It seems like there’s been ALOT of interesting things going on in Dame Dash’s world ever since the opening of his new DD172 recording / art studio.  Aside from the recently released Blakroc project (that is getting favorable response from the masses right now), there seems to be a ton of extra curricular work getting done as well.  And Creative Control TV has been documenting most of it. 

For example, here’s a Ski Beatz / Mos Def collabo called “Taxi.”  Who knows where this is gonna end up.  I’m just elated to see Ski tappin’ the pads again (well, he never really stopped, but you know how that goes).  This is really dope.

I had to transcribe the lyrics cuz I’ve played it non-stop all day.

SKI BEATZ & MOS DEF – “TAXI” (lyrics):

En garde…bang bang it’s a war of the hearts
We could either make love or we could spar
Either way we hollerin’ out “Good Lord!”
Either one won’t solve the problem at all
Spent the first half tryin’ to get it on
Spent the last half tryin’ to get gone
“What’s wrong?” Sayin’ “Nothin’ at all…”
Watch ya head girl, that lie is too tall
Don’t go, eff it do what you want
I’m out the front door, I’m waitin’ on ya call
Forgot it took place, rememberin’ it all
Feel like forever, the moment’s so small
It’s x-large, your eyes soft, your kiss warm,
Your cold heart, fresh frost
I’m tryin’ to melt it off
Bags packed down home, nothin’ lost
Trippin’ out, endin’ up where you start
Carousel at the merry-go-park
Pretty horse, let me off
Shed a tear but I’m too tired to mourn
I…do it tomorrow, when ya gone
And ya can’t see me at all
Boulevard, love and hate, we at the cross
Buckle up…rough course…TAXI!
