Fallen Down On Me Fallen Down On Me
The second single that I released for this album. A serious, deep song, focusing on the stories of three separate characters, all of whom have lost the respective 'loves' of their lives, in their own individual ways. Beat courtesy of Swollen Drumz.
Long Distance Long Distance
A song written from the point of view of a person in a long distance relationship. I feel like a lot of people can probably relate to this one. Instrumental courtesy of Lucky Boy Beats.
Way Too Long Way Too Long
Another of my favorite songs on this album, this is a very down-to-earth track about my feelings towards my heritage and the way that people perceive me. Probably one of the more personal songs that I've ever made.
Prodigal Son Prodigal Son
A song about my mom and dad. Along with 'Way Too Long,' one of the most personal songs on this album. Beat courtesy of Sinima Beats.
Writin' Rhymes Writin' Rhymes
Another classic Nerds While AZN collab! An awesome way to close out the album in style...me, DMK, and Jam Master Jun spitting that fire. Sweet production on this track, with new-age style horns and claps, all courtesy of Sean Divine Productions.
Heiwa '08 (Outro) Heiwa '08 (Outro)
Had to throw a quick outro in here just to tie the album up. A few shout-outs, mostly to my collaborators, but if you're taking the time to read this right now then you definitely fall under the 'friend and fan' category that I list at the end!
Shoryu's Word Shoryu's Word
Bushido's intro track--40+ lines all based on the same rhyme scheme. I looped the Street Fighter 3 introduction for this one.
RISE OF THE DRAGON Pt. 2 (Passion) RISE OF THE DRAGON Pt. 2 (Passion)
The second track of Bushido, a sequel to the first 'RISE OF THE DRAGON' song I did on Gaiden. Featuring a sampled chorus by Tasha & Tiger JK of the Movement/Drunken Tiger.
bUdDhA STYLE rHymE FLO! bUdDhA STYLE rHymE FLO!
Bushido's third track. An old school song inspired by the classic 人間発電所 mix on one of Buddha Brand's compilation albums.
The Lonely Girl The Lonely Girl
Bushido's fourth track. I released this as a single some time ago. The beat is an updated version of ECD's 1997 song ECDのロンリーガール, which in turn was a sampling of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing.
BlEsS tHe MICROPHONE! BlEsS tHe MICROPHONE!
Bushido's fifth track. A heavy drum-laced song about the hardships and difficulties of life. Featuring the famous Jeff King, also known as DMK.
Take You To Church Pt. 2 Take You To Church Pt. 2
The sixth track for Bushido. Oddly enough, so many people liked the original version of this song (released as part of the first NWA album, 'Straight Outta Cherry ILL') that I decided to make a sequel. Go figure!
~feEls GoOd~ ~feEls GoOd~
The seventh Bushido track. I wanted to make a chill, relaxing song with a easy-to-listen-to beat...something to bob your head to and enjoy.
Interlude {waitin' at the station} Interlude {waitin' at the station}
Bushido's eighth track. A quick interlude for me to practice my description skills. This song is actually kind of based on a true story...
lobby lobby
The ninth track of Bushido and one of my favorite songs on the album. This is a story-telling track, a little similar to 'Streetlight Poetry' but (thankfully) much shorter. Featuring a sampled chorus by Utada Hikaru, the bilingual J-Pop uberstar.
Way Back When Way Back When
The tenth track of Bushido. A nostalgic NWA collaboration featuring Jeff King and Jun Xiang (DMK and Jam Master Jun, respectively).
mY bOoK oF rHyMeS mY bOoK oF rHyMeS
Bushido's eleventh track. I got inspired after listening to the song 'Book of Rhymes' from the album 'Stillmatic' by Nas, so I figured I'd make my own version, complete with page-turning sound effects, multiple verses, the works.
SHANGHAI Noon SHANGHAI Noon
Bushido's twelfth track. A banging Just Blaze instrumental featuring the coolest rappers in the universe (that would be me and Eric Ly, AKA E-Ly). You know you're dying to hear this one.
Your Life (NEON HeArTs Remix) Your Life (NEON HeArTs Remix)
This is Bushido's thirteenth track and a remix of the original 'Your Life,' part of the 'Straight Outta Cherry ILL' album. Featuring BoA. By this time it's kind of become a tradition to have a song with her sampled vocals on every album!
Graduation Graduation
The fourteenth Bushido track. This was originally going to be a 'CH Thoughts Pt. 2,' but the song eventually became focused more on graduation and leaving Cherry Hill, so I changed things around a little bit. I really like this one.
