Speak to me
in the language of love
Don’t screw it up at all
With weapons of hate
Just wait
You wait and taste the bait
We don’t need any ghost
To tell us most
Things were lies
In disguise
Now repent
In the language of love
The only language is love
What’s your clearance Sir,
Yu seldom in the TerrorDome
Big Mamma’s Dia’Beats Up
Pauly in the Bio-Dome
Ax the Door, Johnny’s Home
Junior, (he) tried to Shine
I fight the white, Panther
Congress steps the Rally Cry
Bobby Valentine, scheming with
The best of Them
Coffee shop Bombs,…weed the
Children outta Men
Back when Def Jam Logo
Was the All Mack
Rubin came along way, from
days sprinkling Crack
Fenster crime accent,
Can yu hear Me in the Back
Malice Stone Palace,
In the crowd with Captain Jack
…Let me think on it, Xavier,
he never Right
Charles and his mind games
Soured all the Acolytes
Didn’t trust the X, ‘til he
Soul II Soul, Back to Life
S.W.O.R.D. was off Brand as
Arrakko went Satellite
Silent Night First Blood drawn
Like Inspectah
Here comes the Lords,
Mike-Microphone Checka
Smacked a pack of stella of ya nissan
Even after ya told me you was a big fan
Seems i passed on a pack of innocent me plans
’N smacked a crack patch on my back above of my ass crack
Tapped out bounced back
Co captain
Slow reactions I’m satisfied with crying defying my strong accents
Big focus on how am acting
Lay no motion slow motion no tactics
Big btown no friendships
’N took a trip round the corner before i end it
A Piece of music
A gorgeous canvas
Painted out of love
Made out of kindness
Doors locked , end of my shift
Lay back, rub down my feet
Can’t wait to come back home
Imma need to relax, relax, relax
Imma need to relax, chillax,
kick back, lay down
Visions of home
Castles built of smoke
In-between the night and day
I can barely recognize your face
Visions of home
In this twilight zone
In-between the lost and found
All I want to do is wrap my arms around you

about
Green Monster, the 4th Kito Jempere studio album is a journey through love, interconnectedness and creative freedom, bound together by musical friendship that breaks through walls, borders, languages and shapes; accumulated over a celebrated twenty year career and ten years of Kito Jempere.
Over fourteen tracks Kito teams up with over 26 artists from all over the world: a range of talented artists including Warp records artist Jimi Tenor, Red Snapper drummer Rich Thair, Azari & III ex-vocalist Starving Yet Full, L.I.E.S. records Lipelis (on bass), Curly Castro and SINDYSMAN. The album blends hip-hop, free-flowing jazz and world-building soundscapes into a piece dedicated to Kito’s musical roots; marrying multiple artforms, cultural influences and international artists into a body of work that feels deeply personal, healing and detailed. The accompanying artwork is a world created by Kito made using Midjourney prompt, connecting the albums audio world with visible objects — both vinyl and CD will contain booklets with lyrics and the visual world of Green Monster.
Kito describes the album ‘like getting Ennio Morricone, Weezer, The Beatles, Oneohtrix Point Never, Eduard Artemiev, Jaga Jazzist, Massive Attack, Fugazi, Jimi Tenor, Hans Zimmer, Radiohead, John Cage and Aphex Twin all together, then collaborating with movie-directors Wes Anderson, David Lynch, Dziga Vertov and Andrei Tarkovskiy.’ Used as a metaphor to help create his album.

just from very first purchase at small local store, this album opened me that mixture of jazz, electronic and even rock which I was always loving but never heard together Kito Jempere
