Stoner Pimpson - Damaged Goods (EP)

Stoner Pimpson, now that's a rap name for you & his music personifies that. It's chill, and the bars are very much there that teach lessons from personal experience with some witty braggadocio sprinkled in there. He's back to add some more to the mix; he's still the "Visionary," he told you about earlier this year, but he's also "Damaged Goods" though not broken altogether.

On "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," he calmly details things he hasn't quite yet let go of that has affected his psyche and wants to move past it. Throughout the record, the lyrics let you know what he's a product of, "I don't have life insurance, that's a gun for me." He knows that's not normal, but it's genuinely all he knows, especially when he tackles his many addictions on "Enabler," spending too much time invested in money, bitches & drugs to ask God to pray for him. It's almost like a struggle in himself, a tug of war between his better angels & worldly desires; at least he recognizes the people around him may be enabling these behaviors; hopefully, he does something about it.

All in all, it's a slow-burning testimonial, an ode to his better angel & the demons he's constantly trying to fend off. With feverishly introspective verses throughout with many stand outlines within those verses & the production is elating & subdued, the perfect bed for him to remove the blanket off reveals all that's troubling his mind.
