On The Rise (2017) is Relik & Antidote's debut album. It was written, composed, and recorded in state prison in its entirety. The title of the album reflects the overall theme - that Relik & Antidote are only just beginning to scratch the surface and have big plans for their future. The Portland, Oregon duo goes against the grain of watered down rap with their clever wordplay, thought-invoking lyrics, and original music (made sample-free and without a computer). With tracks speaking on the beauty in adversity, resilience, friendship troubles, and their love of the artform, Relik & Antidote definitely bring substance to the hip-hop genre. Simply put, this album is a breath of fresh air in a stale environment. *Album Artists: Relik (Formerly Stein MC of One Movement) -Antidote - Anthony Paul Harrington *Featured Artists: Saint Mikey - Michael David Hessemer -Skinny Goon - James Spencer Hill *Track Credits: "Paradigm Shift" instrumental composed by Antidote -All other instrumentals composed by Relik *Album Credits: Produced by Relik -Engineered by Relik & Antidote -Mixed and mastered by Andrew Harris *Logo/Cover Art: Original Relik & Antidote "tag" logo created by Francisco Ochoa -Digital rendering of logo and cover artwork by Rand's Art Design 2017 Subterranean Entertainment LLC *For more information visit the label website www.subterranean-ent.com Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/subtent Follow us/subscribe on youtube @ SubterraneanEnt Artist Bio : Relik & Antidote, the rap duo formed in 2014, are among Portland, Oregon's finest emcees.
