The Estate of the Lord Davis has commissioned BLK Market Poetry to conjure scrolls of lyrics to honor Rhys Langston's "Master Fader on Speed Dial" EP release.
In a hand-scrawled box beside two poems and a rare sketch from the Arch-Polemicist's books of drawings, is a single double-sided scroll of the full lyrics from his new release, printed on iridescent, gold linen paper.
INCLUDES TWO EXTRA DOWNLOAD CODES (to share with friends or hoard for oneself)
[made to order]
Includes unlimited streaming of Master Fader on Speed Dial
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
plucked string
double dutch
around horn of Asia
spices clutched,
pearl species
who lost luster,
tore meniscus
mind fuck with
slipped discus off
compact rips
of cinema dubs
eastern progression
writ enlarged, interval
up to cholo sock
charge, see
hegemony makes a great
chai latte large
adorned with stars
and natal charts
in redundant mental acuities
the red carpet is a long shag
the dominant culture is
to imitate now in the past:
founding fathers all in drag,
“Tambor” in their voice
get them dismissed from
a lead role really fast, like
white men explaining:
“Nigga this is race craft”
in their hood voice
while three colored judges
give a down vote in the back
based off the audience’s choice, shit
signed the partial jurist
part-time,
who learned the art of rhyme
on coaxial time
the definition of idiosyncratic; a beautiful, raw odyssey through depersonalization and free association against the canon and toward a new one Rhys Langston
supported by 4 fans who also own “slipped discus (Comparative Race Dissertation no. 17) [prod. kató]”
In a nutshell, Don’t Play It Straight is a resounding piece of avant-garde Acid Funk/hip-hop constructed from artists that have the capability to consume you with insight and trippingly captivating instrumentals. nocluemusic
