It started in 2010 with the "Just This" parties. Hunter/Game's own party, held in secret locations round the city, Just This has made Milan a compulsory stop for the touring electronic artist - from early shows that focused on local acts like Mind Against and Tale Of Us, growing to far bigger events with names like Dixon, Seth Troxler, Koze, Tennis and other DJs in Hunter/Game's worldwide scene. And alongside the parties, the duo have released on Innervisions, Rumours, Last Night on Earth, My Favourite Robot, Hot Creations and Dynamic - with a Kompakt release in early 2015 - and each EP has earned more fans for their lush, deep-grooved analogue soundscapes.
In 2015, alongside a heavy Europe and North American touring schedule, Hunter/Game will open the doors of the new Just This vinyl label. Distributed by Kompakt, the label opens with the leftfield electronic dance stylings of Danish-Icelandic band Primal, a Hunter/Game release, and another to come within five months. With a stylistic approach that leans toward Hunter/Game's own, Just This releases are aimed at the discerning dancefloor, but are as influenced by the wild ambition of 80s electronic acts as by contemporary analogue production techniques.
An Angel
Hunter/Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I lay low, looking for the halo
Or more yayo, my little angel
Reminded me to stay playful
Faithful walks I take in the woods
Thinking what's good, things that I can change I should
Things I can't, need to be understood
Th-this is the bliss, I used to drift from the hood
Pipes that Indians used to light, we called it Chief, right?
Stepping on the leafs right, to reach heights
Th-th-th-that I never seen, it's so so evergreen
Some use it for medicine, or to write better things
I was in Amsterdam man, bike pedaling
To the nature spot to taste the flavors they got
My eyes drop, I like it a lot
Yeah, my angel
I wanna turn up the sound and spread
My wings because I'm riding with my (angel)
Going through the city of the Chi
Make me feel like I'm in the city of (angels)
Ooh, I wanna fly, fly away with my (angel)
She takes me high, she will always be my (angel)
Th-th-the way that I rhyme, blow nigga's mind
Like the first time you heard Mary J and you were standing in line
To purchase tickets to see her blow like Chicago wind
And I'm ridin' with Common looking for Chicago Zen
And like Chicago winds, I was once a Street Disciple
Rockin' every Jordan shoe, Nike put out by Michael
That made me feel like I could fly, sometimes I wanted to die
Prolly cause the angel dust was fuckin with my third eye
So I start hip-hop and I understand why Common used to love her
She got me open so I even had to fuck her
But I used the rubber, cause she was married to Rakim
So I bought me a gold chain, pretendin' that I was him
So I can get close to the girl I loved the most
But she left Cali and went on tour with Ne-Yo and Ghost
Big gave her one more chance, and she took Big down
I should've knew it, Shock G and Pac told me "She get around", an angel
I wanna turn up the sound and spread
My wings because I'm riding with my (angel)
Going through the city of the Chi
Make me feel like I'm in the city of (angels)
Ooh, I wanna fly, fly away with my (angel)
She takes me high, she will always be my (angel)
Fly away, fly away
My love for her is not about jewelry and cars
I love her cause she love me, just for who I are
Who I is, who I am, resembles the rims on the Lam'
I shine like Shyne when Barrington Levy was sayin, "Didilly whoa"
I got love for the streets, peace to New York and every hood in the East
Before I was duckin' cops, gunshots
I used to be an L.A. Dodger, now I'm a (Angel)
From the city of lost souls, Impalas and polished gold
Between the car, and the rims, we got a lot of chrome
Your hood not alone, they knockin', we not at home
And when they bust in, we not Caesar, but gotta roam
'Cause they try to wire phones, I'm talking Verizon phones
The ones they put wires on, they got us on tap
But I put wires on, my Bentley in fact
I spit it through the wires on a Kanye track
I wanna turn up the sound and spread
My wings because I'm riding with my (angel)
Going through the city of the Chi
Make me feel like I'm in the city of (angels)
Ooh, I wanna fly, fly away with my (angel)
She takes me high, she will always be my (angel)
Yeah, it's The Game and Common
Spread your wings, follow your dreams
Things will be so serene, L.A. And the Chi is a team
Yeah, angel supreme
Yeah, keep on
Yeah, it's for the world boy, we do it forever, yeah

I spent my day so, first I pray yo
I start my day with prayer
Then I lay low, looking for the halo
I take it easy, searching for inner peace
Or more yayo, my little angel
I'm looking for a natural high, with help from my guardian angel
Reminded me to stay playful
My angel keeps me grounded but also reminds me to keep a light-hearted approach to life
Faithful walks I take in the woods
I take walks in nature, trying to reconnect with my faith
Thinking what's good, things that I can change I should
I reflect on my life and try to improve myself each day
Things I can't, need to be understood
I also come to terms with things beyond my control
Th-this is the bliss, I used to drift from the hood
By finding inner peace, I no longer feel the need to escape my hometown
For a second at least, I'm resurrecting the peace
Even if it's just a brief moment, I feel a sense of tranquility
Pipes that Indians used to light, we called it Chief, right?
I reminisce about the past, thinking of traditional Native American smoking rituals
Stepping on the leafs right, to reach heights
I step on fallen leaves, imagining that each step is a step towards personal growth
Th-th-th-that I never seen, it's so so evergreen
As I experience new things, I appreciate their timeless beauty
Some use it for medicine, or to write better things
I think of the various uses for natural herbs and how they can be used to enhance creativity
I was in Amsterdam man, bike pedaling
I recall a time when I was in Amsterdam, cycling around the city
To the nature spot to taste the flavors they got
I went to a natural spot in Amsterdam and tasted its unique flavors
My eyes drop, I like it a lot
I remember feeling happy and content during that experience
Yeah, my angel
Throughout my journey, my guardian angel has been watching over me
I wanna turn up the sound and spread
I want to fully embrace the moment and let loose
My wings because I'm riding with my (angel)
With my angel by my side, I feel free
Going through the city of the Chi
As I travel through Chicago, I feel connected to my roots
Make me feel like I'm in the city of (angels)
I feel like I'm in a place where anything is possible
Ooh, I wanna fly, fly away with my (angel)
I want to escape from reality with my angel
She takes me high, she will always be my (angel)
My angel lifts me up and I know she'll always be there for me
Th-th-the way that I rhyme, blow nigga's mind
I'm proud of my unique style of rapping
Like the first time you heard Mary J and you were standing in line
My flow is comparable to the first time someone hears Mary J Blige's music
To purchase tickets to see her blow like Chicago wind
People flock to see Mary J Blige perform because of her powerful voice
And I'm ridin' with Common looking for Chicago Zen
I'm with Common, searching for peace in the city of Chicago
And like Chicago winds, I was once a Street Disciple
Similar to the fierce winds of Chicago, I was once caught up in the rough streets
Rockin' every Jordan shoe, Nike put out by Michael
I had an obsession with Jordans shoes, which were released by Michael Jordan's brand, Nike
That made me feel like I could fly, sometimes I wanted to die
The shoes made me feel invincible, but when I wasn't wearing them, I felt lost
Prolly cause the angel dust was fuckin with my third eye
I think my drug use interfered with my perception of reality
So I start hip-hop and I understand why Common used to love her
I turned to hip-hop music for solace, just as Common did
She got me open so I even had to fuck her
I became obsessed with rap music
But I used the rubber, cause she was married to Rakim
Even though I loved hip-hop, I knew it was important to protect myself and not get too caught up in it
So I bought me a gold chain, pretendin' that I was him
I got caught up in purchasing material items to feel closer to my hip-hop idols
So I can get close to the girl I loved the most
I wanted to feel connected to the music that meant so much to me
But she left Cali and went on tour with Ne-Yo and Ghost
The music industry is fickle and my favorite artists are often on tour, making it hard for me to feel connected to them
Big gave her one more chance, and she took Big down
Even though my favorite artists have their own struggles, I still admire them
I should've knew it, Shock G and Pac told me "She get around", an angel
Despite the flaws in the music industry and in my own life, my love for hip-hop music persists
My love for her is not about jewelry and cars
My love for hip-hop music is not based on the superficial aspects that often come with fame
I love her cause she love me, just for who I are
I appreciate hip-hop music for the way it speaks to me on a personal level
Who I is, who I am, resembles the rims on the Lam'
Just as my identity is unique and personal, so is my taste in cars and other possessions
I shine like Shyne when Barrington Levy was sayin, "Didilly whoa"
I feel like I stand out, like how Shyne stood out in the hip-hop scene, and referenced by a Barrington Levy song
I got love for the streets, peace to New York and every hood in the East
Despite my love for hip-hop, I still have respect for the streets and all the communities associated with it
Before I was duckin' cops, gunshots
I've faced my own struggles with violence and law enforcement, which only strengthened my love for hip-hop music
I used to be an L.A. Dodger, now I'm a (Angel)
I've gone through different phases of life, and now consider myself an angel of sorts, watching over my own life and continuing to love and appreciate hip-hop music
From the city of lost souls, Impalas and polished gold
I come from a place with its own unique sense of identity, and I take pride in that
Between the car, and the rims, we got a lot of chrome
I appreciate the flashy aesthetics of the hip-hop scene
Your hood not alone, they knockin', we not at home
The hard realities of urban life have affected me, and I sympathize with others who face the same struggles
And when they bust in, we not Caesar, but gotta roam
I've had my own close calls and I know that life can be unpredictable
'Cause they try to wire phones, I'm talking Verizon phones
I acknowledge the extent of government surveillance, and how it can affect our rights to privacy
The ones they put wires on, they got us on tap
I'm aware of how people can be targeted and monitored by law enforcement
But I put wires on, my Bentley in fact
Despite these challenges, I still take pride in my life and possessions
I spit it through the wires on a Kanye track
I continue to find creative outlets, such as featuring on a Kanye West song
Yeah, it's The Game and Common
I've found common ground and friendship with other hip-hop artists
Spread your wings, follow your dreams
I encourage others to find their own passions and pursue them to the fullest
Things will be so serene, L.A. And the Chi is a team
I envision a future where differences are put aside and communities work together for a better tomorrow
Yeah, angel supreme
Despite the challenges of urban life, hip-hop culture will always be a significant and constant part of my life
Yeah, keep on
I will always continue to appreciate and create hip-hop music
Yeah, it's for the world boy, we do it forever, yeah
Hip-hop music is more than just a genre, it's a lifestyle and a movement that will endure beyond our lifetime
