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
We do it for the love of true hip hop... not that mainstream yank-wank.
Lyrics
VERSE 1 The thought waves fade Phase back to the day Where a name Was nothin more than a word on a page And a stage Was nothin more than a dream to create But the latter was soon shattered And put to its grave and All your hopes became distant memories Forgettin about dreams And just how things were meant to be Yet to see That the ones standing next to me Were wipin off a name From a stone book of history Chords from sixties Stabbed horns from fifties Saw before form Reborn to the city Where the rhymes take the past crimes Silver line the dark skies Believin the reason is all about the hard times So With a pen and a mind for a weapon We step on a stage Our soapbox and bless it Switch the mic on Yo we fight on Before the nights gone Set our eyes on A lyrical horizon! CHORUS x 2 And keep on dreamin So keep on breathin Blow off the ceilings <> VERSE 2 The struggles swirl in the world of a troubled head **PRESSURE SAMPLE The muscles tested At best with every lyric But where the others led Never went beyond their limit And its hiddin in inherited soul Of every song Every word say That takes third play And theyre wrong When we get judged And bagged for our fashion Our reasons in our rhymes And our love is in our passion With action we blow out And flow through your speakers Believers are throwin up their hands To our preachers And each is A vision of rhytm of life when rap came Offerin more crowd support Than in a packed train The fact stayed its a reason for life So we Live in the vibe that its givin' And believe in our rhymes And every night throw a fist to the sky As we represent the heights That we reach on the mic So... CHORUS x 2 VERSE 3 Yo we write for survival in life Strive for the silencin type Vibe that Im givin' my life Keep a mind on a lyrical height And in the bitter of night I might be standin alone But I know That the rest are with my rhymes On the microphone Right at home With my hope or with a notepad Or to show fans My version of a flow rap But still we look upon the world from the basements And face it We're livin in a place where we're faceless Defacin' the streets and beats To make our voice heard Blowin off roofs with truths And some choice words Livin as the specters With jesters as kings And the message we bring Is recognised through the shit that I sing So as our life is the mic And our playground the beats then These are my Rhymes and my Reasons BRIDGE ---And keep on... ---So keep on... ---And keep on... CHORUS x 2
