INTRODUCTION I’m going down to the river to drown myself oh baby CHORUS I’m going down To drown myself because my baby is loving someone else I’m going down yes to drown myself because my baby is loving someone else now you know that’s why I’m going down VERSE 1 I know this feeling so well, not feeling so well this heartache, this old hell, trying to find my old self, still, bracing for a cold spell, snow fell about to book a suite at the Heartbreak hotel in a minute I’m a turn into the shining cause these days are pretty cloudy I can’t see a silver lining calls it like I sees it, keeps the focus on surviving cause these folks will try to tell you it gets better but they’re lying Reminiscing over arguments and past wrongs for the first time I'm relating to those sad songs it’s for the best, put your glasses on what good is my half, when my better half is gone (baby, well I've got to go) I’m a head into the river I’m a take a swim I’m a sink into the water while the record spins tonight I’m going down CHORUS I’m going down To drown myself because my baby is loving someone else I’m going down yes to drown myself because my baby is loving someone else now you know that’s why I’m going down VERSE 2 Minutes into hours and hours start pushing limits cross me over with the quickness I couldn’t predict your pivot Put an end to the future that we were dreaming about now I’m feeling home sick without leaving the house Staying haunted by the past it’ll poison me too found the rest of our memories on the soles of your shoes So i’ll dive into the river, while i’m holding the rock down until the last bubble rises up to the top naw, I’m swimming, my arms still spinning, you thought you were winning but this is just the beginning My hearts still beating you can hear it in the drums said enough is enough and I bet it toughens me up feeling better than ever I pull myself to the ground you left me all alone and you thought I would drown but the river ain’t nothing without you weighing me down Way down in my heart, way down in my heart! CHORUS I’m going down To drown myself because my baby is loving someone else I’m going down yes to drown myself because my baby is loving someone else now you know that’s why I’m going down

Wrote letters till my hands hurt value my work, wear intelligence just like my shirts i’m different thinking to the core gods, That's why it hurts, seen the landfills of people trying to be the first thanks for the lesson smif-n-wessun how my blessings burst gift and a curse, we enjoying life but see the hearse practicing, rehearse, like the pastor rolling out the church sheep guiding, we just here to put in all the work so let it work to your day off, they are, you off, but i’m on don’t stop, won’t stop, most stop, is this wrong breaking of momentum, moments for my air sniffing, take a deep breath for vision, it’s imagery for listening, Listen Why don’t you? I pray you can, the cycles that gave but I know What's then, is now, built up, then teared down, buried in my dreams, falling, break out, conclusions, freak out, the cycles completed, They ask me how it sounds or how you know arrival in your town let’s have a sit down and see what else we found I’m set to go, in a circle round and round, complete the cycle They ask me how it sounds or how you know arrival in your town let’s have a sit down and see what else we found I’m set to go, in a circle round and round, complete the cycle Two shots just like a code, programming my instincts long ago my cycles my own two shots, two spots, both hot, double pop trouble got, more plans, no fans, I got two shots, two spots, both hot, double pop trouble got, more plans, no fans, I got infurstructure, sharp to cut ya, eyes up to sky culture thoughts wrote you, ghost floater house holds stories touch ya Must of, turned cold, reload, unload, unload, reload, explode, implode, your soul, new soul, bank rolls, death tolls, Metros, so broke, life goes so fast, i’m last, till the end, till the end, till the end Just like a code, programming my instincts long ago and I know, though my cycles completed, it just won’t let me go They ask me how it sounds or how you know arrival in your town let’s have a sit down and see what else we found I’m set to go, in a circle round and round, complete the cycle They ask me how it sounds or how you know arrival in your town let’s have a sit down and see what else we found I’m set to go, in a circle round and round, complete the cycle

about

RHINO's new EP "The Leopard Dilemma" sees the British born, French based producer returning more closely to his Hip Hop roots. Blues samples mix seamlessly with boom bap drums, heavy bass lines and touches of both electronic and trap music blur the lines between old and new school beats. This creates the setting for some of the best MC's around to flaunt their rhymes.

The English duo Too Many T's, talk "Dreams" with their unique, high energy flows, France's best group of expats, ASM, Miscellaneous (Chill Bump) and Youthstar (Chinese Man Records), create an undeniable hip hop banger on Gaijins, Mattic and Justin Percival, become introspective on Cycle Complete and RHINO was even given permission to sample Ray Charles's vocals for the track "Going Down".

RHINO began making music with his first Akai MPC sampler at the age of 14. He had began DJing two years before that and bought his first MPC using the money he made selling mixtapes. This was at a time when people still actually bought tapes. Since then he has performed hundreds of shows all over the world, he created the successful projects ASM & Jukebox Champions, collaborated with a huge list of music industry heavy weights from MF DOOM to Chinese Man and become well known as an Akai MPC specialist. The Akai MPC, the legendary drum machine samplers that shaped the sound of Hip Hop, now sponsor RHINO and he even teaches masterclasses in music production and sampling with them. He's made music for TV, Adverts, Movies, and even ghost produces songs for other artists. The Leopard Dilemma is his first release with his new label Galant Records, nouvelle entité hip hop de Jarring Effects.

So, after all that, has he changed? "Almost everything about my life has changed" he replies, "but that is the leopard's dilemma, life is so different from when I began, the world is so different, but no matter what I do, I can't stop myself from making Hip Hop. A leopard can't change his spots".
