Jay Sydeman
William Jay Sydeman (born 8 May 1928) is an American composer. Born in New York, he studied at the Mannes School of Music, where he later taught composition (1960–1970). Winning early acclaim for his avant-garde music (principally published by C. F. Peters), he felt trapped by the prevailing orthodoxies and moved to California in 1970, beginning a period of wandering during which he also studied Buddhism and Anthroposophy. He joined ASCAP in 1975. In 1981 he settled in Sacramento and resumed composition at his former prolific rate, having newly embraced a neotonal musical language. He currently resides in Mendocino.

If I'll ever be
Took away by the demons

When I bust a rhythm I come
With the heater cleverly
Nigga nothin' will never be
So killa , flowzilla, gorilla
If flow was a felony I'de be
In a line hella doing time
