After 15 years buried in the vault, "Leviathan" resurfaces. Originally started in 2009, Scienz Of Life's album gets a full reconstruction at the hands of German producer Figub Brazlevic, in collaboration with Krekpek Records. What started back then was left dormant for years, until Figub decided to strip it down and rebuild it from scratch.
The release also features two remixes from trusted names Parental and KOE The Flavekid. Built on years of mutual respect and creative chemistry between Scienz Of Life and Figub Brazlevic, this rework is just another chapter in an ongoing collaboration, with a brand new Scienz Of Life album already taking shape.
"Hot Ramen" is the first single from the upcoming collaborative album of the same name, delivered by Beatmaker/Producer Budamunk from Tokyo, Japan and Scienz Of Life 's John Robinson. The album is available on super limited edition vinyl via Vinyl Digital(only 100 copies, each with a special OBI strip). Check the video !
Visuals for "Build Collective", the collaborative single released by J. Scott da illesT and the group Scienz of Life. The production is managed by Invizible Handz a.k.a ID4Windz.
"Back on track straight to your speaker! Almost 120 minutes, packed as always with indie, classical pieces and exclusive interviews.
"Riverside Pictures" marked the debut album by Walkin' Large creating buzz far beyond Germany. We spoke to O.N.O and reviewed the entire album recording period through to the first live shows and his trip to New York to record features such as Jeru The Damaja.
During the mid-to-late 90's, Scienz Of Life flourished in the underground scene with releases on Fondle 'Em and later on SubVerse Music. Over the years, the trio consisting of Lil Sci (also known as John Robinson), Inspector Willabe and ID 4 Windz built a massive reputation in conscious rap. ID. 4 Windz and Lil' Sci aka John Robinson look back on the years of their first steps as a band and let us think back on many memories." - courtesy of 90's Tapes

Over the years, the trio consisting of Lil Sci (also known as John Robinson), Inspector Willabe and ID 4 Winds built a massive reputation in conscious rap with singles like "Powers Of Nine Ether" or "Doin' Our Thing" which still remain timeless. "BX To New Jeru" is a collection of tracks from that era including 6 never before released demo tracks from the original tapes." - courtesy of 90's Tapes
Available in a limited run on 3LP in Gatefold sleeve (500 copies), 2CD in Jewel Case (300 copies) & Double Cassette (100 copies).
The group Scienz Of Life is back with a brand new joint entitled "Warrior Awakening".
"It's the Brothers you may have heard Kicking 9 Ether through ya speakers with Bobbito Garcia in the mid 90's era or maybe you've heard them spitting outside the lounge with Talib Kweli, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and others. At the very least you should have witnessed their high-level lyricism alongside the Super Villain DOOM on Yikes, Sorcerers, New Music, and featured on King Geedorah's Next Level tune. Sci (J.R.) and Invizible Handz aka The Robinson Brothers are still cooking up their signature thought-provoking offerings a quarter century later and counting. Warrior Awakening is their latest release and they are letting the world know that the Warriors around the Globe both male and female, young and old are awakening more than ever to the truth about all things around us. The Warriors can't stay ASLEEP FOREVER YALL!"
Official video of the single "Dropping Guillotines" dropped by the Florida-based emcee NapsNdreds, off his latest project entitled "Super Braff". The track is produced by Maxamill and features John Robinson from Scienz of Life.
Divine Mind was an ATL-based production crew formed by Merlin, Resol and Mr Rictor who can be considered as the core member of the group. This 12" is the third and final Divine Mind's release. It came out in 2001 on Rent Money Recordings. The wax is composed of the track "Front Page" on the A-side produced by Chris Craft a.k.a Mr Rictor featuring Rubix, Scienz Of Life & Mikchek, and the track "Centerstage" produced by Resol featuring MF Doom (RIP), Supremacy and Felix on the B-side.
In 1998 , this 12" was released by a hip-hop trio named 3rd Degree from Piscataway New Jersey, about an hour outside of New York City. The group consisted of Terrence Eldridge a.k.a Ill-Technique, Scott Mack a.k.a Macadon and Randy Sconiers a.k.a UCZ (pronounced Uceez). The 12" is composed of 2 tracks named "Nobody's Bizness" and "Travel Through The Darkness" available in their Radio, Street and Instrumental versions.
If you want to dig this, you need to know that the wax is really hard to find online for a descent price and I've never seen one in a record store...
UCZ : "Tek and Mac are cousins that grew up together. I met both just walking to school around the age of 13 as I was new to the town. They were already doing music and I was already doing music so it was an instant connection. We were all creatives with a love for Hip-Hop Culture and it just started ! The 3 of us formed the group and the rest is history. We have so much music together as we recorded everything ourselves. Mars Entertainment was our label that we created. It was under that umbrella that all of our work was released.
UCZ :"We definitely had intentions on putting out the album and had so much material but we started doing side projects, producing for other artist, and it never materialized until we released an album called 'Mars Stars', which was a Mix Tape album with 3rd Degree and our artist. There was so much fire on that but we just didn’t push it enough. We’re thinking about releasing it on I-tunes cause it’s such a dope album. All produced by us.
Ill-Tek and I have produced for Scienz of Life. Tek actually did a few joints with them and it’s on their Best of Scienz of Life album as a producer.
UCZ :"We grew up with JR, ID, so it’s dope to see JR still doing great work. We mainly did stuff for local artist out here. Born, B-Rock, L-Wyze, Naypalm, and some other local talent including singers as well. Our studio was also a business so we always had artist coming through for beats. We were selling beats/studio time back then with our ASR-10 Keyboard...that was our foundation.
We used to do Beat Battles and Showcases out here in Jersey so that was dope to showcase ourselves as producers as well. We were similar to the Beatnuts in that regard... 3 man team of MCs and Producers."
In 2016, Kyle Lilly uploaded a video recorded in 1998 with a full interview of 3rd Degree and a Showcase performance with 2 unreleased songs from the album. The video comes from a show called 'Video Explosion'. For those who don't know it, it was a Hip Hop/R&B/Soul/Reggae and Pop video program produced and directed by Haywood "Hollywood" Oakman. The program debuted in Queens, NY in 1991 and was shot in all boroughs of NYC, and New Jersey.
UCZ : "At that time we just did everything through word of mouth. We put up stickers and sent the 12" to Stretch & Bobbito and they played it and some other stations locally played it as well. It still getting posted on YouTube. We see people talking about it which is cool. We definitely wished we would have worked it more!"
Unreleased tracks coming soon on the blog... stay tuned !
