The REAL Mystery School
In the world of hip hop music, there are three schools of thought...
Old School, New School, and TRUE SCHOOL.
Mystery School. The duo of artists that holds this title is only a representation of the greater movement...
The culmination of these two individuals' musical ability and philosophical depth are manifested via their moving scores and compositions. Merc Versus and Relik are without a doubt two of the most unique members of the hip-hop nation based in the state of Indiana. Being that they are siblings, the natural chemistry between brothers factors a great deal into the creative process of this act. Selections such as "Grasshopper" and "Raindance" attest to this fact.
As the result of years of training in the field of mastering hip-hop ceremonies, Mystery School founder Merc Versus found it in himself to take the initiative and begin the process of guiding his younger brother along the path to honing his eMCee abilities to a level of prestige. Not unlike any other conscious act of their caliber, Mystery School's message plays an integral part in their artistic modus operandi. And this message is simply "MASTER YOUR SELF TRUTH". As Merc explains: "The phrase 'Master your self truth' is a statement that holds great power. The TRUTH of the SELF is the force that makes us living beings. Whether or not we as individuals MASTER that force is what determines our differing levels of wisdom..."
Mystery School is currently poised to release "Grasshopper", their 7-track debut EP.
Enter the House of Mysteries. Discover what inner truths lie within the darkness of your own mind. And MASTER YOUR SELF TRUTH...
