Cool For Now (with Ray Swift)
Music by Ralph Garcia / Lyrics by Nicholas Nyemah
“Everybody’s life is like a separate motion picture.
The camera’s always rollin’ so it’s never time to edit.
Success is measured in how many times you show in other people’s credits.”
Cool For Now is like my life philosophy. No matter what, you just gotta be cool. There’s no better song than this one to close your eyes, open your mind, nod your head, and groove to. How do you feel? Now go ahead. Make an effort to incorporate the phrase “cool for now” into your regular conversation today. And every day. See what that does for your overall happiness.
Straight outta Oxnard, California, Ralph Garcia (Ray Swift) comes with that classic boom-bap on the instrumental. Ralph man, this guy eats, drinks, breathes, drinks, and lives hip-hop. He’s a walking hip-hop encyclopedia. And he’s a real DJ, authentic DJ, no built-in sounds, no keyboard beats, strictly crate diggin’. Any sound you hear on a Ray Swift track came from diggin. in. them. crates.
Shout to my man Mark Lopez (Glitch) of the Innernational Crew for recording and mixing Cool For Now. Cool out to a sampling of his skillz here: Testing My Fate… Live Your Life… Final Roster… Turntable Warriors…

BONUS MATERIAL:
Cool For Now was originally released only on vinyl when Vince Cruz (Veckter), my long time partner in rhyme, and I formed Submission Impossible and teamed up with Ralph to put out the Submission Control single. Submission Control has finally arrived for everyone who doesn’t have tables. For those that do, get your hands on the wax here: Submission Control at Discogs.
