What Used To Be is a testament, both to the music we all heard and loved (and missed); but just as much to the time we three spent together: As musicians, as a band, as friends and as a family. The music is a product of 2 years of dedicated work with one clear goal: To release a full-length album, spanning all the diverse styles and genres of music, we comfortably identify ourselves with.

There has been no compromise with either sound or lyrics throughout the album: Every corny trick or classic loop has happily been used so long as it improves the quality of the music - we didn't really care whether it became incredibly cool or incredibly lame. As long as we thought it worked out, it made it on the album. The lyric genious has also taken his time: Numerous times has a beat been ready, but the text and final product has often taken years to complete. And there's a good reason for this, sometimes you got to take your time.

Do listen to this music if you like old school hip hop with musical cliches and twists, but at the same time carry a flair for musicality joined by lyrics involving the process, life and society.

We believe we challenge a new field inside a classic universe, and we hope we can continue doing this - we already improved our skills since the beginning. However, a project of this caliber demands support if it is to continue, since we all moved away from each other now. On a last note, we hope you enjoy the music just as much as we do.

What Used To Be er et testamente, både til musikken vi alle har hørt i lang tid og elsket (og savnet); men lige så meget til tiden vi tre har haft sammen: som musikere, som band, som venner, som familie. Musikken er et produkt af 2 års dedikeret arbejde, med et klart mål: At udgive et fuldt album, skildrende alle de musikstile vi komfortabelt kan bevæge os i.

Igennem numrene er der hverken gået på kompromis med lyd eller lyrik: Ethvert corny trick eller klassisk rundgang er gladeligt blevet benyttet, så længe det fremmer musikkens kvalitet - vi er ligeglade med om det blev latterligt fedt, eller latterligt 'lamt'. Så længe vi synes det fungerede, kom det med. På samme niveau har lyrikgeniet også taget sig god tid: I mange tilfælde har numrene, selvom beatet har været færdigtproduceret, stadigt taget op til flere år om at blive færdige. Og det er der en god grund til, nogen gange skal man bare give sig god tid.

Hør musikken hvis du godt kan lide gammelt, oldschool hip hop med musiske klichéer og twists, men samtidigt har en flair for musisk spilleri, samt godt kan lide tekster der involverer processen, livet og samfundskritik.

Vi udfordrer et nyt felt indenfor et klassisk univers, vi håber vi kan blive ved - vi er allerede blevet langt dygtigere end fra starten, men et projekt af denne kaliber kræver støtte, siden vi alle flytter fra hinanden nu. Vi håber i kan lide musikken lige så meget som vi kan.
