I decided to hear it Thoughts of extending my soul Telling myself not to fear it Sadly they take it and go Sadly they put on a show Sadly they limit their growth Ill just count up my commas Hopefully got some zeros That’s tuff shit That’s tuff shit Gotta be realistic Anybody that does this They already missed it x2 Verse 1: When in doubt i get down and i pray Don’t freak out it’s good now then meditate This my vow this my child this my faith Witness now this no trial it’s my day Okay Now who demands, im the man, understand i think i just met a real fan Got the headband, crossing hands in a flash call me ai you can hear it in the stands Did my last dance, in vans tryna make something as great as the album with the van Get a jazz band, that’s the plan no cap i dont think ill ever leave again Tired of hearing we better friends My patients really be running thin Like a model olympian Full throttle pushing sin Sorry what? Come again Made of money like my name was ben We multiply our dividends Step aside the boss comin in Verse 2: Zone 6, don’t quit Feeling free Butterfly West savanah really saved my life yea Im talking isaiah and aquemeni Messin with me that shit is ill advised yea Read between the lines, suicide Do or die Him and i? Morpheus Ill let you decide yea Magnitude, im poppin bitch godfather flow Marlon the name im the black brando My Pen game insane she loves my strokes We always passing game call it give n go My art is flowing and this energy you’ll be forever knowing This is poetry combined with mamba mentality shit is potent Im in full focus you should’ve noticed how I approached it It’s euphoric i can’t disclose it maybe my endorphins You can’t forfeit we getting closer we touching orbit Im far from perfect this aint even close to my magnum opus Manifest all the words in this world that i have spoken Then unfurl and uncurl...

about

He's back. After a break that felt like an eternity, Cuthead has finally awoken from his creative beauty sleep to check up on his home base Uncanny Valley with his new album THE DETOUR. To avoid overexciting everyone’s attention span, the album is spread over four parts. And he's definitely not coming back as a cheapskate since the album is full of gifts that true Cuthead fans desire. In other words, he does what he does best: Blasting out slick tracks that oscillate between laid-back underground hip-hop, sample heavy house and vintage acid, but with enough surprises along the way. The tracks were created over the last few years, including some jams from his live set that he made while travelling or in a hotel.

The final chapter of THE DETOUR opens promisingly and in typical Cuthead style with the aptly titled BONKERS and the kind of weirder head-nodding beat that only the Dresden resident can squeeze out of his samples. In LISOLEIL, Malone the Chemist drops his lines over what feels like an aquatic jazz foundation. Cuthead spotted the Canadian rapper when he posted a freestyle under a tweet from Flying Lotus. After that, the snares are turned up again in the sample fest that is FOXY. OUTRO is almost epic by Cuthead standards and could easily be the soundtrack to a modern giallo film.
