LYRICS:

I don't want to be this way -
Why do you make me HAVE to say EVERYTHING.
[the quiet part out loud]

No definition of same - 
your win condition can never fulfill.
(unless you're keeping track of what's on paper)

The lids of your eyes are super-glued to the past.
(I wonder - what's staring back?)
[the quiet part out loud]

"I tell it straight with the facts"
Well you can KISS MY ASS.
(kiss my ass)
full stop.

"A Sad State of Affairs" is the second collaborative single release from the Herbaliser's latest album, THERE WERE SEVEN. The track features George the Poet, a very different and interesting young man : 21 years old, hailing from a housing estate in North West London, born to Ugandan parents and currently reading Politics , Psychology and Sociology at Cambridge University. George Mpanga's words betray an intellect and wisdom beyond his years.

Starting out rapping over grime beats, George soon realised that the more open form of spoken word slam poetry was a more effective medium of expression for him.

Dismayed with the current slew of rappers who spit negativity and consumerism with robot voices over uninspiring beats, on "Sad State", George takes aim at both them and the industry that continues to churn them out of its rap-star machine.

Coming from the generation that nobody seems to want to listen to, George is a voice amongst a few young British wordsmiths standing up to be counted, demanding an audience to hear what they have to say.

The E.P. has remixes from Irn Mnky (DJ Shadow's current favourite UK producer), a hip-hop remix by Liverpool's cult Hip-Hop guru Jenome , plus an epic remix of "The Lost Boy" by The Legendary Danny K- an enigmatic character who gained notoriety as one of the pioneers of streaming trip hop beats in the early days of the internet. Lastly, a reading of the lyrics by George, delivered as poetry.

The Lost Boy - ft Hannah Clive (The Legendary Danny K Remix)

"During the production of an album, sometimes you do some tunes that kind of go off road, and don't fit with the main artistic direction... 
You know it, but just for fun and sudden burst of inspiration, you finish the track...

Mastered @ kasablanka by my man BLANKA from La Fine Equipe &  Jukebox Champion !

This track is dedicated to my partner MAMBO , the " Pura Vida " artworker and a brazilian music lover ...

Pendant l'élaboration d'un nouvel album , vous faite parfois des titres qui ne rentrent absolument pas dans sa direction artistique ..Vous le savez mais pour le plaisir de cette soudaine inspiration  , vous l'aboutissez ...

Ce titre est dédié à mon partenaire Mambo , à l'origine de tout les artworks " Pura Vida " et un amoureux de musique brésilienne ...

EDIT 9/18/2013: Crazy that I started this track like two years ago. I just reuploaded this tune with some fat new bass kicks I synthesized rather than sampled like the old version and some fresh tweaks on the mixdown. Enjoy!
