While many know Topaz for his visual art, his roots in Hip Hop run much deeper. Before taking a decade-long hiatus to dominate the graffiti world with Jerms aka DJ JS-1 and the FTR Crew, Topaz was releasing music as Lordroc, working with iconic Queens figures such as Marley Marl, Capone (CNN), Royal Flush, Godfather Pt. 3 (Mobb Deep), and more—earning multiple charting singles throughout the late 90s and 2000s.

CLOCKWORK, is an extremely atmospheric, gothic and menacing rap record, that evokes feelings of dread and impending doom.

Strange, warped synth sounds, haunting choirs and pounding drums all combine to create a uniquely dark atmosphere.

Thank you for your time & consideration.

Yasad One "B.E. (Believer's Etiquette)" [ALBUM]

In the cipher of faith and hip hop, Yasad One has always carved out his lane. From the meditative tone of Ahad “One”, through the protest psalms of The Spiritual Rights Movement, to the radiant testimony of SON Kissed, his catalog is a journal of struggle, salvation, and sound. With each album, Yasad has sharpened his pen and deepened his walk, all while keeping his roots buried in the dusty grooves of Golden Era boom bap.

Dream Hampton once wrote that hip hop at its best “is a diary, a drumbeat, a dispatch from the margins.” “Breathe In” is just that—scripture set to rhythm, a meditation that doubles as a street-corner sermon. Yasad exhales bars that remind us this culture was born from breath: of resistance, of prayer, of survival.

B.E. Believers Etiquette, a project poised to teach the posture of discipleship with that cipher circles sound. If Yasad’s past works (The Mood Gatherer, Azar, Spiritual One) traced the path of a seeker, then B.E. promises the sound of a teacher sharpening iron with iron.

"Technology has become prosthesis for the human species. It’s our machines and our technologies that are now the major evolutionary forces acting upon us." - Terence McKenna

Techancholy is about the promise and plague of technology, a digital prosthetic we made out of elements from earth for connection that damages earth and exploits countries for minerals and disconnects and divides us more to make us consumers and not creators. Techancholy is about turning the controls of the machine on itself and draining the AI data centers of water to make more moss.

Jay-Z "Dead Presidents" [SINGLE]

30 years of "Dead Presidents" – Jay-Z is bringing the original single version back to the streets just in time for the anniversary on February 20, 2026! While the media hype surrounding Jigga can often be annoying these days, this re-release reminds us why he's the blueprint for the game. The legendary piano beat by Ski Beatz, sampled by Lonnie Liston Smith, still rolls through the night with the same atmosphere as it did in 1996. The fact that the hook was by Nas sparked one of the biggest beefs in history back then, but today it's simply pure East Coast luxury. This track embodies the DNA of Roc-A-Fella: mafia rap, technical perfection, and the hunger for the "Dead Presidents." For the 30th anniversary, Jay-Z even restored the video with the white Lexus and dropped a limited-edition vinyl run. Anyone who appreciates true lyricism can't ignore this milestone – no matter how loudly the press complains today. This vibe is timeless, straight from D&D Studios into eternity. Add the 1996 single to your playlist, sit back, and enjoy the unadulterated sound of the King of New York.

For collectors and lovers of lossless audio quality, this release is an absolute must-have. The album is available for download and streaming now, solidifying King Latts' position as one of the genre's most consistent voices.

Accompanied by a visually striking music video shot by Queen Philosophical, “Win” pays homage to the ground that raised him and life lessons learned along the way.
