about

Hip-Hop Artist and Graphic Novelist P.SO the Earth Tone King brings his debut album The Gateway to Greatness. Nearly two years in the making, The Gateway to Greatness is P.SO’s otherworldly album & graphic novel combo designed to give fans a completely original experience. Aiming to deliver a substantial contribution to the culture, The Gateway to Greatness includes such standout tracks as the popular “Find Out”, the self-produced, hard-hitting “ Black Holes”, the airy, ethereal “Floating” featuring Denitia Odigie and the instant classic "Back Again" featuring Outasight. That graphic novel P.SO speaks of is the 45-page collaboration with talented illustrator Anwar Morse that coincides with the tracks on the album. The first chapter will be available in the digital booklet of The Gateway to Greatness.

"Overall, "The Gateway to Greatness" is a polished body of work from start to finish. By putting together diverse ideas and concepts into one cohesive album, P.So the Earth Tone King manages to offer his whole identity without compromising it or turning to cliches. If there was ever an album to serve as an example for the benefits of taking time to craft music that will stand the test of time, this is it."- RefinedHype(dot)com

"P.SO the Earth Tone King is an artist who has his stuff together. From the moment I pressed play on his album, Gateway To Greatness, I knew I was listening to an emcee who has the total package. P.SO has a fresh sound merging organic live instrumentation and electronic music, and a unique futuristic style gleaning from his skills as a graphic novelist. It’s rare to have an artist so grounded in abstract cool and everyday man charm, but P.SO pulls it off."-Imadeintruth(dot)com

lyrics

Nice with the rhymes though I haven't hit my prime yo
grind slow
before the fat lady hit the high note
I'm dope
Opium, heroin POPPYSEED
You don't need the latest drugs,
you can just copy P. SO
you can just copy P. SO
you can just copy P. SO

We bleed all the same
I never be shook a you
Nocturnal Animal
caged in a Brooklyn zoo
City cesspool, Darkness kiddie screams
fun house mirror shit,
nothing what it really seems
dazed how the moonlights
shine off of shorty eyes
even more dazed when she pull the chrome .45
damn-
even skirts sticking ni**** now
staring at her high heels
then he heard the trigger ((blow)) x 2

Welcome to the Gentrified Enterprise
re-fried East side America
home of where the Beast Hides
we work like bees in a beehive
they try to hold us down in this town but we rise
Organized crime
Genovese
demons are the enemies
crawling like they centipedes
Don't matter if you baggy or skinny jean
feet on the bright path MJ Billie Jean

keep yo feet on the bright path, MJ Billie Jean

Nice with the rhymes though I haven't hit my prime yo
grind slow
before the fat lady hit the high note
I'm dope
Opium, heroin POPPYSEED
You don't need the latest drugs,
you can just copy P. SO
you can just copy P. SO
you can just copy P. SO

unh..
Blo City to Jamaica Queens
girlies strut and shake they thing
anything to make a scene
and shorties look amazing in latest Jeans
maybe she was born with it or maybe its the Maybeline
the cops seem deranged when they raid the scene
breakup dreams cut off any way for you to make some cream
Police futuristic, make em mean
they dont even taze you, the blaze you with lazer beams
(break)

The Dark and the Light, God this is life and my breaks don't work
how can i stop at this light?
fog blocking my sight
I am so focused like a fiend bout to smoke the last rock in his pipe
G'night....
go to sleep, Nyquil
your world goes dark like you didn't pay your light bill I feel
I can tap dance through a mine field
If you live a false life chance are you die real

Nice with the rhymes though I haven't hit my prime yo
grind slow
before the fat lady hit the high note
I'm dope
Opium, heroin POPPYSEED
You don't need the latest drugs,
you can just copy P. SO
you can just copy P. SO
you can just copy P. SO
