Hip-Hop legends Lower Life Forms drop their studio album "A Journey Through the Anthropocene"

Mister Wise and DJ Dialtone take listeners on a journey through time. 

The album begins on a Friday in the Fall of 1993, and with each track progresses through the duo’s remarkable lives until reaching the final two songs which are set in present day. 

Wise interweaves stories and perspectives with confident humility while maintaining the crew’s signature jazz fusion inspired sound that made their early work sought by Hip Hop history buffs and cultural enthusiasts. The stories are rich in detail, including documenting travels to New York on “Another Trip,” and the crew’s foundation of their own studio and independent label with “The Expert Setting.” 

Kurious and MF DOOM join as features on “DOOM on the Beatbox” spotlighting their friendship and creative collaborations in the mid 90s. 

As the album moves towards modern times, Wise addresses wide ranging topics from the fragility of human civilization, aging and physical exhaustion.

About Lower Life Forms:

As two thirds of the hip hop production squad, Team Demo, DJ Dialtone and Mister Wise have an impressive discography behind records for hip hop luminaries such as 50 Cent and Sean Price, but their musical career began in the early 1990s in Burke, Virginia as a duo known as the Lower Life Forms.

While still in high school, the Life Forms were spotted by Ahmed and Otis (dancers for the legendary group, 3rd Bass,) who signed them to a management deal. After prospects with two major labels dissolved, Wise founded Depth Charge Recordings, a label and recording studio operation centered around his extended family of artists, producers and djs, known collectively as Team Demolition. 

In 1997, the Lower Life Forms completed their debut album, “The Whole Universe is Ours,” and released their first 12 inch single, “Open Invitation.” After a small local cassette circulation, Wise opted to table the commercial release of the album to direct company resources towards production of Team Demolition’s debut album. Wise and Dialtone would spend the next 25 years amassing scores of artistic, production, and technical credits before re-emerging as the Lower Life Forms in late 2021 with the remastered pressing of “The Whole Universe is Ours” album on Belgian label, Back 2 Da Source Records.

After the release of Team Demo’s “It’s a Demo,” album in late 2023, Wise and Dialtone began exploring the idea of creating another Lower Life Forms album. Inspired by the renewed interest in the group’s early work, the duo embarked on a project that begins set in the early 90s and with each subsequent track, progresses towards present day. Special attention was made to adhering to the duo’s original jazz fusion inspired sound. The completed result, “A Journey Through the Anthropocene,” will be released on Friday 30th October 2025 - https://www.lowerlifeforms.com 

Apollo Brown and Ty Farris drop their next single and video "No Celebrations" ahead of studio album "Run Toward The Monster

The joint “No Celebrations” is all about the relentless grind it takes to reach the top, and the mindset it takes to stay there. 

It’s a reminder that no matter how much you win, how far you climb, or how loud the applause gets, humility has to come first. 

You might feel like poppin’ that bottle, but this isn’t the time to celebrate. There’s still more to build, more to prove, and more to become. 

The work doesn’t stop because of a little success. If anything, it gets harder and more personal. “As long as I’m breathin’, I’m workin’…” 

That’s the code. Stay focused. Stay grounded. The mission’s not done yet.

No Celebrations is out now - https://ffm.to/nocelebrations 

Run Toward the Monster is out Friday 14th November - https://ffm.to/runtowardthemonster

Koncept is ready to “Put It On” with his brand new single and video!

Following the triumphant energy of “The Greatest Bounce Back,” Koncept delivers “Put It On” — a bold, infectious anthem that showcases another side of his evolution. 

The track packs a sharp punch of charisma, blending crisp production, tight lyricism, and a head-nodding rhythm that embodies confidence in its purest form.

The single feels like a soundtrack to self-assurance — a reminder to own your presence, step boldly into the spotlight, and embrace individuality without hesitation. Its groove-driven beat and commanding vocal delivery make it a standout anthem that lingers long after it ends.

Designed for movement, energy, and vibe, “Put It On” is as much about attitude as it is about music. It’s a track built for moments where confidence meets expression, whether on stage, in the streets, or in your own reflection.

“Put It On” is another glimpse into Koncept’s upcoming album — Flight, a project rooted in his upbringing, transformation, and evolution — showcasing the balance between personal growth and artistic fearlessness that drives his journey forward.

In the Music Video, shot in London, United Kingdom, Koncept takes you on a trip across the world, but somewhere that feels familiar to where he grew up in Queens, New York.

It's time to Put It On!
