- Lyric -
Lo Memang Gempak
Dari Luaran Orang Nampak
Pabila Lo Sorang Hanya Borak
Datang Berkumpul Pun Masih Borak
Lihat Bagaimana Lo Dicorak
Tetap Buruk Walau Pakai Baju Mahal Yang Ada Banyak Corak
Kata Nak Berjaya Kena Mula Dari Bawah
Apa Makna Susah Kalau Dana Dari Ayah
Hidup Kena Tabah Harus Siap Siaga
Jalan Paling Mudah Tengok Bapak Lo Siapa
Lo Memang Gempak
Cuma Luaran Orang Nampak
Pendapat Lo Sampah Patut Kena Gelak
Kawan-Kawan Lo Je Tebal Muka Datang Back Up
Kau Ingat Kau Gempak
Sepandai-Pandai Tupai
Akhirnya Jatuh, Padan Muka
Pada Pengampu Para Kleptokrat
Masih Ada Yang Bagi Muka
Jadi Macam Jamal Buang Terus Sifat Malu
Buntu Cari Jalan Buat Pusingan-U
Kena Pusing Dengan Lo, Lagi Pening Dapat Restu Tuan Baru
Makin Ramai Jadi Anjing
Mimpi-Mimpi Basah Tapi Katil Bau Hancing
Mana Janji-Janji Indah
Tinggal Lenjun Kena Kencing
Lo Memang Gempak
Itu Luarang Yang Orang Nampak
Pendapat Lo Sampah Memang Kena Gelak
Ada Kawan Ramai Pun Semua Terus Senyap!
Kau Ingat Kau Gempak
Kau Ingat Ni
Tuhan Lagi Gempak
Bersalut Keringat Di Dada
Tika Lantang Bersuara
Dipukau Ceritera Dusta
Hingga Natijah Menimpa
Disambar Pelangi
Rona Yang Mencarik-Carik
Hati Yang Telah Mati
Dipukau Ilusi Ngeri
Ilusi Ngeri
Dijerut Bahana Melulu
Hingga Matanya Membisu
Terpana Sesaat Dipalu
Onar Yang Berarak Laju
Disambar Si Petir
Aura Yang Menari-Nari
Hinggalah Berakhir
Pukauan Imaginasi
Mimpi Yang Ngeri
Dipertemukan Tuhan
Kau Tak Mampu Lagi Bertahan
Dengan Segala Rancangan
Yang Kau Tak Mampu Nak Langsaikan
Hujahnya Disusunsuaikan
Hingga Tak Mampu Dileraikan
Dengan Darah Yang Berlumuran
Bibirmu Yang Dibanjiri Tohmahan
Balapan
Pusing Saja Tak Kemana Kekallah Dalam Durjana
Ketangkasan, Jauh Mana Lagi Belantara Yang Sanggup Kau Cemarkan Sirnanya
Walaupun Seusai Tapaknya Dibina
Langsung Langsai Dihancurkan Hingga
Zarah Azali Yang Mengalir Dalam Darah Dan Air Diusir Hingga Bertakbir
Takbir Terakhir Sebelum Waktu Mutakhir Tiba
Untuk Menarik Jasad Ke Bumi Dan Roh Ke Langit Tertinggi Jua
Tapi Pastikah Kau Bukan Neraka Yang Memanggil?
Pastikah Kau Bahawa Bukan Neraka Jahanam Yang Memanggil?
Permata Bertentang Mata
Bilah Yang Menghunus Luka
Membara Dijirus Suara
Terpekik Meronta-Ronta
Meminta Dilepaskan Genggaman Dari Pukauan
Yang Mendambakan Minda Berkeliaran Tanpa Tujuan
Aku bunga hitam mekar atas pohon sakti,
Genggaman akar ku utuh beri ribut takkan mati,
Aku bunga hitam,
Dari kisah silam,
Deretan dari seretan yang menjadikan ku syaitan yang bertauhidkan kebenaran,
Dalam kesilapan,
Dan daripada kesilapan,
Kita temui kebenaran,
Dosa datang dulu,
Berlayar dalam bengis,
Pahala pun akhirnya tersemat kemas dalam tangis.
Mereka tanya Hades apa barang?
Dulu sekutu sama mereka sekarang tinggal seorang,
Tak akan tinggal seorang,
Bila aku dalam aku- senantiasa dalam perang.
Kesantunan dalam lantunan kata kata,
Yang disusun rapi komposisi puisi balada,
Berpada padalah dengan muslihat mayapada,
Jika semua mahu ego maka siapa mahu sedar
Sedar dalam kegelapan
Tidur dalam keterangan
Jelas kena dibutakan
Kabur kena dicelikkan

- About Future Mouth -
Shazet Sounds Presents, "Future Mouth", Malaysia's First Beatbox Album Ever in History. This album was produced and recorded without exception using only vocals and beatbox.
After I became the National Beatbox Champion in my home country and overseas in various competitions, I started to produce this album since 2011, it was under a named, "Flow & Styles", I had 8 tracks at that time using Korg Kaosspad 3, I released it under a name, "FNS Raw EP", then later I removed it. The sounds sounded so raw and it was unmixed neither mastered.
Somewhat in 2012, I wanted to produce a conceptual beatbox EP about cyberpunk, robots, technology, alien and so on, I named it Future Mouth EP which contains 4 tracks, it is very futuristic sounding using beatbox. Again, I wanted to release it but my mixing and mastering skills wasn't up to my standard at that time. I produced more tracks over hundreds of tracks, also in the meantime, I managed to learn new sounds and adapt new skills and patterns in new generation of beatboxing.
So I moved on, later in the same year 2012, I started to produce more non-beatbox sound design and non-beatbox instrumentals, under alias of, "Xzet Sicknal". From there I studied and understood about sound designing, balancing, leveling, recording and compression. While adapting to different environment of sounds, I applied the same techniques when I did beatbox recordings. I tried different loop machines, mixers, microphones, cassette tape recorder and DAWs. While doing so, I recorded ideas, sketched and save it in my archive.
Beatboxing tracks are really hard to mix because according to my standard I wanted myself to be very upfront similar to a drummer or a turntablist but still human. I did trial and error, I recorded and performed live with my beatbox set-up. It took me quite sometimes to master the sound mixing techniques. Compare to a drummer, sound technician will mic'd up the drum kit with various microphones sometimes over 20+ mics for a drum kit. As a beatboxer I only have one mouth, one source of sound coming out from it and one microphone. With long study and experiments, in 2014, I finally obtained the standard that I need to perform live and recordings.
Once I had that sound, I began to rerecord all my ideas and sketches and turn it into masterpiece. However, I ended up choosing the best 11 tracks to represent this album. I made this album by following the concept of Future Mouth EP, I removed the "EP" and I continued to make it futuristic-cyberpunk-yet-human. I wanted this album to sound dark, aggressive, in-your-face, dirty, yet-hopeful and uplifting. I also to refered to some acapella and nasheed groups but usually acapella groups are very cheerful and happy. I wanted it to be dark. What usually inspired me are dark-epic-orchestra music, often they had choir singing in darkest tones. So I stepped my game as a beatboxer, I made myself similar as a producer or a DJ in the music industry. I wanted to produce this album that no one ever produce like it before, in term of sounds and energy. I also wanted to shine that beatboxers are no longer gimmicks or side characters, I want beatboxers to be the main characters, I treated beatboxers in this album as EDM producers collaborating with another EDM producers or big artists. I have lots of inspirations from underground hip-hop to metal to epic orchestra to neurofunk to grime. Sometimes even from films' sound design to keep me going.
Originally I intended to release an EP before releasing this album under the same name. But, it took too much time and work, why? Because from now on I want every time I release a product, it must be the best one I ever produced from artworks to sounds to concepts.
I have to face many struggles to produce this album, from travelling, move in and out, depression, sickness, misunderstood, costing, skills, time and choosing the best tracks. Alhamdulillah, Allah gave me strength, capacity, talents, ideas and mental health to complete this. The main thing I could smile. In some tracks in this album, you may hear me feeling sad, angry and depressed. I poured my heart and soul into this album. I made this album as a present of myself, because 28th September is my birthday, one of the main reason I wanted to release it on this date.
I really hope you as my listener, do purchase this album as to support me and my career. Do share it with your family and friends. It worth the experience and the journey. Do understand each track, the best is to listen track-by-track from 1 till 11. Do listen with loudspeaker, good hi-fi sound system and headphones with sub support. Last and not least do record yourself listening to this, I want to see your reactions!
Enjoy your stay and thank you, xoxo!
