Svensax went back to Sweden to visit his family and met hometown producer hero, Jukebeats. The two connected for the track, "Do What I Do".
lyrics
VERSE ONE:
I must have a twin who sins
Since, I can’t seem to believe
That I’m weaving my dreams into wins
When I’m living a double life
One day, one night
Waking up wondering why I’m high and who was I…
Getting in guts, running amok, giving a fuck
Stuck in a rut
Hallucinations and such got me stuck
A lunatic, all cuckoo and nuts
When I’d rather be lucid, boosted, loose and in touch, but I
I’ll take that rollercoaster ride from time to time
Hind behind a dime
When I’m inside, I’m blind
No bias, expand my horizon
Dive in the deep end
Then, I slide in her DM’s
It depends when my pen is empty
Then my will is filled and there’s nothing left to tempt me
Cheap thrills, ink blots and oil spills
Get some motivation from that ass and I refill.
CHORUS:
I compete with myself who knows me
I can feel when I lose control
There I go slipping slowly
Why do I do what I do?
VERSE TWO:
Jukebeats hooked it up with some slick shit
I never thought I’d be ripping a mic in his basement
In Sweden, no less
And I’m grateful
My cousin Tim always looking out and I blessed
The flipside of getting wrecked
I’d rather be paying respect to my roots and I’m tipsy
Not from liquor, but my thoughts of how shit happens to happen
Superpowers coordinate
Never late, on point and I’m poignant
Point to me the place
Where the compass is common sense
Go into a different dimension
Choose your own adventure
When the tension gets too much
Punch drunk, loose lips, repeat offense
One too many visits to the darkness
We met again
Heathen and sins
Defeated when we relent
Conceited and needy
Meaning my nemesis is me.
Elaquent’s music recalls Oddisee’s instrumental work and Flying Lotus’ Cali-infused electronica. On “Worst Case Scenario,” the composer emotes a pastoral essence. Bandcamp Album of the Day Dec 16, 2016
Twinkling, glitched-out ambience punctuated by bubbling beats: think Stereolab's foundation if they were less European and more Californian. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 6, 2016
Smoothing out his wonky instrumental style, these beefy beats are tastefully paired with twisted jazz n'soul samples. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 9, 2014
