Though firmly entrenched in the Atlanta hip-hop underground it would seem emcee Mr. SOS & producer / live musician Mr. Enok collaborative tracks are based somewhere throughout the cosmos. The sum of this work peppers references to interstellar travels and parallel universes while still grounded in lyrical witticisms and bottom-heavy beats. SOS won a place in many true-school heads as a former member of the CunninLynguists as well as a generous helping of solo releases and his current group, Mighty High Coup. Mr. Enok has some impressive credits to his resume as well including his highly regarded project with emcee Rozewood known as Ante Meridian. “Creatively, it’s very different than anything I’ve done before. Not too long ago I started reading articles about scientists working on particle accelerators. The thought behind it is to create actual wormholes to see into parallel realities. I began to be inspired by the idea that we simultaneously exist in other times and places and can connect / tap into that.” A concept album loosely that references our struggles across worlds, the soundscapes are fleshed out with acoustic, electronic and ambient tones by Enok’s use of rare samples as well as utilizing live guitar, keyboards and percussion throughout. Speaking on the storyline for the project, SOS revealed that he is considering the album to be the soundtrack and that he is interested in expanding the concept into a multi-media or novelization if the fans are interested.
