lyrics
Gather round wheel pledge here to astound you. Blather mouth presents mirage so hound clues. Nothing special, a lead pencil for round two Prestige level: you see when you're allowed to Scope closely, both peep a baroque theme Over see opening proscenium trope scheme Smoke screen, ghost streams, owed/ode to a dope fiend Poetry probe, needles lobes till you O.D.ed Or sew it's seams, nodder's lobby the obvious Hobbyist, insomnia prop up the audience Pontious applies’s baby wipes for the prodigies Common as opposite's wouldn't bob with geometry. Anomalies drop quality odd's in a lottery Product that's not put up or pawned for commodity. Monarchies not fatherly all they seize property Autumn leaves fallen, roots grew to the following Scholars are cognisant of loops in monopoly Knowledge is squandered for the booze n velocity Mutant produced music, excuse all the novelty Spoon bending n moon landing, true to astronomy Celestial odyssey - no ad-venture is promising Prophecy pot belly sitcoms follow policy Gossiping wasps conjure up wattage & aught to be’s Comet across optics, myopic and locked to screen. A little privacy guy try for a diary Anxiety rise intertwined with your dial up speed Its why I find night sky is a diamond feed Imbibe the breeze, fibre needs, a sobriety Variety finds hype in a system of binary Spectrum's that swipe right we flip it so bitingly Unified in divisive attitudes and derisively Eye that seeks never spied from where that its eyelids peep Find your key, tune true to it silently Distinct method sublime high on the ivory Acquire libraries friar sigh on the priory. Apply science to minds wired and spidery Decipher the cypher all you find is a chirping Defiance of herd instead of Maya in bird tweets Minor alert admire quiet emerging The liar is purged, every bias in your speech

about

Exxon Valdez was the name of the group I started out in. It was my self another MC ( Rob, Sir Renovich ) and Three Producers, Ciaran ( CF Meister, Mick E Rawrk , Loud Mouth ) Cian aka KikI and my brother Blake ( The Bastard, The Gruesome Twosome, Loud Mouth)

This was our second release but first digital upload. Before that we just pressured the crowds into buying our burned cd demo '5 soft school boys soft as shite' at our gigs in the Harbour bar.

Shitty night the opening track was my early wanderings into abstract metaphors. What I found out was its a lot of fun to create verse's in which every line tells its own story while still contributing to the whole. Hip hop sometimes had the "keep it real" attitude but I always preferred to push the boundaries of my imagination.

I got to change up Stamp of quality, a song off our demo, in delivery over a different beat which I always get a kick out of doing even today.

On side two 'Re-fit' was my first philosophical rhyme style. Over the years I continued to experiment and develop this side of me and I always include some of the wisdom I've been lucky enough to come into contact with in present rhymes.

We also got our first piece of press from it.

“Dublin-based crew of MCs and producers pushing a brew of colourful, sunny hip-hop and drum’ n’ base”
Jim Carroll - The Ticket (Irish Times)
