Generik: My days go from passive as flux, to passionate as flux Black magnum for your 8-inch hockey puck for maximum nuts Future, delorean, capacitor flux! Sometimes I don’t wanna talk to I hide Sometimes I don’t wanna walk to glyde One time I let a bitch kill my pride Let me take you on a trip on my natural high They call it cancer, she calls them moles I call them constellations from the soul Generik dubbed Jonaire by Dr.Greene The one and only clae steezy Making hard look easy Tracks make you wanna put them on replay Making ladies wanna do whatever we say Thick and juicky like a muthafarkin cheesecake You see haters, we see motivators Im an alligator about to bite these carps Hella fakers, im an innovator You’re an ankle, im a great white shark Whats the word? Haven’t you heard? Lookin cool as the worlds biggest herb Word, loser in gear, cruising in fear Hear hear to the douche of the year! Aneken: I’mma ancient assailant, waiting for my patience To kick in, till then I'm wishing That I could heal stitches, I will reveal vicious Winding rhyme schemes, I'm finding In dreams forward is rewinding Push play, who say?, what date? whats today? No time, what date? fuck fate, don't wait... For the world to give you a hand, Make what you can and let it Expand Destiny, my enemy ,my energy Gets distorted by my enemies When it enters me, hate that intervenes Its like a parasite, that can kill my dreams Where would I be? The possibility? These abilities without any Pottery?

(Generik) LNC we’re way ahead of our time We got over everything before it hit prime Before you caught on we were over it Im getting high on a sober tip (Aneken) Lnc Fibbanachi design, Midas touch, Golden ratio, we taking our time Know your destiny, before your told of it Hands like this cuz were molding it (Generik) We’re shaping it, re-creating it writing it, constantly inspiring it You are now part of the history If your listening, witness the mystery (Aneken) We’re taking it, never faking it, Feel what we are, it feel like an alien, The light of the stars, thru a homo sapien, We will embark, are you saving it? This is art and you are craving it (Generik) You’re a wall in the dark and our light is Breaking IT Carved in the hearts and minds of aimless kids Written in the caves and ancient scripts Rediscovered by the poets who came to spit (Aneken) I’m carbon dating it, seeing Pleiadian Drive me crazy in my cranium Starvin’ hatin’ carbon datin’ Workin’late and penetration… (Generik) Straight to the core of your pineal Opening the doors of your vibrant soul Enlightenment through a hyper-glow But none of this ever goes viral though (Aneken) You should pray(prey) inside of a tigers dome If you’re a black sheep you should live alone Or you could stay a sheep or be a wolf Round up the sheep and start a cult (Generik) Lead them to the palace and start a revolt Break their skulls and take a vote Who is a gypsea? Who is a ghost? Utilize magic, vanish in smoke (Aneken) Reappear with a beard on a steer that’s feared In the future taste what I hear its weird Music like cinamin the sound of a vitamin Taste my environment, spice in a fire pit, (Chorus) LNC misfits from the future Coming back to the past to choose you Come with us through all portals Take you anywhere, we’re not normal Your not normal, don’t be normal

Aneken: Do you remember wannabe gangstas and their vendettas? Let us, discuss this suburban offender’s purpose… Nervous about the length of his pubescent member Tell us why you wishes to be a menace Dennis? “Heard Easy E Boyz In the Hood now you actin felon Up to no good, B B gun shootin up with them pellets Your whole life pleasant, never was a peasant, Confess it you’re stressin a lifestyle you have never messed with. Generik: Look at the little tyke, mini as kilobyte Killing a pillow fight, fiddling Fisher Price Short as a millipede, trips off a little weed Straight from the Philippines, clean cut like guillotine It’s the American dream, we live in Pleasantville Technology will keep me forever ill Safe under mommy's roof but ya'll never heard of me Afraid of the world, suburban insecurity Aneken: You can flaunt it, Malibu’s most wanted… Being honest, I think you should go to college, Is this Compton Carlton?... you acting hard again, Good boy, Hood toy, got me annoyed. Middle class, drinkin a Pabst thinking he’s bad? Really man… that Cadillac really your dad’s. Bumping 90’s gangsta rap but it got you frontin’ Leave that act to those who get gatz to clap in public Generik: Gangster to hipster, pussyfoot to pillow pants Religious children high off that ignorance Concentrated digital stimuli, my brain is fried Oversaturated mall fast food till I die Military gridlock, paranoia phobia Harvested sheep, media controlling you Suburban earning is disturbing no doubt The outcome of our income is our incomes all run out

And the Insects! It’s the Bugs! And the Insects! It’s the Bugs! I’m an insect building an Empire Generik: Imma bumble-bee humbly buzzin above chubby swarm w/ my clan hustlin honey for money Caution, look at my yellow and black stripes if you aint nice ill stab you, allergic?

Aneken: Reborn identity, say it, let it be One day, heavenly, live hard, remember me After, eternity, i'll be, in your dream i'll take, you with me, i'll lead, certainty is the name of the game, i'll never fade away Or be the same, we will change, and soon be replaced Become the slave, you going for first place? The new wave a fad, artificial taste? Sex is my love drug, Money is for young thugs i love this, what i love, i know its enough Fame is a lame game, do you really wanna play? What if that lie becomes your permanent face? I'm amazing yet, i face regret and sweat, I'm like everyone else waking up to debt If more is less, then i got no depth If less is more, then yes I never stress Generik: Lets say I've been saved in the most correct way I fled away from the airwaves of the mindless sex craze popped it into the tape deck and fell in love when I pressed play Stimulated angel halo and let it sway reflecting my best days, in my brain, engraved lost then regained my wings living games of chess play lets pray that we make it to the next day the best say, "always gotta bow to your Sensei-tion" temptation on the come and go LNC best kept secret that you wanna know probably the cure to the chemical additives exclusive like a center fold telephone line hacked, satellite got your soul and mind hijacked LNC be the remedy, heavenly vibrations d-d-dance to the melody resonating w/ your DNA, haters jealous cause they never seen us play with the words and the rhythms and the energies love is how we destroy our enemies eternal empathy is what we've got for the world aye bro, pay attention to your girl I know what you doing and I know your slippin social network got your girl friend trippin? pour your heart out and your boy won't listen? relationship feel like who were you and I kiddin? you are where you are cause you blew the right wish gotta conquer the world like a do or die miss/ion

Generik: Its Holloween, I swallow your bottle dreams And vomit em’ out/ your brain-dead like a hollow machine Follow my lead pumpkin, humping your muffin All huffin and puffin like a strugglin munchin thuggin Chugging LNC liquor 170 proof Get you higher than heavens roof Slaughter a Nazi zombie rockin Abercrombie Illuminati on the other end of my walkie-talkie I’ve been taken to the underwater cities Let you in on all of the nitty gritty A hidden army of trained gorillas and drones Mindless clones, demilitarized zones, you think you’re alone? You’re not paranoid; you did hear that click in your telephone Or maybe a Polaroid snapshot demonic claws in the cash pot Satan is a priest and God is a crackpot in disguise Chorus: Are you a Zombie? I hope I'm not a Zombie Work a 9 to 5 sleep walk looking groggy Are you a Zombie? I hope I'm not a Zombie Can't feel my pulse but its not Rick's Fault. Aneken: "I am legend", "Are you afraid of the dark?" I won’t let them poison the love in your heart Dream with me, "Nightmare on elm Street", "28 days later", flesh is sweet meat, Don’t let Scully find me, Mulder’s behind me, Imma " X-file", mouth in a “Oh wow!” Permanently, yes burn with me? Had to ask, common zombie, toe curling courtesy, "Tales of the Crypt", tonight take flight, Kill off your weakness, kill off your fight, Is that a demon or kite? Dreaming or real life? Taste that blood, blood as cold as Ice Unsolve the mystery, Company love Misery I go beyond what I can do to you physically Exhaust possibilities, Zombie?…This what dinner be Raw human flesh, without care if she feeling me. Chorus: Are you a Zombie? I hope I'm not a Zombie Work a 9 to 5 sleep walk looking groggy Are you a Zombie? I hope I'm not a Zombie Can't feel my pulse but its not Rick's Kaus: Chest throbbing and soon to be flesh rotting I've gotten a little paranoid lately because we're not in a movie or any video game it's kinna strange I've noticed it since a toddler, model inside my brain they hollow in every vein, numb misery, love and pain they hunt with their instincts, unconcious of what they gain they want you and every aim's to keep you inside a lane the game that we all play is particularly insane we claim to not participate, but stick our parts each of us playing roles, we lose a brain or a heart losing flesh by the minute and even say that it's art we some prey, just some fishes and we contained with a shark that's attracted to blood, and tracks movement and light creative minds of muthafukkas that are losing they sight knows right when to strike, and not ever afraid to bite we fight these dead people, retaliate with the mic

Chorus: Arnold Schwarzenegger bout to perform an abortion later, Drinking Tequila with the right Proportion of Jager (x2) Aneken: He eats rutabaga, good for food absorption later, After drinkin’ a margarita with a petite looking waiter Hiding armor under the blazer, doesn’t seem to faze her, As long as Arnold Does the flexy faces he will tame her Herculean New Yorker, His suits must be tailored, He will keep the order keep dames from any danger. Its part of his nature, robotic messiah savior After he saves ya, he does a victory dance raver! Arnold Schwarzenegger would look a lil better with make up Transvestite terminator, shake his tits, sperm ya later Robot sex percolator, master baby maker, massive oscillator, Masturbate with an awesome costume much later Generik: Gimme your clothes and your shotgun, Terminator. Gimme your vote under the hot sun, Governator. Californicatin, Holly-would your local neighbor explore the layer full of whores and unfortunate players? In a game extorted for the foreign labor Contorted and proportioned by a ghostly coordinator. Jonaire enforced the slayer w/ the sort of force of nature so horrible, your quotable’s will resort to prayer. Jon Connor vendetta, pitch for and laser. We’re going to war over the score with the sort of anger torn from a poor design to reform the danger Reborn from the norm, LNC the source of flavor.

Aneken: I don’t know what keeps me going, im potent, im like a modem, Processing information, I keep it deeply in focus, I know the datas bogus, I hold the world on my shoulders, The scientist is the coldest, that’s why I’m in love with poets. They beautiful & don’t know it, so they rarely even show it, Appearances are so bogus; can you believe some don’t know this? They fight as if they’re soldiers but their fights is just for posers Know your deeper motives and don’t ignore all the omens Generik: I was told by an oracle my words would be quotable My rhetorical historical, my vocal chords explorable Adorably affordable, anti-socially notable A ghost float emotional, a joke below horrible A broken bowl smokable, soak a whole ocean full with notes I wrote alone ago, a bloke who stole a portable soul with no totem pole coke with no overdose, choke a moaning goat with those open-nosed Poconos, polka Rome motorhome Cocoa-dome adobe home, mocha foam Cocomo Yoko Ono over though.

Generik: How do i get outta this jam? if i knew how to work this hand I could avoid this scam, find my way to the Promised Land Dig feet real deep, into the sand, don’t gotta compete to understand I want to be free from all command, I want to become a better man Wanna fly high, peter pan, don’t wanna die to make a hundred grand I’m innocent not Azkaban, don’t gotta be a kid to find never land a smart man told me to grow up, a wise man told me to stay young if you want to change the world then show love so many choices, make one find your happiness within the madness, it’s not calculus to imagine your a piece of galactic canvas, above average, fantastic Aneken: Paint on my canvas, faint like a phantom Artists, people who imagine, The farthest, thoughts like phantoms Manipulate time, I don’t know what happened What came first? What came first? The visuals? Or the words in this verse? Descriptive, Vivid how I live it, Canvas, share it with kindred… Spirits hear it, I’m peerless To beat the game you must be fearless, They made a game about appearance, Look at me now not so serious Laughin out loud, talking like a skeptic, Walking like a cynic, writing all my visions Typing all my issues, painting thru these words For sure it does occur to me its all a blur

Gotta cut the fat!! Generik: Only dorks want to be rappers Only clowns get all the laughter The impatient want to skip chapters praise satan and get there faster only the selfish want all the cream got to work hard if you want to live your dream don’t want to do all the work to get to the top? Your excess fat, you’re about to get chopped! I don’t need that, I don’t feel that, I don’t want your negative energy You make me feel like I need to crap real bad I think I just flushed another enemy You’re a cancer, Im a white blood cell Capture you inside of hell With a rhyme designed to eliminate the whack Cause’ aint nobody got time for that! Aneken: When they hold you back…CUT THE FAT When they hate like that…CUT THE FAT When they kill your mood…CUT THE FAT Get back your groove and …CUT THE FAT Reinvigorate it…CUT THE FAT And you can shape it…CUT THE FAT Get that lard outta my yard Burn that fat inna fat red star Watch it burn, the flames will churn As they yearn to …CUT THE FAT The heat of the universe is on that search to …CUT THE FAT You wanna be a star? Then don’t rap You wanna be hard? Drop the act Too many lyrics, not enough meaning, So much spirit, but your just dreaming, Time for action no more scheming You were my friend so …CUT THE CRAP Lies that never end so I…CUT THE FAT Behind my back I’ve had enough of that.

about

San Diego Music Awards (SDMA) nominated for "Best Hip Hop Album" 2015

“ARTiFACTS "extra special good" review "The first true album since 2009 for veteran hip-hop duo Generik and Aneken is filled to the brim with eclectic samples, buzzy bass and all manner of squiggles, sproings and whirs. At the center of this vibrant sonic swirl are to MCs who are not only lyrically thoughtful, but also skilled at using their voices in melodic, interesting and unconventional ways. "Arnold Schwarzenegger" is a representative cut; it sounds like Kool Keith and circa-2000 Eminem riding a homemade rocket through a nitrous cloud. As hip-hop's aesthetic stretches at warp speed thanks to weirdoes like Young Thug and Rae Sremmurd, it's easy to see a path to a break-through for Left in Company.”

— Ben Salmon, San Diego CityBeat

Our first proper album since 2009. An ouroboro that starts from the end and ends where it begins. This selection of Art i Facts have been rediscovered and refurbished from the caves of the LNC blacksheep.

"Left In Company is Generik & Aneken out of San Diego, CA. These guys have been putting in work together on stage and in the studio since 2006. Their new album ARTiFACTS is fun and quirky, whimsical and at times inspiring. Music for both the casual and heavy listener. Enjoy the subtle sonic details in headphones or blast the high energy out of your preferred speakers. This 30 minute joy ride is just right for appreciators of honest creativity. Your not gonna find these guys bragging about things they don't own, or how many "hoes" they've bagged. Taking hip hop back to its origin of originality and fun flavor. Old school in value and new school in composition. Whatever field these "black sheeps" get their grass from..I NEED TO KNOW..." - Theodore K. Dorchester
