life forever changed when I bumped into a stranger Fell in love with a fallen angel I was running with the lost boys avoiding all the danger Strange but, I thought she was my savior Yet Still unaware there were snakes In her manger I opened my heart She opened her legs Then she Moved in Unpacked her bags Yeah... unpacked her bag I saw the red flags Yeah I saw the red flags Hung them in the air With the hope to catch our prayers We snuck into the garden under Moon beams of dreams we feasted on fruit, Two dopamine fiends with our oxytocin glue Who cuddled in a puddle of primordial goo Primordial goo And haven’t been this bonded, since to momma in 92, oooh “The shadow in me sees the shadow in you The shadow in me sees the shadow in you?!?!? I get lost in the moods Of all lilliths moons And Stare into eyes until lies feel like truth

Kyron VERSE We skippin’ down to the sea A jeweled moon rising on the beach She passed the DMT Oh yeah we vib--ing to the beat She takes me on a journey To another state of mind Yo I make her feel so worthy She’ be smilin like’ a golden child Angels up above us in the sky Laugh and Dance like the fractals in her eyes On a mystical night We swim in pools of moonlight Our ecstasy is reachin’ high tide She loves the way I ride or die It never felt so right to lose my mind CHORUS I love the way ya ride or die with me baby And I said... Let’s go outside We can touch the sky I love the way ya ride or die with me PLAEDO VERSE: Maybe it’s the drugs Maybe it’s the love Cuz tonight The vibes so high Like we flying in the sky Shined lifetimes to find you the stars have aligned you manifest like a crystal clear Blissful I kiss you In this big dream I can’t believe People hurt you I hurt too But now we together Ain’t nothing to stop up Except maybe the gravity of our love

Yesterday he said I was perfect Today he says I’m worthless Whenever he was hurting He became another person This love became a burden hard to bear Her mind I came to find Was filled with land mines Push and pull Hot and cold Explosions all the damn time I tried - No you didn’t Yes I did I put the work in Guess it’s time to close the curtain You got that right Good luck Good night Alright HEART WRENCH CHORUS Go head and call the fun police Tel then my crimes were that Two hearts passion through the night Do you recall How many times You said our love was sacred Do you recall How many times We played this game before Hey boy don’t be insecure And I’m not being insecure When I say this insane game has a name It’s TOXic SHAME Ain’t none of us innocent here I GUESS I CONFESS I LIED When I SED everyTHIN’S alRIGHT My HEART was WRENCHed My firsts were clenched There were TEARS in my EYES The once was a time That YOU were MINE But OH how the TIMES they CHANGE... Roses WITHER in the rain Memories FADE WORDs beTRAYed Our TRAINS deLAYed DeRAILED by the TRAUma No More drama I’ma go my own way Day by Day through The fog and haze Focused on my dharma Living my mission Gifting my gifts and Quitting this addiction Chorus So I water my new garden With these tears that I cry When I think of you and I And all the dreams, we could have lived All the things we could have did Could have went, round the world Could have had my kid That life was sill born So still I mourn While grandfolks warn All we need is love sometimes I stare at stars And wonder worry where you are A lost little girl in a complex world Who ami to speak, when I be a lost boy And you be the mirror to me So yeah we had that love But I fucked up And you fucked up So what the fuck, do we do When it broke beyond repair But the love is still there When we broke beyond repair But the love is still there

Plaedo Verse This for the ancient truth Amazing views from sacred moons The witches brew we giving you If your vision’s true Through the wizard’s spell Where lizards dwell As the snakes eat their tail And the jaguar’s eyes pier Through the night skies I find with the right mind I shine my divine light So welcome to the magic Enchanted pagans dancing Out the ancient anthems Of our ancestors In this song of forever My heartbeat speaks Through the tick and the toc So we can’t stop, won’t stop Don’t stop, since we bang sticks to rocks To create hip hop So come dance along As I hit you with the drop So come gather round, gather round The fire pit Take a sip, get lit On this mushroom trip (3x) Zen Tempest Verse: I’m Awesome, People call me the hillbilly Shaman. Often dreams become real, Look at all this... See, if I’m honest, It’s obvious life’s a miracle. Every single grain in your Little cheerio cereal. Was grown and harvested, Transported where you live. And somehow you got to sit there And eat it, being a kid... Was some crazy shit, Everybody learns as they go. My soul burns like it’s coal, And casts a vertical glow.... I feel the serpent unfold, Just like the bud of a rose. I am the butt of the joke, And yet I struggle and grow. And overcome what I’m told, Because I trust in the flow. And don’t fuck around, no, Homie love is the goal.

Real Talk, Lets take a walk Through lifes twists and turns Cuz i’ve lived and learned Have hurt and been hurt That’s my word, I admit I am a little hesitant To give my heart out again But with you, baby boo I will take the chance Ask, you to take my hand And, we can join this dance Say awwwwww yeah Come a little closer We can be the mom and the dad We supposed To have, back in the past This time, without the drama We complete the karma Have a healthy family And we can grow our garden So tell the lost girls And boys it is safe To come home I stay sweet to the taste but don’t got time to waste Either we grow together or go our separate ways So what do you say my love be the chronic you know it gets you high but if you don’t want it I got to say goodbye

VERSE 1: I am peter pan Pretending to be A wise old man Or maybe it’s the otherway Either way and anyway The mechanical elves From ethereal realms say It is time, to love myself Without help, from anybody else I will be okay, gotta live my day Time to pray, with each step That i take, be proud Of the path, that I made Evan though, this roller coaster Is almost halfway over I enjoy the time, left on this ride And i, don’t always get it right But i, always try Ta Tend to my garden Give it plenty of water Even Though I don’t know What’s at The end, of my road I read the signs, with an open Mind and examine And trust in the flow yo As the planets planned it VERSE 2: Earth wind fire rain Earth wind fire rain Take away my people’s pain Teach us when and how to flow Show us where we need to go Up mountains high Through deserts low We walked for miles in the wild with the exiles Survived the flood We built the ark Renewed the blood Only God above Can judge if we learned to love My old man was a metaphorical Moses He told us Nail the snake to the cross Cruficy the wokeness I wrote this to heal the Hocus pocus Focus my dopeness on this moment We chose the roadless traveled Down to the sea The lost boys are home The exiles are free VERSE 3: Strange faces, I have seen Float through, my mind screen All feels, like a dream Lifes not, what it seems With the, smoke and mirrors And our hope and fears So I, shed my skin again begin again Keep close, all my friends No mom, ma, or daddy Might as well be, like family So we, no longer lost We help each other Find our way Through the maze And the haze of the days we won’t waste them away Nah I master the magic So when I am rappen It’s spells that Im casting And When they close my casket my souls is everlasting A-Yo we’re going back to The garden of Edan this time lillith’s feeding Apples to the snakes And we’re taking off our clothes And we won’t be ashamed And we won’t be afraid We will be free and naked Simply sacred, in joy We will play

VERSE 1: I remember back as a kid We all had dreams Of making it big Well, i been around the world And i’m back in the hood Still it’s all good Cuz i still got love for my people So pass me the reefer As I teach ya, all I know And the grass grows Green in the spring While hair grows Whiter by the winter We harvest from the garden And share our dinner As boys get lost Go from saints to sinners The time keeps ticking And the world keeps spinning eternal is the circle and I don’t know everything But i learned some lessons I no longer count my stressings Now I count my blessings _____ Chorus Ideas Hey young world The world is yours The world is yours The world is your 2x To all the lost girls and boys of the world We hear you, we see you To all the lost girls and boys of the world Life is gonna happen So just trust in your magic INSTRUMENTAL BREAK Hey young world The world is yours The world is yours The world is your To all the lost girls and boys of the world Life is gonna happen So just trust in your magic VERSE 2: life passes so fast The future’s now the past time waits for no man So we gotta keep goin Through these strange encounters Yeah I found some I collected my stories And the ones I remember I now share with the shorties So I had to go roam Reach the end of my rainbow Get that soul gold then bring it back home Yo I found my rose That arose to arouse The cracks in the cement stone And when I did I picked it and gifted it To Lilith like Ima live my myth And give her a kiss This mistress of my fantasies Yet not all dreams Are meant to be But if you ever meet Lilith of the dark moon Tell her I am well And when the hands of time Are holding hands I still think of her So tell her that I love her Yeah tell her I will always love her

about

“Strange Encounters” is a literary and musical concept album, created to help those who have been through the rite of passage of a toxic relationship. It is musical medicine meant to help those who have fallen madly in love, those who have fallen madly in love and had their heart broken, and those who have had their heart broken and from the cracks of those broken hearts found the healing to sprout a new, improved life. It is an album chronicling the hero’s journey of getting into and out of toxicity in relationships and healing through community and connection as told through the story of Peter Pan of the Lost Boys and Dark Moon Lillith meeting in the Garden of Eden and sharing the forbidden fruit as the great snake dangerously, tempestuously, slithers about.

Informed by Kyron and Plaedo’s careers in mental health, it is an exploration of trauma bonding, fantasy, and healing of toxic love through the lens of Jungian Psychology and Internal Family Systems and utilizing symbols and imagery from mythology, astrology, psychedelia, and the Old Testament. It is a heady, intellectual album told through the common vernacular, street talk of hip hop.

Born out of a great friendship between Kyron and Plaedo, who began to talk on the phone, sharing their stories and learning lessons as they processed trauma, their relationships and healing journeys; the two decided to make an album. What resulted was an epic international recording process with Plaedo writing and recording most of his verses over two, two-day long intensive marathon recording sessions and Kyron working with an allstar creative team over many hours and months to lovingly, meticulously craft the album. The album features Zen Tempest, Deezel, Virgilio “EngineEar” Castro, Kara Strickland, Princess T, Maxwell Davis, and Mysty who all brilliantly contribute to the narrative and emotional structure of the album.

With a pioneering sound that can be described as "Psychedelic Hip Pop" producer Kyron creates a perfect sound bed for the emotional roller coaster that is the story. With a musically complex psychedelic mixing of Hip Hop, Pop, Soul and even Yacht Rock influences, the album truly has a unique, yet catchy sound.
