Here's a telling taster of what to expect from CARPETFACE on his forthcoming “COGNITIVE DISS” album due out July, which also features music from UGLY DUCKLING's YOUNG EINSTEIN and guest vocals from legendary RHYME SYNDICATE founder-member / frontman DONALD D. Original fresh hiphop with a classic feel to make all the heads nod for 3 reasons - conscious informed lyrics, infectious hooks and sick sick beats.
A)
DON'T GET IT TWISTED ( Original Mix) produced by CARPETFACE
-a downtempo, dark and moody track focusing on the themes of deception / propaganda / corruption, misconceptions about governmental control, individual sovereignty and knowing one's rights - A no-holds-barred, smouldering rant neatly sandwiched in between 2 big baritone chorus hooks with haunting harmonies imploring the listener not to succumb to fake news.
B)
DON'T GET IT TWISTED (Spikey D&B Remix)
prod. PHILLY THE KID (URBAN WARFARE CREW)
Exactly the type of authenticly gnarly underground sound to expect from longstanding D&B veterans Urban Warfare Crew, with dancefloor friendly buildups, dirty drops and filthy synth bass hits galore.
2 more remixes of this track are also in the pipeline for release in Feb – one on more of a Jungle/Drumstep tip from URBAN WARFARE's DJ SWEETLEAF, plus another dark downtempo Hiphop version remixed by French producer DJAR ONE courtesy of Beats House Records / Serpat Crew (LH)

DON'T get right and wrong mixed up with legal
DON'T get the law mixed up with common sense
DON'T get the vote mixed yup with your choices
DON'T mix yes and no with on the fence
DON'T get drugs mixed up with medication
Or education up with your school
DON'T let your rights be something they read you
DON'T let your life be something they rule
DON'T mix the news with your information
DON'T mix worthwhile up with a trend
DON'T mix your name up with legal fiction
DON'T mix a like clicked up witih a friend
DON'T mix tax with your contribution
DON'T mix an adult up with a man
DON'T get rich mixed up with successful
DON'T mix submit up with understand

DON'T.
IT MIGHT SEEM EASIER BUT DON'T
I KNOW IT'S FUCKING TEMPTING BUT DON'T
I BEG YOU BEG YOU BEG YOU BEG YOU NO
DON'T GET IT TWISTED

Even though I'm not free like I wanted to be, ain't no barcoding me . Thats truly not groovy so you get no doobie. Sue me you floosie i do the Watoosy produce a beat as you speak through the loo seat. Now booze-free, on or off the Mic the true me's kind of bluesy,
you heard the name but when they view me theyre like "who's he?"
"I don't want to think about it, beatbox amuse me"
but it's my duty to speak the truth til you and all your crew see
the madness like the governator lighting up Tookie,
seen it coming like a fucking bookie .
your paradigm crumbling like cookies fumbling like bad nookie
mumbling like a rookie take a looky at the books
The FTSI crooksies off the hooksy and I'm through.
You should be ashamed of the things that you do.
Just you wait til the other foot's inside the shoe
you know we used to make love but today we just screw.
And thats the fucking problem.
The heartless. robbing and we do nothing to stop them
blinded by the shiny limelight climbing the heights. the only ladder worth climbing is the one in your tights. yes I meant what I just said but joking if you're taken, hot and sizzle pop fry your eggs spit like bacon, yeah I like to toast but don't ever ' pretend to be Jamaican I aint faking, making them awaken shaking is painstaking and im brazen making moves tectonic plates quaking in your face throwing shapes going ape on a vape eating mcs like cake.
Mic cable round the neck like a superhero cape.
Somebody gimme a fucking break
