The He Did EP

French fries and ice cream I know you won't forget it Now let me see the hands of the people who's with it It won't be long before my new sensation Is rocking party people chilling all across the nation So step up to the podium with sugar and sodium They go so well together like children and Nickelodeon I'm blowing like the breeze and because I'm in season I guess that I'm blessed like as if I was sneezing So give me one reason why you won't buy me A cool vanilla shake and a plate of golden fries Or a mint chocolate chip cone with eyes made of sugar Wipe a booger on your tombstone while listening to Group Home From New York, New York to Paris, France When I'm stage I like to take off my pants That's how you know that it's a real hype show And the next thing you know there goes my ego Americans use ketchup the French use mayo Me versus another emcee it's a KO I like my fries hot I spike them with Tabasco So I can keep bringing fools heat like Rasco The capital rapital C double O L Z You ought to know well that my name is misspelled Until you add the E Y Come on don't be shy I'm just a guy without a suit or a tie So pry open the coffin lid Yo check the skeleton kid Now tell me was his skin black or white It's hard to tell ain't it I can see you straining Give it up because it doesn't matter if you're wrong or right You missed the point again I smoked a joint again and jumped into the ocean as I said 'Goodnight' You're just a mannequin You act like Anakin But give it up because I know you're going to lose the fight It goes french fries and ice cream the name of this jam It probably won't be long before you know who I am But I don't give a damn I just keep playing Like your favorite song until my last day and I'm swaying to the music because that's what I do I'm true to this shit because I love my crew One day you will know that they are the shit But for now just listen to my hit It goes french fries and ice cream my two best things Me up with them and I swear I'll grow wings When the telephone rings I always try and answer I hope that the grease doesn't give me colon cancer On Dancer on Prancer on Donner and Blitzen Fuck Reagan fuck Clinton fuck Bush and Nixon I'm fixing to get wisdom because that's how I kick it Now everybody grab your ice cream cones and lick it

He Did 04:56 video
In the back with a smile and a rap with the style Got that good feeling hope it lasts for a while Coolzey Backwoods Def3 Black and Mild Smoke fills up the room You be lacking style Groupies acting wild because they want a soap opera Go with your fantasy girl I won't stop you You could have the drama and I could have the marijuana In a sauna with Donna and Tanya That's right I'm tightening up the loose screws In the rap game it's a shame no more Juice Crews Just a bunch of whoopty whoop goofy fruit loop dudes Taking off your shirt when other dudes have to look at you Wait up do you really shave your chest hair B And do you really think your screwed up face is going to scare me I'll probably just chuckle Right before I slam your ugly grill into a turnbuckle I killed Jekyll so now there's no place to Hyde Best stay inside or get sprayed with insecticide So who's next to die an untimely death Take your last breath step up to the mic and make your little mess Then watch me clean it up heat it up eat it up Just like a scrambled egg I'm going to beat it up Tee it up drive it home just like a chauffeur Back in the days I used to wear the penny loafers Aqua Socks big Bermuda shorts and charm bracelets Now I make hits in apartments and basements Smoke blunts poke stunts and dabble in the magical realm of rap I'm just trying to give back the joy that was given to me in my youth And throughout my whole life Because this music save my fucking life So why would I ever disrespect it neglect it Yo Fed Up load it up and kill the fucking record I'm here to do the opposite of what I'm told Pick up a brick and turn that shit in to gold Hold my head high and laugh at the sky Get mad and cry maybe get sad and die This battle cry is mighty like a mantra While most motherfuckers shady like Iran Contra My rhymes haunt you taunt you tease you Burn you freeze you give you amnesia I could get busy in a bedroom or venue Grapple with a grizzly bear spicing up the menu Coolzey does tricks no other emcee can do Like hand you the microphone jump off of the speakers and then do Five backflips in slow-mo over the crowd While playing my guitar with the amp turned loud All the while I'm free-styling and leaving a trail of swirling colors Then I disappear into a portal leaving a small hazy cloud Which dissipates and mingles with the cigarette smoke in the bar And there you fucking are Faced with your mediocre life thus far But then you look up and you see that the jar Has holes that are just big enough to crawl out of The light was shining through but you thought it was a star And now you know that it's the way to go So you're climbing up the side to the hole Poke your body through and leave the fake people back in hell Until it's time to go back and tell The tales that god told you to say because you're a prophet now

Mentality 04:55
Hold the phone Coming out the dial tone of the everyday rap Is a musical milestone So why settle for less when the best is coming at you Side-stepping through the mess So raise your hands if you're tired of egotistical coke-heads The jokes dead Hooray for the mystical madman Studying books and taking notes on a legal pad Crooks get the decoy I enjoy making them mad like shaking up an ant farm I inject intellect into a fans arm I inflict X amount of damage and I manage To ravage rhyme books and cut them up like cabbage I don't play video games or waste time I like to make beats meditate motivate and write rhymes Five times a day I get disgusted By a mediocre rapper that couldn't cut the mustard To be brief the booty rhymes that you busted If they was a bike they would be in the creek rusted Missing a wheel what's the deal Where's your motivation You want money and fame It's just a game Take women for instance The minute that you stop sweating them man you'll be getting them But I'm not letting them get into my head I just put them in the bed and then I proceed to petting them Beats I'm setting them up for target practice Like bottles on the fence get the twenty-two and blast it Smashing the glass It's the last rap classic I'm lost in America The area's massive and jam packed with bastards blocking up my path Makes me go grab the twenty-two of MIller then max Program the tracks Put the pen to the paper No time for love Dr. Jones I'm sifting through stacks This is my secret technique This is my secret technique This is my secret technique Because I always speak with mentality This is my secret technique This is my secret technique This is my secret technique Because I always speak with mentality Yo it's the classical gas I got another hall pass I rocked a house party then I got a little ass I took out the trash because my house smelled I clang an emcee's head like a motherfucking cowbell Now telling stories and drinking forties in the dark In summertime you see my ass running through the park Falling in the creek with my clothes on Crawling back home to get my motherfucking flows on You see that? It just goes on and on like life So quit trying to hold on to the side of my boat as I float past No you can't have my change Im trying to feed my own ass and you know that so why are you asking I'm just kicking back and trying to be relaxing Because life is taxing and so is the government But you know I had to keep my fans loving it I'm straight rubbing it up in the faces And I'm not fucking scared of no gun either Handling my business like a man hand to hand But I'm not trying to start any beef until an MC Feels the need to show me that his fucking head is empty And I'm not trying to be paranoid But I plan to make riches so I must avoid the Noid Trying to take the cheese off my pizza pie If hip hop came from the streets well that's fine But now it comes out of my mouth And that of others with like minds You search for us then you might find The key to be free is to want it Let me tell you a secret Your house is haunted and the ghost is you So what am I supposed to do Search for a posse of the chosen few Or just hold my brew a little tighter Fuck the either or man I'm a lover and a fighter party igniter rap-rhyme exciter Dropping rhyme rations from a hang-glider Even when I'm sloppy drunk my rhymes sound tighter Dropping science like a hot potato Ore-Ida The easy rider might pull an all-nighter Checking my web for MCs like a spider This is my secret technique This is my secret technique This is my secret technique Because I always speak with mentality This is my secret technique This is my secret technique This is my secret technique Because I always speak with mentality

It's like that on the front porch Blazing a torch drinking a nightcap Might rap might pick up the axe and start thrashing and noodling Either way you know it sounds fat Stomp clap kick a hi hat or a cowbell With a green thumb and a brown belt Down until the end of my days I got stability Given to me by the trees and the dirt Three years ago on New Years Day I ate a mushroom then walked into the woods The trees told me something and to this day Coolzey is absolutey up to no good I've been learning a lot about the way of the world I got them squirming a lot because the weight that I curl Is steady growing exponentially Not to mention we are buying up property Land Because we ought to be breaking up monopolies yo Let the horns blow Remember when we used to hide the sauce in the corn rows One block away from the treehouse that we built With our own hand because that's what our fathers did Four generations deep where we live And spent the whole time steady digging in the dirt And what did they accomplish Handling biz and raising the kids that is here to save the Earth And that's word Busting through the silence is the sound that you heard Bang Like a bullet from a gun yeah we got guns Shotguns military ARs and glocks son No need to talk about it no need to boast I'd like to send a shot out to my people on the coast Bang For the haters and a pound for the clowns who's down To get dirty with the green and the brown So grab me a beer somebody get Will a whiskey Because the jam is so fresh yes my eyes are getting misty The bacon's getting crispy and the coffee's been on for an hour Get your ass up get in the shower Because we got work to do and that's cool That's what I'm here for There ain't nobody around here to shed a tear for Except for the natives that capitalism slaughtered Time to take it back Community trees dirt and water Everywhere that we go We got the heartland with us the world can't get us Everywhere that we go We got trees and dirt emcees get hurt Everywhere that we go Come and try and take the land where our family stands man Everywhere that we go We got trees and dirt emcees get hurt Everywhere that we go We got the heartland with us the world can't get us Everywhere that we go We got trees and dirt emcees get hurt Everywhere that we go Come and try and take the land where our family stands man Everywhere that we go We got trees and dirt emcees get hurt I see the sun coming up Over that Eastern horizon Such a glorious sight for these weary eyes After a long dark lonely night I'll put that dirt on a biscuit I'll put that dirt in my tea And when they fill that grave on the hill They'll put that black Iowa dirt over me There's only one way to find out where he keeps his hide out Saddled up the horse time to ride out it was night out Pass the tobacco took a bite out Would it be a home run base hit line ground or fly out Took a time out busted an old rhyme out His horse pawed the ground he took tequila and a lime out Belted one back chewed the fruit and felt the bite sting Dug his spurs in and aimed his nag toward the fight ring And on his way he pick up some compadres Whitmore the Strangler Angle and Doc Dawn Dre To name a few posse was huge a whole lot of dudes Whole crew do it death eat a lot of food Shot a dude in Reno just to watch his head spin Bite a deer's heart and look at you with a red grin Coming to the table with a napkin tucked in To his front collar because he heard the cook holler And ring the triangle like come and get it Did you take care of business he said don't sweat it The way he said it you just know he got deaded Probably hurt bad shot stabbed or beheaded Now it's time to celebrate the village has a hog roast Raise up your cups and listen up for the long toast Yeah another victory we see through the trickery and mystery And misery gets smoked like hickory Everywhere that we go We got the heartland with us the world can't get us Everywhere that we go We got trees and dirt emcees get hurt Everywhere that we go Come and try and take the land where our family stands man Everywhere that we go We got trees and dirt emcees get hurt Everywhere that we go We got the heartland with us the world can't get us Everywhere that we go We got trees and dirt emcees get hurt Everywhere that we go Come and try and take the land where our family stands man Everywhere that we go We got trees and dirt emcees get hurt

about

Hip Hop Connection
March, 2007
Single of the Month
“Though aligned with a clutch of backpack rappers and indie rockers, Des Moines farm kid Coolzey grabs the scratches/intelligent sideward lyricism steez by the lapels with a little more straightforwardness. Crucially, he also tolerates nothing below massively fun production. The first sign of potential greatness is the clarity within 'Mentality'; after professing daily disgust for mediocre rappers he drops the gem of advice "Take women fro instance: the minute that you stop sweatin' 'em/Man, you'll be gettin' 'em". For those not built like Fif', this man speaks the truth. Throw in help from cool-as-whisky-slugging bluegrass dude William Elliott Whitmore on the atmospheric epic "Trees and Dirt" and you're suddenly rolling so lovely.”

The He Did EP is the first in a series of EPs by Coolzey released at the beginning of 2007. The beat production on the album was entirely by Coolzey, and some of the scratches. The rest of the turntablism was handled by DJ Fedup. Guest appearances include Animosity on Funny Rappaz, and William Elliott Whitmore on Trees and Dirt. Recorded and mastered in Iowa City @ Tucker Burnes Recording. The art was by Gary Feingold. This album represents the birth and adolescent life of the first trilogy of Coolzey EPs.

about

Coolzey Fairfield, Iowa

Golden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt are the foundation. Growth tempered by alternative era rock influence. This along with a love for the juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world allow for a wide, unpredictable arsenal ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop. ... more
