No industry formula.
No gimmicks.
Just bars.

For nearly three decades, Scienz Of Life has used music as a vehicle for exploration, reflection, and growth. Well Aware continues that tradition.

Built on soulful production and thoughtful lyricism, the song examines what it means to move through the world with open eyes, an open mind, and a deeper understanding of the forces that shape our lives. From culture and history to creativity and personal experience, Well Aware celebrates the pursuit of wisdom and the power of paying attention.

This is music for the lifelong learner. For the observer. For those who understand that awareness is not a destination, but a practice.

Stay curious. Stay present. Stay well aware.

A continuous mix dedicated to Boards of Canada from the esteemed Marcus Pinn.

ONLY available on Bandcamp.

“Boards of Canada isn’t a hip-hop group but their approach to making music always felt hip-hop adjacent to me (the sampling, the drum programming, the vocal chopping, the sequencing, etc).

After months of posting practice videos of myself scratching over BoC’s music, I decided to record it all in to one giant mix incorporating thier music, classic hip-hop, and the original sources they’ve sampled over the years.

(I promise this wasn’t time to coincide with the release of “Infetno”. The seeds for this mix were planted and documented over a year ago).

Some of the inspirations/reference points for this mix include:

Rob Swift “Pure Moods and Soul Child”
Kid Koala “Scratchscratchscratch”
DJ Avee “Back When Skills Mattered”
D-Styles vs DJ Shadow Megamix”

On his new single “I Know” decorated Boston lyricist M-Dot details the pursuit of his dreams and how he stays motivated in a world dominated by distractions and constant hurdles. The video, directed by Chill-ill (Soulchain Records) uses clever everyday imagery with M-Dot edited into the background of different scenarios, almost like a conscience consistently reminding us all to keep pushing! The single can be found on his latest album “A Notebook With No Light” his 7th official full length album. The number 7 is symbolic for spiritual awakenings, wisdom and inner truth. The longtime Boston artist’s latest project provides those exact undertones.

Set in a film noir gumshoe aesthetic, the project showcases a notebook of lyrics that speak to independent musicians whose music may never get the proper light shone on their pages.

Along for the introspective ride featured on rhymes & production are 38 Spesh, Method Man, Big Shug (Gangstarr), Che Noir, ElCamino, EMS (M-Dot’s crew) & more. ‘A Notebook With No Light’ once again highlights grit & vulnerability from an MC who shines in world of facades. In a time of microwave attention spans, M-Dot offers one of his most powerful projects that reflects a care to detail for an entire album rather than a 15 second flash in the pan. This project will resonate long after. Released on Austrian Label SoulChain Records.

All immediate pre-orders within the first two weeks will be entered into a lottery. Winner receives an entire old rhyme notebook full of M-Dot hand written rhymes along with a code to access the digital version of the album early.
