Statement from the Throne 10.19.25

“Reign Jrop Media isn’t chasing fame — we’re building freedom. One artist, one song, one move at a time.”

Esteem by Thirty-2

Tryna gain ‘steem 

It seems this has been one of my biggest drawbacks since childhood 

And in high school it got worse 

I was always the first to talk shit about myself 

Way before anyone else  

I guess I was tryna beat ’em to the punch 

See I love my self a bunch 

But there’s also parts of me I do not love 

#Poetry 

(Optionless) by Thirty-2

I hate not knowing what to do 

It’s the worst feeling in the world

As my stomach begins to curl into a little ball 

I’m tryna make an internal call 

I start to speak to myself

A lot of that is going on too

“What am I going do?“

“Or what was I thinking“

Sometimes I say “What if I were dead and stinking” 

At least that way I could rest in peace

And never again have to face defeat 

I hate feeling powerless

Watching grains of sand go from the top to the bottom of the hour glass

Knowing that an hour passed

Without your consent or even your wherewithal 

I just might have “Care Withdrawal”

A severe lacking if you will

A severe lacking of will

But then, one day it comes back

To haunt that sanctuary in my mind

It’s like you invest in something or someone

But end up with a knife

Embedded in your spine

You wish you had more control

Or could read people’s minds 

But its just not that easy 

Plus you’re at the mercy of time

You can not go left

You can not go right

You’re just forced to watch

No matter how unbearable the sight

What’s comparable to this plight?

I guess, maybe being enslaved

Having no choice

But to follow the way that’s being paved

#Poetry

Come Here by Thirty-2

Come here, let me hold you

I wanna console you

And I wanna fold you 

And mold your love

Hold and tug

And all the above

Soft kisses

Fulfill your wishes

Which in return completes my missions

To get you right

And I fit you right

Plus I hit all night

Like a champ in a fight

Ok? Alright?

And that’s with all my might 

I’ll be teasing you

Then I’m pleasing you

And I’ll increase your breathing too

Cause I’m seizing you 

And you ain’t leaving boo

Though I need no restraints 

And no I can’t

Just stop licking you

You’re too delicious to

Viscous pools swirl 

When my tongue whirls and twirls

Letting our love unfurl

In a world full of bliss

Feels like we’re laying midst a field of tulips

As I kiss your two lips

Above the waste this time

Didn’t wanna waste this time that I have you

So I have to grab you

And stamp you with my lips

On your hands

On your hips

On both pairs of your lips

On your thighs

Right above your eyes

On your neck 

On your cheek

Where your knees get weak

Literally kiss you from your head down to your feet

Loving you from your follicles

Down to your cuticles

Cause to me

All your cells are beautiful

Blurred Lines by Thirty-2

What are the parameters?

How do you define us?

What are the rules to remind us

Not to take it too seriously?

---

We argue vigorously—

but to what end?

And more importantly,

what’s in it for me?

---

Evidently, the answer is just

a friendship.

So why shouldn’t I just end this

before it gets to the point where we can’t mend it?

---

Tremendous pressure mounts

as the clock counts down.

We can’t be this way forever—

always talking,

but she always calling,

and she’s oh so darling.

---

So I just can’t ignore.

I adore her more

with every passing day.

And in almost every way I’m terrified—

horrified,

and would be mortified

if I ignored the warning signs,

pretending I don’t see the danger,

the potential anger

and anguish.

---

And my heart is not stainless,

so I’m trying to be cautious.

But this roller coaster ride

is starting to make me nauseous.

---

The play and the pauses,

the on and the off switch—

flickers when we bicker,

and I get sicker

when I ponder

what’s over yonder.

---

Hopefully soon,

I will find the answer.

---

Or maybe it will find me.

🧬 Are We Evolving or Depreciating?

People love to say the world’s getting crazier.

That society’s going downhill.

That the “good old days” were better.

But here’s the truth:

We’re not falling off—

We’re shedding skin.

Every generation inherits the world and reshapes it—

Faster. Louder. More connected than ever.

But progress always comes at a cost:

Jobs lost to machines,

Norms shattered by innovation,

Comfort disrupted by growth.

So why all the resistance?

Because biologically, we’re built to improve.

But emotionally, we’re wired for stability.

Advancement feels like chaos—

Because it threatens identity.

Adapting feels like betrayal—

Because it forces us to let go of what we’ve known.

But if you zoom out…

You’ll see a species not in decline,

But in evolution.

A humanity caught in the lag

Between innovation and acceptance.

We aren’t depreciating.

We’re just glitching before the upgrade.

Adapt or fossilize. That’s the code.

My “Stranded” Playlist: Songs I Can’t Live Without

Listen Now

I’ve been building this playlist for years—so long, in fact, that I’ve lost track of when it all began. It’s become something truly epic: 2,370 songs, adding up to 163 hours and 11 minutes of nonstop music. The idea behind it is simple: I’m compiling a list of my all-time favorite songs, the ones I can’t imagine living without. I call it my “Stranded” playlist because these are the songs I’d need if I ever found myself stuck on a deserted island, with nothing but music to keep me company.

Imagine this: You know you’re about to be stranded on an island for an indefinite amount of time, and you can only take a single playlist with you. What songs would make the cut? Which tracks are so essential to your life that you couldn’t bear to leave them behind?

That’s what “Stranded” is to me—a constantly evolving collection of the songs I couldn’t imagine living without. Some tracks stay forever, while others come and go as my tastes change. It’s a living, breathing playlist, and every song on it holds a special place in my life.

What about you? If you had to create your own “Stranded” playlist, which songs would make the list?

Thirty-2’s SoundCloud

Have you check out my SoundCloud yet?

If not, you’re missing out. I’ve got over—50 Fire Tracks🔥 up right now. They are just waiting to be played, shared, and replayed. Every track is a piece of the legacy I’m building—and it’s all free.

So what’s stopping you? Go witness history in the making and be part of the journey from the ground up.

Tiny Desk Contest 2025🎬

So it’s official! I have entered in the 2025 Tiny Desk Contest held by NPR. I literally got this in at 11:59 pm (almost missed the deadline). I still feel pretty proud of my performance. Check out the video on my YouTube here or on the NPR page here. Please like and leave comments.

Welcome to the Throne…👑

What it do, y’all?! It’s ya boy Thirty-2, coming straight outta the nation’s capital. I’m here to deliver some of the coldest #BARS coming out of the District (argue with yourself). But this ain’t just about rap—this is about building a dynasty.

I’m chronicling my journey as I lay the foundation for Reign Jrop Media, an empire in the making. So if you’re about that real artistry, ambition, and elevation, follow a King. I promise to bring you riches beyond your wildest dreams—and I’m not just talking about money.

This is bigger than music. This is legacy. Welcome to the Reign. 🌧️👑
