Fuel To My Fire (2004)

November 20, 2009 by Bavu

This was the first collaboration I ever did with Chalie Boy, for Rapid Ric’s Fistful of Dollars mixtape hosted by Trae and Paul Wall five years ago.

fistful of dollars cover

Ric called all giddy, and emailed me an mp3 with the hook on it. I was impressed, and started venting on the uncharacteristically long verse immediately.

I don’t think I’ve done as many joints with anyone as I have with J (of Reelaktz), Element7D and Chalie aka the only one of them who still raps.

For what it’s worth, he was #6 on BET’s 106th & Park today.

Driver’s Side [Poem]

November 14, 2009 by Bavu

i wondered, “who knocked my mirror off, and when?”
but it was a dream, so this is a subconscious or spiritual image
something was being communicated to me
