⚠️Sometimes you make something… put it out into the world… and then the world sends it back to you.🧐

This weekend it came back from the stage.💫🧢⚠️

It started with a text… 📲
“Yo… Bilal wearing y’all hat” 👀

Then y’all KEPT sending pictures & videos. 📸📹 Love IT!! 😂✌🏾❤️🖤💚

Big love to the homie @BilalMusic for rocking our Tree Bark Camo Lo-Pro Cap at his @SummerStage show at @VonKingPark in Brooklyn. 🗽👑 When somebody whose work you’ve respected for years rocks something you made… that means something. ✊🏾

& If you haven’t spent time with his Grammy-nominated album Adjust Brightness… today’s a good day to fix that. instant classic material. Thank us later 🔊

@TheSystemDontWork…
…but We Work. ⚠️

👀 Apparently the Tree Bark Camo Dad Hat been outside… if you’ve been asking about it, it’s still up. 📲link in bio📲

U already know… 🧨🔥🔥🔥

War cosplay in NYC on the 250th B’Day of the Empire 🧐😒🗽

Nothing says “freedom” quite like spending the night cosplaying a war zone… turning the whole neighborhood into a Michael Bay movie. 😂💥🚀🔥

& Yes As Per Usual… NYC was OUTSIDE. 👀

Like Bob said…

“Everywhere iz War.” 💣🚀

GODBLE$$ ’MERIKKKA. 🇺🇸🔥

👀 Burgers & glizzies ain’t the only things on the fire this Fourth. 🧨🔥🍔🌭🧨🧨🔥🔥🔥

🧐 250 years later…

Some receipts still ain’t been paid. ⚠️

A country built on stolen land by stolen hands…⛓️⛓️‍💥

And please don’t act like that’s ancient history that doesn’t still affect us today.

If freedom was for everybody…
this conversation wouldn’t happen every July.

(…or “Turkey Day” for that matter. 🦃)

Any tf way…

Google: Frederick Douglass.

He already wrote today’s caption.

“What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” ✍🏾⚠️⚠️⚠️

🎥 Remix inspired by—and pieces borrowed from—@scalawagmagazine, @sainthoax, @btnewsroom, @vicmensa, @youngmiami, and everyone else whose work helped spark this conversation. Go show them some love. ✊🏾

🤔 Been thinking about bringing this W.I.P. Sessions series back…

During the pandemic, when me & @babyj.biz reconnected on this music shit and started this whole @TheSystemDontWork wave, I was doing these damn near every day. (Crazy what having a little more time will do 😂.) If you scroll back far enough, you’ll find ’em.

Anyway… we back @ it for 2026.

Just documenting the work. 📹

The ideas before they’re songs. The rough drafts. Skeleton ideas. The moments where I’m still trying to figure out what I’m even trying to say.

Basically, a little peek behind the curtain.

No polish. No finished product. Just the process. Mistakes and all. So here we go:

⚠️ #WIPSessions: 6.30.2026
💡 Idea: “You Are Not Alone” — Verse 2
✍🏾 Words: @Nesstagram
🔊 Sounds: @babyJ.biz

Lemme know what y’all think.

If you’ve got an idea for where this could go, throw it out there. A verse, a melody, a poem, a speech, a movie scene, an interlude… whatever you got.

Constructive criticism too, I guess… 😒😂 (Although I’m not really sure what there is to criticize since I’m the best rapper in the whole wide world. 😏🙃✊🏾✌🏾)

Build with me and leave it in the comments.

Like they say… “It takes a village,” right? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Peace,

~ NE$$
