Check,check,check out the melody Audessey and JonnyCuba with the Remedy Check,check,check out the melody Audessey and JonnyCuba with the Remedy Straight Up yo I give it to ya dope like that I'm fitted and authentic classic like a throw back jersey My lyrics never be Topsy turvey J on the cut kid tell them what the word be.. Okay now back to beat and rhythm and rhymes straight like im doing it now touching ya mind Braincells busting, rhymes im touching Pattern my flow and I'm going never rushing Yes a rhyme maniac, beat buster a braniac A PHD in MPC ya'll im saying that Paying my dues doing what I choose while y'all snooze Checkmate, game over seeing you all loose The fat lady singing, check the ill we bringing The illy illnes for realness is what we feeling Check,check,check out the melody Audessey and JonnyCuba with the Remedy Check,check,check out the melody Audessey and JonnyCuba with the Remedy So now you know.. Jonny's Production notes: I had always wanted to hook this loop up since a friend hipped me to it years ago, the driving bass makes for a compelling listen. When I looked at the samples they really needed chopping to make the pocket deeper. When it came to arrangement the real task was to keep a 2 bar loop interesting over 3 minutes... Lots of dropouts! This is the only track on the EP where I did the cuts. I felt others in the crew could rock it much harder on the turntables, need to sharpen those rusty skills.

(Announcer):Hear ye, Hear ye come one come all Have a listen, check it out.. So What's the question ..Are you and emcee or a rapper? Would you do it for the money or be like the Blast Master KRS(ONE ) because Knowledge Reins Supreme In a pool of other fishes trying to swim main stream So What's the question yeah you gotta ask yourself Would you do it for the love, no money, fame or wealth? When your hiphip done flip flopped, flap, fluke and busted You put your hammer pants on saying you can't touch this But now your a gangster a hustler , a pusher Carrying weight in 08 yo, nobody ever knew of ya Stop ya lying, nobody's buying, You're a too cool fool and nobody's smiling Your facade and fakeness found in your imagery With no substance cheerly just gimmickry Video stage, turn the page the next chapter Two for ya crew and gave us a good laugh Keep it true might I add with the suggestion ,but on the real though I'm just saying...what the question. (Announcer): And now ladies and gentlemen, for your listen pleasure and Entertainment U-George (U-George) What's the question..Have you learned ya lesson to emcee Hold the mic to gain entry in this fraternity Step on stage spit right out the memory With no page I battle enemies in front of me Hmmm the ? mark remains emcees dissapear like they David Blaine A mind freak, you so unique but you rhyme weak Trust me, in a battle you turn the other cheek I an't got swag I just got tag On the wall where I played hand ball at Block parties give me the mic I handle that Little tike Puma sneaks with a Kangol hat Now I'm waiting on your answer ya loving this art form and for the industry your playing the part for Dont get mad , just hit the pen and the pad Go ahead ask your Dad (fool!!!)..What's the question!? (Announcer): Yes, yes yes the question has been answered are you an emcee or are you a rapper? In today's day in time there is a difference....the question remains. Jonny's production notes: The hardest track to produce on the EP. The record the main sample comes from has vocals all over it, I had to slice tiny portions from many different parts of the tune to make the basic instrumental groove. I tried 3 or 4 times to get the heavily swung feel right. Ollie Teeba helped with the arrangement putting together the great outro.

Open your eyes you never know what you'll find When you know what you're looking for Open your eyes you never what you'll find This is what you're looking for I found music at the age of Eleven Got that itch for a scrath every minute to the second For that sound and (GET DOWN) a kid who had to have it Bust a break to planet rock, FrankSki and Mr.Magic 98.7 Kiss I never missed For that hiphop flavor that heavenily bliss of that beat and a rhyme, to uplift a state of mind The love for creation, music sensations Tribe to Dela it was my Main Source Never tried to fake the funk as it will put me off course 93 to infinity there was no end With that Boom to the Bap,High to the Low End Theory It made me feel the essence of the culture yes, that I felt what within me That Hiphop music that is the guiding light Shinning thru the underground and taking top flight. Open your eyes you never know what you'll find When you know what you're looking for Open your eyes you never what you'll find This is what you're looking for It's the hiphop jump to the rhythm of the beat and that vibe that provides to make it all sound complete'n the universal nature bob your head and move your feet'n Transmitted by me Audessey the emcee'n and what its what your looking for the feel good music Soulfully crafted, calculatedly math'd Superbly put together classically and old fashion the hop It don't stop and how we put it down Dedicated ATL crews and the underground Hey yo, who got it all together soul by the pound and if you don't know world you need to check it now Like the Tha F.E.M.C.E.E. - Stahhr and Binkis Recs A-Yo Dres the Beatnik known to catch rec But this is just a taste of the full course meal Open your eyes discover you know the deal, for real for real for real, for real... Open your eyes you never know what you'll find When you know what you're looking for Open your eyes you never what you'll find This is what you're looking for Dedications.... Jonny's production notes: Audessey came up with the basic track in the form of a loop & basic drums. I liked the melody but thought we could take the track further. I enlisted the help of a cat from D.C, 'Bozekitty'. He played some jazzy latin guitar on it & I just had to get live bass to add to the flow. Enter NoSleep Nigel our engineer & general 3rd ear. Nigel did a killer bassline that really bought the track together. I added drums, vibes & organ. just subtle touches. Later we dubbed these players the 'Instant Messengers' they are our band in waiting.

(Audessey) Well it’s the A what you say Blessed to live another day Got the word what’cha heard Feel they rhyme you get served From the source of an emcee older and more mature Far from adolescence where the vision is obscured I’m on a path and know the math to keep my money secure I spit these bar of 16 on a vibe so pure I got to let it go and let it flow my mind set to blow Locked, cocked and ready put heads in the know Do my business right for sure stack the dough Cuz one never knows when its time to go Well make the move show and prove my mind in the groove’n Spark a brain cell and tell it just like the news Not to mislead but feed minds yes the truth to get loose The many heads that been abused Cut the shackles and chains that traps the membrane Like the Matix the game flips over and I say… Count them one, Count them two, Count them three, Count them four Knock, knock Soundsci at your door with the rhyme time prime time Doing it now ill mind specialized to make ya say Wow! Count them one, Count them two, Count them three, Count them four Knock; knock Soundsci at your door with the rhyme time prime time Doing it now ill mind specialized to make ya say Wow! (Therapy) I can’t trust myself So how the f*ck can I trust you I seen how lust Can make a motherf*cker rush to Forget how I crushed you Head & Shoulders can’t clean as many skulls As I brush through I’m here to tell ya Shawty how we do round here (Introducing Therapy the Medicine Man…!) I got some loose screws I hear New attitude this year Too many weak crews out here I know its never you I fear Cause I’m a known issue Don’t let the wrong miscue Get you blown into a tissue (YEAH!!!!) Now that’s your first clue Knock, knock sucka n*gga You don’t have to guess who… Count them one, Count them two, Count them three, Count them four Knock, knock Soundsci at your door with the rhyme time prime time Doing it now ill mind specialized to make ya say Wow! Count them one, Count them two, Count them three, Count them four Knock; knock Soundsci at your door with the rhyme time prime time Doing it now ill mind specialized to make ya say Wow! (Audessey) Yo, back on the scene long time no hear from It’s a brother from Mitchell St. with something for ya eardrum Still on solid ground and the quest for the sound To create from the brakes from the crate we get down now My mission is clear, to set it in your ear To educate and entertain to make you shake your rear Long gone is the day of living care free Letting time tick by and I can see It’s all what you make or waste it I choose to create, in this moment given all that I say With word, each verb, each noun, each adjective The Rhyme complete verse done and I say ghost One,two, three, four (You got to keep it moving, you gotta stay Focused and you be prepared for what’s ahead) Count them one, Count them two, Count them three, Count them four Knock, knock Soundsci at your door with the rhyme time prime time Doing it now ill mind specialized to make ya say Wow! Count them one, Count them two, Count them three, Count them four Knock; knock Soundsci at your door with the rhyme time prime time Doing it now ill mind specialized to make ya say Wow! Jonny's production notes: One of the 1st tracks we put together for the EP.

(Audessey) Well take the time out, and think out Ya life where it's going what's all about It's Aud, never the fraud no need for an applause But I kick it and ask the question Offer suggestions thru my trials and tribulations (Life Lessons) Yes the ups and downs and highs and lows Those things that keep ya illy that keep ya on ya toes To make ya see life different and go uh,oh,oh yo! I kick on the really really real With the weight of the world on my shoulders and deal Then grab the pen and pad and tell ya what I feel constructed and produced it sign and sealed (you better think) delivered (Ha!) best believe that is real Because too many wonder, often just ponder where they going, how they living and seem to fall under the status quo, their thinking is in slow mo Their mind is caught up in delusion yo I just say yo just think.. (you better think) (Use that tool between your two shoulders).. Just Think, come on think for second how the world revolves and how you fit in it (Where ya see your self) No time to be timid, You just gotta just do it and be in it to win it Just Think, come on think for second how the world revolves and how you fit in it (Where ya see your self) No time to be timid, You just gotta just do it, do it,do it (Jax) I never thought that I would make bad moves and I never thought that I wouldn't finish school (nah) I guess that's what I get for thinking Instead just doing while my hopes where shrinking Jax had to expand the thought process a plan, take a stand and give this man some more options To play life with no pieces missing Many of night you can catch me in a thinking position Like hmmmmm, what next (whats next), what left to do in a world so complex That when its broken down to a simpler form You took time to think so you could weather any storm That blows thru town, nothing holds you down but you So rise up and become unstuck from the glue that keep you stagnated Failure is a phrase that should be outdated I know I hated it An escaped it on some burning building ,save a baby ,super power, and cape sh*t Not just with the scheme I was doing (but remember) I was doing One half is dreaming the other half is execution! Just Think, come on think for second how the world revolves and how you fit in it (Where ya see your self) No time to be timid, You just gotta just do it and be in it to win it Just Think, come on think for second how the world revolves and how you fit in it (Where ya see your self) No time to be timid, You just gotta just do it, do it, do it (Reality) Thru mind power, I shower and devour to the last hour any coward destined to be flowered With the lyrical strength and gift like Malcolm I overstand keen with keen eyes like a falcon That I'm one soul, eternal in existence Trap in a world where hell is a life sentence Beyond a shadow of death I vision guiding lights I'm an angel with broken wings trying to take flight Battling demons, DNA from my pops semen Got me screaming Allah U Akbar when I see him Supreme being you know the all eye seeing Who gave breath for breathing and sin for the heathen Now I'm beaming lay my body in a mausoleum Death is only price for freedom You can ask the slaves and the freedom fighters in they graves In ancient Egypt they wrote it down in the caves.. Just Think, come think for second how the world revolves and how you fit in it (Where ya see your self) No time to be timid, You just gotta just do it and be in it to win it Just Think, come on think for second how the world revolves and how you fit in it (Where ya see your self) No time to be timid, You just gotta just do it and be in it to win it and just think.. (You better Think).. Audessey's Production notes: Just a little something that I put together a while back. The interesting thing I guess for me here is that the effects on the vocal sample and the other noise was a sampled from the ASR10 and I flew them in and recorded them on the fly live. A nice head bopping beat as I liked to show some production versatility here on this song and with the talents of Jax and Reality on this song it really brought it all together in the end.
