"He just kinda scratched his head thinking, 'What the fuck is going on here'? And I said, 'Well... I don't think we should quit.' It was discouraging. Just temporarily eclipsed is what happened…" I know ya seen me on a youtube video and my crew in a clip is who's who on vimeo in the news I was hitting these dudes subliminal in the UK saying Will C. can rhyme I pace while I'm synching deep space and time I make ya phase out humming a line I design, c'mon Braun Beyonder knows me everybody shows love when I walk in slowly at a club getting dap from a cast of cronies you mighta seen me with a cat from Sony talkin that jargon about charting high I was one behind Rakim in July no lie, though you mighta not seen my face I ain't faking it man who'm I kidding I ain't making it mellow cool brother slicker than oil rap gets so hot it makes the spit boil you mighta noticed the fine print for five years font size 5 was my niche to grind gears Ronk got fly and looped up I'm kicking that once I'm signed I'm souped up I'm living that life I tried to wrap my head around way back when Ren and that cat were getting down and Snick was brand new, enhance view the Brick advance and analyst's demands grew all the interviews, all the shady 0s jealous cats still have to pay me though wack cats spit half the rate I flow the weak cats bitch and don't smash the radio whoa they know nothing, dopes grow curmudgeon boom boom the bass to solo percussion so goes the pace, we don't slow or rush in stakes high like Soul Glo discussion keep hushing i'm Ice-T-ing, Ice Cream alluding Lumis discussing Judith to Judas with evil looming I see ya clueless, no mistaking it man whom i kidding i ain't making it I ain't making it from right to left, and left to right when he cuts upon the tables his skills ignite

Eli's Prism 03:41
Perhaps you should begin by asking yourself some questions and making some observations My hometown's a scene where diversity is as common as weed in a nursery kid, I was the Jeckyll if my brother was Hyde while he was slipping I was diving on a Slip 'n' Slide, yeah you know I think of all the knots in time and how you lose memories like a flawed design in winged moths to the touch will dissolve and shine and drop to Earth and bond like an orange rind the other day I went up north in a crisis to rework the rhyme and find where my life fits more win / loss, up / drop than bright quips less "you pop off, I Pop Art like 'Bite This'" in prison the light mixed to crimson likened to baths of bloodlines, a viper don't fast my brother Eli defined a frightening path now the future is bright like a light where you're syphoning gas and the fact is with weeks of practice and years of backflips you're really back it's a miracle and a sign (it might switch on a dime) psych, cynicism isn't aligned Eli's Prism'll shine in the sky and it's like that And on the upside we're finding the right path And at the rough times it's hard but we fight that And in the sunshine the scar is a light scratch, 'cause Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like that Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like that Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like this "It's Me Brother!" Eli's prism defined is a strike back of many years spent behind iron bike racks bars aligned, a guy kinda type cast and talks of times when I was a tike, fact: when I was five, biting a rhyme on a tape you kicked Das Efx I tried to relate wild chase in an Alf mask and matching gloves brother the attic is safekeeping a capsule of, like when we would play whiffle ball by the pricker bush you could hit the pitch off the pitcher off the upper deck with the slider please lock 'em mother, tree tops to tires cosmos rotator… God bless you man I tried my best at times to respect and get you noticing light, now we're older and wise I see an omen in coping I know to open them blinds Eli's Prism'll shine in the sky and it's like that And on the upside we're finding the right path And at the rough times it's hard but we fight that And in the sunshine the scar is a light scratch, yes Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like that Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like that Eli's Prism'll shine, we tell you one more time "It's Me Brother!" see, I told ya look at that dude right there for example this is a prism look what happens when a beam of light enters this glass prism do we know everything there is to know about light ... of course this is a mercury vapor street light we should make records this is burning magnesium this is the spectrum of the sun we should make white records this is a spectrum of laboratory helium what causes this to happen? the sugar syrup is in the lower half this slit will weld the light from a star now let's take a look at some other materials

In the town I was raised, I was Gaining a rep for sounding okay, I was Eyeing that Electribe to yes ya'll In the rock shop, denying a Les Paul I said okay 'cause I wasn't fresh, all Wet beside the neck, wrecking "...Get Small" But one time the belt in the deck snapped I combined a set with the setback My hand turned the jam to the dead wax My man Fern commanded ya then clap for (C.) 'Cause even in the beginning Before "Evil In The... was a sequel to vision I'd chill with Reese and at recess you could be beaten to piss and the trampoline with Nick and D yo I was seekin to pin 'em We'd treat the mat as a ring and the spring as the ropes When Johnny O. would emulate The Rock and wrestle me quotes And toss a referee, back in '98 on a quest to be The first to conquer Zelda "Ocarina" Deku Tree I'd walk to Bobby's and The Sharper Edge and enter the Downtown York Beach scene where Short Sands meets the (Sea) The horizon poles is Boon Island and Isles of Shoals And the high tide sometimes arose Over the dry sides to find the road And when he wasn't showing flicks with the eyes of stone Bum Billy would've said "Look at the size of those (waves)" When I could wire a setup so my cassette of "Josie" teamed With Joseph Webb, Tex and pro Lee jeans But "...Like Sex" won't go with Monique she's Left me cold lonely, Queens Now the spots where I used to reside are replaced With maintenance fade away into space defaced My junior high is a parking lot, I barely can trace The way I was and to fade with the changes aches But don't let the pain invade at rates To make greys, in Dave's I.G.A. with capes was Will (C.) And the times that I speak on made me Like the soft toss of Lindsey Cain's Spree The Mario warp whistle in stage three The Ship with the Lane's, my neighbors, daily And trips in the rain to Tim's, today he's stayed A best friend, Brett sends his praise, see they Would both hang while I messed with break beats Step editing bass, piece the edit to tape, teach (And press it to disc) before assembling this I was a buck twenty-seven with a venomous mix And a basic cut that'll buzz the monitors And a name that stuck, so yo bust the moniker Will C. hi Will, this is Andrew just wanted to know if you wanted to come to the ship bye

about

[FULL ALBUM + ALL INSTRUMENTAL VERSIONS]

"Will C. uses an ingenious strategy for celebrating an ephemeral art form that too often goes undocumented." - New York Times

"Will C. can be closely compared to a one man version of The Beastie Boys" - URB

25-year-old producer / engineer Will C. reemerges with his long-awaited full-length Eli's Prism, a 13-song journey through the mind of one of hip-hop's most imaginative personalities.

Eli's Prism Trailer No. 2 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-77vMIxjzk

Arriving on the heels of the critically acclaimed Adieu Or Die, which saw Will rewiring classics from The Beach Boys for 2012, Eli's Prism follows the main character on a wild journey during a crucial moment in his life and career. Trapped by the stresses of the world and the rat race of Boston city, one must break away or die trying. Does our rhyming hero make it? The listener will have to decide as they enter a 38-minute landscape of intricately woven sound waves. The bass rumbles and the drums pound as Will C. follows the sun headed west in the fight of his life.

Assisting Will in the battle are long-time friends and skilled musicians 7L & Esoteric, Blacastan, Berklee College of Music Professor Raydar Ellis and Raheem Jamal of Project Move. Vocally and sonically the record astounds and rewards with repeated listens.
