Back To Life comfortably sits at the intersection of neo-soul, hip-hop/rap, trap and lo-fi jazzy beats, all with a cinematic aesthetic: imagine Redman, J Cole and Anderson. Paak combining with the spirit of J Dilla, Tribe Called Quest and Funkadelic to create a lo-fi jazzy beat inspired track. This is the first vocal collaboration track in the Cinematic Chromatics series, featuring MC/Rapper and drummer extraordinaire Doron Lev. Lev wrote the lyrics, raps, and performs drums on the track (in fact, Lev is the drummer on all tracks in Cinematic Chromatics Trilogy).

Back To Life (Feat. Doron Lev) + -
Hey, alright Tell me what to do to bring you back to life Hey, alright I’ve been waitin' baby Bring you back to life Hey, alright Tell me what to do to bring you back to life I’m a weirdo (yep) I’m aware of it More zeroes Reload the experiment No heroes (nah) Just me, y’all Marks on the keyboard Art for the people Fresh produce germinate the planet New strains junction Jumpin on the 2 train Always gettin' into something Yeah you know I gotta few things If the view don’t change Put the picture in a new frame Check the brush stroke Goin' for the gusto Crush with a plush tone That’s gun smoke One toke Have you on the floor like a sunstroke Running through the jungle Cookin' up the gumbo They grillin' I see it They wantin' my recipe Beat and the melody And the rest is me? No second guessing these extra terrestrial messages Somebody sendin' me They tellin me.. They tellin me I’m sorta loco Cobra choke hold On the track more than so so (oh no) Forget the status quo Bout to take you back home In that zone Takin' out the trash form on another plateau Platform Ask why they asked for him Coz Doron known to crash boards In the last quarter That’s Florida Strike chords with mic lords in psych wards Can’t just shine Need to be lit from the right source Coz I could stand in the arctic circle Hold my breath 'til my carcus purple Come back the sharpest pupil If everything go right And they applaud for the raw that I sling on mics Raw bars? Raw bars Everything on ice I get old ladies excited Like it’s bingo night Bargaining chips Never pay for the thing whole price In an octopus garden It’s that Ringo life I’m Bruce Lee with nunchucks Playing ping pong nice Post covid killing everything on-site It’s that prime grade A And you know it’s tailor made Comin' to save the day quick Like Ayla Rae Another pay to play Paper chase, made to case Two kings, one ace, crazy 8s Boom Like some 808s radiate In a perpetual state of grace Deliverin' since '88 C'mon Listen to this coz we made it for ya's We christening this ship On this maiden voyage On this maiden voyage
