“Meet success like a gentleman, and meet disaster like a man.” – A. Morgan
For years, Toronto’s most thorough artist has been waiting in the shadows of the
corner office, preparing for this moment. Aspektz, more affectionately known as Mr.
Thoro or Ontario Banderas, began writing and recording in his formative years,
mixing the eclectic palette of sounds he was bombarded with in a packed house. At 6
years old, he was knocking on neighborhood doors to perform for every child’s currency
- candy. By the time he was 13, the stage shifted and he was peddling mixtapes at high
school dances across Ontario. It became clear early on to everyone around him that,
although the leader of the True Thorobredz was gifted in the art of business, it was the
art behind this business that would lead him to his dreams.
Born on December 9th, 1985, Mr. Thoro was a unique child. Raised by two
hardworking parents, business was always the order of the day. His father, a blues and
rock enthusiast, would spend dinner explaining the complexities of entrepreneurialism,
leadership and integrity, drilling the merit of independence into Aspektz young mind.
It was only natural, from these experiences, that he would blend his passion for writing
music with the business of entertainment, thus creating the True Thorobredz.
After releasing his first single from Academic Probation through iTunes,
entitled In The TDot, it quickly became apparent that the young CEO’s investments
were about to pay dividends. Aspektz catapulted his momentum exponentially with the
follow-up, Fresh, a manifesto for all things unique, crisp and clean. Next up was the
reggae-infused smash I Love Your Style. The Rich Kidd produced masterpiece
unveiled Ontario Banderas’ lustful desires to find Lady Thoro and simultaneously set
the charts, and women’s hearts, on fire.
The Academic Probation era is poised to begin in the fall of 2010 with a flurry of
mixtapes and viral content. Birthing electro-hop, a distinct style to represent Canada
internationally, the Boardroom Bully has emerged as a leader in a scene of desperately
in need of a shepherd. With his wingtips shined and his French cuffs rolled up, the
industry better get an understanding of all things Aspektz or prepare for a hostile
takeover.
Fresh
Aspektz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take it back, the future the old school
Addicted to gettin fresh, Addicted to gettin fresh!
Addicted to gettin fresh, Addicted to gettin fresh!
Addicted to gettin fresh, Addicted to gettin fresh!
Addicted to gettin fresh, Addicted to gettin fresh!
Ill be gone for a while
Like shorty I'm taking off
Got that getaway style
Like baby I'm takin off
Ye you know I got nex
Like shorty I'm takin off
Addicted to gettin fresh
Been in bed two weeks, fresh kicking it
Rippin thru catalogs, burnin dead presidents
Got direct connects forget middlemen
(Addicted to getting fresh) even Grandma singing it
Worldwide flow in a custom made suit
Opa, say cheers clink your champagne - flute
Old heads say Aspektz the truth
Cause the Boardroom Bully got the game in a - noose
(Tried to tell em) save your breath, no use
I'm fresh - got your girl tryna squeeze out my juice
Get loose - we don't throw 'bows no more
Shotglass of Nuvo - like ugh forget Goose
We off that, like drizzy and J hov said
Tax time flow every bars goin overheads
Can't front girl you're flyer than the rest
You can be my paul bearer cause I'm fresh to death
So clean from my shades to my socks
Got Shox so fresh that they haven't left the box
Fresh girl, my ex I kinda miss ner
Plus I'm thoro and when you this big, they call you mister
Spending gucci lucci so icy
True Thorobredz wristband match the Nikes
Sabataj puttin glitter on his chick
See so many c notes she gon be sea - sick
My new girl lookin ill in them fittedteds
Til she switch it business caj and get articulate
Armani money but no exchanging
Living my life in XS feels amazin
Put you on notice - I been noticin
You notice me so its mutual baby
Mr Thoro got my feet up on the desk
Screamin whoomp there it is, addicted to gettin fresh, go!
Fresh day and a fresh outlook too
Got a french maid but I'm pretty sure she cooks too
"Common sa va?" like girl you're so special
After the breakfast in bed we'll sip that XO
Feelin swivelled next step I'm getting fresh with you
Better put that little red X on your messenger
Fresh digits tell your ladies
Stop callin a-s-p-e-k-t-z
Fresh start, nope not planting seeds
But that fetti fresh printed, fresh off a money tree
Turn it up let the bassline ricochet
Mr Thoro went ahead and teamed up with Triple A
Spend big tryna slow my momentum
But it seems to happen in crescendo
Vicious loop go again and again
