I've been thinking this for a while, but it's a track that sort of fell by the wayside to those who aren't into the Japanese producer album vein that guys like Krush and DJ Honda put out. Pretty sure it dropped before his debut (97 if I remember) and my jaw straight fell off on first listen.



Delivery + Content + Lyrics + moody gritty beat = flawless

From all borders, doorways and gates
Resurrection draws near, mankind awaits :ohhh:

When you're livin in this world you got to survive
Shaitan is lookin on alert, attackin from all sides :whoo:

Witness before all eyes, the evidence of unseen
The power past the comprehension that controls all things :ooh:


The battle fought by good and evil is a real contest
It is the outcome of the struggle that we play context

To all sets sections cruddy clicks crews and clans
Gilgreens to Badlands, jump up, to understand :gladbron:

I'm just a man, not the univeral architect
We tread the face of this heavenly place, and show respect :ahh:
