mujimuji I'm in Japan, and I'm deeply impressed by your songs. Recently I've been suffering from depresseion, but I feel relieved while I am listening to your music.

I'm also a musician, and I've got so much inspiration by your work! Thank you for keeping on creating. Favorite track: Pressure.

i am ray Dawuna can’t be stopped // never am I not surprised // I am dropped into a time and a space // space and time where I can’t predict what will occur // all I know is it will end // but before it does // I’ll get some beauty // a beauty indescribable // all I can do is post this review // and wait for the next Dawuna release // all I hope is I won’t be destroyed by then // I can bask again in a moment // indescribable

Trauma makes– Family trauma makes family drama I been moving By myself for some Time I’m moving Out from hood to hood For my brother I wished he would look at me As a brother and just not a tragedy And my mother We had fights And my father Try as he might With that work shit it’s always been hard for me And I hope that I get me some sympathy Family trauma Family drama makes Family drama Family trauma makes

You feel the current pushing you downward, oh where to go? I got my mind on my brace And water on my face It’s in my nose and in my mouth I hope I make it out of this drama Losing all my people Even from the steeple It’s hard to keep on keeping up bruh Even liquor in my cup I know that I be fucking up bruh, But I gotta suck it up I know my swimming kinda suck bruh And my flyings like a duck Down on my knees Down on monies, boy You feel the pain of your brain making fun of you I swear to god No pressure No stress but I’m stressed out I feel the weight of the world crushing down on me I’m tired, baby No pressure No stress but I’m stressed out Down on my knees Down on monies, boy

Unknown victim of brain trauma Injuries amidst the drama Do it again No memory so I do it again (unintelligible) Don’t remember No Memory cuz What I got is no memory In time I’m fucking with the idea of leaving (unintelligible) Think of my loved ones so I can’t be leaving You gon need your memory back Ian Find yourself some people who can nurse you back to health In event of the injury

Life he sends me up I send me outside It’s hard inside this cup It’s hard to be mine When he sends me up He sends me outside And when he sets me down I still come back around No flava Without the bud in the glass food is hard to savor No paper Medicate my trauma away, maybe that’ll save him If I go too hard Then tell me bout moderation If I ghost on my business Then me as enemy I’ll see me in the sunlight Life he sends me up I send me outside It’s hard inside this cup It’s hard to be mine When he sends me up He sends me outside And when he sets me down I still come back around

about

found.ee/dawunaAFLM

"For African Family Laptop Musick, I was healing from a traumatic head injury that gave me a later amnesia diagnosis, so I don’t remember more than a couple small flashes of memory from the recording/construction of this project. I know I wanted to make a low-fidelity concept piece about my family life at the time, compositionally simple, but necessarily abstracted. This is the last lil offering from a very personal side of myself before I give y’all something big. Enjoy.”
