 Blvck Oreo who identifies as "The Lost Biscuit" has released a new EP- Messages from Mars. The talented rapper, singer, and songwriter is popularly known for his well-carved-out messages encoded in Afro-induced drill, pop, and trap genres.

In 2021, he released his first EP- Visitor from Mars. On the 31st of August 2022, He released his latest EP, Messages from Mars. At this point, I believe it is no news that The Lost Biscuit has a thing for "aliens" hence his inspiration for the titles of his projects. Let's take a look at the Messages Blvck Oreo has for us from Mars.

Messages from Mars- Drill, Life & Emotions

Blvck Oreo teams up with Droxx, Tobiiwtw, Big C, Icey Bills, Oluwamillar and Kaey on this project. Of notable mention is DJ Korex who produced some of the tracks on this EP.

This project signifies the growth of the Artist, his life experiences, and his solid resolve to push the frontiers of #234 drill. It is indeed a collection of emotions as I had a little chat with the talented fast rising rapper.
The first track OYO (On Your Own) is indeed a true-life story and experience of Blvck Oreo. He narrates how disappointed he feels especially with people around him hurting him. Hence, the lines in the song "The good get hurt, and they feel so broken, No love got my shirt all soaked..People hurt me and leave me alone and it's me to blame"

 
It is story of my past, getting hurt constantly by those I care about and how I got framed for theft, got taken to a shrine, and almost ruined my life - Blvck Oreo



He further explains that Fake Heads ft OluwaMillar is a call-out to the industry heads, artists, A&Rs that didn't support the Naija drill when the drill movement started. But now that the bigger guys in the industry are beginning to explore the sound, they now recognize it leaving out the younger pioneers. Hence, calling it fake heads.

"Love & Drill ft Kaey is pretty self-explanatory, it's a song that explains a love gone sour. Even though I got hurt by the person I wrote it for, I still put it out because you know, life happens"- Lost Biscuit shares as we discussed. That's a lot of courage. I don't think I'd do that though but on second thought, I should post the poem I wrote for a crush that crushed me some time ago😬. You guys should watch out for it



"I Deserve it- this is a song to someone on Twitter who caught feelings, moved mad and I blocked, it's my way of telling them I understand why you hate and it's fine, but you know I drive you crazy". Hehehe, never saw that end coming. I can imagine the hurt after putting in so much effort. He even made playlists for her monthly😮. Bro is on some clockwork energy for that. Creating a playlist takes me up to 1 week of thinking and 3 days of adding the songs.

234 Drill displays the strength/prowess of the drill scene in Nigeria. Blvk Oreo does this by featuring two heavyweights in the scene, Droxx and Tobii wtw. You should check them out, you'll be wowed. I'm that OG on the other hand is the song you use to show the Big (...) Energy vibe. You will feel invisible and untouchable when you listen to this track. You might hear someone that might sound similar to Vector, that's Big C with the big energy.

THE MUSE

Image
It's a beautiful feeling to have something spark a fire in you,  Its sight piques your interest and builds up an emotion in you.  It brings a combination of love, confidence and elation.  Every artist has a deep connection to something, someone or a feeling as their source of inspiration.  Sometimes, "Till death do us part" is their mode of separation.  I have always wondered what my muse is. What brings my art to heart,  What creates that fire in me to bring my thoughts to life What moves my hands to pick up my pen and write what I feel as it is. I've been in love, I've experienced lust. Alcohol? Or trees I've never felled? (Pun intended) Could it be music or food? Quite close but I honestly can't tell  One fateful day, I wrote, and my heart felt loose, open and warm. Could this be it? My muse is my heart? I try again but this time my heart was cold and this communicated something to my inner self. I decided to write about an old feeling, an acquaintance

Majeeed’s Bittersweet EP: A Blend of Black Coffee and Fermented Sugarcane Juice (Rum)

Image
     PC: IG @Majeeedofficial The project begins with a dreamy instrumental and choral rendition appealing to the soft spot of the inner mental ears. This helps you relax into the mood the sensational singer wants you to feel.  On the first track -" How I care ", Majeed sings out the words of affirmation expressed to him by his lover, declaring the choice of language they've chosen to display deep affection towards him. This track brings out the first squeeze of the fermented sugarcane juice that leaves you in a trance-like state of awe while imagining life on an island with a child-like form of love that comes from the purest depths of the heart.  The monologue right at the end of the first track makes it known that Majeed has indeed written the songs on this masterpiece from a place of deep reflections and realities. One of the prominent lines that draw attention is his modification of a quote from the prominent writer Oscar Wilde, which he uses to emphasize

NUMB

Credit: @awelewacharles_ Twitter It's been peaceful these past months,  My tempest of emotions is calm,  it finally feels like I'm breathing again. I've found solace in myself and the idea of living, yes this is what I want.  I've received the promises and seen visions of what lies ahead. A drop in the ocean, a glimpse into the future; awaiting the day it comes to fruition  How, when, and where? These thoughts cloud my head Don't miss the signs he says, that's your mission.  I open my ears and pray with my eyes open to see clearly, But I think I've clogged my tear ducts. Hence, the reason for these eye aches. I've listened too keenly, my ears are flooded with wax. Need to open the floodgates as soon as possible,  Need a break from everything.  A journey into a mental trance. Too tired to dream, pray or sleep.  I just need some days off, I'll be back I promise.
