This family oriented track was inspired by a leisurely jog up and down the stairs, whilst reading a brisk column of the New York- NAAAHHHHHH this is some rappity rap rap, hip hopple, to encourage drinking, smoking, and generally anti-exercise activities.  I can tell you this because its produced by just that sort of individual, Jewbei, who is routinely up to no good in England.  Check us out @ benchclique.com for more motivation. Sucker!!!

Lyrics:

Verse One Written by Vague 

 I'd like you all to close your eyes and forget the space your in/ 
 Engage your diaphragm prepare your lungs to start taking in/ 
 Just breathe slowly, nothing else in the room it's you only/ 
 Now that the mood is set, I'd like to show you respect/ 
 By humbly, requesting your attention/ 
 The things that I mention could help you in your in your old age like a pension/ 
 If you need divine intervention/ 
 The Omniverses here to put your mind in dimensions/ 
 That you ain't use to, and the things we do-do/ 
 Might be considered unusual, but I love to hang loose/ 
 Like Hawaiians in Honolulu/ 
 The nineties was rocking Fubu/ 
 Ain't trying watch what you do,/ 
 This is more nutritious than Calaloo/ 
 Do what we have to do, as long as it's tangible/ 
 The OMV got plans to do, actual things like bringing facts to you/ 
 You never had a clue, you're living purely on instinct just a like a animal/ 
 With logic applied you'll find the balance inside and.../ 

 Verse Two Written by Bad FX 

 I'm not the type of cat you wanna fool with/ 
 Nor am I the type to listen to you chattering your bullshit/ 
 Us emcees could make u do a full flip/ 
 Dropping them gems never rapping bout cool whips (whys that)/ 
 Coz there's way too much of that already/ 
 And everybody’s breading everybody (yea that was heavy)/ 
 Yea right except your flow wasn't air tight/ 
 Soon as you peeped them omniverses you got scared right/ 
 We a different category making emcees feels inferior but that's another story/ 
 Shit you had to bore me, didn't ya with your bullshit literature/ 
 I can't wait to get rid of ya my, people will finish ya/ 
 Badder than Dillinger slamming a pill in ya JD and coke/ 
 Serious flow never take me for jokes/ 
 Forever coming with thy newness even over old school hits/ 
 I'm not the type of cat you wanna fool with/ 

 Verse Three Written by Teknical Development.IS 

 From Cats and Dogs to human beings/ 
 Walking loving on this planet/ 
 Nothing but love/ 
 Skill on the page/ 
 Expression displayed/ 
 Connection is made/ 
 Cut the chords to face the silent life/ 
 Bless this stillness/ 
 Painful when this silence whispers/ 
 Poisonous seeds/ 
 Error manifest the new path/ 
 A lust in action/ 
 Hard to address/ 
 Easy does it/ 
 Calm and correct/ 
 Display the arms of deaths grip/ 
 We never slip/ 
 Everywhere Tek exist/ 
 Far from unique/ 
 Bright lights that light the mind/ 
 No time but the now to express/ 
 The wrath of the math/ 
 Omniverses we never lost/ 
 We always found/ 
 Present before the seconds form realities equations/

K-otix — Legendary
www.rappersiknow.com/legendary
Official "Lonely Piano" Video — www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS1xGMxV5XY

We're happy to announce the upcoming release of the new project from K-OTIX — "Legendary"! You can pre-order it right from this page. $30 for your choice of color vinyl, digital download, a 11" x 17" poster, and a sticker. 

In case you've been wondering what the crew has been up to since Universal dropped, here goes: They jumped into about 3 world tours to promote the album. The ARE dropped Hustler's Theme while Big Mon and Damien came with The Black Album. Then they teamed up with Kay of the Foundation for Ethos. Then The ARE started producing for Keyshia Cole, Lil Kim and LL Cool J, to name a few. Mon and D brought 48 Seasons to life, along with the internet-breaking "George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People". The ARE kept producing for people that you know, then released his Here, My Dear album flip to show you that he still got it. Damien got his hands dirty working with H.I.S.D., Radio Galaxy, and Kashmere Don (aka D Rose). The latter even resulted in a collaboration called RandleRose.

Which brings us back to Legendary. At some point a couple of years ago, they slowed down time long enough to begin putting together the long-awaited OG trio follow up to Universal. 

The cover was custom crafted by the extremely talented Houston based mixed media artist and painter Santos Guerrero. We're even offering the vinyl in 2 colors, because no buying decision should be that easy. If you can't decide, just get both. Of course, the download is included in the price. You wanna keep the wax clean, right?

Anyhow, this is the official start of the journey towards Legendary. Now, we have  to tell you - the vinyl pressing plant told us to expect the records in about 15 weeks, which means that we anticipate them going out to you in January. We'll definitely let you know when the vinyl is on its way from the plant, and will ship everything IMMEDIATELY upon receiving it.

You might want to order it as soon as possible. We're only doing 300 pieces. And if recent history has taught us anything, it's going to go FAST. Thanks in advance for supporting this project, and thanks for rocking with KO for nearly a quarter of a century.
