Zico Chain

Zico Chain are a rock band from London, United Kingdom, formed in 2002. To date, they have released two full albums entitled Food and The Devil in Your Heart, a self titled EP and an EP called These Birds Will Kill Us All. The band opened the main stage at the Download Festival on 8 June 2007. They supported Velvet Revolver on their 2007 summer tour of the UK, in support of their second album Libertad. Their new album The Devil in Your Heart was released on 16 April 2012.

Early years

The band formed in East London. Vocalist-bassist Chris Glithero had moved there from Manchester, and met guitarist Paul Frost and drummer Ollie Middleton. Their dissatisfaction with 21st-century British rock helped them connect with one another. Influenced by such bands as Motörhead, Queens of the Stone Age, The White Stripes and System of a Down, they began recording, and soon were signed to Hassle Records. For their first EP, they worked with Ted Miller, who has previously worked with Placebo. They then toured with Nine Black Alps, Alkaline Trio, Cave In and The Fall of Troy. They had a number-one video on MTV2's chart. Slash and Duff McKagan of Velvet Revolver (and Guns N' Roses) revealed that Zico Chain were their favourite new band. On 9 November 2009, the band released a standalone single "These Birds Will Kill Us All" with B-sides "Blood 'N Bile" and "Daycase", available on iTunes among other internet sites.

Food Records

Food Records was a record label set up in 1984 by David Balfe, who later took on Andy Ross as his partner. Originally formed as an independent record label with distribution going through Rough Trade Distribution, Food also licensed acts though WEA Records, before becoming closely associated with the EMI group's Parlophone label. EMI invested in the label and then in 1994 EMI gained complete control and folded it into Parlophone in 2000.

Artists

Food was sold to EMI by David Balfe in 1994. Andy Ross continued running Food as a sub-label of EMI, where it was the record label of Blur, Idlewild, Jesus Jones, Dubstar, The Supernaturals, Octopus and Grass Show.

The Food Christmas EP

In December 1989, Food Records released The Food Christmas EP (FOOD 23) that featured Food artists covering each other's songs. Crazyhead covered Diesel Park West's "Like Princes Do", Jesus Jones covered Crazyhead's "I Don't Want That Kind Of Love" and Diesel Park West covered Jesus Jones' "Info-Freako". The EP was released on CD, 7" vinyl, 12" and a limited gatefold sleeve 12" vinyl.

Food (band)

Food (established 1998) is an experimental jazz band initiated by Ian Bellamy and Thomas Strønen after a coincidental meeting first in Trondheim, Norway and later in Molde 1997. They got two jobs at Moldejazz 1998, that were recorded, and the first album Food (2000) was a fact.

Food is highlighting the delicate balance between Ballamy’s melodic and lyrical playing and the electronic soundscapes and grooves from Strønen. They play as duo as well as with invited guests like on the second, Organic and GM Food. Both of the two first albums was published on Ballamy's short-lived Feral Records, before the quartet moved to Rune Grammofon, where they released two more albums, Veggie (2002) and Last Supper (2004). These albums were all with Henriksen and Eilertsen. Ballamy and Strønen played duo featuring Maria Kannegaard and Ashley Slater for the 5th album Molecular Gastronomy (2006). The next two releases incorporated Nils Petter Molvær, and others.

    Recording

    The band opted to convert a warehouse in Haverhill into a makeshift studio, rather than use a more traditional studio setting. According to Sully Erna, the band just didn't want to move into any luxurious studio, because they wanted to keep the edge on for writing and "not get too far away from what we're all about". So they just stayed in the slums rather than moving into luxury.

    Erna says the results show in the music's "tougher" sound, however it has a very raw edge to it. It's not very polished," he says. "But it still has a lot of good grooves, and it still has a lot of power."

    Awake (Snoop Dogg song)

    "Awake" is a song by American rapper Snoop Dogg, taken from his thirteenth album, Bush (2015). The song, produced by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo. The song contains additional vocals performed by Pharrell.

    313 (Feat. Eye Kyu)

    by: Eminem

    [Eye-Kyu:] Now what you know about a sweet MC, from the 313
    None of these skills you bout to see come free
    So you wanna be a sweet MC, you gotta become me
    If you ever wanna be one see
    [Eminem:] Man what you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
    None of these skills you bout to see come free
    So you wanna be a sweet MC, you better become me
    If you ever wanna be one see
    [Verse 1: Eye-Kyu]
    Yo some people say I'm whack, now if that's right
    I'm the freshest whack MC that you ever heard, in your lifetime
    My slick accapella sounds clever with the beats
    Boy I'm the deepest thing since potholes to ever hit the streets
    Forgot a gold digger's succubus , my souls thick with ruggedness
    With the mic I'm like a dyke, can't no nigga fuck with this
    I got more Different Strokes than Philip Drummound
    On open mic I bone your women just to keep my lyrics coming (bitch)
    We elevated to new heights premeditated
    Let it be that I stated they hate it now that they see that I made it
    The escalated can be put to the test of greatness
    Snatch the heart from MC's and I ate it
    So I take it that's the reason I'm hated
    To represent my temperment
    If rap was a dick all you so called hard MC's would not be impitant
    But pimping it, and acting like you could rock a show (so)
    Harder than LL's Rock the Bells, but you is a ho (now)
    Everything that you collaborate I lacerate
    My rhymes they keep coming like nympho maniacs that masturbate
    At a faster rate, yeah I got something for your ass to hate
    I blasterate, and have you all running master gates
    And as for face clutching and touching the flows
    I got them open like marijuana smoke up in your nose
    Bucking these hoes, I got that shit down to a science
    Leaving them hot and bothered, turned on like an appliance
    Defiance, no we won't have that
    You want your shit to blow up?
    Well I'ma stuff some dynamite in your ass crack
    And blast that shit to kingdom come
    Then bring them some of this real hip-hop
    I drop beats and you ain't singing or gonna do a thing about
    And you all knew from Meeko
    That you couldn't hold your own with the strength of Lou Forigno
    So stop that bullshit and flow
    Yo, you need to come with the real skills, and act like you know
    [Chorus: Eminem]
    So what you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
    None of these skills you bout to see come free
    So you wanna be a sweet MC, you better become me
    If you ever wanna be one see
    [Eye-Kyu:] Now what you know about a sweet MC, from the 313
    None of these skills you bout to see come free
    So you wanna be the sweet MC, you gotta become me
    If you ever wanna be one see
    [Verse 2: Eminem]
    So what, you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
    You don't know shit so when you see one flee
    You can be Run-D, you'll never beat the MC
    I'll stop the alphabet at S and got it down to a T
    I'm sure your bound to agree, a sweet MC crashes the spot
    I'll make the roof hot like I was Rock Master Scott
    Your ass forgot, so just in case you don't remember me
    I'll run your brain around the block to jog your fucking memory
    It's either them or me man, kill or be killed
    You will and be sealed your casket closed you still gonna be billed
    My facilities filled with fans, packed to capacity
    I'll send a rapper back with the crack of his ass shitty
    If he's acting soft and he cowers
    He better come cleaner then Jay Rue jacking off when he showers
    You flowers got no clout with a thing
    You could date a stick of dynamite and wouldn't go out with a bang
    I showered the slang, simple as A,B,C's
    Skip over the D's and rock the microphone with E's
    Dethrone MC's and I'ma max alone
    Relax your dome like a solo from a saxophone
    So facts are known, writers get treated with shocks
    I rock a beat harder then you could beat it with rocks
    I'm greeted with flocks, of fellow follower's singers
    You couldn't make the fans throw up their hands if they swallowed their
    fingers
    But you can bring yours let's see what you got
    But don't front and never try to be what you're not
    Cause you can be quick, jump the candlestick, burn your back
    And fuck Jill on a hill, but you still ain't Jack
    [Chorus: Eye-Kyu]
    So what you know about a sweet MC, from the 313
    None of these skills you just seen come free
    So you wanna be a sweet MC, you'll never become
