In Ancient Kemet, they believed the heart was the organ that controlled thought, logic, and knowledge.  The weighing of the heart, against a feather, was used to determine if people were righteous or wicked during their time on earth.  If their heart was heavier than the feather, the Heart was devoured.  With the world rapidly changing, and evolving beyond recognition, people are becoming even more desensitized to the conditions we exist in.  The most heinous acts are applauded as “interesting” and “entertaining” while genuine acts of love, and justice are shunned.  We can sensationalize but we are scared of true emotion, we have more information now than ever before but no one wants to read.  The truth is scary, it is easier to escape through our favorite vice, than to deal with the harsh reality of the present.

Our hearts are heavy, our hearts are dark, these are the Trials Of The Blackhearted…

“You jokers are just jesters. . . suited to entertain us / These are songs of retribution VS. / Hymns of enslavement” – Chace Infinite

Another song taken from the upcoming Self Scientific EP – Trials Of the Blackhearted. Verse Vs. Versus is a play on words that alternate between Verses, and Versus.  side note: might be the first time someone used antiquated in a rap. LOL.

“Language of the Gods, translated for the laymen / Modern interpretations of some lessons held sacred” – Chace Infinite (Self Scientific)

We aspire to represent a higher sense of self awareness, this message is filtered through reality’s harsh lens.  Achieving these aspirations confirms our belief in something greater.  Failing to reach these aspirations, causes people to question if something greater is against us. In between our aspirations, and reality, there is language.

God’s Language is another song from the forthcoming Self Scientific EP Trials Of The Blackhearted. Trials Of The Blackhearted is due be released for free on March 29th 2011.

Self Scientific – GOD’S LANGUAGE



This was going to be on Designer Music.  Inspired by my time living in Oakland, CA.  Recorded circa 2007 / 2008.  Featuring my brother Mitchy Slick.

Self Scientific – Car Culture feat. Mitchy Slick

This is an older song, from around 2007. The closest thing to a typically West Coast song we have probably ever made…let me know what y’all think. We rarely release material that we don’t plan on using but , fuck it.

SELF SCIENTIFIC – BUILD OR BANGERS

Extremely proud to announce this collaboration. . . Since February of 2010 I have been pushing the idea of making Africa a popular item in the subconcious mind of the current Hip-Hop generation.  I can say that this is the moment I am most proud of.  An opportunity to generate some awareness to a very worthy cause. I also did a joint over D’Angelo’s “AFRICA” that is available for download. Black History Month.

AFRICA
Akomplice x Chace Infinite x Good Wood NYC

Akomplice, Chace Infinite of Self-Scientific, and Good Wood NYC have come together to create a genuinely inspiring project. The project aims to promote change and education in the world’s global water and sanitation crisis. The unique collaborative pack will release at 7PM on February 11th, 2011.

Limited to 65 pieces total and only available on the Akomplice and Good Wood NYC websites. The collaboration package (retail $69.99) consists of an exclusive track from Chace Infinite which is a flip on D’Angelo’s song “Africa,” a handcrafted box set containing an intricately carved Africa necklace from Good Wood, and an original t-shirt from the fellas at Akomplice. 100% of the package’s profits will be donated to Pump Aid, an organization which has developed a cost-efficient water pump for sustainable water production in impoverished African communities.

Akomplice’s Africa t-shirt will also be offered alone later this month.  The T-shirt will be available in red, white, green and black.  The design features a text-formed image of Africa on its front, enumerating sociopolitical issues affecting the continent; its back is brandished by each collaborator and reads “Donate 2 Africa.” The shirt is more than a fashion statement – it represents courage, cohesion, and change. It is a tangible symbol of this project’s support for Africa.

Every year millions of people in developing countries die from a lack of clean water, and
hundreds of millions more are susceptible to parallel fates. Take a moment to look at the
hard facts. Unsafe water and poor sanitation create health, educational, environmental,
and social problems which could easily be prevented with the right tools.

In alignment with Black History Month it is not only appropriate but entirely essential to remember our historical roots in Africa and reflect on this month’s core celebrated values – struggle, strength, ability and action. This project honors those who
must endure a daily struggle for survival by taking action and giving them access to clean
drinking water, sanitary plumbing, and most importantly greater opportunities in life.

Chace Infinite – Africa

New Year, new music…expect a Self Scientific EP later this year, but for now, we hope that you enjoy this.

We feel as though the injustice that was displayed with the Oscar Grant trial, is another example of brutality, handed out by the so-called law in America.  Even in today’s seemingly relaxed social environment, where a Blackman is the literal face of the nation, we  are forced to deal with blatant abuse of power, by  local and federal “authorities”.  We have been desensitized, and have come to a point where we expect the injustice to continue, yet collectively, we do nothing.  We are ALL guilty. . .guilty of allowing our brothers and sisters to be continually treated like something less than human.  The current generation spends countless hours online, typing useless banter about people’s personal lives, and listening to music that barely addresses the issues that effect us.  If we ain’t gon tear this muthafucka up, we at least have to say something. . .”He Says Tazer , We Say Murder”. . . FUCK THE POLICE.

Self Scientific -PEACEFUL (Justice For Oscar) feat. Krondon & Freddie Gibbs

Coming Soon, I promise.

DJ Khalil in the Kush video

I can’t even explain to you how proud I am of this brother.  My best friend on earth, and partner in Self Scientific is reaching levels of success that we only dreamed of, and it is truly inspiring.  In case you didn’t know Khalil has been working with Dre on the much anticipated album Detox.  He also produced the lead single Kush, and he has never smoked, haha. 2011 is going to be great for him and his production team. This is surreal to me.  BARS!!!
