Notes: The seeds of "All of My Friends are Dead" were almost certainly planted during my time performing as All Hail Steezy!, the premier renegade rap superstar of the South Bay, circa 2013.

The song possesses a delightfully bouncy hip-hop vibe, which is stylistically indicative of what "Up for Nothing, Down for Anything" sounds like as a whole.

"All of My Friends" also possesses more structure than previous releases: fully-formed verses, choruses and breakdowns reveal themselves over a simple yet solid two-part backbeat, a sign that the cries of "We like what we hear, we just want more of it" provided by some Prichard Nixon fans over the last few years have been heard.

As for the lyrics, consider them a bold statement of intent, an expression of desire for a little upward financial mobility. (I feel there are many people out there who will relate to this sentiment given the current state of our national situation.)

Or, put another way: "My wallet is a graveyard for old receipts, tumbleweeds and dead cockroaches. There ain't no money to be found here." (As conveyed by my good friend Ching Poo Leong.)

Finally, to create the album cover I visited my financial institution and withdrew all the money I have earned via sales of Prichard Nixon music to date. I then spread it all over my house and took a picture.

If you have ever financially contributed to the Prichard Nixon empire through the purchase of music or through other means - those who have know who they are - thank you. This album cover is for you. :)

Thank you as always for tagging along on this artistic experiment of mine. Enjoy the music, spread the word and I will catch you all on the next one.

Sincerely,

Prichard Nixon
