Source: hiphopfightsbackCage - I Never Knew You
Cage doesn’t have too many tracks that I would consider ridiculously amazing, but this is one of them. When I first discovered this song all I could do was play it in my dorm with the volume cranked way up and the bass set to max. You definitely need to be in the right type mood to fully enjoy this song. It’s that special kind of music that can envelop you within its essence, and you forget what you’re doing as your brain is drowned in sadistic lyrics and grungy guitar. Nothing really like it. Obviously not everyone enjoys Cage’s darker music, but if you do, you definitely have an appreciation for this song and what it artistically accomplishes within the underground realm of dark grungy hip-hop.
“You’re always dying inside that much closer to home. On a crowded street corner surrounded by people all alone.”

Sadly, even though he’s been active in hip-hop for over 15 years and has worked with a plethora of artists and labels, most of you probably never heard of C-Rayz Walz before. He doesn’t even have a youtube video over 75,000 plays. If you watch the mini Def Jux documentary I posted awhile ago, you’ll see in the first video C-Rayz Walz spitting freestyles with Aesop Rock and Vast Aire. If you haven’t watched it yet I highly recommend you do. In my opinion, this short yet exceedingly profound documentary manages to define the true essence of underground hip-hop better than anything I’ve ever seen. In Your Soul embodies this pure essence in multiple ways. It’s my favorite song by C-Rayz Walz, and is off of his 2009 album Who The Fuck Are You?.
