Rusty Teeth from Rusty Teeth by Nec Nymbl x Sankofa
Rusty Teeth envisions the survivalist mentality necessary for independent hip-hop artists, extending the metaphor of DIY to a post apocalyptic future where today’s dystopia birthed the ruins amidst which Nec Nymbl and Sankofa navigate. It is dark, eerie, mysterious, adventurous, cinematic, story-telling, with a sci-fi/dystopian grit. The track ends off with a sudden change into a more wild, psychedelic, drum & bass sound with action packed vocals and crazy effects engineered by Nec's brilliance. A song with intense imagery regarding the dread of living in a deceived world of ruin, mixed with the glimmer of hope with a message of reassurances that everything will be fine even when it doesn't seem to. This song is that spark... that fire to stand up and survive against all odds... to swim against the current and remain real and not be swayed by current trends which fade, putting lyricism and creative beat making with experimental compositions at the forefront.
This track is a perfect experimental fusion of a golden era hip-hop boom bap masterpiece along with some sudden change-up into a drum & bass swagger, with that dope funky hard bass-line riding along throughout the cinematic journey that is reminiscent of a film score for a dystopian, mystery, crime, action, thriller packed with adventure and grime... To top it off one can say that there are even elements of trip-hop depth fused with some cyberpunk strains in it. A dark, storytelling track that will always remain modern yet classical in this ultimate reign of hip-hop and electronic music. The trademark multi-dimensional layering and panning that is present in many of Nec Nymbl's compositions, with the bouncy baa, trippy guitar licks, ghoulish vocal stabs and gritty beat makes this a great track for hip-hop, rock, punk trip-hop and electronic music lovers.
On the beat Nec Nymbl & Surge Cess were experimenting with everything to get that dark, eerie, mysterious gripping-edge thriller soundtrack vibe that they wanted to get across... and when Sankofa and Nec Nymbl shared the microphone to share their adventurous story in the dystopian post-apocalyptic societies and industries amidst the hip-hop culture and music industry, it was a perfect blend. Nec Nymbl & Sankofa wanted to make a single that was ambitious and different to the rest of the album, and place it as the closing sound-piece in order to push their creative boundaries and just be bold...and that they did!
When the beat suddenly switches to drum & bass, the theme becomes more aggressive, adventurous, psychotic, with deranged synth-wobble sounds in which Nec Nymbl's flow changes into different patterns and moods, which show the listeners what he is capable of musically and lyrically/vocally as a most-diverse multi-talented artist. Sankofa comes as a supreme story-teller as the torch ispassed to Nec when they share the chorus, and then Nec contonues the post-apocalyptic storytelling but then takes large shots blasting the whole banking system, school system, globalist movement, new world order, shady music/entertainment industry, fake hip-POP posers, Mainstream Media, Pedophilia infused tv/music/political sphere (Epstein, Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy) as well as the plague of the new age "Meta-Human" modes of life with the social media craze. The drum & bass part fused with Nec Nymb's diverse rhyme pattern and rebellious rhymes remind us a bit of "Coded Language" by Saul Williams, or some tracks from San Diego's Orko Tha Sykotik Alien aka Orko Eloheim and Nephlim Modulation Systems (NMS) with Bigg Jus of Company Flow.
This track is really like a hardcore hip-hop-punk tune that just sort of slams in your face. The kind of tune that gets the mosh-pit hype, the skaters grinding, the bmxers doing tricks and snowboarders flipping of hills. Type of song that gets the bboys and bgirls ready to battle. It’s got a very different type of arrangement, as it dismantles song structure and that mainstream dance floor structure, as it creates a sort of hybrid animal that also works as a vocal experiment. It's a quite progressive cinematic track that pulls your attention through as the intensity builds gradually as Nec Nymbl orchestrates within this co-Production with his Torontonian brother-in-rhyme and beats Surge Cess.
With sounds and audio textures that mimic a warm analog cinematic soundscape as well as a dark, cold and mechanical world... it is basically ear candy that provides an educational story of where totalitarianism and humanity clash head to head, as real hip-hop and genuine independent artistry emerges as the victor.

LYRICS (Sankofa & Nec Nymbl):
CHORUS-INTRO
We broke away so we make it over
They spoke of prey but we contain the closure
Rusty teeth from the grin of a bear trap
Half steppers in the crunch, you can hear the snare snap
VERSE 1 (SANKOFA)
Building armor from the pennies that I recombined
Still regarded them as friendly for my peace of mind
DAS EFX suicide to dine it’s pizza time
Underneath the grates, where we find the place to speak in rhyme
No need to grind within the reeking slime we’re keeping shrines
Beneath the shrouds we hide the meaning with some secret signs
Reach and find the others smuggle breath containing life
Pollution’s paint smears the sun gray and streaks the sky
Never finding any answer for a reason why
The metronome of feet traveling on broken roads
Dodging drones on reconnaissance for token trolls
Combing through the wreckage finding all required pieces
I hear the buzz above, duck inside a bus to beat it
The dust disturbed, I try to hide my cough avoiding others
But soon enough I know the tombs will come with poison udders
Adroitly shuffling my gait to mimic tumbleweeds
The satellites are trained to seek the rhythm from my feet
Become the scene and bring components to my base to build
Barely made it back intact and that’s the ways so ill
Nothing goes to waste in a land abandoned
I’m planning actions with my blueprints no panic added
Got to stay focused, razorsharp and laserlike
Prepping every moment knowing it from days to night
Training for the state of mind, avoidance, not afraid to find
The dagger of Damocles hanging from a fatal vine
Just above where they chose to dwell, a broken spell
Survival mode 45 below who spoke of hell
Motorboats and yachts littering the sandy beaches
Shattered hulls as the skulls to the plans of leeches
Motorboats and yachts littering the sandy beaches
Shattered hulls as the skulls to the plans of leeches
CHORUS
We broke away so we make it over
They spoke of prey but we contain the closure
Rusty teeth from the grin of a bear trap
Half steppers in the crunch, you can hear the snare snap
VERSE 2 (NEC NYMBL)
Top of the apocalyptic morning Kofa
I sip expired soda's executing Diddy's stock brokers
Digital Economy ushered in by JP Morgan's owners
Organ donors needed reuniting bone with my chrome on soma
They go too lazy with their craft mind is always lioma (wasted)
Melting in their orange sofa waiting till the war is over
Ovaries fail thugs become frail they met the quota
Depopulation pacing over hills of rotten corpse aromas
Fused with fumes of metals ionized with radiation
fake mcee's freely took part in this experimentation
RNA manipulation programmable meta human makeshift
Had the Z Generation begging to live in a fake virtual matrix
The ones that left this industry knew how to get along
Shaytan's evil echelon bombing on in eschaton
Robotic DJ arms built stronger than megatron
Slaughter every trapper with frequencies through telephones....
Now ya peso's gone no entertainment on
New world enslavement mon' chemtrail dun' spray them all
Diluvian hip-hop hooligan's in a post nuclear holocaust earth
Malnutritioned female twerkers unable to give birth
Worthless images scattered across the planes of cyberspace
Castrated pedophiles and whorish rap celebrities now hide their face
No mirror could be found narcissists lost their reflection
Google crashed this age was basked in false perception
I tried to warn you all but nobody wouldn't listen
They killed the children's feelings inside the school system
Persistent propaganda with a militant ambition
You should have not allowed the raps and gimmicks they were given
So called hardcore mcee's using gender neutral pronouns
They kept heading toward perdition insisting not too slow down
Clown influencers declined like bee pollination
You signed the dotted line for transhuman augmentation
Directed energy weapons were set for detonation
But the real ones took the blast, survived extermination
I managed to write this song inside my studio bunker
As I plunger my rusty teeth in the beat to curb my hunger
BRIDGE
Your cell is a jail, phoney avatar prevail
If you wanna live in hell don't bother seeing through the veil
Your cell is a jail, break away from their spells
Stuck in the past, future no avail.
Your cell is a jail, phoney avatar prevail
If you wanna live in hell don't bother seeing through the veil
Your cell is a jail, break away from their spells
Rusty teeth time to bail
CHORUS-OUTRO
We broke away so we make it over
They spoke of prey but we contain the closure
Rusty teeth from the grin of a bear trap
Half steppers in the crunch, you can hear the snare snap
