Belterz, the new album project by Conscious Route is a social exploration of his personal experience of a changing society and culture, highlighting the insights of an ageing person living life and being an artist in the music Industry. 

Taking the perspective of an independent artist, the album features a host of top flight artists bringing different styles and perspectives as they share insights from their own journeys within the culture of the Scottish music scene.

The album musically and lyrically navigates a range of sounds and social topics, uniting the introspective with social observation, as we have come to expect from Conscious Route. Most of the production is handled battle rapper/ producer MacKenzie, with just two tracks (‘Two Guys’ produced by Tzusan and ‘Essence’ produced by Vagrant Real Estate) produced by others. Guest musicians, Chris Greive & Scott Bathgate also appear across 5 songs. With Scott Bathgate adding subtlety to ‘Ducks in a Row’ and an eerie edge to ‘Underground’, while Chris Greive brings extra trombone to the subtle style of ‘Late’, nuance to ‘Heart on Sleeves’ and a a mix of Jazz influenced keys and trombone with the track ‘Two Guys’. 

The feature-heavy project boasts guest appearances from some of Scotland's finest, with tunes featuring Empress, YBxgtown, Kryptik, Lynzie Dray, Milles Better, Gluco, Jennifer Anne Todd, One Oz, Mistah Bohze, MacKenzie, JabbaThaKut, Wends, Becci Wallace, Solareye, Queen of Harps and Pro Focus.

Conscious Route draws upon years of experience in the music industry as he casts an eye over the state of hip-hop culture and the trials of getting noticed as an underground artist. His vocals mesh perfectly with those of his guests, bringing an array of vocal styles and accents as the music flips from hip-hop head-nodders to a UK Garage throwback, some soul-tinted melodies, dub, and beyond.  

Continuing to push the culture while keeping an eye on its roots, ‘Belterz’ shows why Conscious Route has long been regarded as one of the foremost names in Scottish hip-hop. Release Date 10.11.2023

SOundScape #255 System Of Survival

Dive into the pulse of the streets with 'Up It,' a dynamic rap/hip-hop anthem. This track blends #LyricalGenius and #Trap vibes, delivering a narrative of hustle and resilience. While some verses touch on intense themes, it's essential to note that 'Up It' is an artistic expression, and I do not condone the violence. Press play for a journey through the raw authenticity of urban culture—an anthem of the streets.

Treefe - Up It

Recording and composition process happened between January of 2022 and October of 2023 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. All instruments, compositions and lyrics by Raoni Martins, except lyrics for track 11 which is a collab with Lucas Ajúr. Front Cover's drawing art and design beautifully done by Emilia Oliveira. Inlay and back cover's art by Raoni Martins. 

   The new work from Draven Project showcases a sound that tries to bring a good balance between the influences around the band. The last album's style is more developed here. It's a blend of Rock, Electronic, and Hip Hop. The album is called Cybertronic Dissonance and it contains thirteen tracks. It is divided into two acts. Act I is called The Raven's Nest, which is written and based on real situations and memories. It's about the life journey and trespassing through many issues while trying to be alive and make ends meet. Lyrics are filled with energy and rage against the past years facing music business and life. Every song on Act I is a moment of intense truth. Act II is called The Evil Flock. It's a set of 6 poems written to be songs. Music inspired by the works of Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jim Morrison.  
   
   There is a cyberpunk vibe running throughout the album, like a soundtrack from a dystopic world. The use of synthesizers and keyboards grew more and more on each album. Billy Idol, Depeche Mode and Ministry are for sure references for this release as well. Venus Highway goes right between Idol and Joy Division's sound with symphonic synth rock touches and doses of Brazilian music.

The raven figure on the album is a reference to the graphic novel and movie series The Crow. Therefore, it follows the concept of a raven being the holder of the heart and soul of someone while this person deals with revenging a great loss. The whole album is ambiented in the way the raven is standing on the shoulder of the main character, following his steps. There are many references to the famous black bird on the album. Act I is called The Raven's Nest because it means a relation to being born and alive into this world and having to learn to fly by fear of falling down and ceasing to live. This fear gets the bird into the majestic skill of flying, so it can fly over the land and face the world. While Act II is called The Evil Flock because it relates to the bird in a mature life, corrupted by the evil of the world while struggling to survive every single day.

Hebrews 9 and 10 teaches us the Lord ushered in the New Covenant because the old could never take away sins, give the worshipper a clean conscience. The NEW covenant gives us a clean conscience and we can boldly stand before God.

11/9 Hebrews No Condemnation

prod: TORYONTHEBEAT

Chorus:
My watch second hand because I bought this off the president 
Running up my money like I’m running at a track event
I just took 9 shots of wock I-I feel like I’m 50 cent
Live in Pennsylvania I’m living like the president 

Verse 1:
My teeth cost a mortgage cost a house on like every tooth
I just spent a rack see you again feel like I’m Charlie puth
I’m so fucking faded I feel like they pulled my wisdom tooth
I’ve been awol for a day but I’m just chilling in the booth

A tree can only reach to heaven if it’s roots are reaching hell 
Think it’s time for money clocks are chiming did you hear the bell
I just prayed for happiness then threw some racks down in the well
Used to laugh at me you want a picture bitch I wish you well

Fuck there goes another job so me and Jack gonna get busy 
I feel like yeat police escort me I’m never moving silly
If you listening please grab a blanket cause it’s getting chilly 
Flowing like a river cup is dirty im in Mississippi

Got my girl that double c she’s balling on and off the pitch
We got that brother bond I’m lilo and my moneys stitch 
I’m the most streamed rapper I’m just chatting go check out my twitch
All my haters see me now shit you son of a bitch

Chorus:
My watch second hand because I bought it off the president 
Running up my money like I’m running at a track event
I just took 9 shots of wock I-I feel like I’m 50 cent
I just built the biggest brand I’m gonna have to represent 

Put my rhymes in banks because I’m spitting out some golden bars 
Used to rock a Casio now check the time on audemars 
Used to ride a corsa now I’m swervin in a super car
Feel like Betelgeuse because im gonna be a superstar 

I will make in a year that’s just common sense
I’m only 15 and this month I paid my mothers rent 
I will make it back in like a minute that’s not money spent 
The richest teenager the richest man is what I meant 

My watch filled with diamonds yeah that presidential wonderband
I just ran my money up I swear it did the running man
This fit cost me a vault that’s why they call Samsa the money man 
Maldives for my holiday remembering the caravan 

My pockets were too skinny now they swollen and my moneys fat
I just spent a rack but don’t you worry I will make it back
So much money in the back I’m gonna have to watch my back 
I just went too stupid so my school made me reverse the track
