Followers By Xception The news told me today every Arab is a terrorist/ Trying to put a scare in Americans and/ Everywhere in the air big brother stare at us aware of us/ Prepared with brigadiers there to bury us and/ The enemy of the state is any free will to stay/ Wherever people engaged in breaking barriers and/ The tendency to degrade every candidate/ For the welfare of the state is something meritous and/ Co-conspirators media and fear in us/ Drive us from our boredom but we don’t know where they steering us/ Telling us to listen without hearing us/ Domesticated citizens prisoners/ Living in a system with belligerents enlisted to solicit us/ For taxes, fractions, soldiers, fighting the evil axis/ But practice shows us we are the evil actions/ Perhaps its owed us being we benefactors/ Of whips cracked over bleeding into the cracks/ Of the soil that sowed us poison/ Waiting to corrode your choices, voices/ With a song of sorrow, it’s that follow follow No! Not another conspiracy theory where we/ Clearly feel inferior we misled and misleading/ Yo! It’s infrared but you read it like it was said and repeated/ They teach it preach it we eat it and then we follow follow Let me make it clear make it evident/ I’m here for a second man, but I wanna be president/ This world is my heaven and my hell and my reverend/ My shell and residence for now and forever since/ Forever after and after the evidence/ The rapture I’m pestilence I’m right here/ Light years per minute I’m right here/ And simultaneously I’m right there it’s quite clear you get it?/ I’m bumping in your ears bumping into gimmicks/ With something for your limits like Popeye, spinach/ Tinted with a pinch of back when it was intended to leave a dent/ Tapped in creeping beneath and leaving hints/ So take one and follow my lead/ Xception to the rules my motto my creed/ My model my seed so borrow and breed/ Tomorrow will be a new day. never follow No! Not another conspiracy theory where we/ Clearly feel inferior we misled and misleading/ Yo! It’s infrared but you read it like it was said and repeated/ They teach it preach it we eat it and then we follow follow

We Love Music Turn the lights down we bout to heat up/ I got the mic now, forget about it, I got the right crowd/ So turn the beat up and me up insuring the sound/ Is where you feel it vibrating, feel the high waiting/ Then we up, way up, higher than clouds/ Hands in the sky waving, amazing, living in the feeling of now/ Feeling famous, even if I’m still on the couch writing to strangers/ Feeling like I’m building the evidence of love in the present tense/ Above any governments or anger/ And above whatever your color is, whoever your mother is/ Together we gonna get through changes/ Sitting at the top of the precipice, the flock and the shepherd mix/ A shot of benevolence, we anxious-ly/ Await a way to make our way to the front row/ Loving every minute that we in it and want more/ Screaming out! We love music, real music/ From the blues to jazz ill music/ Hip hop in my heart true blueprint/ Never tear us apart, it’s a movement The pen and pad might as well be my lifeline for real/ At night time during the worst times my meal/ A verse of lines written to curse time/ And fitted with specific analytics to nurse minds, ill/ Beats G-DO, for all of what that I know/ The homie never sleeps, he go/ To the next level like its written in stars I fit it in bars/ You get in parts and hit the pause in your cars then/ Forgetting you lost, just cruising/ Moving to the beat of the drum that’s in the music/ Moving out your seat to the sun where you can see everyone/ Holding the key to the dumb and just lose it/ Now we all trapped in a good time, clapping in good time/ I’m rapping you dancing and happen to glance in/ The light and see the night of your life having your hands/ To sky while I’m lighting this mic we all stand saying Chorus – We love music… Slow up, but don’t stop, bounce with it pronounce wit it/ Yeah sweat another ounce with it/ Breakers I’ll bout with it, ladies making a move/ To sway the wallflowers from the womb breaking the rules/ Haters I’ll lose so they stay away from the rooms where/ The sun and moons are creating a tune that’s there/ Rocking til noon never stop and assume/ That when we drop in it’s Hip Hop and to the clocks we immune Forever we tied wherever we tired/ If you find a measure then I promise I’ll fill in the lines/ If you under weather then I’m with you against the tides/ Must be in our feathers birds in a flock flying together/ And whatever the odds of us being in charge are/ We bout to beat em like its not even hard bars/ Over these beats come complete free of charge cus/ Music and me share the beat of one heart love

about

On 16 April 2011, Chicago rapper Xception and Amsterdam producer G-DO will release their new album ‘Felatastic: A Tribute to Fela Kuti’ on Goal Records. As the title suggests, this album is a tribute to Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the legendary Nigerian musician and composer, pioneer of Afrobeat music, and human rights activist. What started out as one song in the spirit of Fela Kuti for the new G-DO & Xception album ‘Sankofa’ (to be released summer 2011), soon turned into a full ten song-tribute album. The bridge between G-DO & Xception and Fela Kuti had been established a long time ago, so making this tribute album was a spontaneous process as they found themselves possessed by the ‘spirit of the shrine.’

The first single ‘Followers’ and accompanying B-side ‘We Love Music’ are now available for free download and listening at www.goalmusicgroup.com. The follow up single ‘The Revolutionist’ will be released next week on 10 April 2011.

‘Felatastic: A Tribute to Fela Kuti’ is the second album from G-DO & Xception, following their critically acclaimed debut album Mood of the Music, released on 26 July 2010 on Goal Records. Although their debut album went largely unnoticed by mainstream media, Mood of the Music was praised by critics, calling it:

“Most definitely one of the nicest indie albums I’ve heard so far this year” (hiphopruckus.com).

“…Smooth instrumentals, intelligent lyricism, and great quality music” (fab4music.com).

“Really a great album from top to bottom, all the beats are great, the lyrics and flow is also top notch. I’m really amazed this is their first release, this really has the top quality of something more mature” (unclecritic.com).

Xception’s rhyming combines a Chicago flavor with introspective lyrics and clever wordplay, while G-DO creates musical landscapes that are a combination of funky, jazzy sounds combined with hard-hitting drums and live instrumentation.
