From the recording Lit-Hop Lessons - Volume 2

Subject: On the creative search for the exact right words, told through the physics of space

Space is a vacuum. No sound in that room.

Black Hole Language opens with a paradox and builds an entire creative philosophy inside it. Sound cannot travel through space — there are no molecules to vibrate, no medium to carry it — and yet the song uses the physics of the cosmos as the most precise language available to describe what it feels like to make music. The contradiction is the point. The search for the right words is its own kind of void: vast, silent, and full of things you can't quite reach.

The track follows the creative process from the inside — not the polished version where inspiration strikes cleanly, but the real one. Searching and seeking the words that are right / what does it sound like — when does it strike. That uncertainty, that pursuit, is the engine of the whole song. Too many words exist. The right phrase is out there somewhere, orbiting just out of reach, and the work is navigation — finding your north star, tracking the fly-bys, catching the moments before they pass.

What makes the metaphor earn its keep is how scientifically specific it gets. Comets built from sound bytes. Dark matter and dust forming concentration. ET gravity as a mixing principle. This isn't vague "reach for the stars" language — it's a working cosmology applied to craft. When MC Evol writes stars, gas, dark matter and dust / form a concentration and I trust / when I bring together elements of sound / I am using the same common ground, that's not decoration. That's a statement about how creative assembly actually works: disparate elements pulled together by something invisible until they collapse into something new.

And then the chorus hits like a gravitational event: nothing can escape. The black hole isn't a threat here — it's the aspiration. To make something with that kind of pull. To reshape the universe of whoever's listening. To record something on tape that holds people in its orbit long after the song ends.

Black Hole Language is my art. Said plainly, without apology, in the middle of the most expansive metaphor on the album. That's the lesson.

Themes: the creative process, language and craft, music-making as cosmology, the search for precision, the physics of inspiration
If this track made you think about: the frustration of reaching for something you can't quite name, the moment a chord or a line finally locks into place, or the ambition to make something nobody can look away from — you're already inside the black hole.

Lyrics

Black Hole Language

Intro
Zero sound in space
No molecules to vibrate

V1
Searching and seeking the words that are right
What does it sound like - when does it strike
Pursuing the right phrases but too many exist
It can be confusing but i must persist
Watch for impact on nearby parts
The answer is out there swimming in stars
A chord strikes in sync with the universe
Next step is match it up with the words

chorus
Ripping stars apart
Power beyond charts
Gravity plays the part
Black Hole Language is my art

Nothing can escape
A universe reshaped
Nothing can escape
When recorded on the tape

V2
Orbiting to seek out a north star
Navigating to a planet afar
Small chunks of dust and ice
A kind of comet built with with sound bytes
Want to write down all the words
Detecting an intense sense of concern
I don’t want to miss the fly-bys
Adding texture, and variety to tantalize

V3
Stars, gas, dark matter and dust
Form a concentration and i trust
When i bring together elements of sound
I am using the same common ground
Mixing it up to produce total depravity
Principles applied of that ET gravity
In outer space some are fated to collide
In your ears, the aim to make you gratified

Intro or Outro
Space is a vacuum
No sound in that room
