With his first mixtape project, 2007’s Customized Greatly Vol. 1, the 16 year-old lyricist proved that he had the potential to be more than just another Myspace artist. He followed up that project a year later with Customized Greatly Vol. 2 which produced “I’m Right Here” and “It’s All Good,” two songs that picked up around the city. By junior year, he realized that this was something that he not only wanted, but needed to do. So he traded in the hard wood for the stage, dusted off his rhyme book and started getting even more serious about his music. He was making a name for himself amongst the younger crowd in Los Angeles, but now he has his sights set on greater gains. Vol. 1 was somewhat of an experiment, Vol. 2 a test, but now the teen-aged spitter is ready for graduation.
Sleeping in Class, his third solo project, and arguably his most evolved yet, promises to be a culmination of the lessons he’s learned over the last couple of years. The tape intends to prove that while the young artist is not quite seasoned, his potential is definitely ripe.

Life rhymes
That’s all I know
That’s all I do
[Verse 1: Casey Veggies]
Yo – I got some problems that you can’t relate
We got Serato at the spot, though
And we party with some bottles, go full throttle, that’s the motto
If I pull up, she gon’ follow
Used to hit, all them potholes
Picked up the tour van in Chicago now we pullin’ up in drop Rolls
She passin’ out, I be revivin’ hoes
I gotta sit down, we passin’ out at the Bellagio
She hand it to me like I audit that
She hand it to me, I’m up the middle, see my quarterback
Been hittin’ sit ups, runnin’ laps, tryna get my core intact
‘Cause I look around, and my elders teach me time’ll pass
‘Cause it’s been fast since the last time I got a hall pass
Said I was goin’ to the bathroom, but really, I just wanted to swag
Lunch time, everything fine
When the bell ring we’ll be doing the day
Either we gon’ make a dollar or we gon’ try to make away
[Hook: Casey Veggies]
My shit – that shit sound hard
After my show – she in my car
Started a hustle – now we stars
We hit the strip
She in my car, she in my car, she in my car
She in my car, she in my car, she in my car
She in my car, she in my car, her problems solved
Said this my shit – that shit sound hard
After my show – she in my car
Started a hustle – and now we stars
And now we stars
[Verse 2: Dom Kennedy]
So bring it to me like I ordered that
I’m downtown in my corner flat
Yeah – screamin’ “other people’s money, nigga”
So right now I don’t wanna rap
‘Cause I’m that nigga you don’t wanna jack
Yeah – she leave me, I don’t want her back
I got hoes, I don’t want her back
I got hoes, I don’t want her back
So shout out to Veggies
I’m not doin’ no feature for no nigga except me
My mom she love Pepsi, but me, I drink Beck’s, see?
Times are real hard, but the Lord will protect me
My niggas gon’ rep me, bitches gon’ text me
I’m fuckin’ with Lexi, on weekends especially
Write ‘til my hand hurt and then I go lefty
You want it? Come test me
And you’ll end up resting
[Hook: Casey Veggies]

Life rhymes
Life has its own rhythm that is different for everyone
That’s all I know
I only know what I have experienced in life
That’s all I do
I express my experiences and thoughts through my music
Yo – I got some problems that you can’t relate
I have issues that might not make sense to some people
I got some condos that be out of state
I own properties in different states
We got Serato at the spot, though
We have the right equipment for our music at the studio
And we party with some bottles, go full throttle, that’s the motto
We drink and party hard without holding back
If I pull up, she gon’ follow
Girls are attracted to the lifestyle and fame of musicians like Casey
Used to hit, all them potholes
I have worked hard and faced challenges to get to where I am
Picked up the tour van in Chicago now we pullin’ up in drop Rolls
From humble beginnings, I now have the means to travel luxuriously
She passin’ out, I be revivin’ hoes
Girls are impressed by my music and my personality
I gotta sit down, we passin’ out at the Bellagio
My hectic lifestyle sometimes catches up with me and I need to slow down to catch up with things
She hand it to me like I audit that
Girls hand me money as if I am a financial auditor
She hand it to me, I’m up the middle, see my quarterback
I am working hard and making things happen even while being in the middle of chaos
Been hittin’ sit ups, runnin’ laps, tryna get my core intact
I am working out to get back in shape
‘Cause I look around, and my elders teach me time’ll pass
I learn from my elders that time goes by fast
‘Cause it’s been fast since the last time I got a hall pass
It feels like it's been a short time since I was in school
Said I was goin’ to the bathroom, but really, I just wanted to swag
I used to sneak out of class to show off my style to others
Lunch time, everything fine
I used to have a good time during lunch break in school
When the bell ring we’ll be doing the day
When school is over we’ll enjoy our free time
Either we gon’ make a dollar or we gon’ try to make away
We will work hard to achieve our goals
My shit – that shit sound hard
I know that my music is good
After my show – she in my car
Girls are attracted to me and my music after my shows
Started a hustle – now we stars
We worked hard to get to where we are now
We hit the strip
We are going out to party and have a good time
She in my car, she in my car, she in my car
I have attracted a girl who is now with me
Her problems solved
Being with me and my lifestyle seems to solve her problems
And now we stars
We have achieved success in our careers as musicians
So bring it to me like I ordered that
Girls should come to me with respect
I’m downtown in my corner flat
I am living downtown in my own apartment
Yeah – screamin’ “other people’s money, nigga”
I am proud of my success and the money I make in my profession
So right now I don’t wanna rap
I don’t feel like rapping right now
‘Cause I’m that nigga you don’t wanna jack
People are envious of me and do not want to mess with me
Yeah – she leave me, I don’t want her back
If a girl leaves me, I do not try to get her back
I got hoes, I don’t want her back
I have other girls who are interested in me
So shout out to Veggies
A nod to Casey Veggies
I’m not doin’ no feature for no nigga except me
I am not interested in collaborating with anyone else
My mom she love Pepsi, but me, I drink Beck’s, see?
I have different preferences than my mom
Times are real hard, but the Lord will protect me
Even though life can be hard, I believe in God watching over me
My niggas gon’ rep me, bitches gon’ text me
My friends support me and girls are interested in me
I’m fuckin’ with Lexi, on weekends especially
I spend time with a girl named Lexi, especially on weekends
Write ‘til my hand hurt and then I go lefty
I write music and lyrics until my hand starts hurting
You want it? Come test me
If someone wants to challenge me or my abilities, I welcome it
And you’ll end up resting
They will end up losing

Life Rhymes! Casey is way underrated. Dudes production is always dope and the flows are raw too. Only lames hate on this dude cuz they too ignorant to listen to something other than Drake or Lil Wayne or some other main stream artist. Life Changes Album and Fresh Veggies album. Get Familiar!
Anthony Galindo
