Newcastle brothers Kid Lyrical and Wizardry met Likewyze onstage, when the duo began rhyming over a performance of a funk band Likewyze was playing guitar in. At the time Likewyze was studying audio at music school and offered to record the duo, along with Dj Skoob, the three time NSW DMC champion. This resulted in their debut album, the self titled, independently released Blades Of Hades. Other contributing musicians were the female Mc Dust and singer Jane Tyrrell under the name U-Jive. During the early years of Blades Of Hades, actress and musician Abbie Cornish was dating Kid Lyrical, and subsequently performed with the group on occasion.
By 2005, Jane Tyrrell had joined the Sydney hip hop group The Herd full time. The group counter-acted the line-up change and shortened their name to just 'Blades' in 2006. The same year, they released their second album This Installment, which was distributed by Obese Records. The album featured Newcastle DJ Mark N on cuts and production for the track 'Blast Opposition', which they also released a video clip for. Blades appeared on Oriel Guthre's documentary Skip Hop: Volume One in 2006. They were interviewed and also contributed to the project's soundtrack.
Shadow Art was released in 2008, followed by their free to download mix tape Two Thousand And Nine the following year.

Pride
Blades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But something prevents me
That something can only be
When you know you're giving way
Hopeless!
And you want somewhere to run
Need somewhere to hide
If you never cried
Whisper!
I'd like to break down and say that I'm lonely
But something prevents me
That something can only be
So when bitterness comes 'round
No one is exempt
Try and look your best
A vain attempt!
After all is said and done
Someone else's name
Coming from her lips
Screaming!
In "Pride," Blade expresses a desire to break down and confess that he is lonely, but something is stopping him from doing so. This "something" could be pride, fear of rejection or vulnerability, or a combination of both. The weight of his emotions is heavy, and the wait for relief feels endless, leaving him hopeless. Blade longs for a place to run and hide, a safe haven from his pain. However, he acknowledges the importance of shedding tears and releasing his emotions, even if it feels like a whisper.
Blade suggests that bitterness is a universal experience that affects everyone, regardless of their status or circumstances. Despite this reality, Blade urges us to try and look our best even in our darkest moments, even if it feels like a vain attempt. The song ends with Blade hearing someone else's name coming from the lips of his lover, causing him to scream in agony. This final image captures the anguish and heartbreak of unrequited love.
Overall, Pride is a poignant and relatable portrayal of the pain and struggle that many people face when dealing with loneliness and heartache.
Line by Line Meaning
I'd like to break down and say that I'm lonely
I have a desire to open up and express my feelings of loneliness
But something prevents me
However, there is a barrier preventing me from doing so
That something can only be
That barrier is due to
When you know you're giving way
Feeling vulnerable and losing control
Heavy is the weight, endless is the wait
The burden of being alone is overwhelming and the wait for companionship is unbearable
Hopeless!
Feeling a deep sense of despair and pessimism
And you want somewhere to run
Desiring an escape from the pain of loneliness
Need somewhere to hide
Craving a safe place to shield from the emotional distress
If you never cried
Even if you try to keep it together and never shed a tear
Whisper!
You still have a soft voice longing for someone to hear it
So when bitterness comes 'round
When negative feelings arise
No one is exempt
Everyone is susceptible to feeling alone and bitter
Try and look your best
It's important to maintain composure and appearance despite inner turmoil
A vain attempt!
However, the effort feels futile and unsuccessful
After all is said and done
Eventually, when everything is over and done with
Someone else's name
The person you longed for found someone else
Coming from her lips
Hearing it straight from the person's mouth
Screaming!
The pain is so intense that you want to scream
