RhymeAudial
RhymeAudial is comprised of two talents; Fonetiks MC and DJ Volatile, who teamed up to form the group in early 2005. Having been active members of the Perth Aussie Hip-Hop scene for many years now, the two are ready to take their critically-acclaimed act from the stage to the stores with their forthcoming debut LP, Plastic Fortunes. Recently picking up three nominations from the Western Australian Music Industry (WAMi) for the 2007 Urban Song of the Year, the outlook is all positive for the team. The group has been hailed as not only a unique and talented act, but also as a huge leap for their local scene of Perth. Where the eastern states acts have the ability to draw on their quantity for support, those from Perth have to rely on their quality to stand out from the rest. All production on the Plastic Fortunes LP is by RhymeAudial’s DJ, Volatile, ranging from hip-hop head bangers to soulful melodies. Coupled with the flawless flow and insightful lyrics of Fonetiks, the end result is a complete buffet with an offering for all musical tastes. Plastic Fortunes will include guest appearances from Able MC, Optamus (Downsyde Crew, Obese Records/Opt Shop Records), Wisdom 2th (Green&Gold Records), and Marksman.

Story behind the song
The song brings a new aspect with each verse but primarily deals with depression. However, it has been written deliberately in a way so the words can speak to anyone in any number of situations.
Lyrics
VERSE 1: Dark clouds cover those lost on a landscape Like the world heard and curtained the dam drapes Plans made now hold a purpose of less As its hurting the only thing certain is death But the curses are left unanswered Less the standards The only ones blessed are the dammers And answers are few but are far between Even stars in the night sky have lost their gleam It just seems that the days are never ending Never ever friendly And barely ever mending That sever any caring That once exist It's like trying to break through with an open fist Never close the rift You're feeling stark and abandoned The only voice heard is the laugh of a madman The past melds with the mist of today As it fades, Like tomorrow is slippin away. VERSE 2: Glazed eyes view a life in fast forward Cornered in a time that once moved before it But all this is now just to weather the days Like working double-shifts on a minimum wage And the shivering rain is all that ever falls And of course All your dreams seem to never make the call Born to a sentencing Where 99 per cent dont even know your identity Or know you exist Like a ghost in the mist Where you float in the hope Fate will blow you a kiss In the motions your missed in the blink-of-an-eye Because your closed to their shit of the nickle and dime So the same glazed eyes keep a view on the skyline With the thought it will form as a lifeline Pause to define time that once stood still Now lost to a world that no longer seems real. VERSE 3: Now the suns setting gold World's getting cold On the shoulder of shadows your the one getting old Stunned by the hold and it's hard to accept That at best the rest will only notice when you've left Choking for breath And slippin' away Lost in the dark And the mist of the rain Crossed all the paths But you're missing the days And its strange that frames no longer echo your name Wishing back a childhood filled with laughter While trying to plant seeds for the greener pastures It seems much harder Like a trial of wills You hide in the noise like the silence can kill Climbing up a hill that only has one slope Sliding but you're still holding out for the rope Now you're down on the hope That was gripping the reigns And slowly - your slippin' away
