This is awesome. More From Jonathan Lowell
Here.
"Yo, thanks for listening to Gray
Matter. Its my second project, entirely produced by my homie of many aliases
but yall know him as Jonathan Lowell. I apologize for taking so long to release
it, had a few issues along the way. I’m really glad yall are still rocking with
me though. Enjoy.
UGLY was about the outside. Gray
Matter is about the inside. Gray Matter is what your brain is made of, what my
brain is made of. This album
captures all my recurring thoughts. It isn’t too lengthy because I hate
repeating myself in my music. I want some of you to relate, and the rest of you
to understand or just think about what im saying. With all that said, press
play and enjoy. Preferably in headphones, the mix isn’t “industry quality” but
who cares? #GrayMatter #LetsGo."

Rapper’s Ramble
Inspired by: Rappity Rap, Hip-Hop
These are just some intro bars to hook the new homies in. Trying to prove
I can rap before I start with the testimonies. There’s a video for this on
youtube that I shot with my dude, Zach Cavaretta. Word to Right-Minded Media.
2.
Interrogation
Inspired by: The frustration
of having too many questions about life.
The hook is “Its like this yall, its like that yall, cuz I don’t have
enough faith to give a FACT yall”.

Geek
Inspired
by: The Walking Dead. Its my favorite show right now. I think it’d be cooler
for humans to end with a zombie apocalypse instead some tectonic plate shift or
something scientific and Nostradamus-ish, ya know? Also, its metaphoric. Ya
know, for being a conformist and stuff…

Wings feat. Luke Saint John
Inspired by: Lupe Fiasco. My favorite rapper. Jonathan had this beat with
the same sample as an old Lupe track. I felt like I needed to be at least a
little political. Talking about the frustrations of being a compassionate human
in a selfish society. I felt like Luke provided somewhat of a solution in his
verse.

Swag
Inspired by: My peers and their Jordan sneaker obsessions. The ones who
are 23 and don’t have a car and still live with moms but they have the freshest
J’s. Get your priorities right, kid. Invest in yourself.

Make It Last
Inspired by: Most of my Gray Matter is owned by the opposite gender. I
love woman and I think they run the world. Even though they can be a handful a
lot of the time, which brings me to….

Ticker
Inspired by: Relationships, Old girlfriend, new girlfriends
I put my all into relationships, and it has yet to be fully reciprocated
with anyone. Its cool though.

GRAY MATTER
Inspired by: Some saiyan…
The track is pretty self-explanatory I think. I think it was a good
conclusion. Enjoy the bonus tracks…
PRESHATE YA.
