"I'm just going to play another one about prison."
I'm not going to get caught up on this opening quote from Ceschi but I think it is somewhat important to mention that the past four years of events (enlighten yourself) in his personal life have inadvertently affected his music, and his record label, Fake Four Inc.
But with that said, everything about him when we met up at The Echo last month before his show reflected nothing but positivity, from news of an LP release just around the corner to his humbling demeanor were all true testaments of his ability to surpass adversity, and even strive in its wake. At this point as if to even laugh at the fucking people that tried to drag him down. Much of that strength without a doubt stems from the unconditional support that he has from his family/friends/fans who did everything they could to see to it that he was released before the end of an unconstitutional 18 month sentence after being setup in a small scale Christmas weed sting. Fans wasted no time jumping into action when Fake Four asked for a $15,000 pledge goal via Indiegogo to assist in keeping the label afloat while Ceschi was away, but instead of 15k they were greeted by more than $50,000 in generous pledges during short duration of the Free Ceschi campaign. This gesture alone should go a long way towards the validation of Ceschi, his music, and Fake Four if you aren't already familiar.
Verses like these below from "Say Something", a never before heard track and World Premiere from his forthcoming album, are exactly the sort of songwriting that made me a fan since my initial introduction with "Half Mast" off of 2010's The One Man Band Broke Up LP, and why I have remained one ever since. Far beyond just the lyrics alone is the flawless delivery of these lyrics that really drive their meaning home. You don't just listen to this kind of music, you LISTEN to this music and it won't take long to realize the legitimacy behind the words he is speaking.
"Ive got friends who would rather end society,
cause there's no way we're fixing these flaws.
And they're starting to make far more sense to me now,
cause we're lazy and used to what's wrong.
It's been embedded inside us since our first breath,
so we're destroying the world where we live.
But i'm sitting here watching a T.V. in bed,
wondering why I lack happiness."
The night we shot this session at The Echo, I listened to legendary indie hip-hop artist, Sole, praise Ceschi for what he had done for him and his career, and for independent hip-hop as a whole. We're talking a master of his craft who sets a bar that most only dream about reaching. There's no doubt that he will go down as one of the best in many of eyes and hopefully his music will continue to reach the masses it deserves.
Enjoy this session, as it was a pleasure to create! The best way to support and to experience Ceschi is by seeing him live, I can attest to him putting on one of the best performances you will ever witness, no bullshit.

I can't get enough of Ceschi and Pat The Bunny, I need more amazing folk punk. Love all Fake Four content also.
I wish this song was the AD over EVERY youtube video. I think a lot of people would appreciate this
There are artists i listen to a lot more, because punk related and experimental stuff like "Babelfishh" is a bit more my thing. But whenever I take a few steps back, I will get pretty emotional. Ceschi was one of the first artists i discovered in this niche back then. So many years. Fuck... I hope we all reach smiling the 90. He was always there. So many times I thought "What a wonderful person" While the music business was corrupting so many people, Ceschi always looked back and asked himself "who have I forgotten"? You have done so much right. The only thing that matters are our friends and of course defeat the bad ones. Thanks for everything. Love, Julian ★🅰
Thank you for existing, ceschi
So glad I came across this video. Just sent it to a friend who's never heard Ceschi before. He was blown away...
OMG how am I supposed to wait for the new album now. This is so fucking good.
RIGHT!?!

Thanks for watching!
ceschi is a fucking beast! Saw him in Denver....Dopest show ive ever been too. Love how he gets the crowd involved in all of his shows....Creates a totally awesome atmosphere....Ceschi is #1 Artist in my book. Keep them tracks coming!
26Lucid couldn't agree more! i've seen 100s and 100s of shows and he is definitely one of the most engaging I've ever witnessed.
I saw Ceschi with Cage a few months ago. Blew me away.
Who is Cage?!
I bet
prison is big business and is bullshit. but I can say this is one of the only great things that come out of prison. thank you cecshi. I'm glad I gave u a 2nd listen cause you are one of the landmarks in my life I needed during a dark time.
oh and I thought or think prison killed my free thought I call it, but maybe I'm just looking at it wrong. inspiration comes in the weirdest ways these days.
keep hip hop disposable.... heroes..
