Fresh off of the road from performing in a slew of cities in the Pacific Northwest for IMTour/Here I Am Tour with Maulskull and Scarab, (as Stay Tuned with Deejay Tense), Mane Rok is back with even more top tier music. ‘Murder He Wrote’, a conceptual album about the mind and makings of a serial killer was the first release in a series of headnodic sounds we’ll be hearing from the Denver native throughout the summer. ‘Elite Philosophy Presents: The GemInI’ features Ichiban, InkLine and Mane Rok. An astrological trifecta, if you will, the album is available for download below.

Initially titled, Twin Geminorum Complex, this project is the brainchild of all three MC’s. After shelving the project for some time, the newest inception is even more succinct than the guys could have imagined. InkLine is the Pollux to Mane Rok’s Castor; the beta to his Alpha, in that the two bookend the Gemini season (Mane Rok 5/21, InkLine 6/20).

Using The GemInI as a reintroduction to InkLine who was released from prison in early May, the pairing with crew member Ichiban places even more emphasis on the historic sentiment of the project. There are talks of releasing an EP of this sort annually. Stay Tuned…

Track Listing;
1. Young Guns
2. Galileo’s Dilemma (Ichiban Solo)
3. Question
4. Universes & Hooks (InkLine Solo)
5. Castor & Pollux Ft. Qwel & Supastition
6. Get Up! (Mane Rok Solo)

After his last two singles that featured an all star cast, “That’s Life” and “New World”, Da Hermit comes back with his latest single “Trippy World” ft. Bless and G.I.F.T of First Class. Trippy World is the third single off of the album “Changing Lanes” (Sticky Note Records) which drops in the fall of 2013.

“Trippy World” blends funky bass, ambient percussion, and rhymes by Bless and G.I.F.T. that come together and make you reflect on how crazy and quirky life can be. It takes the listener on a journey through harsh realities and ways to cope with those realities.

This latest installment is off the upcoming album “Changing Lanes” which will be released in the fall of 2013 on Sticky Note Records. “Changing Lanes” will feature mc’s from coast to coast and unreleased songs from the 2007 album “Dropping In On Them”.
