[Audio] D-Sisive – Graceland

“Graceland” is the first track to be released from D-Sisive’s upcoming Asian Elvis mixtape (July 31st). The instrumental is taken from “Dada” from Black Milk and Danny Brown’s Black and Brown LP.

This song has been through a few name changes since I recorded it last Tuesday. It was originally titled Bubba Ho Tep, after the Bruce Campbell film [for obvious reasons]. Then I renamed it Don Mckellar, after the brilliant Candian director/actor, for patriotic reasons. After sitting on that title, I decided to not give this one a NAME name. It’s the Asian Elvis jumpoff so I wanted it to be simple.

My home inspired the majority of the lyrics. Positively and negatively. So it made sense to go with the home of the mixtape’s inspiration.

Graceland.
