Lee Scott's upcoming album - A Few Words

Known for his enthusiastic views on Thai monks and his milk-curdling personality, Lee Scott is, in a word, a decent guy. It came as no surprise when he arrived home from a three month stint in Shanghai training with the monks there that a new album was well underway. Grabbing a sneak peak when I shouldn't have been at this fictional release, fans are going to be surprised, charmed, and probably aroused.


Pic for reference


Releasing a fictional statement through various social media platforms, Scott himself told how the album was to be named Sacred Hybrid Sea Lion. Featuring an image, unavailable at the moment, of the iconic emblem of Scott's musical career, the sea lion endowed with a halo of light and a robe of shining silk, it's at the forefront of expression for the rap icon.

Only hearing a few tracks made for a short listening, but I'll run through to give a decent idea of what to expect. Expect the expected; it's a sonic masterpiece, a musical gem, a soulful melody of classics, the best thing since basically ever.

The first track bestowed upon me was the wonderful Thai Life. Or thigh. A heavy hitter fitted with the fattest beats imaginable, the lyrics spew forth from the page through the speakers to your head-holes and infest and breed there, making it easily a top 200 hit. Encapsulating the recent expeditions to the far East, Scott has got to be the most vivid lyricist of the era. With (a rumoured) 90 Asian elephants performing in the make-shift studio he brought with him, the chime section is a whimsical journey of a breakdown.

Coursing straight into the equally erupting Bacon and Jam, the themes and ideas encroach towards the more characteristic existential lyrics on the album. An intrinsically enthusiastic satire on the modern world and all of her corruptions, societal expressionism is in its finest moments here. The rawest lyrics on the album by miles, you can feel the saliva on your face from the ferocious spitting that advances forth.

I missed a few tracks at this point coz I had to take a leak.


Serial killa


Back just in time for a less intense release, Flurbejerb is for the more light-headed of fans. A series of gibberish and babbling layered over bongos and elephant noises, I think this is where the oriental acid kicked in. Easily one for the charts, you can anticipate hearing this at any house party worth respecting in the near future. Pretty sure there's a big budget video in the works as this is typed for this very track. Noticeable in the background is the soft jingle from the bells attached to Scott's robes, giving a very natural and organic feel. You can hear him hopping around in his gibberized state, enchanting the listener with each indistinguishable syllable.

The title track followed this; Sacred Hybrid Sea Lion. Fantastic, enormous, tremendous, immense, enormous... the list goes on. Words cannot do this justice. Lee Scott, by his very nature as is easy to see, became the most important figurehead in the newest movement in music since someone invented a guitar or something. Featuring the heaviest themes explored, the deepest meanings portrayed, and the most significant lyrics of his career, this track is sure to entice and probably arouse the listener. Consisting of five minutes and thirteen seconds of a 25Hz sine wave, this track is genius incarnate.

It was at this point I was kicked out for eating all the egg sandwiches from the buffet, but it is easy to see from these few tracks how important this album will be when it's released. I'm on the edge of my seat; I'm sure you are too. No dates, however, have been released for the moment, but we shall wait together. Already with a deep cult following, the album is going to take the world by storm, and leave a trail of destruction and semi-erections in its wake.

Stay lovely.
