about
"Junkie for the Wisdom" marks the electrifying collaboration between Derry-born, Manchester-based Irish rap maestro Danny Diatribe and the ingenious producer DR FMW. This track stands out as their inaugural single together, a masterpiece that ingeniously blends their shared love for diverse music genres into a sound distinctly their own. Drawing heavily from the pulsating rhythms of UK Garage, and infusing subtle yet impactful elements of Jungle and Hip Hop, "Junkie for the Wisdom" emerges as a genre-defying anthem.
Danny Diatribe delivers razor-sharp lyrics with his characteristic fervor, exploring themes of knowledge addiction, personal growth, and the relentless pursuit of wisdom in a world awash with information. DR FMW's production prowess shines through, as he layers complex beats and innovative sounds to create a backdrop that's both compelling and refreshingly unpredictable.
The single is complemented by a visually stunning video available on the Danny Diatribe YouTube channel, showcasing the pair's creative vision beyond the music. Filmed across the vibrant cityscapes of Toronto, Canada, the serene beaches of Nerja, Spain, and the picturesque settings of Amacao de Pera, Portugal, the video is a global odyssey that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the track. Each location adds a unique layer to the song's narrative, further enriching the listener's experience.
"Junkie for the Wisdom" is an auditory journey that beckons listeners to delve into the depths of their consciousness. Danny Diatribe and DR FMW have crafted a soundtrack to the summer that resonates with anyone who yearns for a deeper understanding of the world around them. It's a bold statement of intent from two artists unafraid to blur the lines between genres, and a clear indicator of their potential to shape the future of music. Available now, this single is poised to become a staple for those who live at the intersection of introspection and innovation.
lyrics
I keep moving,
I, keep moving forward
La da da da, la da da da da da da
La da da da, la da da da da da x2
Ayyy
Strategise with my confidantes
Small circle not an entourage
Count the profit that's an arbitrage
You’ll never see us like we’re camouflaged.
Try to sabotage, thieves with the thickness
Act suspicious, all you'll get is distance.
Taking our positions,
Plotting out the missions,
Business over guinness.
Can I get a witness?
We really live this, songs for the ambitious,
Ready to go the distance,
Patience with the wish list
Know it's never instant,
Im cutting off, restricting,
A logician, recite the aphorism,
Starving my addictions,
Mind is like a prison,
Junkie for the wisdom
La da da da, la da da da da da da
La da da da, la da da da da da x2
Ayyy
Take the action if its opportune,
Rocks cast at any fear of doom,
Acting so I’m after loot,
Stacking so I don't consume,
Fast until the afternoon,
To the frequency I am attune
I leave and don't address the room
Im working with the sun and moon
Sipping guinesses in the chrysalis of my cocoon
Reflecting so I never lose
Making plays until i'm out of moves
I take it all the rough and smooth
Never take an L it's just a lesson and I can improve
Trying to catch a rhythm,
Hedonism, lyricism stoicism,
You can never die cos you were never born, existence
Non dualism
Junkie for the Wisdom
