A-Alikes 'Bridges To Nowhere' feat Afayah, J.Ivy (Occupy Wall Street)

For Immediate Release – (New York, NY – November 22, 2011) – A-Alikes release single “Bridges to Nowhere” off forthcoming album Us Against Them.

Known for their politically-rooted lyrics, Occupy Wall Street was the appropriate backdrop for the “Bridges to Nowhere” video shoot capturing the sign of the times and radical change for which the revolutionary-spirited hip-hop group is known. “Bridges to Nowhere” was produced by the late DJ Metaphysic [June, 2011 passing], who also produced for such artists as Immortal Technique, Dead Prez and Action Bronson to name a few.

A-Alikes branched off into film after the release of their last album I Eat You Eat [2006] with “Ballot or the Bullet” documentary chronicling President Obama’s election [screened countrywide and abroad, 2008]. Ness, one half of the A-Alike duo, cites DJ Metaphysic as the catalyst for completing the album and further attests, “Us Against Them is about a world in transition… it’s about conflict, it’s about community, it’s about us and it’s about them.”

The video shot by Exile Ramirez, features Afaya (also featured on previous lp I Eat You Eat), as well as spoken word poet, J. IVY (featured on Kanye West’s first project) and cameo appearance by Russell Simmons.

A-Alikes’ involvement in Occupy Wall Street was reported in Huffington Post article http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/14/occupy-the-hood-occupy-wall-street_n_1009850.html.

From music to the big screen, A-Alikes remain steadfast in their advocacy for political freedom and progression. Stay tuned for more videos by A-Alikes in coming weeks.

Us Against Them will be available on iTunes and A-Alikes.net the first quarter of 2012.

Eye2025 - Digital World Ft. Raye 6 (Jack Deezl Remix) <---(click here to go to page)

EYE2025* (a.k.a. IllumiNessence) (SoFlo Entertainment/Guerilla Art) Fresh back from touring Tokyo, Japan,illuminNessence takes us on a dark, rhythmic exploration of our modern “Digital World.” The remix, cooked up by Jack Deezl out of Philadelphia, features the other-worldly vocals of Brooklyn based sensationRaye 6. The dark minimalistic electro Deezl brings, perfectly captures illuminNessence’s ominous message of the future – a future around the corner where we are completely entrenched in the digital world we’ve created. We rapidly lose our ability to truly feel, truly love and truly live. Raye 6’s eerily beautiful hook compliments the apocalyptic feel of "Digital World". Lyrics like “Spend hours on the internet/everything is at your fingertips/’Stead of telling her you love her you textin’ it/Living in a Digital World.” Perfectly illuminates the age we’re living in and are quickly driving towards. Once again, illuminNessence shows us the bleak yet beautiful world of 2025, a future just around the corner. “Digital World” is available now on iTunes. EYE2025* - "Digital World" Ft.

For years he and his partner A-Black, along with the rest of the RBG/People Army family (dead prez, Divine of the Dey, etc) have been on a mission to bring to light the world of the have-nots, and send out a call to arms to rise up, educate and build community. Illuminessence is currently in the studio working on forthcoming chapters to the EYE2025* epic, co-writing the script with Director Paul Biedrzyck to an as yet untitiled futuristic poli sci-fi film that inspired the soundtrack, and putting the finishing touches on the A-Alikes next LP Us Against Them.

LYRICS2025* 'Where Do We Go' - EYE2025*CHAPTER1

SONG:Where Do We Go

Intro:
It was the best of the times
It was the worst of times
It was a season of light
It was a season of darkness
we had everything before us
we had nothing before us
in short
it was a period very like the present (like the present)


Chorus:
Where do we go from here
go from
Where do we go (where do we Go)
Where do we go from here
Go from
Where do we go
(repeat)


Verse:
We at the point of no return
government got money to burn
I turned on, tuned in but I look around & its like nobody concerned
uh
they tryin' to put a chip in my finger but nigga I'm sucka free
they tryin' to tax me, track me, sell me, kill me, but me I just wanna be me
uh
this been going on for centuries they been tryin' to bring a end to me
a end to we, a end to us, us against the machine, til we dead or free
some might call this insanity, me I call this humanity
dignity in the face of tragedy
bring a end to the system thru calamity
thru strategy
risk casualties
life, limb, friend and family
this ain't fantasy, this reality
niggas livin' in a dream like they half asleep
this aint Master P, this aint Cash Money, this aint Jay Z, Diddy or some rappers G
this is blasphemy to the powers that be
to them Cowards that scared of attackin' the beast
& slavery so last century
2017 to eternity
lets go
lets go
lets go
