About "Pillars":

"Form an undeniable team, we utilize diabolical schemes..."

MindsOne reunites with legendary Low Budget Crew producer Kev Brown to offer hip-hop connoisseurs another round of boom bap driven instrumentals and lyrical inspiration in the form of "Pillars". Following the success of their critically acclaimed album "Self Reliance", the MC duo of KON Sci and Tronic began conceptualizing an exclusive new EP with the bass-minded beat maker's talents in mind. Concise and thoughtful, "Pillars" explores notions of loyalty and mortality, laments the stagnation of modern day musical creativity, all while celebrating the limitless possibilities of the culture. A tall order for a compact record, but the combination of Kev Brown's instrumental virtuosity and MindsOne's authority over the spoken word aims to achieve just that. The EP features a guest appearance from the ingenious Homeboy Sandman along with instrumentals from up and coming producer Sam Brown, and a brand new remix of "Legion of Doom" by MindsOne stalwart KON Sci.

---

🎤 [Intro]

(Yeah!)
Uh-huh (woo!)
S.O.M. stand up (let’s go!)
(Flak! Flak! Flak!)


---

🎶 [Hook x2]

I'm not the one you wanna test, cuz I aim for ya head (pow, pow!) fuck ya vest,
Have you ninjas 100 miles and runnin’ (skrrt!),
Ninjas smoke ten packs of Newport when they know I’m coming (uh!),
Ninjas on TV, bring ‘em to my world (my world!),
Ain’t nobody exempt, that’s on my word! (facts!)


---

📝 [Verse 1]

Look—step in the spot, whole block on freeze (freeze!),
Eyes red, mind sharper than a guillotine (slice!).
Hood prophet, every line’s a sermon (preach!),
Catch you slippin’—chalk marks where you learnin’ (pow!).

Fuck courtrooms, I don’t fear no jury (nah!),
God body in the streets, whole aura too sturdy.
Catch a ninja on the ‘Gram flexin’ with a chain (what?),
I’ll pull up live and direct, make the reel with the flame (BRRRAH!).

Concrete jungle, survival’s my thesis (facts!),
Enemies prayin’ I fall but they faith is in pieces (ha!).
Keep my name out your mouth if you ain’t with the set (Bizniz!),
‘Cause one disrespect, boy, that’s Russian roulette (click-clack!).


---

🎶 [Hook x2]

I'm not the one you wanna test, cuz I aim for ya head (boom!) fuck ya vest,
Have you ninjas 100 miles and runnin’ (run!),
Ninjas smoke ten packs of Newport when they know I’m coming (uh!),
Ninjas on TV, bring ‘em to my world (my world!),
Ain’t nobody exempt, that’s on my word! (facts!)


---

📝 [Verse 2]

Ayo, death on arrival, I don’t send no warnings (none!),
Mask on—like it’s Halloween every morning (spooky!).
A demon in the booth, angel wings on fire (burnin’!),
Truth in my veins, I was raised from the wire (real!).

Check the scoreboard—ain’t no ties in this (nah!),
If you move like a bitch, get a .9 in ya ribs (blat!).
From the Ville to the Bay, my rep solidified (530!),
Try to cross Bizniz? That’s career suicide (ha!).

All my dawgs militant, mindstate vicious (grrr!),
Glocks like chefs, cook beef in ya kitchen (cook it!).
Ain’t no squares in my circle, homie—we mobbin’ (mob!),
Touch one of mine, guarantee we got problems (bang!).


---

🎶 [Bridge]

(Ayy, hold up, hold up!)
Run that back, let the bassline ride (ride, ride!).
Enemies scatter like roaches in the night (skrrt!).
If you ain't built for this life—don’t try (don’t do it!).
Real recognize real—fake ninjas gon’ die (facts!).


---

🎶 [Hook x2]

I'm not the one you wanna test, cuz I aim for ya head (pow, pow!) fuck ya vest,
Have you ninjas 100 miles and runnin’ (run, run!),
Ninjas smoke ten packs of Newport when they know I’m coming (yeah!),
Ninjas on TV, bring ‘em to my world (bring ‘em!),
Ain’t nobody exempt, that’s on my word! (word!)

📝 [Verse 3]

Street soldier, with a general’s vision (salute!),
My pen like a pistol, every bar’s ammunition (bang!).
You duckin’ and dodgin’—I’m huntin’ relentless (woo!),
Your mama light candles, prayin’ for repentance (facts!).

No surrender, no retreat—bitch, I’m in too deep (too deep!),
Made money in my sleep while you countin’ sheep (ha!).
You actors on screen, I’m the real-life clip (clip, clip!),
Unload sixteen and it sound like a hit (boom!).

From the dirt where the snakes hiss loud (sss!),
Only kings wear crowns in a room full of clouds (smoke!).
I’m the last one breathin’ when the war get raw (raw!),
Cross Bizniz once, won’t be breathin’ no more (Bizniz!).


---

🎶 [Hook x2 / Outro]

I'm not the one you wanna test, cuz I aim for ya head (pow!) fuck ya vest,
Have you ninjas 100 miles and runnin’ (run, runnin’!),
Ninjas smoke ten packs of Newport when they know I’m coming (woo!),
Ninjas on TV, bring ‘em to my world (my world!),
Ain’t nobody exempt, that’s on my word! (that’s on my word!)

(Yeah!)
Uh-huh (uh-huh!)
Flak flak flak flak—Bizniz! (Bizniz!)
Smoked Out Mafia, we here (we here!).
Outro fade (fade, fade…).

Life is a cruel joke…were you waiting for a punch line?

MindsOne connects with Belgium's DJ Iron on their newest endeavor, "Phaseology", and aim to examine the bigger picture. Why are we here?  Where do we go in the end? Is that an SP1200? Damn right. Is life too complex to condense into 40 minutes? Challenge accepted.

First, don’t look at life as the sum of its events. Think about it as a series of phases. Next, combine MindsOne’s handcrafted lyrical artistry with DJ Iron’s jazz infused boom-bap. Combine, two parts cynicism, one part mysticism, and add water. Then, sprinkle in a guest appearance by the sage John Robinson, throw in a heavy dose of turntablism from DJ Iron and MindsOne’s DJ Noumenon and Slim Deluxe, and the theory is complete.

"Phaseology" is the follow-up to MindsOne's 2014 critically acclaimed release, "Pillars," produced by Kev Brown. Journey along as Tronic and KON Sci explore the phases of life and create scenes, both real and imagined, to give listeners a bird’s-eye view. Relive childish fantasies and revisit irrational fears. Go to work and act like an adult. Ponder your existence and reflect on your life. Spoiler: It’s all gonna end. But not today.

We’re born alone, we die alone, etc. Talk to God if it’s too complex.

Phaseology
