The final song, "Oddity" provides something of a template for maintaining those healthy romantic relationships without sacrificing the work ethic that the music requires. Nicco lightheartedly tells Marc about how the struggle to maintain a blossoming relationship can detract much-needed energy away from the music, and Marc (who recently got married last year) recounts his experience of steadily pursuing the work while patiently waiting to find the right partner—the one who will turn out to be your number one supporter and elevate the music rather than distract from it.

Oddity

"On My Own" describes how the life of an artist can be a lonely one, as doing what it takes to break through one of the most volatile industries on the planet can come at the cost of friendships and intimate relationships. Marc also talks about his work as a therapist for children with autism and how he sometimes feels torn between these two career paths; the one providing a very tangible difference in the lives of those on the spectrum, and the other providing the creative and artistic outlet that may yet prove to have even far greater reach.

On My Own

“Origins” reveals more insight into the duo’s backstory as they pass the mic back and forth every 4 bars—recounting their musical influences and first steps into the industry.

Starting off the EP with "Overture", Marc and Nicco deliver fast paced lyrics with complex multi-syllable rhyme schemes showing that they are more than capable of the skills it takes to follow their dreams as Hip Hop artists
