Including lyrics because this song is brilliant, one of my faves of all time.

Atmosphere - Trying to Find a Balance

(Intro)
They love the taste of blood
Now I don't know what that means, but I know that I mean it
Maybe they're as evil as they seem
Or maybe I only look out the window when it's scenic
Atmosphere finally made a good record
Yeah right, that shit almost sounds convincing
The last time I felt as sick and contradictive as this
Was the last time we played a show in Cincy
"Get real", they tell me
If only they knew how real this life really gets
They would stop acting like a silly bitch
They would respect the cock whether or not they believed in it

[Verse 1: Slug]
Doesn't take much and that's messed up
Because these people do a lot of simple shit to impress us
While everyone was trying to out-do the last man
I was just a ghost trying to catch some Ms. Pac-man
Hello ma'am, would you be interested
In some sexual positions and emotional investments
See, I'm not insane, in fact I'm kind of rational
When I be asking, "Yo where did all the passion go?"
East coast, West coast, down South, Midwest
Nowadays everybody knows how to get fresh
Somebody give me a big yes
God bless America, but she stole the B from Bless (and kept it)
Now I'm too fucked up to dance
So I'mma sit with my hand down the front of my pants
You can't achieve your goals if you don't take that chance
So go pry open that trunk and get those amps

[Chorus]
In the days of Kings and Queens I was a jester
Treat me like a God or they treat me like a leper
You see me move back and forth between both
I'm trying to find a balance
I'm trying to build a balance

[Verse 2: Slug]
So now I keep a close eye on my pets
Because they make most of they moves off of instinct and scents
It's eat, sleep, fuck, and self-defense
So straight you can set your clocks and place bets
Wait, let's prey on the blind, deaf, dumb, dead
Hustle, maybe a couple will love what you said
Emcees drag their feet across a big naked land
With an empty bag of seed and a fake shake of hand
Yeah, I got some last words, fuck all of ya'll
Stop writing raps and go play volleyball
Gotta journey the world in a hurry
Cause my attorney didn't put enough girls on the jury
Guilty of dropping these bombs in the city
But I'm innocent, love is the motive, that's why I'm killing 'em
Guilty of setting my fire in all fifty
But I'm innocent, blame it on my equilibrium

[Chorus]
In the days of Kings and Queens I was a jester
Treat me like a God or they treat me like a leper
You see me move back and forth between both
I'm trying to find a balance
I'm trying to build a balance

[Outro]
Now all my friends are famous
It's either one thing or another
They all don't know what my name is
Probably know both of my brothers
The one is a hard workin' savior
The other's a hard workin' soldier
I'm just your next-door neighbor
Working hard at tryin' to stay sober
You wait for the car at the corner
Pretend like you know what the plot is
Won't quit till I hit California
And make you my Golden State goddess

Holy shit mate, I have no idea what his saying BUT I find music has a universal language in you don't have to understand the words if you get that "feeling" from the beats if you understand what I mean.

I'm feeling this deeply, what is it about?
Can you link me more stuff by this guy / group please?

This is amazing, his flow is great & the beat is amazing, this is one of the best finds I've come across in a few days.
I assume it is Finnish? I'm used to hearing Finnish more in a growl / scream such as Goatmoon & Satanic Warmaster tbh.

EDIT

fuck me, this really bangs

I can relate to that very well, my head is banging to this stuff & that KLVNI is amazing.
I have no idea what his on about but the beats are cold as a Finnish winter & hit just as hard & brutal as a shot to the head from Simo "Simuna" Häyhä.

Like I said some music I DON'T need to understand the words I can "feel" what they are on about if you know what I mean?
That KLVNI guy is on fire I swear to God, that is my best music find of the week & possibly the month. I owe you one for posting that stuff up mate.

Welcome to England mate.
This track I've played several thousand times, you know English well & will know what his saying. This is the UK I know & the video looks 100% like the place I live now & have lived before. My ex was shocked when I showed her the other side of the UK, she used to think it was all "Harry Potter" shit & I took her to several of the council estates I've lived on & she learned what a 2ml needle is too (she looked shocked at the size & I just laughed)
