This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik

It focuses specifically on the mysterious and miraculous substance Ubik that gets referenced in advertisements at the start of every chapter of the work (except the final one) as well as by Runciter in a video Joe Chip sees in his apartment. Ubik turns out to be a substance, developed by Ella Runciter and "other responsible half-lifers" that in its contemporary form undoes and protects against the effects of entropy and consumption by Jory in half-life. It can also be reverted to earlier an essentially unusable versions as well, as Joe Chip finds out.

Dormant (prod MILLIONAIR + Xylomar)

fadedthanaho (entropy)

Decay, rust, aging — all are manifestations of increasing entropy.
In this relentless law lies the imprint of silent extinction:
from celestial bodies to thoughts fading in a dying mind.
The universe won’t explode, won’t vanish in a flash of light —
it will quietly dim and cool to absolute zero.

I don’t know if Lord Kelvin saw a grim beauty in this,
or if, perhaps, to him it was an inevitable tragedy shaped by fatalism.
My life will be brief, and I won’t live to witness the disintegration of the last atom in the universe.
But, if I’m honest, the thought that everything will one day die after me — brings me a slight sense of peace.

Case File 4 (A Place You Can't Escape)

"Entropy 101" is a short lesson in how being the flaw in a mechanism, in this case Hip Hop's underground industry, can serve to your advantage if you stay true to yourself and your craft.

This Bluff Gawd produced EP serviced a great accolade in J Phi's underground career, released Friday the 13th of Dec. 2024, where the then 33 year old became the first Duval County underground rap artist to successfully release 100 songs in one year's time (Feb. 8th, 2024 to Feb. 8th, 2025).

MIXED/MASTERED by Infamous Skizza Reyven in 2024.

Jacksonville, Florida's best kept secret, 'J Phi' (formerly 'Justice' and 'Justice JPhi'), has a massive underground discography spanning across the "Digital Mixtape Era."

This SoundCloud page is home for all of 'Phi's' home studio quality projects with 'Bluff Gawd,' while professionally mixed/mastered music with other producers is available on streaming platforms and YouTube.

'Phi' began writing rap music in 2000, officially joining his first rap group based out of Black Pine in Mayport, "The Black Tribe," alongside 'ALPHV' (formerly 'J. Alpha-One’) in 2009, eventually debuting in 2013 alongside 'Graffiti' in Atlantic Beach with their mixtapes, "9 to 5: the Mixtape" and "9 to 5: Overtime," during the DatPiff wave. 

‘Phi' would go on to open for many industry icons (Afroman, Jarren Benton, Nipsey Hussle, Caskey, and more) and, in 2016, lead his own local tour with the "New Jax City Movement," beside other prominent local artists like 'Wyldlife Chop,' where he also met 'Joey Tech' and formed the duo, "H3LLFIR3 & 6R1M$tON3" (HnB), working extensively with a local producer, 'Bluff Gawd,' on several albums and EPs until 2020.

After a brief "retirement" in 2021, 'Phi' returned in 2022 under the wing of his mentor, 'Infamous Skizza Reyven,' and his underground brand: "Infamous Mindz Productionz," releasing several bodies of work until ultimately creating his massive original discography... which now features several multi-platinum recording artists and Grammy nominated producers.

'J Phi' is now regarded as one of the hardest working underground recording artists Duval County has ever produced, becoming the first rap artist from Jacksonville to officially and successfully release 100 songs in one year’s time (Feb. 8th, 2024 to Feb. 8th, 2025).

From 2026 onward, 'J Phi' (due to his collaborative efforts with 'Infamous Skizza Reyven') would be most well-known for his epic Viking-themed trilogy, "Seers Of Yggdrasil," and his undying work ethic, love, and passion for Hip Hop culture and songwriting.
