Verse 1 I’m just tryna leave hickies on ya body for the photoshoot. She half something, half black with a full Brazilian. Drive a big body Benz that don’t know no roof. Her Ben franks chump change, think she multi millions. And the voice so seductive. She love a man don’t need instructions. Ex man ain’t do it justice. Damn him baby, what’s this. We get into it and she feel the need to cuff wrist. You should treat me like a felon baby. Action angles we don’t seldom tape it. Usually in the truck, no telling lately. To a room, we never made it. Caught with a nude suit full leathered maiden. Holding two scoops of melons baby. All I heard was hold the elevator. Chorus I shoot the text baby, I need company. Get ya feet wet baby, then just run to me. Take a deep breath baby, test your lungs on me. I’ll go sleepless baby, I need release, release, release, release. Verse 2 Like a drive in movie, summer nights under stars. Way the neighborhood watch shining lights in the car. Two emergency brakes, don’t mistake ‘em at all. One will bring us to a stop, the other breaking through walls. I’m tryna, squeeze the thick parts. See some things part. Got good service baby gon’ be some missed calls. Fenty and the Vic-tor-ria ripped offed. To the store, get you more of what I tore, see dior as decor it’s better off on the floor. Have the fitting room clerk with an ear to the door. Who’s tapping out girl I wish you luck. Ain’t gotta put you against, I can pick you up. Now Release. Pre-chorus Sara Lugo I shoot the text baby, I need company. Oh no no no Can’t be waiting for ya You better hurry Know what you like Baby don’t worry Chorus I shoot the text baby, I need company. Get ya feet wet baby, then just run to me. Take a deep breath baby, test your lungs on me. I’ll go sleepless baby, I need release, release, release, release. Chorus I shoot the text baby, I need company. Get ya feet wet baby, then just run to me. Take a deep breath baby, test your lungs on me. I’ll go sleepless baby, I need release, release, release, release.

Say something Live life be someone Say something Live life be someone They frontin' Talk loud say nothing They frointin' Talk loud say nothing Motivate motivate that's my life work Elevate elevate see how light work Heal stance in my vans fancy foot work Real fans in my lane see how love work Coming back full circle like a fuckin boomerang Soaking up all the knowledge all the game not in vane Pull the laces on my sneakers make another beat See the violence on another brother in the streets How long before we see the charges briefed How long before his mother speak awake from grief not a sleep Hand on her chest countin the sheep soundin the beat Resounding her speech Groundin her life in all her belief The pain like Woah! You know to break ain't fashion like Woah! You know the shift from wrong to right Woah! Now hold your head up soldier like Woah! You know this dream won't change my life Bust on that, super soaker silibles that crush all rap I'm stranger in the booth but f**k all that I'm trying to speak the truth but your ears to flat I'm trying to kick the truth man I just give facts No stranger to the booth man I just live rap Feeling like a loop they way it just come back As sacred as a life man you can't take back ( you can't take back) Motivate motivate that's my life work Elevate elevate see how light works Heal stance in my vans fancy foot work Real fans in my lane see how love work Coming back full circle like a fuckin boomerang Soaking up all the knowledge all the game not in van A poet of the moon and stars many bars A lotus flower in the bloom of God's many yards What you seeing is the home of falls many flaws The odds that break laws and many jaws I seek truth thru chards and pointy claws Nrsimha in the flesh with blood on many arms Say something Live life be someone Say something Live life be someone

about

Being a producer for many years and under different names, it is as Alter Real that Xavier Laporte signed with Nowadays Records in 2019 and released his EP “Blue Comet”. His following project “Elevate” will be coming out this summer.

As a composer with an obsessional sense of perfectionism, Alter Real is getting out of his usual pop patterns, pushes the boundaries of his sound and tries to experiment: “This EP is all about collaborating, producing for rappers I love and getting them in a different position than what they are used to. I’ve always listened to a lot of hip hop and I’ve always wanted to produce some. I felt like it was now or never and started exploring new beats, new sounds, new textures. It was a challenge but it also felt like a release.” – Alter Real

This results in spontaneous and efficient productions and it creates an alchemy between all his inspirations - from jazz to pop and rap. “I really enjoy producing hip hop and searching for powerful beats. I love being surprised by what the artists I collaborate with are offering, I find it really stimulating. Especially the conversations going back and forth.” - Alter Real

On this new EP you can find many guests, such as the rappers Heem Ze Loner, Jai Nitai Lotus, Charles X and the singer Sara Lugo.
Following what he started with “Blue Comet”, Alter Real keeps on experimenting while asserting his own sound. He mixes many different influences and creates meticulous productions.

The tracks ‘Yams’ and ‘Life Work’ are the perfect result of his new hip hop sound. But the producer also doesn’t forget his love for pop music, as you can hear on the banger ‘Release’ and its powerful lyrics and chorus.

The cover was made by his friend, the photographer Matthieu Venot, who is a specialist of geometrical and abstract forms and who likes to focus on architectural details.
