Call Me Author Call Me Author
My introduction to the world, a high energy joint where I flex a little lyrical skills and tell people who I am. Showing and Proving.

No Dice No Dice
Writing is one of the cornerstones of making good songs. I honestly think a lot of whats wrong with rap today is bad song writing. This is a commentary on that. The beat is ridiculous too.

Drugs Drugs
Music is like drugs sometimes. Once u get into it, its hard to stop, u get hooked. I just try to make my music as potent as possible, and hope somebody gets hooked. Thats what this song is about.

It's Hot (Afterschool Special) It's Hot (Afterschool Special)
This song is loosely based on a bunch of stories I've heard around the way of people getting burnt. Its kind of funny, and of course from the title, its hot. Real mellow beat, something to ride to.

Soldiers Soldiers
A song dedicated to the streets. or more specifically the cats that make the streets "the streets". This is for the soldiers in the war everyday.
Author Authentic, one third of the rap group The Other, strikes out on his own with the help of his bandmates to release Authority, his first solo album. On this project Author was able to show his range and ability to do different types of songs as well as flexing the lyrical potential that fans of The Other knew was there all along. Any patron of good hip hop or good music in general will find this album a gem, an instant classic with longevity. The Other is the future of hip hop, and it is time for the world to experience the future.
Im influenced by whats going on in the streets and whats going on in hip-hop. Im influenced by my brothers The Other and my life as a visual and recording artist. My life is creating things, this music is an extension of that.
