Lefty Guns Ruggiero is a wreckless motherfucker. A pussy lover and a money maker, he likes his friends to call him Lefty. He lives his life fast: “excess” is the word that guides his choices. This short EP is
a time stamp of a day in his life. During the first track, the title track, Lefty wakes up in an unknown apartment, sharing the bed with food leftovers and traces of a hardcore party. Eyes wide open despite
the hangover, he snorts a line for breakfast and gets ready to kick another day in the butt. Feeling invincible, he jumps on his race car: a car so fast that he usually drives it with a jet helmet on to not die
during its rides. Speeding through the city, he does what he knows best conquering the world with his iPhone.During the second track, while he is slashing fatture like a real samurai, he gets distracted
by an incredibly good-looking girl. He decides to try his best and hook her up. She’s into him and so they decide to spend the day together, getting to know each other. The third track represents a breakpoint for the entire story. Lefty and Mimi, that’s the name of the girl, discover that they share the same passion for drugs. She asks him to smoke together and he accepts it. They share what Lefty thought was weed. But he was wrong. The joint was filled with PCP: Lefty starts tripping. The hallucinations get him hard, so hard that he starts questioning what is even real or not. It is now night again and we are heading toward the fourth track. Mimi is not there anymore and Lefty doesn’t remember anything. That invincible feeling is not there anymore. Still trippin’, he feels sadness. A deep sensation of worthlessness pervades him. He lies in the middle of a street, eyes closed, and starts remembering the lessons of his old master, Mentor
K., the only one he ever listened to before getting so braggadocio to betray him and continue his path to conquer the world on his own. Fuck Mentor K., ‘cause the trip is now over, and the only sentiment
that Lefty feels in the fifth track is something bittersweet. He knows that the no-buenos of his life are quite some but he also knows that if he ever obtained something in his life is just because of his sacrifice and his perseverance. The city starts to be washed by the morning light and Lefty start feeling confident once again. He gets in his jet car, without the helmet on because this is his favorite time of the day to experience his hometown and he wants to feel the fresh air on his face. Everything is possible. With the foot on the gas and a smile on his face, Lefty is ready to start another day, make new money, bank new pussies, one step closer to his dream. But the…a crash and everything goes black. The police approach his car, destroyed in the middle of the road. The smell of burned gas is strong. The silence is
surreal. They open the door of the car to take out his dead body but there is nothing inside.
Is he dead? Is he alive?
