lyrics:
Lost lost lost…
should I buy something at the store?
costly costly costly, 
it’s costing me,

it’s caustic.

I spend my time waiting in line 
spend my time…
this is my prime!

…So maybe the best years of my life will be spent at the grocery store, 
and maybe some of the best times.

More and more and more and more...

I’d like more and more and more and more and more and more!

I’m thinking of capitalism 
(giggle)

I’m thinking of how I work eight hours a day so I can return to the same spot, the same place every day 
(giggle)

I’m not complaining…That’s a crime

RychusDon paints a vivid picture of life for the UK underclass, detailing the environmental and political factors that are faced by working people of Britain. There is almost a sense of paranoia about the powers that be at times- the track is dark and gritty, yet somehow remains hopeful for positive change. A must listen for real rap fans.

We inhabit a space somewhere on the outskirts of avant-jazz and punk rock, Dogs h8 Rats are genre defying, and full of surprises. The music is born of improvisational performances so with a little luck you'll catch the "mistakes and imperfections" now and then, or as Miles Davis once said "Don't fear mistakes, there are none" and that ethos is in clear evidence within the music of Dh8R's. The core of Dh8R's is made up of Douglas Wilkerson and Michael Grimes who collaborate with friends old and new."
