The opening anthem from How To Get Rich Vol. 3 (https://go.meaningwave.com/HowToGetRich3) gets a single release! This was the first track I recorded for the album, a joyful, sun-drenched superbop replete with strings and synths and scratches and some squiggly sfx, with Nivi, me, and a chopped-up Rakim on the chorus. The video drops next week and it’s got Patrick McGoohan in it…
The instrumental is on the B side, and speaking of which, the full instrumentals album, PRESENT 3: THE NAVAL INSTRUMENTALS drops next week. After which we venture into BRAND NEW SINGLE TERRITORY. THASSRIGHT! The weekly Meaningnukes keep on coming ALL YEAR LONG BABY!
LOVE! TO! YOU! AND! YOUR! FAMILY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Welcome to the quarter century mark. That sure went by fast. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas - THAt sure went by fast! And now here we are in the new calendar year.
My distributor informed me a few days before Christmas that they were shutting shop for a few weeks, so I’d not be able to get any new releases out until January 18th, which put a lil crimp in our NEW MUSIC EVERY FRIDAY schedule…And it occurred to me whilst under the barbell in the gym on New Years Eve, which is where all my best ideas occur to me, to make you a special mix for the New Year. So I did. And that mix is now live for you to enjoy.
GO!

Patrons and supporters on Patreon, Youtube, and now X can download the mix for free here.

MEANWHILE! I am taking the extra time I’ve been allotted to make what would have been this week's single extra beautiful. So it’s getting a gospel choir, which I always thought it deserved. And you’re gonna...
“I want you
To understand what it means
To lose your freedom…”
Ross Ulbricht (https://freeross.org/case-overview/) is currently serving two life sentences in a maximum security jail, where he’s been since 2013, for creating the world’s first online digital marketplace based around Bitcoin.
This is his story. Told in his own words, via phone-call from prison, transmuted into music.
Understand what it means - to lose your freedom.

I met Ross’ mother, Lyn, late last year, when I was in Miami to perform my Ayn Rand EP (https://go.meaningwave.com/ANTHEM) at the Atlas Society gala. The World renowned “Pimp On A Blimp” Alex Stein very sweetly invited me to a party being hosted by Tim Pool, where I had a lovely time and met a number of fascinating people, and late in the night I was introduced to Lyn. ...
“You can't pursue happiness
You could pursue a wild animal
You could pursue a ball
That's rolling downhill
You could pursue a car
You could pursue a dog
Because those are all real
But happiness you can't pursue
You could end up happy
But you can't pursue happiness
There are two things
You can pursue
That'll get you there…”

I sent it to Scott last week, and he replied straight away, “I love it! But I am biased.” Which is fair. I love it too, and I hope you do too. Hey look! Here’s the music video!
