy on my heart

I can't find my way home

Heavy on my heart

So come and free me

It's so heavy on my heart

Whooo...

Love, can you find me in the darkness, and love,

Don't let me down

There's a journey in my eyes

It's getting hard for my to hide

And I never thought I'd touch an angel's wings

Songwriter:

It's heavy on my heart

I can't make it alone

Heavy on my heart

I can't find my way home

Heavy on my heart

So come and free me

It's so heavy on my heart

Anastacia - Heavy On My Heart (lyrics) + Malay translate❤️‍🩹

Lit. "Berat Di Hatiku"

Intro

Verse 1:

I tried to fly away but it's impossible

Aku coba untuk terbang namun ia mustahil

And every breath I take

Dan setiap nafas yang ku hela

Gives birth into deeper sighs

Menjadi keluhan yang mendalam

And for a moment I am weak

Dan saat ku merasa tak berdaya

So it's hard for me to speak

Jadi ia sukar bagiku untuk berbicara

Even though we're underneath the same blue sky

Walau kita berada di bawah langit biru yang sama

If I could paint a picture of this melody

Andai ku bisa melukis melodi ini

It would be a violin without its strings

Ianya sebuah biola tanpa talinya

And the canvas in my mind

Dan sebuah kanvas di fikiranku

Sings the songs I left behind

Akan menyanyikan laguku yang kutinggalkan

Like pretty flowers, and the sunset

Seperti bunga yang indah, dan matahari terbenam

Chorus:

It's heavy on my heart...

Ia sungguh berat di hatiku...

I can't make it alone

Ku tak bisa sendirian

Heavy on my heart...

Berat di hatiku...

I can't find my way home...

Ku tak bisa pulang...

Heavy on my heart...

Berat di hatiku...

So come and free me

Jadi marilah dan bebaskan aku

It's so heavy on my heart...

Sungguh berat di hatiku...

Verse 2:

I've had my share my pleasure

Aku pernah kongsikan nikmatku

And I've tasted pain

Dan ku pernah merasai kesakitan

I never thought that I would touch an angel's wings

Ku tak pernah fikir untuk menyentuh sayap bidadari

There's a journey in my eyes

Ada perjalanan di mataku

It's getting harder for me to hide

Menjadi lebih sukar bagiku untuk bersembunyi

Like the ocean, at the sunrise...

Seperti lautan, di matahari terbit...

Chorus:

It's heavy on my heart

Ia sungguh berat di hatiku

I can't make it alone

Ku tak bisa sendirian

Heavy on my heart...

Berat di hatiku...

I can't find my way home...

Ku tak bisa pulang...

Heavy on my heart...

Berat di hatiku...

So come and free me

Jadi marilah dan bebaskan aku

It's so heavy on my heart...

Sungguh berat di hatiku...

Bridge:

Love...

Kasih...

Can you find me in the darkness?

Bisakah kau mencariku di kegelapan?

And love...

Dan kasih...

Don't let me down

Jangan hampakan aku

(Instrumental)

There's a journey in my eyes

Ada perjalanan di mataku

It's getting hard for me to hide

Menjadi sukar bagiku untuk bersembunyi

And I never thought I'd touch an angel's wings, ooh...

Dan ku tak pernah terfikir untuk menyentuh sayap bidadari, ooh...

Chorus:

(Heavy on my heart...)

Heavy, heavy on my heart...

(Berat di hatiku...)

Berat, berat di hatiku...

(Heavy on my heart...)

(Berat di hatiku...)

I said, I can't find my way home...

Ku bilang, ku tak bisa untuk pulang...

(Heavy on my heart...)

(Berat di hatiku...)

Ohh...

Ohh...

So come and free me

Jadi marilah dan bebaskan aku

It's so heavy on my heart...

Sungguh berat di hatiku...

Outro:

So heavy...

Sungguh berat...

(So heavy)

(Sungguh berat)

So heavy...

Sungguh berat...

(So heavy...)

(Sungguh berat...)

(So heavy...)

(Sungguh berat...)

I have spent 502 days hearing the watermelon crowd harp on about children dying and suffering and starving. Never once have I heard them mention the Bibas family. And if it is confirmed to be their bodies, I'm going to continue hearing nothing about their tragedy from anyone but Jews.

These kids could've come home if only the world rallied together for them. Instead it was decided that they were evil colonizers who deserved only death, for the simple crime of being born within some imaginary lines on a map.

Despite all the cries of "Think of the children!!!" The world decided that Ariel and Kfir were not children, but Jews. And we all know what the only good Jew is in their eyes.

"She's Gone"

This bad boy was started on the third of November, and finished on the seventh. In total, there are thirty panels (all of which were drawn separately).

A good chunk of N's dialogue near the end came to me after I did some improv to figure out what he should say. I have since dubbed it "N's Failure Monologue."

[lucrecia84]

RETICLES published their rough animation for the ending scene from the Lull Ending and aaaah... finally we can properly see their little blushes.

Also the fact that Cheng Xiaoshi is only blushing as soon as he notices Lu Guang...

My heart is full.

LUCKI SHARES NEW 2-PACK OF SINGLES 2 FACED PT. 2

Still riding the momentum from his 2023 album s*x m*ney dr*gs, Chicago underground icon turned national rap mainstay, LUCKI, has just shared a new 2-pack of singles titled 2 Faced Pt. 2. Featuring two new songs – "Heavy On My Heart", an upbeat outing buoyed by LUCKI's candid bars over a soulful instrumental produced by Coupe, and the Brent Rambo-produced "Courtesy Of" – a hard-hitting victory lap draped in the rapper's distinct raspy flow, they both provide the first glimpse into the beloved Chicago artist’s forthcoming album GEMIN!. A longtime staple of Chicago’s underground scene, LUCKI’s hazy cloud rap confessionals saw the then-teenager grow a cult following in the Windy City and beyond before garnering mainstream recognition with his 2022 debut album FLAWLESS LIKE ME (which boasted appearances from Future and Babyface Ray) and hit track “New Drank” (200M+ Streams). The upcoming album marks LUCKI’s first full-length outing since the aforementioned s*x m*ney dr*gs and arrives on the heels of a high-profile appearance on “Broke phone” (7M+ Streams) from Veeze's 2023 album Ganger as well as a strong run of 2024 singles, including “PAIDNFULL”, “COLORFUL DRUGS”, and most recently “All Love”, where he linked with Lyrical Lemonade for a Cole Bennett-directed music video, as well as a guest outing on Southside’s latest track “Elegant”.

Serving as the debut offerings from LUCKI’s upcoming fourth full-length album GEMIN!, “Heavy On My Heart” and “Courtesy Of” are the initial foray into what will be a busy summer for the Chicago-grown artist. He’s currently slated to make appearances at both Rolling Loud and Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash this summer. Now with 2 Faced Pt. 2, LUCKI is officially entering his GEMIN! era as he gears up to drop the aptly-titled album later this summer.

Rubbin it in.

[tritoch]

one thing I find neat about Emet-Selch is that his chauvinism is so intense that it actually prevents him from making the strongest possible case for the unique moral goodness of the ancients, and that this same mental distortion ties into his classic final fantasy need to turn into a Horrible Final Form Monstrosity for your final fight

(for my part I think any minor unique moral goodness the ancients possess they have due to their status as demigods living in eden before the fall. even if they really are morally/intellectually/spiritually/magically/etc. superior to every modern eorzean on a 1:1 level it still doesn't change anything because 1) they are mythical and impossible, that's the whole point and 2) even if they weren't, they still have no particular claim to existence that is superior to anyone else's, no matter how good they are. but the point here is the case Emet-Selch is trying to make, which is that they are more "worthy" of life.)

when he's setting you up for the final amaurot sequence, Emet-Selch hits you with this one:

it's a solid line! stops the party cold for a second.

it's also...not that impressive. do I think if we called a big world meeting that half of everyone would just jump up to be chosen? maybe, maybe not. but, sorry: we're having a big world meeting? are we also demigods with their every material need fulfilled in this version? do we have a one world government that almost everyone seems to fully trust telling us that it knows for real a way to stop the meteor heading towards earth? because honestly i think as soon as we start creating structural similarities like that, it becomes a lot more likely. and every step you take towards making the comparison happen on level ground makes the idea that the ancients were possessed of some unique moral fiber that made them capable of this sacrifice (as opposed to the undeniable abilities in magic and global governance that actually enabled it) seem less and less likely.

and especially if you consider it in the context of what actual people are like. human (and presumably eorzean) history is replete with examples of people sacrificing themselves to save others, even though none of us are immortal wizard philosophers. i don't know how the white-room thought-experiment "will half of you die to save the others???" turns out. but do i think, across a grand rolling catastrophe, that half our population would sacrifice itself to save the other half in a million individual acts of sacrifice to save a parent, a child, a lover, a friend, a stranger? that seems significantly more plausible. altruism and sacrifice for others is even pretty frequent in animals! it's not a very unique moral behavior!

(stanford encyclopedia of philosophy on biological altruism)

but that's not the only sacrifice the ancients made. roll the tape, hythlodaeus!

...Yet oh how the star had suffered. So many species lost. The land was blighted, the waters poisoned, and even the wind had ceased to blow. Once more did our people give of themselves to Zodiark. Another half of our race sacrificed to cleanse the world; to ensure that trees and grasses and myriad tiny lives would sprout and grow and flourish.

(every time I read this speech and hit the ff1/3/5 ref about the land and waters and wind i become mylongestyeahboyever.avi)

this is the step beyond, and it's what separates the ancients from modern humans. they viewed themselves as stewards of the star and really meant it; whatever other criticisms you might level, you can't doubt the depths of their commitment. and this i think really does make them morally distinct from modern people, or at least raises that possibility in a much more compelling way than the first sacrifice. half of the living population sacrificing itself not in a moment of duress and apocalypse but in a moment of calm? when the sacrifice isn't for anything but plants and animals and some tiny proto-eorzeans? that kind of cold, calculated, long-term altruism, aimed at people and living beings that are nothing like you...that does feel like something a little more unique, more worth preserving. even in just the text of the game, we can say with real certainty that the ancients were at least more capable of facing their problems and had greater moral integrity and care for the world than, say, the people who made ra-la.

but emet-selch can't ever say that because rejecting and dishonoring the decision the ancients made as stewards of the star is his primary goal.

like, "my people were uniquely morally good. half the living population sacrificed themselves not for their loved ones or for the survival of their people but simply for the world. for the trees and grasses and the wind and the water. for the humblest insects and for the summer breeze and the tides." that fucks! damn, you got me there! i watch enough people throw aluminum cans in the trash on a weekly basis that i find this sincerely moving and beyond the seeming abilities of my own brethren! oh no, i'm being persuaded by the fascist immortal space wizard!

"and therefore, because they are uniquely morally good, we are going to sacrifice and kill the very things they gave their lives to save, so we can have them back :)" well, shit. i'm experiencing some dissonance here.

but you can't actually lie to yourself as long as emet-selch without distorting your understanding of the truth. you cannot choose to see the world falsely half the time and clearly the other half. in committing to self-deceit and willful ignorance regarding the value of the modern world, emet-selch blinds himself not just to the world as it is but to the ancients as they were. if he could describe accurately the ways in which the ancients were genuinely noble and benevolent, he would also have to able to see clearly how he has entirely deviated from that ideal. and he cannot do that and stay on the path he has chosen, so he simply chooses not to see things accurately.

i cannot help but link this blindness of his to his trial. here, at what seems to emet-selch to be the last stand of the ancients, he says to you "to be clear this fight IS a metaphor, and in that metaphor i stand in for the Entire Unsundered World."

and yet, in standing against you, he betrays both the customs of the ancients and his very title, itself a direct signifier of the mission he was charged with as one of the convocation of fourteen: "to ensure that all is right in creation, that our star may know a brighter future." contra elidibus, for whom remembering his duty to the ancients is one and the same act as remembering his name, emet-selch declares his own to be mere pretense. and that's before we even reach the matter of his transformation.

emet-selch believes the only way he can save the ancients is to betray their principles, forget their greatest triumphs, and abandon their trappings. he renounces almost everything of the ancients, save for his pale and sad and faceless amaurot, in the hopes of bringing them back.

i am reminded a little of borges's three versions of judas, a short story which uses the lens of fictional literary criticism (appropriate for a story as interested in competing narrative interpretations as shadowbringers is) to recast the betrayal of christ by judas not as the greatest of sins but as the greatest of sacrifices.

The ascetic, for the greater glory of God, vilifies and mortifies his flesh; Judas did the same with his spirit. He renounced honor, morality, peace and the kingdom of heaven, just as others, less heroically, renounce pleasure. With terrible lucidity he premeditated his sins.

and, in turn, the sardonic footnote to that very same line, which unsettles that sentiment as soon as it has been presented:

Borelius inquires mockingly: “Why didn’t he renounce his renunciation? Or renounce the idea of renouncing his renunciation?”
