Clifton Beef – “Chapter III: God”
I recorded Chapter 3 after another change in mindset that took place around the fall of 2018. Most of this project is stream of consciousness freestyling. Often times I’m speaking in multiple languages at once, and others, I’m just vocalizing. In the prime of mumble retard fraud music, I thought I’d test to see if Americans were interested in intelligent skill (they’re not). In total, the album has over 500 songs on it. I actually found out that Soundcloud caps the album size at 500, but that was around the point when I learned about all I could from the experience, and had said enough of what I needed to. This was a journey of self-discovery but I also want to show my vocal ability. I don’t believe there is anyone in entertainment that has the vocal range (octave and inflection), rhythm or vocabulary that I do, with the amount of unique urban and rural, multicultural real life stories that I have. If they are anywhere close, they are not working manual labor, service labor, internship, part time and temp jobs – alongside their craft – to make less than 40k a year. I’m talking ancient history to present topics on this one. If you have the stomach for something different, try me out. There is no particular order, I’m just goin.
Clifton Beef – “Chapter II: The Remixes” EP
I need to do more of these remixes where I destroy the artist on their own record, and everyone else who made an attempt at making authentic, skilled, creative art over the top of the instrumental. Enjoy The Remixes. Talk that shit. It’s Chapter II.
Clifton Beef – “Chapter II: The Move Out West” EP
As everyone with any intelligence, work ethic and spine should know, The Move Out West was a silly one. I ripped that “City” full of retards apart – single handedly. I also wrote this book called Why Wisconsin Voted For Donald Trump: The Coastie Privilege. This is some of the music I recorded in the process.
Clifton Beef – “Chapter II: The Producer” EP
I’ve been humming, whistling, singing and beatboxing for a long time. I started making beats in Fruity Loops around age 15 or so. Then I got into Garageband, and eventually, Logic Pro. My influences come from all types of music. Whatever hits me, and I connect to on a personal level, I might sample – or use as inspiration to make a record in the same key or with a similar feel. I’m a self-taught musician and do everything by ear. Sing for me baby and I’ll make music for you. You know how I produce those sounds. Chapter II.
Clifton Beef – “Chapter II: The Fall Out” EP
On the other side of The Fall In, comes The Fall Out. Getting involved with someone knew is easy. It’s exciting and fun. Recognizing when a relationship has run it’s course, though, is one of the hardest parts of perpetually giving your love to others – without expectation. Even if you might think you can remain friends after what you had, thinking, maybe, you were strong and knew too much of where you were going to give your all to another person, there might’ve be people, parties and money that stood in the way of you two. For me, it’s been lifelong. Almost everyone I’ve ever met before 2017 wanted my love to die and lie as deep in the ocean as possible – drowned, lost and forgotten forever. Double Major.
Clifton Beef – “Chapter II: The Bars” EP
I dedicate Chapter II: The Bars to the weekend – to the many wild nights getting weird in Mad City. As youth, we aspired to go downtown to party with the big kids and see college girl titties. Can we do it drunk? That’s really the only question we ask ourselves when deciding recreational activities.
Since Wisconsin gets drunker and has more liquor stores than anywhere else in the United States, and has the 3rd most bars per capita (behind North Dakota and Montana) – I think it’s fair to say the Cheeseheads party the hardest.
There’s always sumn going on at The Bars and I’m a king of the night scene. I get it lit whether I’m out, on stage or behind the bar. I’m in a strange position now that I’m 15 months sober, but nothing can take away my time in Madison, Milwaukee, and wherever else in Wisco we decided to get bopped. In times of need, the bars have been there for work and recreation. I don’t have a problem with alcohol, it has a problem with me. Drink Wisconsinbly. This is my 4th EP of 2016.
“Ay, who dat der?
Wait, I know her, she look like Kardash
But why is she creeping behind my back now?
To get with dude from my old frat?”
