Best Reality Check (in my opinion)
Haven’t been on this sub in a while so it may be like a regular takes about thing but the best reality check is plugging your nose and inhaling through your nose. If you do this in a dream you’ll still inhale through your nose even with it plugged (which is a very strange feeling btw) just wanted to share this. I read it on here a long time ago but didn’t see many other mentions of it at the time. It’s never not worked for me and I’m not sure if it’s possible for it not to. My dreams are crazy vivid experiences on their own like I’m in a story book anyway, but this may help people with needing a good consistent reality check

Cam O'bi: “I never actually listened to ‘30 Hours’ while we were making ‘Reality Check’… It was in the back of my head, but my memory of songs strays from the song itself, and I kind of like that because it lets me make something different. I did the drum beat similar to how I remember ‘30 Hours’ and it ended up sounding nothing like it [Laughs]. I loved it though.
I played [Eryn Allen Kane] ‘Shadow Man,’ and she was so amazed she ended up texting Noname, like, ‘Oh my god! I love everything! I’d love to be a part of it.’ That’s what made Noname think, ‘We should probably see if she’d sing on ‘Reality Check.’ Neither of us had thought of that before.
Eryn produces her songs and she doesn’t even know it… She’ll beatbox the drums, imitate a trumpet part she hears, then she’ll sing the lead. She’ll take songs from that to an actual band. It’s like she creates a map. She thinks because she doesn’t know music theory she can’t be a producer, but she is.
Eryn Allen Kane: It was the Friday before Telefone was scheduled to drop… I performed a little song with Saba at Lollapalooza, then scrambled to the studio to record the hook. I finished recording within a couple hours and sent it back. The project came out that Sunday. I’m honored to have been a part of such a beautiful body of work. I adore Fatimah and am inspired by her lyricism.

Akenya: When she showed me the song, I was so inspired by the music and the theme of the lyrics that I was instantly wanting to create. I wrote the melody in like five minutes, lyrics in ten. I recorded it a day later, when I was actually really sick, so I’m glad I ended up being able to pull it together because the album dropped about five days later! Telefone is truly a labor of love, friendship, talent, and Chicago innovators. The album sounds cohesive and beautiful because that was the energy surrounding the project.
