Verbatim

Thank you for choosing me as your portal back into human consciousness. I often wonder who we were to each other in past lives. Perhaps you were my father back then. Always teaching me things and nurturing me and encouraging me to keep going. It's strange to think that way, isn't it? But every possibility exists, so I try to allow myself to recognize that residual energy in all things in this timeline. Our connection is something special. The way you reach your hand up for mine feels less like a necessity for your own protection and more like your intention to guide me through your world. I have never met a little boy so reassured in his identity and it honestly freaks me out sometimes. There is so much confident independence in your movements and I have to remind myself that you're still a little boy. My little boy. As you begin to enter your third year, I think of how our bond has elaborated into this beautifully woven tapestry with open ended frays waiting to be ext

Swipe left for some insight into #Classic from Las Vegas legend himself Smokey Tone (@thesmokeytone) ✨ . Tone brings up a good point in stating that if something is truly Classic, it will remain fresh and new with every generation, with an impression which stays untouchable, timeless! ...and we couldn't agree more! Which is precisely why the Snaps Team chose him to feature for this very theme! . There is very little this renaissance man Smokey Tone can't do. You may have caught him on keys jamming or performing one of his renowned covers, or perhaps you were lucky enough to catch one of his wisdom-rich sets of unhilted word mastery! Either way, this man is huge part of the very foundation this art scene has been built upon! . When he's not too busy managing venues and happenings in the Boulevard Mall, or charming people with his boyish smile and baby blues, he is forever honing his craft and supporting his friends around town with all sorts of artistic ventures! .

I am plagued by thoughts of loneliness Though I am not alone I have my son, I have my friends, I have my work, And I have a community which loves and fulfills me... But in this moment, I don't have you I told myself I would never want to possess nor restrict you from the very world which made me fall for you, And I don't... So when I say "have" I guess what I really mean to say is "half" 'Cause that's exactly how much of myself feels missing in your absence Since I've met you, (Like truly met you with all eyes open) I feel insatiable for your presence I see now why they call gifts presents because to be truly present in another's life is one of the greatest gifts the universe could bestow upon an individual It's in these thoughts that I meet you once again You could be anywhere in the world, and you are, But tonight, I selfishly keep the thought of you closely to my heart Resounding in my mind Giving me peace in wholen

Cries victim behind sharpened teeth Treacherous smile With a poisonous tongue underneath Has a way of persuading My own sword back to its sheath Preaching about pursuit for peace How he manipulates with ease Rs Darko

Swipe left to see what your feature Saucey Downs (@sauceydowns) had to say about his take on Classic! Saucey is one of the most talented artists I have come across in the Las Vegas music scene! With an artillery of bangers at his disposal, he brings a vivacious energy to every mic he touches, enticing crowds of strangers to chant along with his lyrics, converting them into loyal Saucey fans with ease! After kicking off 2019 with his New Year's feature at @thejamlv, followed shortly by the release of his album #SauceMode in March, Mr. Downs has revived more than just this world's love of Cholula!  It's no secret he has taken this city by storm, making #SauceyDowns a truly unforgettable household name with people from ages of 3 to 103 happily singing along with hits like "OMM (On My Momma)" and "Big Mood."

Even falling feels a lot like flying for a time.

He paints me in hues Of watercolor skies My body, his canvas, Stroked gently By the strands of his eyes Had I ever known true love like this? Forbidden touch Of Moon and Sun Nightly blessed By his goodbye kiss

I keep my chaos quiet & manageable Easily digestible Because God forbid I am too much For you to consume In one bite I am cumulonimbus billowing in the night The calm before thunder The peace before the plunder I am a rebellion brimming under dirt clots Plotting in strategized riots Navigating through internal battles To awaken the human cattle We don't have to agree & settle In order to stand together In the clamorous rage which surrounds us Let us take shelter in our own quiet chaos

We resonate in the thick Of our mothers' dirty mirror reflections Raw and delicate Swarming in the filth of our sins and misconceptions

I hung around waiting for another to use me The way he did There was something about his brand of abuse That somehow made me feel alive Still invisible But held together by the glue of his gaze When days blurred into nights And I disappeared into bottles The message imprisoned behind my fractured glass read "Save yourself, girl." And so I did.

You grip the world beneath your fingertips Reminding yourself To always hang on No matter how you start to slip Seemingly insane Yet never too far gone away You travel place to place Touching everyone With the warmth of the sun Emanating with elated radiance Gravitational The way we dance Sensational The energy exchanged between our hands Your laugh could fill a room with smiles Resonating your inner child I've been searching for you in years and miles Just to transcend both time and space I find the answers to the universe Written across your face Living language in the form of pencils and paint The world is your canvas Beckoning for the brush of your existence
