"As the full moon begins to dive into the earth’s shadow, I am excited to introduce another darkly hypnotic remix to coincide with the events of the night’s sky and the lunar eclipse. Manifested courtesy of the extraordinary London based producer Nina Mediatrix whose talents continue to inspire me with each new offering, "BTCHCRVFT" marks our third collaboration since the release of "Vintage Curses" in August 2015. On her latest remix Nina artfully conjures her unorthodox atmosphere once again as she invokes classic old school sensibilities with a dichotomy of samples, giving nods to both my early roots in hip hop and my more recent years in heavy metal with My Ruin, back to my days in Tura Satana. She skillfully transforms 2 of the verses into a more frantic vocal delivery that compliment her eclectic arrangement of distorted baselines, drums, off key pads and synths which lead to a new throwback section at the end, rendering it into another unique blend of musical magick reflected in the origins of the original track. " - Tairrie B
QUOTE ☞ “It was around the time when the awesome video dropped that Tairrie B reminded me that “BTCHCRVFT” was the track I had mentioned when I first approached her about remixing! Since then I have been fortunate enough to produce two remixes for her (Wicked Witch of the West Coast & Sky Above, City Below) but, upon seeing the “BTCHCRVFT” video, was glad to have waited as I was able to draw a lot of inspiration from the visuals. I was struck by the combination of mystical, moody imagery combined with Tairrie’s fierce delivery and performance and wanted the remix to capture this energy. “BTCHCRVFT” is a personal favourite of mine from Vintage Curses and so I wanted the Mediatrix Remix to maintain the structure of the original track. It’s definitely got a darker feel than my previous work and I wanted to challenge myself to do something different and contrasting to complete this first trilogy of remixes with Tairrie." - Nina / Mediatrix
lyrics
BTCHCRVFT
-------------------
Why don't you rock that beat so they can jock this jam...
Why don't you rock that beat so they can jock this jam...
Now I’mma start some shit with this, it’s at a fever pitch
Cause there’s a backlash brewing and I’m the wicked witch
Cold kickin’ up dust just like a blizzard in black
Storm’s on the horizon to let you know I’m back.
Shootin' my gifts, speakin' in riffs with my tongue
No sleep and the mind runs deep, I fear no one
So let the big black cloud come, feel my wrath
Immortalized in BTCHCRVFT!
BTCHCRVFT!
You know the color, the Bitch is in black
Why don't you rock that beat so they can jock this jam...
BTCHCRVFT!
You know the color, the Bitch is in black
Why don't you rock that beat so they can jock this jam...
All hail the supreme, beauty fiend, wordslinger
High priestess and motherfuckin' stormbringer
Scarlet to the bone... Maiden, Mother and Crone
On a murderous return to the throne
No Church, just conjuring words that hurt
Wolves howl, as I flow it slow verse to verse
Exalting the night
The keeper of the cauldron...
Takin’ bitches back to the past…
A magnum is a microphone, a magnum is a microphone
A magnum is a microphone murdering emcees
Yeah, lets do it…
Steadily I approach a sucka strapped with my medley
Them not knowing I’m beautiful but deadly
Coincidentally I’m not that friendly
But tonight the spirits run through me readily
Feeling melancholy so I got nostalgic
And I can rock a topic philosophic
With a book of shadows and a black swan theory
Haunt your mind on a sentimental journey
Back in time to rise like a phoenix
From the ashes of a Comptown remix
The OG, Tairrie B. you know me
I’m not an urban myth, I’m history
Where I’ve been ain’t no mystery
And fuck the critics, I know ya missed me
You can’t burn this witch I’ll play ya
Turn myself into Mother Nature
Open up the skies with metaphors
And when it rains it pours
Thunderstorms and words galore
A lightening rod with pens for swords
Slayin’ demons with my vocal chords
An LA Woman just like The Doors described so pass the Whiskey
A magnum is a microphone murdering emcees
Still got the fire inside me
With a passionate heart to guide me
The name of the game is survival
I don’t cuss I swear on the fuckin’ Bible
The Villainess, ill-oquent in my scripture
Fist full of fury, piss and vinegar
When I’m done I’ll be the one they quote…
And that’s all she wrote.
