Black Skies by Classic Santi

The mood of the album gets progressively darker like the sky (hint: black skies). However, once you get to the end of the album you can feel the songs getting lighter in spirit until the outro that is…The outro is almost in its own lane.

Now back to the mood of the album. This album takes you through an array of my feelings. I guess that means I’m in my feelings. Huh?Lol. Anyways, the album starts off pretty light (Light doesn’t mean like picking flowers in the garden.lol.). I’m rapping about hangin with my crew, drinking, having a good time and just enjoying life. I also touch on deeper subjects that are lighter in spirit too such as dream chasing, love and other experiences that I’ve learned from. Then, when the interlude hits the mood of the album shifts. The mood of the album transitions from a lighter tone to a darker tone. My perspective on life in general is darker on this side of the album. I start to talk about death, government conspiracy and a darker perspective on relationships. Then, I bring the album back a lighter tone with songs like “Better Like This” and “Durags ta Hoodriches”.

This album is meant to play out almost like a movie. I want my listeners to grow with the person I am in this album. I’ve grown a lot since I wrote this album. I wrote this album between 2012 and 2013. However, the experiences that inspired this album were a part of that growth. If you follow my music, you know I love to use metaphors and similes. In like fashion, the concept behind this album is a metaphor itself. The album grows darker like the heart tends do over time and experiences. One thing we all know that’s constantly changing from light to dark is the sky. As the sky, changes so do we as a people. I bring a lighter vibe around again before closing the album because the darkness (or black sky..) is never permanent. That last sentence is important because I want emphasize that even the darkest of times (..or skies) doesn’t last forever...

I call myself Classic Santi because the things I say are things only I could come up with. I'm not saying this because I think I'm the most lyrical rapper ever. My songs are more than lyrical. Every bar has personality, charisma, style and a unique cleverness to it. It's almost as if I'm having a conversation with you in my songs. I combine these lyrical verses with catchy hooks and melodies.
