EYEiii by COLAMP

EYEiii is COLAMP’s take on the classic hip-hop tropes of being proud of who you are, and flossing what you’ve attained. When Nathan first heard the beat, he knew it had a special, positive energy, wild timing and presented an opportunity to explore new styles of delivery and song structure. The “gotta have it all” sample quickly became his guide. If he could truly have it all, and be genuinely happy, what would that look like? When the song was made, Nathan was actually at KDT’s studio to record another track off TAPE. With only 20 minutes left in the session, KDT said “yo just record EYEiii too real quick, for fun.” Nathan told him it wasn’t ready yet, with only a few bars penned and only bits and pieces of old poems and floating thoughts to cobble, but KDT pressed, so he got on the mic and ripped regardless. One take later, it was done. Adapting to the samples, concepts and shifts in intensity and tempo, all in real time, he had no attachment to some perfect outcome. Joking about it after, maybe not giving a shit is the ultimate formula for perfection. Either way, everything Nathan ever wanted for himself, and for you, is captured in EYEiii, just go get it.
