MUSIC FROM THA SOUL
Those unfamiliar with the name, Dallas Owen could possibly be the best kept secret, and sadly, most slept on rap artist in Australia. Against the norm, the style you can expect to hear is a more conscious,spoken word style of hip hop. Being categorized is not a thing he is very fond of...Due to an awkwardness and a hesitation felt when it comes to introducing himself to anybody as a ''Rapper'' - The term ''Poet'' for him personally, feels more comfortable. Based on the fact that everybody is a rapper nowadays, and in comparison to majority, they fall short, where he excels when it comes to heartfelt from the soul, honest lyrics and poetic substance. So with that said, dont expect juvenile minded egotistical content, if anything, prepare perhaps, for what may be thoughts and feelings you hadnt found the words for. Simply put, Dallas is an honest artist not afraid to be completely naked and exposed in his own music. That may make him an easy target as nothing is hidden, however, that battle rap idea is of no interest. And for him, that mentality is considered a waste of time and energy when there is music with meaning to be created despite he feels there is a lack of demand for it in today's industry. Dallas is about making music people can relate to. He really isn't phased with the whole tryna be the baddest in the game, Couldnt care bout status and all that... Just wants some respect & appreciation, And mainly acknowledgement for droppin' true content. Judge for yourself,D pours soul into every rhyme.Lyrics that are perfect for any Hip Hop lover who is more into the deeper content. Add me on Facebook Despite the mood of this album being majority somber,each track still has its own personality.Topics such as, single mother struggle,acceptance,depression,gratefulness of life are all covered.This is an album,despite being classified as spoken word hip hop, it can still talk to fans of any genre, any age and any walk of life. The honesty may leave me very exposed,but music is where i am truely naked. Your contributuion will only mean more productions in the future

Lyrics
Hook...( Timothy ) No More negativity// I was blind but now i see// I was down, down n out// But now i live a better life// No More negativity// I was strugglin but now im free// I was down, down n out// But now i live a better life// Verse 1...( Dallas ) Im tryna put an end to talkin all tha negativity// So insteada cemetary or tha penetentary// I got my surf board and im headed to tha sea// To camp on a beach man as if i'll never leave// But, positive minstates are hard to posess// When ya got a sub zero , heart in ya chest// I know i shouldnt dwell coz im really livin well// When u compare to others that are sittin in a cell// But im still..stressin becoz im agein// Even though older peeps say im still a baby// Oh yeah. its crazy,and whats amazing// Is how quickly tha days of my life are fading// Never tha less though i gotta look ahead// Focus on tha future and put tha past to bed// Coz i aint , dead yet and still got a lot to give// Plus im here , right now yo so i just wanna live// Hook...( Timothy ) No More negativity// I was blind but now i see// I was down, down n out// But now i live a better life// No More negativity// I was strugglin but now im free// I was down, down n out// But now i live a better life// Verse 2...( Dallas ) I gone from sleepless nights,and a depressed life// To no longer keepin my deepest secrets tight// Speakin like i been reached by jesus christ// Without bein sneaky like a thief at night// And tha weepinz ceased so no more leakin eyes// I been deprived of a decent size// Piece of pie but now im eatin right// Wh-ile standin tall like seventeen feet high// I been this guy,for way too damn long// Only showin misery when i'd play u ma songs// But --soul searchin has found part of me// That shines so bright my light aint hard to see// If you cant agree check my discography// And if ya down n out you'll probly honour me// But you'll also notice i've done a 180// And after comparin see im lovin life lately// Hook...( Timothy ) No More negativity// I was blind but now i see// I was down, down n out// But now i live a better life// No More negativity// I was strugglin but now im free// I was down, down n out// But now i live a better life// Verse 3..( Dallas ) I spent tha last 7 years!!! heavily sedated// Not sure if i should walk on tha grass or on tha pavement// But my own road now i feel i finally can pave it// Without any need now for bein medicated// I been defeatin satan at tha games that he created// I guess you could say my mind state has elevated// Thanx 2 tha life me n wifey have created// A family man now, yeah im bout to celebrate it// So how can i look at life now n say i hate it// We bout to have a baby and our bond is real tenacious// I wish it was contageous//what im puttin on these pages// Coz honestly man i havent felt this great in ages// Timothy told us that tha sun would come out// Wont lie to you all i had more than 1 doubt// But theres no need now for a doctor to drug me// You wonderin why , its coz my life now is lovely// Hook...( Timothy ) No More negativity// I was blind but now i see// I was down, down n out// But now i live a better life// No More negativity// I was strugglin but now im free// I was down, down n out// But now i live a better life//

Good Record, Very Upliftin' and the hook it Great lyrics are real Good job on it dogg Artizt 714! West Coast! ...Im Here
Great song. I was thinking you could really cake off if you do a gospel album. You gotta formula that works. You might wanna roll of some of those lo's on you vocals but the song sounds pretty good. Keep up the work.
