Lil Crazed dropped a music video for his track “Living Lavish.” In the autobiographical, Lil Crazed thanks his family, friends, and my kids who helped him get to where he is today. Here’s more thoughts about the song from Lil Crazed:

This song is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever done because it is so personal to me. Everything in this song holds truth. If it weren’t for the people stated in this song along with many others, there would not be a Lil Crazed. I was fortunate to work with an artist by the name of Ramzo. (K.i.D Cypher Round 3, Ramzo Cypher) This video contains footage of myself in one of my hotel rooms and from the Kollaboration show in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

You can download “Living Lavish” FREE here. The song is also on Lil Crazed’s Chapter 2: Famine mixtape.

Lyrics to Living Lavish by Lil Crazed x Ramzo

~hook
i don’t need a lotta money to feel rich,
i’ve got me my family, friends, and my kids,
some people may call it average,
but to me, it’s a dream, i’m living lavish

~first off, let me go and start this verse off,
about slim, if not for him, i’d be nerf soft,
before jay, my cousin taught me to brush the dirt off,
now i pass haters riding radio waves, surf off,
and now I’m a happy daddy, yup that’s right,
must’ve sneezed 2 times becuz i was blessed twice,
Alijah and Isaac don’t you ever worry,
the only time I’ll be away is at the cemetery,
and i’m the eldest son, i should’ve taught the best route,
but Dee and Ant, no matter where you go, i’m still proud,
and Dee you granted mama a wish and made her real happy,
gave us Carlee, the first girl in the family,
and Ant, u love life and know the true meanin’,
God took u but gave u back, u here for a reason,
and Mom and Dad bustin’ their back for the family sake,
but soon i’ll bring in the dough, you just make the pancakes

~so then, my uncle Soben stayed by me,
a year later we created what is K.i.D.
and shouts to DT, Brent, and Chris Graham,
cuz we on a roll now and threw away the kickstand,
and benjamin, you kept my head high when i needed,
when i’m puzzled, you always reunite the pieces,
and Shook i can never beat you in video games,
but you taught me life can be one so be careful how i play,
throughout life i’ve met a lotta ride or die dudes,
Sunny P reppin’ K.i.D. more than I do,
and Win wouldn’t let no one step on my shoes,
nicknamed him Win cuz he can’t stand to see me lose,
and to my very first room mate, Brady,
thanks for treating the kids like they were also your babies,
i can’t thank ya’ll enough for the care and help
but if i ever make it, trust me, i’ma share the wealth

~now baby mama i know that we had a lotta drama
but honest we made two of the most beautiful kids on the
face of the planet, and we gotta face it, damn it,
sometimes can’t stand each other but we’re strong enough to keep standing,
and Trixx, ya mom was nearly best friends with my mother,
so its safe to say you’re like a brother from another,
and Phlip, remember how you and i go back?
all the way to that first track, i call that throwbacc
Skip, remember spittin me ya first back then?
a few years later online starting dance trends,
and Eazy you always was with me through my downest days
from when we were dead broke and now we’re paid
Teddy always ready to be the big body guard
even if a bouncer in our face, he’d knock somebody out,
and to my babygirl, I love you, i hope you know,
that through the thorns, we’re still as beautiful as a Rose

Last year, we saw the release of the Filipino anthem “Children of the Sun Remix by Deep Foundation“. This year, another Filipino anthem has dropped. The “My Island Remix” features Chariz, BarNone, Mike Dash E, Bambu, and Mike Swift. The movers and shakers in the Filipino hip hop movement come from up & down California and across to New York to do this remix.

Have you ever received a traffic ticket? NDTitanlady got a traffic ticket at one of those video camera intersections. She shares her experience doing the “California Roll” and getting a $500+ ticket. With technology these days, not only do you get a pictures of you “committing the crime” in the mail, but you also get a video of yourself doing the “illegal action.” You can relive the experience in the comfort of your own home. With the ticket, NDTitanlady decided to take online traffic school. Some of the questions in online traffic school are ridiculous. NDTitanlady reenacts some of these questions. If you’ve ever had these experiences, you’ll get a kick out of the video.

May the Traffic Gods be with you this Labor Day weekend.
