Title: Braggin’ Rights
Artists: Azrael & Jay-One
Written by: Azrael & Jay-One
Produced by: Rauzan Rahman for BrandNewFeelinG
Recorded and mixed by: The IZA @ The.XS Lab
[Verse 1: Azrael]
Yeah it's the new era/ flag wearer/ XS flag bearer
Stay fitted I'm committed like a brand seller
Guerilla hustler/ Proving that my brand's better
XS/ I believe nobody's brand's better
I set standards/ but I ain't no trendsetter
Cause I don't ride trends/ Fuck being a trendsetter
I'm a minimalist/ Yeah I'm a simple dude
I make things my staple/ like staple food
So I don't be like: "Yo, that's so yesterday"
Cause what's yesterday made you what you are today
And what I am today is really what I am today
I don't gotta brag just go check the résumé
The portfolio is Oreo/ Cause haters wanna bite
and jack the swaggerdocio
You prolly think I'm braggin’ right?
But you know I still got my braggin’ rights...
[Chorus]
You prolly think I'm braggin’ right?
But you know I still got my braggin’ right (Right!)
And you know we got the braggin’ rights
Jay-One & Azrael got the braggin' rights
You prolly think I'm braggin right?
But you know I still got my braggin’ right (Right!)
And you know we got the braggin’ rights
XS-Dot-One got the braggin' rights
[Verse 2: Jay-One]
Talk about them braggin’ rights? I brag so right
My swag so tight that I got your sights
I flow so nice you might bite what I write
My plight? Huh, take flights to heights
And drop the dynamite so you run and hide
You ain’t rhymin’ right/ I'm the rhyming knight
With the armour of light/ that will shine the night
The reflection so bright I will shine tonight
When I floss/ I illuminate the stars
Outerspace emcees we invading mars
Containing the heat with them blazing bars
I'm the one in the hot seat setting the par
Right about now/ I think the timing's alright
I write about now so I write what's right, huh
You prolly think I'm braggin’ right?
But you know I still got my braggin’ rights...
[Chorus]

Title: Forever (RMX)
Artists: ShiGGa Shay, Alyph, Kwizyne & Azrael
Lyrics: Drake, ShiGGa Shay, Alyph, Kwizyne & Azrael
Beats: Performed over "Forever" by Drake feat. Kanye West, Lil' Wayne & Eminem
All vocals self-recorded by each individual's studio and mixed by The IZA @ The.XS Lab
[Chorus - Drake]
It may not mean nothin to y'all
But understand nothin was done for me
So I don't plan on stoppin at all
I want this shit forever mayne, (ever mayne, ever mayne)
I'm shuttin shit down in the mall
And tellin every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even plannin to call
I want this shit forever mayne, (ever mayne, ever mayne)
[Verse 1: ShiGGa Shay]
They told me quit rapping, blowing up will never happen
Kept saying im asian now stop talking with an accent
Postman flow, nah fuck what the mail say
Cause I be runnin tracks like a train on a rail way
So fly I dont need my feet, you're played
My life so sweet haters sour like lemonade
My moniker's lava so you can call me fire [Moniker=Nickname]
Rappers hate then search for me on limewire
Talkin stationaries when they say they a ruler
Masking the bass you would've thought I was a tuba
Time is money so I dont have change for chats
Online gangstas man I call them neopets
Concrete jungle every man wants to win
Document haters and drag em into the recycle bin [Turn haters into Documents]
That ain't cologne its the smell of success
Imma succeed and put all these fake rappers to rest
Yes~
[Chorus - Drake]
[Verse 2 - Alyph Sleeq]
welcome to the magic
shit's crazy man
so i'm a magician i envision tricks and trip u off positions
i am sleeq with my diction
i am sick of my tradition
to always produce hits, but never do too much
and always exclusive, introduce you to new stuff
i'm fallin sick so mother ewek im ill, ewww
yeah mother ewek i'm still
here workin hard as ever, shakin the market
been walkin to arts house to walkin red carpets, yea
and i ain't never thought of stoppin
and my videos was somethin haters never thought they watchin
the time is clockin
though i'm a chatterbox i'm always on time like i was tick talkin
yeah
this prolly ain't my best verse
but it's actually more than what u deserve
not what the rest deserve
i got the best reserved
eat the beef quick and i'll give u some dessert
so can i have my money that u owe me
i'm wonderin, with all my cheese u ate, why u still skinny?
that's why u runnin from me, i got u paced
so please bring my cash, cause i brought a case
get it
[Chorus - Drake]
[Verse 3 - Kwyzine]
this is for those who dealt with health for stealth
clad clothes pixelated. not bathing ape-ish camou
this is for those who aren't 21. Armed. 21 Sar 21 arms salute
a fluke, some cut corners, borders, some forward
brace theyselves in race to break the brace on their leg like Forrest
flawless lest he nests in lawlessness
flick my last Philip Morris
Chuck Norris tourings in "Virgin Islands"
my bird in virgins
now deform as "Island"
It sounded wrong "no man's an island"
yet I am Pulau Tekong
this song's virus. the sinus to brown-nosed Vangoh-kindas
findin them short cuts up to keyboard members
shut em down. I'll Alt+F4 fools
Akira's before you
Ím just like an F5 key away
refresh like we can change
[Chorus - Drake]
[Verse 4 - Azrael]
Real name? Ril/ Rap flame? Grilled
Jack beats? Steal/ This beat? Kill
Bring heat? Will/ Take a seat, chill
Rap flow? Ill/ Your score? Nil
You may have all the bitches and the riches but get no respect
Every time I rhyme I'm rhymin like I'm makin my sickedest track
It really don't matter to me if my music don't ever get to the charts
But I'd be humbled to know that some of these words could end up in your heart
(in you heart) Before my soul and body depart (yeah)
I will play my part and hustle hard to hustle art
Try to look beyond the facade of every gimmick and every trend
See the game for what it really is and begin to fully comprehend
It really depends on how you Understand and how you Overstand
that nothin ever really ends yet nothin is forever, man
It's really on how you want it to be and where you really stand
Nothin last forever yet nothin ever really ends...
[Chorus - Drake]

Title: Run This Town (RMX)
Artists: Azrael Feat. Adrenalene & Bless
Lyrics: Azrael, Bless, Rihanna, Kanye West & Jay-Z
Beats: Jacked from "Run This Town (Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West)" by Jay-Z
Recorded & mixed by: The IZA @ The.XS Lab
[Intro - Adrenalene]
Feel it coming in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I’m addicted to thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
Can’t be scared when it goes down
Got a problem tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gon' run this town tonight?
Who's gon' run this town tonite?
We gon' run this town
[Verse 1 - Azrael]
We are/ yeah I said it/ We are
One Regiment/ so I'ma pledge my allegiance
Get my fatigues on/ All black anything
You can never see us coz we black out everything
As One La Familia so try to get familiar
Coz we under the radar with the mic paraphernalia
I stay simple but you feel the depth
You burn bridges while I bridge the gap
The element of elegance got no comparison
The iLLchemist and I'm mixin' up the medicine
The reverend/ so I'ma run coz I'm The Emcee
Explodin' mic bombs like T-N-T
[Chorus - Adrenalene]
Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules so I don't care
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight?
[Verse 2 - Azrael]
We rep the X and we runnin Singapura
Recitin every rap verse like a Sura
A symbolist so I don't really have a face
I just mark the emblem of X up in ya place
One day it's farewell to the game like "bye bye"
We hustle hard like it's straight do or die
Coz everything we do is straight D-I-Y
Notice how I always say "we" and not "I"
Whatever the outcome know that I try
And that's the reason why sometimes I cry
They keep askin' "Who runnin this town?"
But I won't answer that, just ask around...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3 - Bless]
We are/ Pardon me/ I am/ One man/
So I'ma pledge my allegiance to no man/
But one mic/ My stand/ Both feet/ On my land/
Go west/ For Kanye/ Down here/ I'm the man/
Old school/ New Gen/ November Child/
Da Pham/ 88, G.O.D, 65/ all fams/ SG/
Born and bred/ Red and white/ From the start/
And I'm XS/ Yeah, where it matters/ In the heart/
And X'sylum too/ Bedsty/ All the crews/ Spoken/
Unspoken too/ We're one whole/ Never two/
Me?/ Just "a lion" man/ Solitary/ No crew/
But change that to we/ Then that's a whole "Pride" to you/
See it's crazy to hustle on for no dough/
No returns, no prospect, that's no joke/
But we keep rocking on even if there's no hope/
Coz as long as it's Hiphop, man, we're not broke/
And that's the everyday scene here in Lion City/
Mass quantity with quality and low currency/
But OD'ed with passion/ Direction is flight/
For all here/ It's never for fun man/ It's for life/
Yeah it's Freakin' A and Jack B back to get down/
Grade A, local brand, emcees in foreign sound/
And they keep asking, "Who running this town?"
Well if they don't know bro/ Well they do now/
God Bless...

Click here for alternate download link
Title: Mic Wizardry
Artist: Decepticons
Written by: Azrael, Jay-One & DoggFace
Produced by: The IZA
Recorded and mixed by: The IZA @ The.XS Lab
Azrael the Rhyme Conjuror:
This is Mic Wizardry/The magic wand is my mic
and the mic is the source of my sorcery
Let this be the prophecy that will bring the harmony
Eradicate those who don't spit properly
Fuck a school of thought/This is street Hogwart's
The curriculum is spittin' raw verbs
Wingardium Leviosa/I levitate to another
higher plateau like I'm supposed ta
Coz I'm tired of watchin' these witches and bitches
think they fly when they just ride on broomsticks
And my style is too sick/The conjuror of magic music
Mix ingredients/Cook a new beat
Cast a rhyme spell/Spark a new heat
Yeah that's why I stay Magic like Orlando
This is the crescendo with an oracle flow
Chorus:
*Wingardium Leviosa*
We fly and levitate with the mic wizardry
Putcha magic mics up *Mic-Mic Wizardy*
Jay-One the Wizard of Bars:
Self-explanatory/wordplays is legendary
I'm the example/of what emphatically should be
Pack rhymes notoriously/like Notorious be
Flow so steady/mad skills is evidently
I'm so aggressively/I'm all hostility
I'ma burn u in a trice like obie/try me
I'm so extravagant see/show extravagancy
I spit it hardcore/mowf is so dangerously
You's a phoney/I rate you derogatory
They want me encore they denounce your category
Evidence my style is glory/yours be sorry
Burnin fake emcees/that comes in close proximity
(proximity)/rip mics intensively
Ain't nobody dope as me/so fresh so clinically
Rhymes in symmetry/You rush yours in urgency
I'm on the rampage/declare a state of emergency
(Chorus)
DoggFace the Verbal Sorcerer:
They call me the unorthodox coz I'm a maverick
Fuck David Blaine/Yes I am magic
Ya'll cats panic/yes ya'll cats now panic
I am not his-panic but I living La Vida Na Loca
Livin a crazy life yes/XS.One now for life
Now let's go back to the topic...What the fuck is a topic?
Yes I'm Robotnik/ Hedgehog not sonic/
I'm gon get/Yes bring the beats now we gon' kongkek
Talkin cock/Cockin talk but you cats are konek
Yes you cats can never now come and connect
Coz I'm/I'm a puzzle/Step into the puddle of water
Now you're bout to face death/I'm Deadpool
Cats wanna come and battle me then you must be dead, fool
Yes there's only one rule: There's no rule
(Chorus)

Title: Swagger Like X
Artists: Rauzan, Azrael, Chavito & The Ish
Beats: “Swagga Like Us (Feat. Kanye West & Lil’ Wayne)” by T.I. & Jay-Z
Recorded and mixed by: The IZA @ The.XS Lab
Rauzan:
Come see the reason why my mind so wide
Too much ace for my write you bite
Don’t have to swag in my rhymes you like
Coz I be the reason why your beats so tight
See this I do right/R U gon' hate?
Stick an A in the middle/RAU too gon' bake
Mouth full of cake when they pay for beats see
I’m the reason why the street's gon' deep
SGs gon' daze with the lyrics I brought you
Couch you/with the feelings I taught you
Don’t ever mess with the boys from the X
Have a sneak peak preview from the best of the best
*ReWrite*/Say it one more time/One more time
*ReWrite*/December 13th God damn I got you
Azrael:
No one on the corner got a swagger like us
But I keep my head low coz in God I trust
“No one on the corner,” says M.I.A.
But I stay relevant while you M.I.A
Coz I A-I-M every word I spray
And I am AZ-Rael all day
Jay don’t wear skinny jeans coz his nuts don’t fit
But at times I do rock it like a fresh Cool Kid
X for the X-traordinary/X-travagant
S for the style/the swag/and the substance
So fresh/stay true to the essence
The lyrics/The beats/The flow in abundance
We be the beez with the sting and the bisa
And make you lean like the Tower of Pisa
I don’t swag/I’ma just do me
And I’m still your favourite next door emcee
Chavito:
No one in any corner had a swag like Cha
Urm...Why the fuck I need a swagger like ya?
Matter of fact, I’ve been damn good so far
And all these girls thinks I’m just too fly
Like hahaha/I’m hypnotic bizarre
My rhymes going bizerk/Your styles would never work
So you just do what you do/Can't do like I do
Coz what I do is too cool
Simply said/I don't care what you do, period
Stay away/you smell bad like periods
Can’t correct me/your parents thinks you’sa mistake
Peace sign up/index down to you piss head
*Coughs* Excuse me
Your Verbally Ingenious Tenacious Orator
Chavitooo... *Laughs*
The Ish:
No one in the corner got a swagger like us
Swagger like me?/Ay swagger like..
Just...Just face it
You basic bitches can't do what I do on a daily basis
On the basis of the shit I come up with
It's fair to say that I'm crazy with this
No/ Crazy not in the sense I'm a lunatic
I may represent the X but I'm still a tick
Ay switch my mic on
By the time I put my Vans up
You mutherfuckers' got your hands up
It's I-S-H on some M.I.A. shit
Go ask around/Am I a Shit?
Am I a Shit?/Am I a Shit?
Bitch don’t answer that
Let me walk away wit my swag
I’m The Ish I’ma leave at that
And I don’t even need to rap (Take it back) *Burps*

Title: A Beautiful Mess (RMX)
Artist: Azrael
Lyrics by: Azrael / J.Mraz
Beats remixed by: The IZA
Contains samples jacked from “A Beautiful Mess” by Jason Mraz
If I could sing I would sing for you
But flow on a beat is what I can do
So I construe these words for you
To let you know that the feeling is true
I don’t want you to feel insecure
You’re physically perfect I see no flaw
And you are the one that I truly adore
My feelings are honestly true and pure
And from the start I‘ve been trying my best
But I really don’t know how long this would last
You’re a beautiful mess and I must confess
So I sampled it off from Jason Mraz
A beautiful mess? Let’s clean it up
Let’s do it together to build it up
Patience the virtue may not be yours
Well I guess it cannot be forced
Sometimes you turn your words into weapons
Killing me softly whenever that happens
I try to maintain but it’s really hard
And I really don’t want it to break apart
You’ve been the one that would me cry
But you are the one the could make me smile
You’ve been the one that could pull me down
But you are the one that would turn my frown
The arguments I really don’t want it to happen again
It’s not in my hands but I wish we could truly work on a plan
But no matter we still be the best of friends
Cherish the moments/ the good and the bad
The ups and downs/ the happy and sad
I’m lovin’ the fact that you’re smart and you’re witty
But never forget to be funny and silly
I may not convey you the sweetest words
But what I recite is unspoken word
If it’s untold doesn’t mean that it’s broken
At times the language of love is unspoken
It’s like I sampled true and put it on a loop
So it would repeat itself
Sample the heart it will never go wrong
Let’s loop this love like a sampled song
It’s like I sampled true and put it on a loop
So it would repeat itself
Sample the heart it will never go wrong
Let’s loop this love like a sampled song

Title: Put On (For Lion City)
Artists: Azrael & Bless
Lyrics: Azrael & Bless
Beats: Str8 jacked from "Put On (Feat. Kanye West)" by Young Jeezy
Recorded and mixed by: The IZA@The.XS Lab
Azrael:
I put on for my city/ like my city I'm a lion
As we go to the summit/ to the top of Mount Zion
See a little red dot/ but lyrically we are giants
You can call me Tony Starks/ I'm the man wit the iron
The cannon be proton/ Rappers is so obnoxious
We turn into colossus/ and breakin’ out of the boxes
Yes and I'm malay/ so I'm breakin' out of my kotak
We settin the line of defence if you haters attack like todak
Put the ashes in the urn/ Hiphop's paul bearer
I put on a flag fitted/ coz I be the flag bearer
I put on a black tee/ with an 'X' on my chest
I put on for my city/ full stop X-S
(Young Jeezy Chorus)
Bless:
Yeah it's like that/Azrael before a Blessing
Carrying on tradition/XS on rotation/
Today's style of diction/5 stars and a crescent/
Break jurisdiction/From NY to this island/
Listen/I'm spitting the unSung/iNilah Utama
Yang ku persembahkan cinta secara percuma/
Yeah/We don't make a millie/But we're down for the greasy/
Pertama kali/SG/Lion city/On the map i mark/
Embark/out the dark/SG Hiphop is like Kris One's heart/
And yes yo/We may contrast in skin colour/
But I put on for my city/And we'd die for this culture/
(Young Jeezy Chorus)
Azrael:
It's like a jungle out there and it's made on concrete
And the struggle out there yeah it's hard to compete
Whether you bustle 9 to 5 or hustle in the streets
So I juggle my life and rhymes and put words on the beats
We got a heart of an African king of the beast
See through the eyes of the striped beast from the east
We got a heart of the lion and the eye of the tiger
A rare hydrid specimen like the liger
Bless:
Yeah i put my headphones on
I put on/On my shoulders like my fam's first born
I put on/On the shores like the coming of dawn
I put on/On SG and my people is on
Yeah it's like this homie/XS on SG
like fuck ya'll cronies/Yeah we got this baby...
We flyin high...
Azrael:
Got fantasies of a playa/Mind of a backpacker
But I'm fan first so I don't need to be a rapper...
But I just happen to rhyme
So I put on for everybody that I knew in my lifetime...
(Young Jeezy Chorus)
