E. Honda 02:44
Introducing the new Dodge E.Honda because he's a fat man in his draws with Hadouken power And we're gonna keep the hour going come on Jack and Jill what do you have to say. Jack and Jill, went up the hill To catch a pale supermoon ew Jack went down, to find Jill's crown But then came a waterfall, And Jack didn't drown Jack ain't quick, But be nimble And more cheap and simple than trap symbols Brought to you son, by A-bombs and Grendels Sewing together kingdoms without thumbs or thimbles So don't be calling me king, Who would want such a thing I would rather me stay supreme in the supremer scheming of things My energy ever clean more addictive than ketamine My money is never green and more crypto than ghetto bling I bash neighbors with wives that flash neighbors Their lives are hash vapor, PCs and movie maker Update my Flash Player You don't know me like adobe, But you should so now you owe me I'm the scented candle on your mantle... Blow me.. For the snakes in your head like Medusa I'm Perseus Don't look at me loser but be courteous Save them eyes for the Kraken Hey, here go a napkin Victims, for lack of wisdom tooths Give back to sound system booths and blame it on the youth That sit back and learn stats navigating through caves like blind bats Usin my rocks for reality, They bounce sound off me They ain't mad, but I except apologies Closing walls and ticking black clocks That ain't the pocket watch, tell Jim that he can't watch Coldplay be the cosplay, mad blerd, wurd Too many many people on the golf course, And not enough watersports, let nature take its course Inject you in the Iris, with a Billy Ray Cryus, There you go Pirate Bay Pirates Makin your heart achey breaky (Press like and don't hate me) Over here Al Green sayin "Look what ya done to me" I know they're so mean Take one for the team, the baggage is a task Jim Carrey and Cher don't ask, Mask

Lone Ranger 01:53
Unicorns and rainbows, Glitter, cheap makeup and bracelets on ankles Mathematics and braincodes Can't rearrange those For instance Thomas Van Leek was really Kid Durango, Predating Django Guess you gotta fact check Watch a lot of Dragnet? Ya wife ain't came back yet, damn she got a fat neck You protective detective expect the unexpected Your card's been rejected but it's free membership If you stay in the house, scroll down a little bit, you should be seein your spouse Still ain't seein em She might be on premium and they throw that in for free for a limited time only Smells like bologny rockin swiss macoroni Man she's a tone poney dairy terry all the diney Makes the Ghostbusters slimey Accept for Winston White powder on glove blind date with Sonny Liston Cameras rollin you can't tattle work for hire with a paddle Richard Pryor Blazing Saddles he'd rather do battle So getty up ferry duck walk like chuck berry screamin Go Johnny Go Slapped you cause his name's Sonny though Parked out in the Kokomo, No They ain't it slow Beach Boys play with beach toys She got tired of that shit and went for Deadwood Dick Keep Surfin USA, until I get my back pay No sandcastles today, They fell into the sea eventually Ask Jimi Overjoyed like Stevie, unemployed so you don't see me Roll up your sleeve when you play with my Bass Reeves Nat Lovin you to death, Private, at ease

RETAIL 03:27 video
Hamilton ass stays claritin aspirined up, runnin away from truths, jumpin on stages breakin legs like John Wilkes Booth Courageous in the head she's Herman Ruth, without the Vermouth, no Martini But battin em out the ballpark, so she see me askin her out at Walmart cold sashimi, More toiletries than an aardvark, gettin clean's the hard part, me and my shoppin cart? This is the last fix I'm givin you tricks, and you're tellin me to get smart? I make this store billions and Amazon trillions, They be my new pavilion for housin reptilian civilians Spend over a million in a lifetime and don't feel like a millionaire at nighttime not a crime, I think it's fair, Dirty Draws, Only Fans, and Dancin Bear Thinkin your way too square to be there you'll be there on the square, totally unaware, Swiss fondue in ya hair with a logo sayin "nobody cares" (go.ho) Ass smells like gruyere's with a mixture of sweet pears Take a picture let's see if she shares, without silverware, Nuts fly in the air Flyin Squirrels be these girls like the Jacksons I'll be there (Look over your shoulders honey) Birds of a feather Think you gettin away but I got you on free range, so that the meat tastes better All that cheddar (Trumpet) She swallows kids in a clinic on they meds pushed through the senate, the walking dead Grown folks talkin go to bed, rejoice, Now here go my invoice, Giving you the track without stems, You can't mix and master lab rats workout in gyms. You midget rat bastard you keep comin up short, Even your homeroom teacher's giving me bad reports Stay snitchin actin like you a magician cause you made your first bones, Hocus Pocus The only reason why you won is because you played bogus (and you know this)

Son of a Gun 02:32
Yeah my back hurts. But that's alright. I got stats. Yo this track sounds like I'm supposed to give you stats about Blacks being shot by cops that listen to Tupac. Some could get rich if you were to do that guess you already knew that. Yellin out while sellin out, guess I'll be bailin out I don't fuck wit it but good luck wit it, This kind o' shit, you get stuck wit it So shuffle on em Bruce, get foot loose Kick off your Sunday shoes, perform with a golden noose You lions come outta tepees, feathers and dashikis Ted talkin feces, walkin dead what a species Burnin stage on the main stage Invisible cage with rehearsed rage Invisible bars with fast cars, fake sage Recite page Pre-edjaculation from cultural masterbation Still, I gotta commend your preparation They really didn't give us reparations but everyone got a stimulus Haha kid, you seein this Don't listen to R.E.M. but hits me on DMs For chocolate nuts and M&Ms, One o' them Playin by her rules the garden tool's a fool But I better not vex her, she has been known to breed oppressors ask my history professor We don't get leniency but have the decency through God to make frequency evening out odds So here go a soundtrack for your stank ass cracks (while you kneel before Zod) Snuggles and cuddles in an auditorium listenin to a euphonium talkin about Tell us about your struggles, Do you mind if I blow fart bubbles for forty five minutes And oh yeah we're from Kemet, Some talent expo Make me wanna suck fuck and abduct you like the "B" movie Xtro Buffalo Bill breedin Geronimo, At least he didn't make a dollar bill rapin thunder ho Son of a gun, Leron no Trumpet on this one Yo I said no Trumpet, the hell you doin Hey Leron listen to me You don't fuckin listen

about

‘A jazz musician’s vision of hip-hop’ – The Times

NYC-based rap lyricist and jazz trumpeter Pan Amsterdam returns on Def Pressé with a distinctly fresh sonic swagger on single RETAIL, announcing the P.A.&JSammich EP 4-track EP.
RETAIL exemplifies perfectly the mood of the EP (which sees a very limited vinyl release), four tracks of cheerily ominous storytelling set to synth stabs and trumpet flourishes, with a smattering of personality disorder.
The release follows up BBC 6Music favourite, the GUTS-produced single Carrot Cake, and its mother album, HA Chu.
Carving his own niche of a jazz-rap very different to and darker than its Golden Age cousin, Pan Am’s sophomore LP (“one of the strangest rap works of recent times”, thanks, The Independent) saw him hit the buttons of leftfield hip hop fans and word association enthusiasts.
Ha Chu saw Pan Am reflect on his touring life over the years, from his jazz scene displacement in NYC to becoming a songwriter and bandleader for Iggy Pop under his real life pseudonym, Leron Thomas. HA Chu featured collabs with the aforementioned GUTS, Jason Williams of Sleaford Mods, Malik Crumpler of Madison Washington (and Def Pressé) and Coup Diablo - aka Jimi Goodwin of Doves.
Pan Am’s first album, The Pocket Watch, saw him tour with DJ/producer Mr.Shn and rapper-wrestler/‘What Had Happened Was’ podcast host Open Mike Eagle.

*The Vinyl will now ship as close to Dec 20th as humanly possible!*

about

Pan Amsterdam New York, New York

When Pan Amsterdam washed up on the coast, he was wearing an oversized black velvet jacket with a cigarette burn, black jeans and two different coloured church socks. Further along the coast we found a trumpet case WITH a trumpet inside of it, in the case's side zipper there was a mouthpiece, valve oil for the horn, and a drive with tape on. Written on the tape were the words, "Elevator Music". ... more
