Yes I am a rapper, yes this is my job Yes I got support of my moms, she told me reach for the stars, When I was young, and she meant it, she raised me right, And through all the strife, I try to represent it

Right hand grips the pen Left hand on the laptop So let me begin Troubles I had to laugh it off, So I write my worries in a text file delete that, empty out the bin They try to see me as their hero for success Cuz I quit my job and gave my life the order from the mess But really I don’t know any...

I was surrounded by longboxes and polybags I used to draw in my sketchbook, on the walls would hang Glimpses into the windows, the map for my escape plan I walked the halls, simply waiting for the day to end Cuz every wednesday, I could find my release And now I’m older, still through comics where I’m finding my peace And just because I see...

I was raised a skinny kid without a thing to say
I would take the school abuse and let it wash away And one day, I woke up, and had a thought to spray All over the mic, and now the crowds all, they flock to me This the kind of thing that happens when you’re rappin’ in a city known for murders, b&e, assault and carjackin’ Some think it’s...

Lady Death - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
I’ve heard people say that they weren’t sure which character is performing Lady Death. I guess it makes sense, since if it was Demonos, presumably it would be Niles performing it. But it’s Demonos. This track is basically the last few pages of The Infinity Gauntlet, where Thanos is in...
Battle (Finale) - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
Writing a “finale” is daunting. You can ask Tribe, I was stressed about this song up until Ruckus delivered the final mixed version of the track. The idea for this track was basically having Adam and Demonos circling each other, like a Dragon Ball Z fight, talking trash before they started...
Up & Adam - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock] This is another song that changed completely from the rough draft form to the final version. Ruckus re-sequenced the drums, and the character of the whole song went to a new place. Again, this would be another really fascinating song to hear the rough draft version of.
I told Ruckus I wanted a song that...
Laxidazia/Interlude - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
I was talking about this song with someone the other day, and I said, “I don’t think most people realize this song is about drugs.” It’s not really about drugs. Okay, it sort of is about drugs, or more like, sedatives, relaxation. After the second battle, Adam is sent to limbo, or...
Battle (Reprise) - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock] The second battle was probably the most straightforward track on the album, it’s the closest to what I imagined a “battle” song would be like on the album. Just four bars, back and forth, each final line’s rhyme scheme sort of leaking over to the other guy’s opener. We wrote this...
Heroes Requiem - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock] Probably the first thing I knew the story would have to have would be that moment where all of Earth’s heroes attack the villain in a big battle royale. The only problem was that I didn’t know how to do it, mostly because every single version of the story just kept reminding me of The Last...
Special Bulletin - Commentary Notes
This song was a mess before we got to the studio. It was a lot of ideas and notes, with a healthy dose of “we’ll make it work in the session.” We saved a whole half day for me, Tribe and Ruckus to run in and out of the room and say our lines until that first verse made sense and flowed together smoothly. I think the first time we heard the finished project, we almost...
Crooked Deal/Interlude - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
I’ve heard some people call this track “horror core,” which is pretty hilarious. I never thought that word would come up when talking about the album. I mean, obviously, the story would at some point go to hell, or some sort of version of the dark afterlife. After Demonos’s initial...
Battle (Introductions) - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
Oh, Lordy. So the idea that there’d be three battles was one of those ideas that seems awesome on paper, becomes absolute hell in execution. I think by the time we finished the first battle track, we looked at each other and thought, “My god, we have to do this two more times?”
It was...
The View From Eternity/Interlude - Commentary...
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
I hate interludes. I mean, sure, some of my favorite hip hop albums of all time had a ton of skits and interludes, but I didn’t want any interludes on this album. I just thought if there’s something I needed to say in an interlude, I should make the music say it (you’ll also notice I tried...
Bad Mother (Villainy) - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
This was one of those songs that started in one place, ended up in a totally different time zone. Introducing the villain was a difficult thing to do, conceptually. When I was writing this track, I still had no idea who the villain was going to really be. Charles (a guy I worked with on an EP back in...
Absolute Truth - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
I’ve always had the idea of a song where the verses would basically mirror the generic plots of superhero movies. I got my chance to do it on “Absolute Truth,” where the first verse basically explains the plot of say, a Spider-Man or Iron Man, and the second verse explains the plot of a...
I Am Him - Commentary Notes
[Running commentary, notes and stories behind The War For Infinity by Adam WarRock]
I guess it’s only appropriate that we start with the first beat I ever received from Ruckus. This song was always intended to be an introduction to this faceless hero, establishing the history and the mythology of Adam WarRock. It was important that you hear the initial track and believe that he was...
