V1 – TONEDEFF
It’s the marksman, armed with bars that scar from yards in/
Foul-mouth Latino, the Dark-skin Cartman/
Startling frauds, Skin ‘em for probable cause,
Spit and I topple the gods, gimme applause, when my part starts to resolve/
Hearts’ll dissolve because my love’s acidic/
I’m urgin a bum to mimmick this surgical tongue precision I’ll burn him for fuckin with it/
Your sternum gets punched in and it’s crushed to ribbons, I snuff these timid/
Thugs in denim with tons of gimmicks of drugs & women, I’m done beginning/
I hunt for limits and I snipe ‘em/
Hung Mother Nature, from the family tree, now Father time thinks I don’t like him/
Let’s try some Isometric points of view/
Why do decrepit boys like you lie and profess their flow’s improved?
When I be rippin’ it better than any of you can – regularly/
So, why don’t you just give up? Cause most of y’all niggas will never get better than me/
I’m indedbted to these cats like QN5 that set examples/
With original flows, over these digital lows and snare samples/
There’s ample proof, we’re hard to take/
It’s evident when cats tremble in our presence like epileptics doing the harlem shake/
Your ART is fake, and it’s troubling, yo/
There’s kids who think the underground just started with Company Flow/
Now we’re stuck with these shows, With 14-year olds and poser herbs/
Claiming their emcees, dropping their fumbled attempts at spoken word/
Who don’t deserve the recognition, but they’ll take it/
Cause when you had the chance and you didn’t say shit… you embraced it.
It’s a basic truth, The Plague’s the crew
We’re that anxious group of tasteless dudes that come to your show and can’t wait to boo/
Cause you overdo it, you feel me yet?/
Rocking a doorag with a headband and a cap that was fitted for Timmy’s head/
You silly bitches, it’s time for the detox/
Copycat rappers act like you got stock options at Xerox/
You’re shocked like you never planned to get caught?
Ignorant dick, don’t know if Neptunes a planet or not/
Faggots! You’re hot under the collar like catholic fathers with they hands on their cocks/
Asking a kid if he’s a fan of the rock/I demand that you watch me
Dismantle your block. See, I can’t ever stop because man never thought/
That he would develop a gift that would give him an understanding as he was taught/
We’ve amassed the assault, leave your ashes dissolved from burning/
QN5 Motherfucker, Tonedeff is the name – learn it!

Lucy Camp is the future. Beyond her unbelievable rapping capabilities, she's completely fearless and versatile with her sound. You literally never know what to expect from her. Tonedeff
Substantial is one of the greatest living emcees on the planet. Adultish is a masterwork of self-produced music about ageing gracefully, handled with a stunning level of emotional & artistic maturity. Tonedeff
This album saved my life. It's instrumental. Maybe that's what I needed at the time, but it got me through when I needed it most. Fantastic melodies and memorable moments. LOVE it. Tonedeff
