Just a little something to encourage you to know your worth.
Lyrics What are we fighting for, we push the culture forward by outreaching a hand and moving closer toward the unity, that frightens the, powers that be that powerful we, that towers over the trees Recognize the forest in front of me, run Life is like a box of…that bass hum It hits you hard in your chest and screws your face up whether smiles or a mean mug, a chalice or a teacup Grill back at it, ‘cause you’ve got no choice but kill that static, ’cause you’ve got yo voice Make them hear you roar, till your lungs get sore, mane and feel you more, that’s what you’re put here for, reign The pattern of pawns and peons is not couture It’s not the jawns to be on, so whatchu wearing it for? Don’t let them put that brand on you, the brand’s not you and neither is that floor, so why don’t you stand up too?

The NYC-based world traveling emcee, Timid, connects with underground rap legend Q-Unique (of the Arsonists) for a lyrically rich, conversation-starting new single, “Who’s To Blame,” bolstered by Skammadix’s strings-heavy production.
Those who have heard Timid’s previous work, including this year’s great “I Love You” single, already know how the New Yorker can get busy on the mic. Whereas that track was definitely more romantic and personal, “Who’s To Blame” is a call for answers and for people to actually admit when they’re wrong without pointing fingers elsewhere.
On Q-Unique’s verse, he details a number of well-known excuses, from music’s influence to parental abuse, given by folks who may be unable to shoulder blame for their own actions. While Timid follows that same lead, he flips the script a bit by rapping like he’s looking someone dead in the eye with lines like, “Or maybe you truly think/ That you’re more deservin’/ And others less worthy/ Which is actually more disturbing.”
“Who’s to Blame” is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms!

Timid says those three not so little words; “i love you”
From LL Cool J rapping “I Need Love” to Method Man telling Mary J. Blige “You’re All I Need” to Common displaying his feelings via word cards on “Come Close”, lyrically eloquent professions of love have attempted to describe the depth of that feeling to the muse that inspired them. Timid’s new release is simply titled with the most wanted to hear phrase in any language; “i love you”. The lyrics vocalize the feeling one has when they are in love and the title is stylized in lowercase to represent a simplistic innocence of that love.
Timid “i love you” is produced by Taz of Onmugen and is available now on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-love-you-single/id1207110562) and Bandcamp (https://timid.bandcamp.com/track/i-love-you) with other digital outlets coming soon – plus a crowd sourced music video in the works.
Lyric Excerpt Timid You’re that perfect verse over a tight drum and a snare like Dre said to Syd…you’re my air happiness is ever fleeting but with you I dare never sleeping on our life I handle with special care we can be that pair that others are sick of when they try to keep up with us they give up we are that harmony to that beat called love in public in the street we might cut a rug
