Clear Soul Forces’ very own Noveliss teams up with super producer Dixon Hill for a triumphant opus destined to overtake the underground! On a sonic voyage spanning thirty minutes, the lyrical assassin spits verbal venom over a succession of stellar tracks that propel his solo sojourn into the stratosphere. Prepare to transcend the limits of space & time as you experience the “Book of Changes!”
Our exciting adventure begins with a gem titled “Empty” that examines the imbalance between wealth & human virtue. One can obtain all the riches the world has to offer but completely lose his soul in the process. After contemplating the integrity of mankind, Noveliss taps into the energy of the universe over pulsating rhythms from the heavens. “Feng Shui” finds the audio avenger cascading around the groove & revealing the hidden secrets of the earth before segueing into a “Loss For Words.” Don’t let the title fool you though because the noble rhyme slayer is anything but reticent in his opinions. He weaves a wave of wondrous wordplay throughout Dixon’s magical arrangement then extols the transformative power of isolation with “Sincerity and Reverence.” Noveliss is clearly in his element as he dominates the joint. There’s no stopping the supreme spitter who’s “had a nice flow since the zygote!”
“Scheminonameanin” presents a dazzling display of high-powered rhymes navigating through a minefield of combustible sonic explosives. “Truthsayer” by contrast, scales back on the bells & whistles to push the vocals up to the forefront. Noveliss speaks on civil rights, oppression & racial inequality before leaping from the jazz-fueled backdrop into the ethereal arrangement of “Escaping.” No corrupt corporation leaves the track unscathed as he speaks his 40 Acres & A Mule into existence! “Spirit Bomb” is another tour de force of intense lyricism that provides the perfect lead-in to the magnificent “Cold Mountain.” We then ascend to a higher plane of existence before concluding with the powerful “Permanent Waves.” Noveliss & Dixon Hill bring the best quality music to the masses. Their project isn’t just a great album. It’s one that will never be forgotten!
