Some random meshup of several of his songs in some kind of freestyle -- from around 2005 I think.

Edan is probably the most talented and clearly the most creative musician in the broad field of hip-hop music.

Songtext (as far as I understand it):

I be the rap beautician, to facts you listen

blast through rhythms like hash through your system

true in living wisdom, well off and witty

using gods sleeve, write the hell of the city

see my elegance

dining on the periodic table crawl for elements

the universe designs my intelligence

drop science down a bottomless pit

one swift, doing handstands on pyramid tips

the sun splits the waterfront causing prismatic effects

butterflies come alive and have sex

birds fly out of my top hat slow

to join the brilliance of wilderness and soar through the congo

speak the convo to colors and shapes

my wordchoice is turquoise I love to create

my art hurdles over the clouds in dark purple

red mixes yellow and blue in sharp circles

paint splashes over your conscious like canvas

molecules rule unseen by deep glances

trace your physical form to that of a mantis

think of all varieties of life on the planet

glaciers and avalanches, they have a dance with

gravity

the gods put their lips on the galaxy

man interrupts true love and acts savagely

juice from the fingers of zeus cause calamity

the truth won't fade with the artificial calendar

I be the balancer, the chance like answer

the dancefloor dominator, flavor complicator

accomodate the great, await the day to fantasia

the soul of a giant, I'm bold, and defiant

my science, electrify the unplugged appliance

shoot my television, walk outdoors and explore

with the innocence of kids aged four

I frolic in the sand with the colony of ants

my particles expand building oxygen in plants

from Rakim the Cash(?), to Lakim Shabazz

I'm logically advanced with the knowledge of the past

motivate a girraffe, wrote a page and a half

known for paving the path and the waves with a staff

the music is rap, my favorite color is math

the plan of attack is bless the planet with wax

the caterer, the Darth Vader with the crossfader

you should never be afraid of the harm from armed laborers

we stay patient as we lay the foundation

in a simple composition for the future generations

FUCKINGAMAZING through the eliquence, upon recognition of the omnibenevolence graphing temperments, derivitives of gods means of relevance by means of eternal recurrances implied responsibilities require no assurances so haters of the greater go and procure their insurances being non-linear we race the intergers, with fractral implications innevitably await debates and hate between the nations for the love of our creation, we remotely mold the future refused stones, condoned the main feature
