electrocaïne’s X-Series focuses on hip-hop and beats while staying true to the label’s colour. We’ve reached out to two Chicago-based artists; Lapgan who’s a beatmaker and megiapa who’s a producer and melodist. This single announces Lapgan x megiapa’s upcoming EP in November 2020.
Liminal State of Mind reflects the uncertain nature of the current moment in history. We are facing constant dualities; the duality of hope and hopelessness, conviction and doubt, involvement and isolation, revolution and regression. This track evokes the feeling of existing between spheres and eventually finding peace amidst it all. We've invited Casablanca's beat-maker, Saib, for his interpretation on this piece.
lyrics
I live
No limit to what I do
I live
No limit to what I do
No limit to what I do
No limit to what we do
We sit real tight
We touch the sky
We so uptight we kill our vibe
Ain’t no limit to what i do
Ain’t no limit to what i do
If you wanna come through
There’s no room
There’s no room for it
It’s so real
No limit
No limit
I look inside
I close my eyes
You know I can’t explain these thoughts
You know we can’t explain the stars
No limit, no limit
Sometimes the world gets too much to be in
We can’t explain everything that we see or know
Someday it may shine bright and clear
I know what it can be
I know what it can be
Soooo what’s goin on
We may never know, never really know
What’s going on
What’s going on
Just let it let it go
Just let it go
Let it go
We may never know
Never really know
