DownTown pt.1 Lyrics Verse One With no introduction. You know what it is/ I shine as bright as the lights over the bridge/ how pretty that city looks crazy/ it amazes me/ In my demise, I'm a die in the same New York that made me/ I tried to live my life right, but I could be wrong/ I'm good as gone, just dust in the wind with my hoody on/ Forget all I had in my past, when they scatter my ash/ It just a matter of cash attacks like my ashma I gasp/ Complex concepts, you cant understand the nonsense/ The only thing you need to knows is my flows content/ I'll be the first one to say it and the last one to wait/ So I can wake up tomorow to hear what happened today/ I can't wait for the change or just make it the same/ I'll only end up dead either way, just a date and a name/ Always underground rotten, when I'm old and death got me/ I can watch my spirit float over my dead body/ Hook MY DOWN IS DOWN IN DOWNTOWN, I'M TAKIN'EM DOWN (x3) I'M DOWN IN DOWNTOWN, I'M DOWN....

"Public Service Annoyance" Lyrics They said... I'm already dead. I think I died I think...I wanna rap on everything that's fly I'm like Andy Warhol with bling on...that nonsense I compete with myself. No Contest I'm an artist..hear these tracks that I paint on You don't feel like a rapper throw ya chains on Shackles hand cuff...fuck for a name dogs Money Power Respect is that what you changed for? Be ashame that whats fames for Shit you mustve forgot what came for All these cats making tracks like fast food Good for a few chews then leave you in a bad mood so quick to steal the vision while our souls lookin Ill do ya soul good...I'm like home cooking I'm not interested in the lights and the fancy cars I'm just tryin to do my thing around these dancin stars Just little old me.

"Museum Music" Lyrics Niamson Verse Take a walk on my side of the fence Where music is so intense Art's extremity takes lessons From its immense style And at the same time Is influenced By definition of reason For no coincidence Even in my darkest days I - Manage to find ways Of paintin' a picture Perfect enough to fit on display Whether it be by hand Or in a can that I spray My projection of self aggression's Viewed by who relates A modern Michael for what I Choose to try to create Both Angelic and Devilish In the form of a Saint Check my last name You don't believe me I say the same As I sign off Leaving my signature on a train My sound like Picasso In a spiccato ain't fancy I'm more the rebellious type You can call my Banksy On my Warhol shit Cause fashion is my lane As I laugh at these amateurs I'm Basquiat'n the game Not droppin' from the top position Where I reign My proposition for stayin' on top Is how I remain One of the illest dudes To put his life on Canvas Paint brush dreams is what they see And can't stand but, I ain't mad cause I'm truely intense see, My Leonardo Louis Got me lookin' like Da Vinci Monograms all on my sonogram My unborn child that I devour like Saturn Is viewed on a stand Crosby Verse If the tracks the canvas, Than my voice the brush Like its coarse and rough, so my tones the touch Flowing through mediums when I switch it up It's picturesque, clock faces that I'm quick to cut Full moon, Un Chein Adlou, before I slit the eye My show got more red dots than a Lichtenstein I'm not only trying to paint a picture when I kick a rhyme I'm trying to get inside your mind like your Hypnotize As a little kid I was the least caring, I just keep swearing Watch the street staring like I'm Kieth Haring The Renaissance turn on when the scenes baring Frescos like Michelangelo it seemed daring Critics quick to hang you like art that museums handle Picasso wordplay means the same thing just from different angles The surrealist live on, I'm André Breton , I'm bomb before I'm gone, I Jackson Pollock the song

For Immediate Release:
CROSBY "NEW YORK POSTERBOY"

Straight up from the steaming streets of the Big Apple, a young, ambitious rapper called Crosby just released his digital album "New York Posterboy" online, available through the website www.NewYorkPosterboy.com. The budding artist, also known alternatively as Crosmopolitan and Clockwork Cros, was born in Bellevue to a noted multidisciplinary artist couple from the East Village. From an early age, Crosby became a public figure; he appeared in promo breaks for MTV, fashion photographs by Steven Klein and Tom Munroe and spreads in L'Uomo Vogue, Soma and Pop; posters for the Winter X-Games; music videos by Spike Jonez, Jim Spring, Micheal Gondry and R. Kern and an album cover for Cop Shoot Cop's "Ask Questions Later". He interned at Def Jam, worked at Jeffrey Dietch Projects and for 5 years Crosby produced the multi-artist showcase Hip Hop Howl for the Howl! Festival in the East Village, while also bringing that troupe to the SXSW Festival 3 years running. Currently, Crosby directs music videos for his company Photo-POW and is also the visual artist behind all the cover art and web design for Swizz Beatz' weekly series Monster Mondays.

Crosby has built a vast reservoir of musical material in collaboration with a host of emerging local talent and is now poised to take Gotham by storm with a series of solo album releases, one per month for the next several months, of which "New York Posterboy" is the first. The record is unified by a series of sketches placed within none other than the newsroom of Murdoch's flagship and New York's most popular newpaper, the Post, as a cub reporter that reminds me of my younger self convinces his editor to allow him to break the story of Crosby's splash into the NYC music biz. Using industry beats and a wide range of sampled sounds, Crosby's aural montages express postmodern sensory overload and the funky syncopation of the life of a native New Yorker. Songs such as "The Wait is Ova", "Born in the City" and "Museum Music" show a hip intensity and cultural savvy in his poetry and delivery. Though this is a Hip Hop mixtape, it reminds this pundit of the highly entertaining, hyperkinetic sound of one of his favorite rock records from back in the day: The Mothers of Invention's "Freak Out." His future releases promise to be even more eclectic and innovative.
