Binary Star is back to change the game once again.
The duo of emcees One Be Lo and Senim Silla possess a lethal chemistry greater than the sum of its parts. Trading verses effortlessly, the two can create magic on the mic ranging from intricate storytelling to battle raps.
Hailing from Pontiac, Michigan – Lo and Senim originally met in high school and instantly developed a close friendship. However one poor decision that could have easily derailed their career, made the bond between them stronger and more focused. An armed robbery conviction landed them both in prison for a three-year sentence and during this time Binary Star officially came into existence in 1998.
Upon their release, Lo and Senim had grown more mature, focused, and immediately began recording what would evolve into Masters of the Universe and the classic song "Reality Check". Binary also had plenty of beats waiting from longtime friend Decompoze , who would co-produce a majority of the album.
After initially pressing up CD, vinyl, and tape copies – the Binary Star buzz earned the group a distribution deal that would convert music listeners into loyal fans with the release of M.O.T.U. in 2000. It went on to sell over 25,000 units and showed the viability of independent hip-hop during a time when major labels had begun the commercialization of rap music.
Shortly after recording the M.O.T.U. album, the two parted ways claiming creative differences. One Be Lo developed his own solo career by rocking shows across the country. In 2005 his solo debut S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. moved over 22,000 units on Fat Beats Records. Lo also kept fans happy with several releases on his own Subterraneous Records: Project: F.E.T.U.S., S.T.I.L.L.B.O.R.N., and The R.E.B.I.R.T.H.. This has set the foundation nicely for the highly anticipated B.A.B.Y.
They reunited briefly in 2002, doing a concert together at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont, but they did not record any new material. Although there has inevitably been speculation about a reformation of Binary Star, One Be Lo has stated that this is unlikely. "I seriously doubt it", he said, proceeding to claim, "Artists are real, real picky and real, real closed minded. They can be real, real strongly opinionated. If there ain’t no real chemistry, it ain’t going to work."
In 2009, recently reuniting after a 10-year hiatus, Binary Star is back in the studio working on its long awaited follow-up to the classic debut album Masters Of The Universe (M.O.T.U.). Tentatively titled "Light Years Apart," the duo's EP serves as a mere prequel to a full-length LP.
On March 29, 2013, Binary Star released their first album in thirteen years, a self-titled EP, as a celebration of their 15th anniversary as a duo.

Binary Star Lyrics

(Intro:)
In the beginning man was created. Image perfection.
And although he was perfect, still something was missing.
He was incomplete, unwhole. Then woman was born.
Together the creation of these two souls inertwined,
and naturally, the two became one. Completion.
hold on for dear life no matter the obstacles in your path
destiny is not temporary and true love will always last.
Just as first man evolved, and together you two
shall fufill destinies plan and together become one.
Completion. The evolution of man.

It's like, beyond physical attraction
your explosive personality blows my mentality
Actually my emotions on a rampage
we ain't the same age but we in the same book, on the same page
The conversation calls for meditation,
never amateur check the calender let's make a reservation
Communication is the bridge at times
I wonder what your thinking,
The truth will set you free like Abe Lincoln
(Brenda J:)
Free I'm totally +emancipated proclaiming+
is due to the love together we've created
Our thoughts no longer seperated
past barriers past road blocks you've opened
my heart no need to pick the lock
(The Anonymous:)
The key to my heart should be the sole controller
Life is full of ups and downs like a roller coaster
Im hip to your vibe like motorola
As long as your a soldier im hanging in your world like a poster
Supernova baby you shine extraterrestrial
Sometimes you throw me off like Jonah on a water vessel
But what we got is crazy real
deep like a Navy Seal
plus I like the way you make me feel baby chill
You know the deal you playing with a full deck
trump tight no jokes ace's high in full affect

Your affecting me and it's crazy cause love is a gamble
Always had an ace up my sleeve incase my maid wanted to leave
But now I ease dizzy from to much exhaling

The breath of life, what is a man without a wife?
That's absurd like a butcher without a knife
I slice through your thoughts with words that cut you short
Your torch keep me burning my world no longer dark
I spark with the best but you no contest
Conquest on your love my mission accomplished
I feed you the knowledge your system digests
You feed me the knowledge my system digests
We make love in excess
We progress through thick and thin X-ray vision like superman
I see through the bullshit
that's why i like your style
able to leap tall buildings in a single bound

Physically and mentally we related
now I'm elated what was once meant to be is our reality
And I'm loving every moment of our ecstasy
not too many people get a chance to see
A connection between two people based not on sexuality
but something real
That's how you make me feel
we formed a bond and I could go on forever
telling the world how together we're two of a kind
body soul and mind
(The Anonymous:)
What's mine is yours what's your is mine
throughout the course of time
we stay on point like a porcupine
Anytime everything move faster
every king need a queen so you could be my Cleopatra
And i could be your Shaka Zulu
I sock it to you I know you got the point
baby doll I got the voodoo
I want you for the rest of my life
and time is starting your love makes me
weak in the knees like Tonya Harding
You stole my heart and that's a felony
prison is the penalty confined in my mind in brain cell block 3
I locked you in my heart and threw away the key
there's no escape I guard it like a maximum security
(Brenda J:)
Secure is how I feel
knowing that your soul not just your physical is here with me
And i thank the all mighty for the day that you invited me
to share your life
and book me I stole your heart yes I'm guilty so punish me
Because your maximum security reassures me
you'll never leave my side your spirtitual vibe
(The Anonymous:)
No doubt
I be there like the Jackson 5 satisfaction's
why I step to you with my plan like a mastermind
We pass the time as we dine you sip a glass of wine
I looked you in your eyes
and cast a line out of that's just mine
You was amazed by the way that I attacked
Now your white flag is raised high blowing in the gray sky
Surrender your goods completely understood
unlike them other chicks wishing they shoulda coulda would
I told you once before baby I hit you
with these them other cats don't stand
a chance like Christopher Reeves
That's how it goes
You're not the type to wear provacative clothes
Beautiful from your head to your popsicle toes
Good looking what you got cooking
17 ways word to Michael Franks
give it to me raw with the mallionaise
I take it downtown baby calm down making all the sounds
like a figure 8 it's perfect all around
(Common:)
Eventually if it was meant to be
then it would be cause we related physically and mentally

Eventually if it was meant to be

The song "Evolution of Man" by Binary Star features Brenda J and explores the idea of two individuals coming together to form a complete and perfect union. The lyrics suggest that although man was created in image perfection and was perfect, something was missing, and that missing piece was a woman. When the two come together to form a relationship, they become one, and destiny holds for those who stay committed to each other despite the obstacles in their path. The lyricist suggests that just like the first man evolved, completing one's self would be the evolution that every man should seek.
As the song progresses, the lyricists delves deeper into the dynamics of a relationship, stating that being attracted to someone means more than just the physical appearance, but the explosive personality and mentality that draws one person to the other. Communication plays a significant role in the successful evolution of a relationship, and the lyricists suggest that honesty is paramount as the truth will always set one free. They suggest that a relationship formed around true love and deep intellectual and emotional connections is far more profound than one based purely on sexual attraction.
The song highlights that when two people related physically and emotionally mesh, life becomes more profound, with each partner being stronger together than when apart. The chorus emphasizes that if a relationship is meant to be, it will be, as long as the two people involved have a deep connection and are willing to make it work. Evolving and growing together makes the evolution of man complete.

I always felt I would do the same but these girls are so rare. I go to hip hop shows and see a few but most are taken. Props if you find one. This girl right above my comment might be one of those rare gems.
