On the evening of Friday the 13th, Aela Hopeful Monster dropped a dark two-track mini-mixtape When the Rain Bled My Stars, produced by Mistah 211 (stream below). It begins with a true untold story and ends with a spiderweb freeverse. The mixtape is available on all streaming platforms.

Never Told
(Based on a true story, Lyrics by Aela Hopeful Monster)
(Hook)
all the tricks
the sips – and the whips
I’m just over here
banging my new shit
I’ll make it drip
No wonder why I like to clip hoes
here’s,
my story that I never told
knew this bitch
British citizenship
he made me fall in love real quick
what I didn’t know
he had a girl back home
she said, while you’re gone
we wanna try a new game
switch it up
it’s kinda of a new thing
it’s all the same
there’s just one rule
gotta tell me
everything you do to her
how you make it purr
keep on those dim light
I’m watching every night
so hold your new bitch tight
she doesn’t need to know
this is between me and you
curious, what you’re gonna do to her
I’m over here
having my fun too
this is good for me
I see it’s good for you
(Hook)
all the tricks
the sips – and the whips
I’m just over here
telling you this fucked up shit
I’ll make it drip
no wonder why I like to clip hoes
well,
here it continues
one night we were walking home
moment we’re alone
he changes his tone
–
I’ve been trying to
–
have a moment with you
I think we can have a lot
Love, let’s give this a shot
he was unassuming
he was sweet
didn’t think
he knew what the fuck he was doing
tried to steal a kiss
sent him home with less
but I said yes to a date
and I sealed my fate
now I thug ’em
fuck ’em
never love ’em
take a band from ’em
drop bitches in lakes
before it’s too late
seal it with a kiss
Guess I’m still on my
black widow shit,
that bitch deserves less
(Hook)
all the tricks
the sips – and the whips
I’m just over here
banging my new shit
I’ll make it drip
no wonder why I like to clip hoes
here’s,
my story that I never told
the fucked up thing
collateral damage
lesson I learned
not every man is such a burn,
but hey,
let’s return to the plot
scarred me a lot
when he got home
took weeks then
hit me on the phone
said I love you
I told her we’re through
let’s continue
this time
Love, just me and you
Fuck you bitch,
felt like I was shot
wounded animal, I crawled into a box
I ran home
got my homies on the phone
get to DIA – I’m on my way
the next flight
can’t stay here another night
I hate to say
this boy got the best of me
I’m running away
(Hook)
all the tricks
the sips – and the whips
I’m just over here
banging my new shit
I’ll make it drip
no wonder why I like to clip hoes
here’s,
my story I never told
fast forward several months
I’m in Zurich – we have lunch
he tries to be friends
he’s got a new girl then
I’m upset
my pops was sick
I’m far from home
and things were going wrong
we get the check
raining – go outside
we try to stay dry
a hug followed by
an awkward kiss goodbye
I whispered fuck you bitch
started walking away
then tuned back to say
I think you’re moralless
I held my head high
held those tears from my eyes
I never let a mother-fucking hoe see me cry
with one finger
said my final goodbye
that’s my reason why
I like to clip hoes
(Hook)
all the tricks
the sips – and the whips
I’m just over here,
banging my new shit
I’ll make it drip
no wonder why I like to clip hoes
there’s,
my story that I never told
all I can say
Hoe, if your listening
you’re atheists
but Karma’s a real thing
what you put out there
comes back at you
penance will soon come to you
Lights
(Freestyle Lyrics by Aela Hopeful Monster)
Yo, this beat is so dirty
And I see the lights of this train
coming straight at me
Boy I never thought you’d put that band down
Thought you’d never put that fucking band down
Thought you’d never put that mother-fucking band down
I see those lights flashing at me from the background
I saw that star fall from above
Above my head
And then I thought:
This bitch,
she wants me dead
Cuz god said, girl
you’re pussy’s so bad
And I don’t know why
That boy,
he’s better off dead
I said God,
I don’t believe in you
So take my hand
I’ll dance with you too
And I walked on the stars in the night, and I came
I danced the moon away in the rain
I saw the flittering lights and the stars:
those dark Fae, were singing my bars
we danced the night away
And that boy,
he said
“I loved you so much,
but you walked away.
How’d we fall out of touch?”
Now he has a little boy of his own
He’ll grow up,
to find a girl he’ll love,
she’ll break his heart
And my heart’s been broken more than once or twice
So, I dance on the dark clouds every single night
And I love those flashing lights when they come
The train’s approaching me
I feel it ‘err long
I love feeling the night
The stars breath down my neck
I’m the chill up his spine in bed
I love the glass on my feet and I purr and I sing,
The jasmines whisper the sweetest things
The clouds and the pastels
They bleed through the air
The blood that ran down through my hair
And my locks,
They turned into spiderwebs
You thought that little girl was better off dead
But I resurrected
Cuz I loved that boy
I’m from the side of the tracks
he doesn’t adore
I’ll sit and watch him
just a moment more
he plays the keys
I drift to shore
