In 2011 Mr.Woodnote & Lil Rhys created ‘Modus Operandi’, their first album as a duo. Mr.Woodnote’s beats, horns and compositions never fail to satisfy and the genre smashing rhythms are complimented by Lil Rhys’ tight lyrical flow and imaginative content. The album also features Eva Lazarus on tracks such as ‘Diamonds in the Dirt’ and ‘Spacedust’; her serene and striking vocals have elevated the sound to the a whole new level.

lyrics
Can you feel it?
It's like an intravenous link between us,
It feeds us, it's the juice that operates the speakers,
Such a small space stretching to the furthest reaches,
Like the big picture shatters in a million pieces,
Everything's in tatters, that's when nothing matters,
Without a crowd, what's the fucking point in being rappers,
No one to be your backers, no one to read your chapters,
No one to say they felt your lyrics when they see you after,
They wanna turn us down, they wanna throw us out,
They wanna ask us why, all we do is show 'em how,
Going south, all these bodies glisten like they're soaking brows,
We occupy this space, all the time we know is now,
So in these shady forums we try and break the boredom,
Some aint too good with words and feel the music says it for 'em,
Like a willing donor ready to donate an organ,
We give our hearts in every second of this great decorum.
(Hook x2)
When I hear your voice,
It makes me feel louder,
Looking in your eyes,
It makes me feel proud of,
Our Connection,
This aint a lesson in life,
But the energy keeps telling me it's real power.
There's a zone,
Stay at home and you'll never find it,
Like a stylus in the groove of the open minded,
Timeless but we always give ourselves reminders,
Eyes closed, blinded, feel each other like we're psychic,
Life's our preparation, we keep our reservations,
We need no explanation still there's deep investigation,
Questions test our patience, answers kept us waiting,
So we follow breadcrumbs to these destinations,
Feel the air move, I feel the heat flowing,
I see a glowing coming from us and it keeps growing,
Knowing no one, letting go of all the loads you're towing,
Slowing moments, stretching space, I can see it bowing,
Time to count your losses, come from out the office,
You don't have to worry 'bout it we can bounce your bosses,
We'll never let 'em stop us, we'll always share our prophets,
So much promise in this real power coming from us.
(Hook x2)
When I hear your voice,
It makes me feel louder,
Looking in your eyes,
It makes me feel proud of,
Our Connection,
This aint a lesson in life,
But the energy keeps telling me it's real power.
