Sadistik Zodiac

For those unfamiliar with Sadistik, who has been actively penning new music for over a decade, his preferred style can feel somewhat unconventional; literary in nature, heavily inspired by the genres of horror and science fiction. And while his imagery can feel dark in nature, there’s a poetic sensibility to his writing that leaps off the page. As such, he’s become a darling of the underground circuit, building a fanbase that has remained loyal no matter which direction his music veers.

Today, the rapper has connected with another high caliber writer — Mick Jenkins, one of the game’s current top five in the art of penmanship. An unexpected but welcome duet, “Zodiac” takes place over laid-back guitar instrumental, with Sadistik setting things off with a melancholic reflection. “Aspirations aspirate, compliments are aspartame,” he raps, his alliteration on point. “Tears feel like they’re acid rain, always been a castaway.” Mick Jenkins matches his stride with a verse of his own, his intensity muted but no less potent. “In hindsight was just getting by
til I was 25, I’m coming live, he declares. “Oh did I mention I beat statistics? Made the fire with the friction / m y diction sophisticated no fiction has been recited.”

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sadistik]
Pretty little zodiac
Tell me are you listening?
Why don’t you say hello back
When the ghosts are visiting?
Living in the sediment
Scribbling my sentimental
Mental into wet cement
Everything I said I meant
Not living in the present
Skies become so heavy
I feel like a piñata when it’s empty
I’ll fill another bottle I’m a MD
20/20 hindsight
In a place that’s full of people I don’t quite like, ayy
Looking out the glass again
Aspirations aspirate
Compliments are aspartame
Tears feel like they’re acid rain
Always been a castaway
Don’t save me I’m just trash today
I’m refuse
Usually you’re bruised when you get used to feeling used
All these ups and downs I learned to ride the waves
Most the nightmares are when I’m wide awake
I don’t wanna go don’t let me die today
If it makes me numb I’ll take the side effects

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]
If it makes me numb I’ll take the side effects
If it makes me…
If it gets me pissed off puff smoke
So much talking out the neck nigga we cut-throat now
Not what you would expect
Fuck your assuming we just added the seasonings
Told ’em hoe don’t be cumin when the thyme right
Lime-light in my eye I don’t need that
Cash when I require best believe that
In hindsight was just getting by
‘Til I was 25 I’m coming live
Oh did I mention I beat statistics?
Made the fire with the friction
My diction sophisticated no fiction has been recited
The credit for a belated, shit is Kris Kross
No jokes the politicking make my dick soft put it in quotes now
Fuck up out your respect
See how I’m moving niggas low-key
It’s hard to stay quiet with the OG on me
Only a couple niggas I call homies these days
Said some prayers that got the phonies erased
If we ain’t FaceTiming then you ain’t really know me these days
Not too much talking do my growing silent
