The nostalgic 50s-60s television vibe seasoning the swingy jazz beat of Monster Island might throw you off - teasing a song that’s simply playful & uplifting, but the lyrics start off with a sort of facetious & sarcastic tone. Like a clever chemist, Minister Squad & Mr Uni Universal mix swaggy notes against some lyrical science, making heavy use of technological terminology to make you think deeper than you would be on a normal day of being in the Matrix… or Earth.
Perhaps they’re attempting to jolt those who have fallen asleep back to consciousness? The lyrics and theme are more complex than what’s on the surface. This song definitely requires a multiple listen throughs. The mischievous humor is a call back to veterans like L.A. Symphony & Pigeon John… to a time before Trap music infected the airwaves… back when
emcees could still really say something, and people would listen.
