    From Substantial's fifth solo album, "Adultish", 1580 is a tribute to the late, shortlived Rap and Go-Go station, Flava 1580AM, and to the ups and downs of growing in Prince George's County in the 90s. Substantial teams back up with his friends, DMV Hip-Hop staples DJ RBI and T. Lucas over chill boom-bap production highlighting the nostalgic lyrics and razor-sharp cuts.

    Lyrics:
    I remember way back in the day
    I remember way back in the day
    Do you remember
    Taking y’all back way before this all happened
    Do you remember
    Let's take a trip way back in the day
    Never aimed to be a caricature
    Always working on my character, bruh
    People say they want the real and I’m here still but where is the love?
    Put on for P.G. 'fore I heard somebody rep where I'm from
    Worldwide I… get it done but I don’t overdo it
    Share my soul but I don’t want to lose it
    Wasn’t put here for your amusement
    You gon’ respect the man more than you respect the music
    From where your safety is determined by your address
    Some live long enough to be legends and gain some assets
    Though it’s rugged where we struggled through the madness
    Always knew we had more to offer although we had less
    Through it all, it was always me and my mother
    My sisters 'fore they moved out and occasionally my brother
    The homies and a radio that stayed on 1580
    TV on The Box, locked, hoping one day that they'd play me
    Nonstop sun… back when me rappin’ wasn’t as lucrative
    And hot ones wasn’t a show that they interview you in
    Hostile. No poetic justice only punitive
    Cops was… f**kin’ with us daily, we weren’t doing s**t
    Regardless, the Godless, treat you like a felon though
    Try’na to sell my demo so I kinda was selling dope
    What’s more addictive than the music? Acceptance
    So we learned to turn our curses into blessins
    It’s funny how souls are fed by starving artists
    No matter the road ahead, we make progress
    If you know, you know, you know?
    A lil’ flava for your soul, your soul, your soul! Keep on
    I write like it won’t be read, to be honest
    Live it up ‘fore I rest my head ‘cause nothing’s promised
    If you know, you know, you know?
    A lil’ flava for your soul, your soul, your soul! Enjoy
    A little kid from Fort Washington was always of Iverson
    Mall playing basketball in my David Robinsons
    I moved to PG County when I was five or somethin’
    Was rhyming some but wasn’t that biggie like Bedford Stuyvesant
    I had the butter timbs but Rick had the double souls
    We was like brothers so we would borrow each other's clothes
    Get the most girls numbers was our summer goals
    And when she looked down at my feet, she’d be like what are thoOooose?
    Jonin’ was our favorite past time
    You better not be outside if it was past nine
    Dancing at the house party. Now you’re trying to smash huh?
    I was playing video games, Sega, and Capcom
    Fashion’s RP55
    And ain’t they play work the walls like 50 times?
    Paget’s corner pool parties it was really live
    With your peach rock Creek and some chili fries… uh
    Suitland High’s my alma mater I was brought up
    ‘Round a lot of different problem starters thought about just how to solve them
    Calm, and never sort of bothered even when in hotter water
    Taught to keep it cooler than when you’re wearing and Eddie Bauer Parker
    We would park up at the park and just spark up
    Wasn’t really long before a Freestyle would start up
    Run back and do my homework. Think of how my day be
    Turn on the radio and just vibe to 1580
    It’s funny how souls are fed by starving artists
    No matter the road ahead, we make progress
    If you know, you know, you know?
    A lil’ flava for your soul, your soul, your soul! Keep on
    I write like it won’t be read, to be honest
    Live it up ‘fore I rest my head ‘cause nothing’s promised
    If you know, you know, you know?
    A lil’ flava for your soul, your soul, your soul! Enjoy
    Flavaaaaa!!! On the mix
    Take you back to 1580
    You heard it on the radio
    Taking y’all back when before this all happened
    Radio! Flava 1580
    Take you back to 1580
    Back when before this all happened
    Do you remember
    Back when before this all happened
    Flava 1580, the assault on commercial rap radio continues on y’all
    Keep on
    Always first with the phat new beats, it’s flava 1580
    Keep on

    in my opinion in order to get money views , you need great music videos and little promotion so you'll get more subs m maan, you deserve much more than this, both of you, T.lucas as well
