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
I heard about this bloke but I don't remember his name,
He was all for loving he saw a mugging and thought he'd step in the way,
And I bet, when he left, he never expected that that was the end of his days,
And I bet there's regret to lengths in a head on a stretch in the depths of a cage,
So laugh with me! 'Cause it's all just a joke, man it has to be,
A family grieves at a value price and a standard slice of insanity,
Two bad boys had grab a feast, no cash so it had to be fast and free,
A man got served up, world is a circus, murdered for burgers at Maccy Ds,
Life's unfortunate but a hell of a gas when you're caught in it,
With it's highs & lows, and it's ebbs & flows, and it's sweet little angels and naughty kids,
Thieves broke an old man's door with kicks, he hobbled downstairs then he caught 'em quick,
Then he turned around and started talking shit, so they beat him to death with his walking stick.
Serious? I'll give you serious,
AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Aint it funny?
'Cause if you don't laugh then you cry,
But still it all passes you by.
You want serious? I'll give you serious,
AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Aint it funny?
'Cause if you don't laugh then you cry,
But still it all passes you by.
I heard about this mum, now I'm just trying to think where from?
Yeah I remember, I think the presenter said somewhere in West London,
She's just finished slaving, a real long day, on the way to get her sons,
Then her hand gets chopped off, bang to the head, now she's dead by her ex-husband,
And how we laughed as we skipped through the words of the paragraph,
And events unfold on the 7 year old who got starved in her very own habitat,
In the cabbage patch, such a savage act, get this - if you really thought that was bad?
They got manslaughter in court 'cause, of course, the cause was the mum and stepdad were mad,
I caught my breath and I saw the reporter give tales of a torture - a torso in water,
Hideous, pretty much drawn up and quarter, a slaughter, disorder.
Oh what a corker! I chortled so much that I brought up my Korma,
Applause for the victim an awesome performer. They sent the award for his corpse to his daughter.
Serious? I'll give you serious,
AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Aint it funny?
'Cause if you don't laugh then you cry,
But still it all passes you by.
You want serious? I'll give you serious,
AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Aint it funny?
'Cause if you don't laugh then you cry,
But still it all passes you by.
