about

Nigerian emcee Mista Books and Producer/DJ Teck-Zilla kick off 2021 with the soulful, celebratory single titled "Try Angles." The track sees Books in his lyrical element as he basks in the soothing nostalgic backdrop provided by Teck-Zilla with an undeniable swagger. He displays his elite tastes with lines like "International swagger Mista Books aka/Valentino call me the Liberace/Quick to snap off shots like paparazzi" while emphasizing his black heritage at every turn. From chilling in his home town of Cross River (Eastern Nigeria) to bumping Fela Kuti tracks while inhaling the herb to drain the sorrows away, Mista Books give a glimpse of his lifestyle for those who ain't familiar with him.
"Try Angles" is the lead single from emcee Mista Books and Producer/DJ Teck-Zilla's forthcoming collaborative project The Harder The Better. Scheduled for a Feb 11 release date.

lyrics

TRY-ANGLES
[Verse1 :Mista Books]
Supreme creature, African elegance
Let it stick ya memory like an elephant
The futuristic poet oh you didn't know yet
I Celebrate myself n pop a moet
Beautiful dimes taking panties off
Just to git a gift from Santa Claus, better pause
Take a trip down to cross river
Bumping Tony Allen n Fela Kuti puffing hard reefer
Less concerned about political anomalies
Better yet more concerned with marijuana
Leaves
Getting jiggy with it, Flexible with it
Fiddling musical notes attracting spirits.
Talk is cheap when the action is weak
Kinna look different, but the fashion is deep
Custom made rhyming, tailor aligning
Orchestrated tap-estry beautiful designing

[Verse 2]
Never roll with chumps, i was raised by couple of OGs
Who told me to keep it low key
Its documented i passed thru Higher learning
With Mic flames, I keeps the fire burning
International swagger Mista Books aka
Valentino call me the Liberace
Quick to snap off shots like paparazzi
Or rather telling a Jew to slap a Nazi
My ill thoughts like sledgehammers hittin on concrete
High beams, I'm foreseen killing the conflict
This a movement, exodus, keep moving Shall I proceed? Yes indeed! !!!
Don't be a target desecrating the market
Coming up with that fake shit naaaa you best park it
The books open, the truth spoken
The booth smoking, forgit it, the news broken
