BadVibes - Employed (Prod. By Alex Ramos)



LYRICS:
TELL ME ABOUT YO STRUGGLE
I'LL GIVE YOU DOUBLE
TRIPLE WHEN I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU
BECAUSE YOU MUMBLE
STUMBLIN' UP ON THE KEYBOARD
TRYIN' TO TELL ME HOW TO DO THINGS
BOY YOU JUST A SHOE STRING
SO TIED UP IN WHAT I DO
BUT YOU CAN'T LIVE A DAY UP IN MY SHOES
ONLY THING WORSE
THAN A RAPPER WHO'S COCKY
IS SOMEBODY WHO DON'T RAP
THAT BE TRYIN' TO STOP ME
CALL ME WANNA BE THIS
CALL ME WANNA BE THAT
CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT
CUZ YOU AIN'T GONNA BE CRAP
I'M ABOUT TO QUIT MY DAY JOB
MAKE ANOTHER WAY TO GET BY
9 TO 5 AIN'T LIFE FOR YA BOY
CUZ YA BOY GOT OPTIONS
KEEPIN' IT MOVIN' OR ELSE THE MONEY BE STOPPIN'
I CAN'T LIVE WITH MY BOSS BREATHIN' DOWN MY NECK
SHOW ME NO RESPECT BECAUSE HE SIGNS MY CHECKS
BUT IF I DON'T QUIT SOON BOY I SWEAR TO GOD
ONE OF THESE DAYS I'MA SLAP HIM IN THE FACE
GRAB A STAPLER AND SHOVE IT DOWN HIS THROAT
WHILE I BE LOADIN' A SYRYNGE UP IN HIS NECK
MAKIN' HIM BEG FOR MERCY
GET DOWN ON YA KNEES LIKE A HOE WHO THIRSTY
MONEY AIN'T MADE CRAZY
JUST HOW I'M TREATED BY THE PEOPLE THAT PAY ME
KEEPIN' MY HEAD DOWN DO WHAT I'M TOLD
BARELY IN MY TWENTIES BUT I'M FEELIN' HELLA OLD
I'M JUST A PAWN ON THEIR CHESSBOARD
DON'T EVEN KNOW ME BY NAME
CLOCK IN AT 8, 30 MINUTE LUNCH
TEO 10 MINUTE BREAKS
AIN'T NOBODY PROMISIN' THE NEXT DAY
SO DON'T YOU EVER BE TRIPPIN' ON WHAT THE REST SAY
FEELIN' WISE LIKE A SENSEI MASTER SPLINTER
I'M NO BEGINNER
I CAN NEVER THANK THAT HOE ENOUGH
FOR BREAKIN' UP WITH ME
BLOCK ME ON EVERYTHING
BUT I CAN BET SHE'S LISTENING
TO THIS TRACK RIGHT HERE
BETTER GET YOUR BUZZ ON LIGHTYEAR
NOTHIN' GON' STOP ME FROM DROPPIN' HER NAME
NO DROPPIN' HINTS, I'M DROPPIN' FRAME
DON'T LET A HOE GET A HOLD OF YOUR EMOTIONS
SAME THING GOES FOR THE MONEY THAT YOU HOLDIN'
MONEY THAT YOU DON'T GOT, MONEY THAT YOU WANT
CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU WHEN YOU GONE

Vlog #7 - Burgers, Rappers & Cool Shoes

Lately we've been encouraging people to give us suggestions to visit any places around Cali whether it be food or a mall. A few weeks ago, one of our listeners, Leo, saw our last vlog over at a restaurant in Orange, CA. He did what any good food-lover would do and suggested we try one of his favorite burger spots in Alhambra called Grill'em All! He showed is their Instagram and we were enticed by their classic Heavy Metal themed restaurant so we had to scope it out.

Shortly after we devoured our burgers, we journeyed over some massive speedbumps again to head out to Melrose for some shopping where we ran into two pretty well known rappers. After our quick stop there, we ,made our way to our final stop of the day, Citadel Outlets in Commerce, CA.



We realize it's been a while since we've done a photo blog but it's been hard to fit time to do those along with vlogs, podcasts, music, and our constantly laggy attempt at getting merch up on the online store for you guys..

The main reason why "car pages" are always on top of their merch and less on their interactive/personal content is because car pages/people do everything just to get likes follows & shares all to make some cash off of merch. But we're not a "car page", nor are we "car people". We're Unaffiliated, and if you're reading this, so are you. So bare with us, we got you.

GrimeyVibes - #012 - Shaving, Butt Stuff & Happy Endings



This was our first podcast with a female host. If you've ever listened to our previous podcasts you'll know exactly why this was a big deal. In this podcast we get a brutally introspective view on the modern young adult. Well, we definitely can't speak for all males and females but for the few of you can relate, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Vlog #4 - Tu Tu Tango

If you know us, then you know we're all about good eats. In this vlog David & I go out to Orange, California to try out some new food at a place called Cafe Tu Tu Tango. Let's just say that you can't always judge a book by its cover.

Vlog #1 - Meet Greet & Eat

We're not "OG's" or anything but we used to attend car meets back in 2011 before Instagram helped ruin the car scene. It seems like nowadays people attend car meets with the intention of getting "coverage" whether it's of their own car or of others'. It kind of takes away the "meet" in "car meet". 

So what we did was we organized a day for people to come out and hang out with us and get to know each other. Ever since we've been releasing podcasts & music, we've seen a steady decrease in overall followers along with a steady increase of intimate social interaction with our listeners.




We truly can't wait to host another meet up again. Most people use social media to market or to purely gain "likes" and attention to make themselves feel better than other people but we're using social media to it's true potential to reach out to the people who fuck with us. We appreciate you guys more than you'll ever know.

We've said it once and we'll say it again, "we'd rather have a thousand soldiers than a million fans". We can see that we're "falling off" numbers wise, but we're starting to see who really fucks with us for who we are and not for what we drive. This is the transitional period where the "car people" will start to unfollow us and the real niggas start to show up, meaning ya'll (you know who you are).

Keep it real & stay Unaffiliated.

Unaffiliated - Snakes In The Artificial Grass



I know, not exactly "car related" but in the past few months we've been expanding our horizons in different ways to reach out to people. We've been hosting live stream podcasts and making music so here's our latest 10 track EP which is also available for free streaming/download. (Click the orange SoundCloud button on the right of the page).

We know these songs might not be "poppin" or something you'd hear at a club or show, but it's us. You can l Take it how you want, it's one of the most direct forms of expression and we're lucky enough to be able to do so. There's only so much you can learn about a person/people through their car/cars which is why we started doing our GrimeyVibes Podcasts and now we're proud to announce that we're going to start vlogging to give a more in-depth approach as to who we are and what we do.

Thank you for your continuous support.

SUPER WHATEVR: LIVE 7/18

CLICK HERE for Ticket Purchase!



If you know us, then you know that we love supporting local artists. This one band in particular we came across in Downtown Fullerton at the Slide Bar. Their sound was clean, mean and overall performance was captivating. But you could only imagine how devastated we were to find that out of all the amazing songs they performed, only one was available online. Turns out they've been working on an EP. We went ahead and followed the band on all their social media and found out they were going to be performing in Santa Ana. So if you're free tonight, tickets are only $8!!

See you all tonight! #SupportLocalBands

Low Cars High TImes 2016

People may not know this but despite the fact that we drive all sorts of vehicles (dominantly imports), we grew up in a Chicano neighborhood. You might be able to see how certain styles have been implemented into our cars if you see them in person.

The OG of our neighborhood throws a block party every 4th of July weekend in honor of his Birthday. So here's to another successful turn out for Tommy's Annual Chicano Hootenanny! Happy Birthday Tommy! Thanks for keeping the neighborhood alive! Low Cars High Times!

Camp Vibes



Reminiscing of camping as a kid with your family most likely emanates a euphoric rush of sensory detail through your frontal lobe (naturally), resulting in a feel of ecstasy. Looking back we might even refer to the feeling as "pure joy" or "true happiness". But the perplexing thing about this observation is that the feeling of true happiness surrounded us without us even knowing it; we literally were just living our lives in the moment.






Now that we are much older and independent, it seems as though we are living our lives with the underlying urge to feel that sense of "true happiness" again whether it be that high paying job, that new car, that first house purchase, or finding that significant other. But why search, right? We've known the feeling since we were young, why can't we just feel that again without the dependency of a literal end goal? Well that is just what this past camping trip has taught us.


















I know, we put out all sorts of car-related media but trust us when we tell you we are not a "car crew" or "car page". Consider us a group of friends who want to be the constant reminder to the rest of the world that it is good to have hobbies and interests that keep you and your friends close, but also that life is far too valuable to confine yourself to a single lifestyle.


























When you want to BBQ but stance is life.


















Trail-less hiking with James




We came across this mini statue of Sun Wukong that had been placed on a rock by previous hikers (click here to read more about Sun Wukong)






As long as civilization has existed there has always been a void inside every man and woman. The major difference between then and now is that times were a lot simpler back in the day and people would acknowledge that void by doing something with their lives to overcome it. Progression is natural; we have seen it generation after generation and this has all been the subconscious result of overcoming that inevitable void.

In this modern & technologically advanced society we are given all the tools we need to succeed in every aspect that we can think of, but it all comes with a price.. A motto that my mother had embedded into my head as a teenager was to live life in moderation. At first I did not fully and wanted to just live it up, but now as a young adult I see what she means.






We are very lucky to be living in a generation where we have everything we need available right at our fingertips but like my mother said, "live in moderation". We are quick to try and tuck away that feeling, that void that creeps in from time to time by quickly checking our phones, refreshing our news feeds, or posting a pointless "selfies" in hopes of feeling that euphoric rush we once felt when we were young. 

Yes, we do feel that rush when we do these things but the feeling only lasts as long as the moment, which is very short. Sad, isn't it? Not really, because you are not aware of it. Although I'm not sure which is more unfortunate; the fact that we cannot come to terms with ourselves and just accept the reason why we do these things? Or the fact that we are completely aware of why we do these things yet continue to because it's all we know?








This whole write-up probably feels completely offbeat in comparison to the photos from our camping trip, so let me go ahead and sew this all together. I went into this camping trip with a lot on my mind and certain things were bothering me, but after hiking with James and having an interesting talk at the top of the mountains my whole mindset had been changed for the better which is exactly why I wanted to share this experience with you wherever you are.














Patterns in nature












A great philosopher, Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) had argued that people were naturally cruel, greedy and selfish. For centuries people have argued over that belief and cannot understand why it is such a historic quote. But in the past years I have been able to completely understand it. Most of us (like myself) consider ourselves to have what seems to be an endless sea of problems anywhere from our phone battery always being low to things not going as planned. 

We indulge ourselves in self-pity whether we are aware of it or not, and that is completely selfish of us. We are blessed enough to even be able to think all, let alone feel. Sometimes the things we do to avoid our problems or feelings may seem harmless but can come off as cruel to others, especially to the ones you love. Not everyone will understand this just like the way that not everyone will understand you; that's where we need to find a balance. 






We take everything in our day-to-day lives for granted and often wait for drastic measures before ever truly appreciating what we have which usually results in a high/low outcome. We cannot be living our lives that way forever, we as a species need to understand that everyone and everything on this planet has a purpose. We might suddenly realize it, it might take years to realize, or we might never know what the purpose was. But that's the beauty of life.

In relation to the trail-less hike James and I took, we did not know where we were going or where our climb would take us. We honestly did not even know why we climbed so high in the first place. But along the way we were able to evaluate our existence and purpose. Looking at each rock that was toppled over the other reminded us that even the smallest pebble held the same significance and the boulder that was leaning against the dead tree trunk. 














With all things considered, we understood that as individuals we tend to get caught up with ourselves in our subconscious self-centered state. Sometimes we need to realize that we are never truly alone and do not necessarily need to seek purpose or "happiness". These are all things that should come naturally whether you like it or not.














So stop searching, and start living.
