Sydney duo Mind Over Matter return with new single ‘What They Say’ – featuring the vocal talents of hip hop stalwarts Bliss N Eso.

Bliss N Eso are long time touring buddies and friends of Mind Over Matter and will also star in the upcoming video.

Mind Over Matter are Willow AKA Rowan Lockyer and Smiles AKA Martin Brown. After meeting as year 7 classmates in the school yard at St Pius X College, the duo began practicing their freestyle skills together and have been putting in the hard yards ever since.

The duo have toured with some of Australia’s best hip hop talent including Bliss N Eso, 360, Pez and Drapht. Renowned for their narrative wit and smooth moves, Mind Over Matter’s dynamic live shows consistently win them new fans.

The upcoming album also features triple J airplay smash and lead single ‘Real Life’. With vocals by Melbourne singer K.I.K.I, the single peaked at #8 on the iTunes Hip Hop charts in 2013.

Lyrics:

We all knew you well
Now we can't find you
You disappeared one night
You didn’t leave a clue

You never wanted much
Never tried to be seen
You helped everyone
See what freedom really means

You barely said a word
But we all understood
You lifted our hearts
We’d bring you back if we could

You said your work was done
You taught us all we know
You slipped into the crowd
But we could see your halo

You never wanted much
Never tried to be seen
You helped everyone
See what freedom really means

You barely said a word
But we all understood
You lifted our hearts
We’d bring you back if we could

You touched us all
Ya made us whole
How’d you see
Inside our souls?

You touched us all
Ya made us whole
How’d you see
Inside our souls?

You never sought out fame
Glory passed you by
You only worked for peace
You said we have to try

You never wanted much
Never tried to be seen
You helped everyone
See what freedom really means

You barely said a word
But we all understood
You lifted our hearts
We’d bring you back if we could

You barely said a word
But we all understood
You lifted our hearts
We’d bring you back if we could
