UK Alternative Hip-Hop MC's Troy & Archetype combine with producers Sonar Music & Oscar Lo Brutto to create a concept album dedicated to all those stuck in the matrix, blankly staring at office windows while dreaming of a better life. Their sound is accessible rap, with elements of house & electronica, covering a variety of topics including love, lust, monotony, spirituality, hope & the concept of time. The album features guest vocals by Samara Amina & Nomadic Poet of legendary UK rap group - The Planets. Track by track: GOOD MORNING (Produced by Sonar Music) Sonic rocket fuel for Monday morning, show casing the different styles of our lead protagonists Troy’s tempered style, calmly announcing the group’s arrival (“When I pass mic’s to the Archetype, like Avenger’s we assemble.”) While Archetype's entrance takes things up a notch (“The war has begun, let it begin!”) FINDING MY WAY [UNFAMILIAR] (Produced by Sonar Music) The idea that we are simply visiting (“We’ve been blessed to get familiar in this world then we’ll forget this trip.”) THE BEAT (INTERLUDE) (Produced by Sonar Music) Something for the DJ’s which basically sets up the next track.. (“It’s hip hop & it don’t stop, from the corners to the clothes shops, & it’s so hot that it won’t flop, this life is all we know.”) ENDLESS LOVE (Produced by Sonar Music) A beautiful ode to hip-hop “My Pops had speakers that were tall as me. So much vinyl that the shelves we’re bending awkwardly.” GROUNDHOG DAYS (Produced by Sonar Music) Stuck in the office goldfish bowl with the boss & the secretary “Where do I go from now? Pray that my Lord’s forgiving. Why did I find myself? In this life of sinning.” BETTER LIFE (Produced by Oscar Lo Brutto) Something for the dreamers “It’s all about your melon not your melanin, choose a better life.” DUSK (featuring Samara Amina) (Produced by Sonar Music) This must be the group's idea of a love song, we won’t ask them what or who inspired it “You’re like a bright star, this is by far truly worth all of the years that I’ve been waiting.” TOMORROW [CHASING DESTINY] (Produced by Sonar Music) Some serious food for thought on this one, part youtube conspiracy theory & part warm & fuzzy hopeful spiritual optimism “I walked with a shine but of course I was lying. No amount of bling could save my skin from the thought of me dying..” & “Tomorrow brings a better day, we’re just switching lanes. In a better state, a better mind frame.” Skit (office talk) (Produced by Troy) A comedic rant from the boss OFFICE WINDOWS (Produced by Sonar Music, strings by Oscar Lo Brutto) Flirtation & faxes, play this to escape those bad days in the office. “I've been fighting with this copier. It’s always on the frits. I should give it a kick, but I’m polite like the brits.” FRIDAY FEELING (Produced by Sonar Music) Light at the end of the tunnel, thank God it’s Friday “It’s 5 to 5 I’m leaving. Just like, I’m highway speeding. A new state of mind I’m needing. I got the Friday feeling.” STAY TUNED-IN (featuring Nomadic Poet) (Produced by Sonar Music, strings by Oscar Lo Brutto) Something for the clubs with a guest appearance by UK rap legend Nomadic Poet of The Planets “Stay tuned, don’t touch that dial. Light up the world, girl I love that smile. All my people, if you must act wild. Get off the wall, time to bust that style.” HUNGER [remix] (Produced by Oscar Lo Brutto, co-produced by Space Boy Troy) Archetype seriously steps up for the last track on the album “Hunger - pain - life - change - Going into this game."
