Hell you lying. In about an hour i'mma have you lying/On your back, taking that cack, up in The Standard we do it like that/Hit the mini bar and i'm pouring some yack/Hope I don't yack 'cause i'm feeling crap/Feeling like shat, past tense of sh^t/Making up words that don't make no sense/Looking to the heavens "Lord get me out of this! I swear i'll go to church never do it again."/On my knees, praying to the porcelain god/Just might black out from too much shots/And how the hell I get here from the garage?/It seems like the whole night has been a mirage/As I gaze in the maze of facades/Everybody's fake i'm amazed at the flaws/I wish I pause the effects of cause/I can't so i'm lost getting tossed with the sauce. Vamp: As I go under, I wonder how you'll remember me/Those inner demons kept on screaming until they were freed/And no more lies , no more spies in the Garden of Eden/Ya hear what i'm speaking? Ya hear what i'm speaking/ Now that i'm falling, they're all in shouting in victory/Those inner demons kept on screaming until they were freed/It's only lies, only spies no more Garden of Eden/Ya hear what i'm speaking? Ya hear what i'm speaking.

about

Having left his native Miami for Los Angeles, producer/rapper/fledgling-audio iconoclast TopBananas knows a thing or two about palm trees, beaches and 70-degree-Christmas mornings. However, as ubiquitous a motif as these sunny influences are, TopBananas’s latest offering, Electric Nights, suggests that his real interest lies in what happens when the golden sun descends for the day.


Fusing influences which range from the Neptunes to Daft Punk, Kanye to Chromeo, Electric Nights uniquely scores each day of the week, vividly detailing potential scenarios and showcasing Bananas’s prowess to set moods and defy genres. From the defiant Monday jam “STFU” to Sunday’s coolheaded and lusty “Slurrrin’”, if Prince did a hip-hop album, it might sound like Electric Nights.


TopBananas is no stranger to unique musical creations; he’s created, remixed and mashed an ever-growing array of tracks; and, his optimistic “Waiting for My Time to Come”, a tribute to hard workers with big dreams, was the theme song for acclaimed writer Brandon Perkins’s digital novel, Please Use Rear Exit. His first effort, Thieves are Among Us of which were given to a handful of friends, was a mixture of Girl Talk-esque hybrids, intermingled with TopBananas’s eclectic originals. Having blessed numerous groups (Bun An' Cheese, Come Down Selecta, Fe-sides) with his musical prowess and now with Electric Nights, he’s ready to venture out on his own. Start the week of right.
