http://www.glassEyeballs.com/ Gripp spits hot fire. Announcing Gripp's next solo album, coming 01/21/14 from glassEyeballs: "Ansible". Lyrics: you probably ask/ how I became such a polymath// probably the classes that I grinded past// you were popping molly; I was reading research in the laundromat// mind fast/ so follow my Denali tracks// I don't bodybag/ rappers; that's a sloppy act// and I'm no copycat/ asking them to holla back// fuck them/ I buck trends/ I snuck in// the backdoor to upend/ this industry like a duck pin// fuck an A&R;! I'd rather talk robots// with a post-doc/ wearing low-tops/ and no socks// I'm so hot/ that I'm melting steel// so hot that my flow is changing the boundaries of the Kelvin scale// so keep on searching/ nothing you've seen's as perfect// he's berzerk and/ even nerdier than Steven Urk is// Urkel/ the Duracell/ flow that keeps on working// so absurd with/ a drawer full of Arduino circuits// I stepped in with a seamless verse/ that I pre-rehearsed// smooth as Venus and Serena's serve/ the best you've seen or heard// 'cos in addition to the flow, I'm just better looking// these rappers always hungry, but they're never cooking// came from the underground/ to thunder out/ a hundred loud// verses, proud/ until they rip my tongue from mouth// I run this town/ not like Rihanna's chorus// catch me in Somerville with pit stains and jogging shorts// out in the 'burbs where they don't lock their doors// but fuck with me, you might get more than you bargained for// I'm a carnivore/ in sweaters from the army store// I'll beat this dead horse and it's the one you put the cart before// I don't know how long the flow'll keep// it might just end up rotten like molded meat// but for now I've got it, yo, it's sweet// Ansible is coming; all you other rappers go to sleep// Peace...
