♫♪  MondreM.A.N. - “Ancient Times”

My pal Tiger Stripe sent this down Choco Lane, and I figured I’d hop on it because — outside of MondreM.A.N. being one-half of Main Main Attrakionz — the lyrics are super modest and deserved. Not like he’s just flipping out lyrics, but he invites people to join him in being human, which to me (sadly) presents an “Ancient Times” type of attitude. Produced by Al Jieh of SWTBRDS, MondreM.A.N. professionals out the kindest lyrics while a soft beat floats atop this vocals while something is roaring and/or breathing about it. “Ancient Times” is super intricate both in terms of production and lyrics intertwining and that’s something I can fuck on. And it’s not direct enough to clout my mind, either: double-edged smile.

Oh, but word, my pal sent “Ancient Times” to me because a pal of his, Tim Jieh directed the video. In it, we watch lush museum and street filming of MondreM.A.N. and [girl] walking around in focused slow motion — wait, he’s still in some cave too. Just picture this video like Night at the Museum by-way of smoking ALL the drugs, hiding within the penguin hut until closing time, and then hallucinating interactions with each era of “Ancient Times” as the exhibits are ordered. Nobody is coming. Enjoy!

MondreM.A.N.’s debut album THEY SAY I STRUGGLE RAP is out right now via SWTBRDS, scope the single/video “Ancient Times” below:
