DON’T ASK (Voice mail) Don’t ask for nothing That’s as good as it comes x2 “HONEST” I really wanted it I had to Jimmy Cliff I want it random varied pick-and-mix If Dizzee Biggie I’m Wille the kid Take a hint I’m busy if my line don’t ring Just think what a petty it would’ve been If I didn’t social distance ‘COVID’ Picture Jeffrey ‘Fresh Prince’ Or section 8 Oliver Twist I heard you’ve got to try what you buy So if its time then its time BUT I’m fussy at times Having said that just to align Big boots to fill far from my size Brother that’s far from a lie Brother I’m fire alie’ Sorry won’t bother I’m conscious of time Sorry I’m not sorry what’s mine is mine Don’t ask for nothing That’s as good as it comes x2 “HONEST” I want to finish it so I can get silly with Interested, well invested grade 6 If its business take one-fifth I handle mine she handles things It’s got to be water-tight its evident I’ll do the groundwork, build the frame up skeleton Who’s that Hebrew Israelite wondering? Not even lethal Kryptonite can knock him I couldn’t tell my left foot from right I was breaking my spine couldn’t offer a tithe Having ate that Kinder surprise Just keep swimming in order to find I ain’t saying nothing because when it flops who’s wrong? Came a long way from bluffing so when I’m off who’s on?

Excuses

about

"This guy is FIRE" - GILLES PETERSON

“A concise exhibition of his minimalist swagger" - FADER

"Jazz and grime collide here to offer us a thought-provoking narrative and electrically charged-tracks" - WONDERLAND

You might hear hints of great British one-offs like Tricky, Roots Manuva, even a more laid-back Dizzee Rascal as grime, trip hop & jazz intermingle in Rarelyalways sound. The Hackney raised jazz musician, producer and vocalist returns with a new EP.

Can one suggest music is starting to sound like we’re in a new decade? Many creatives put emphasis on the process being organic, not forced. In all honesty “Don’t ask” screams that in it’s entirety, taking an innovative approach that grooves through different gears diving into layers words can’t describe. While ‘Excuses’ leans towards the left field side of Hip-hop with an older version of Rarelyalways talking to a younger version of himself reevaluating the years.
