Included in this package you´ll find the debut album of two german HipHop producers, who go by the names of JR&PH7, entitled „The Standard".
If you remember the first Groove Attack compilation „Superrappin" you´ll catch pretty exactly, what this joint is all about. The warm sound of the album is deeply rooted in 70s funk & soul music and influenced by the golden age of Hip Hop. True to the heart HipHop tunes, that work well either in hiphop clubs or at home, as of course in your portable music device or in your car.
The featurette on „The Standard" is huge, with numerous well known U.S. underground HipHop artists and guest vocalists such as Rakaa (Dilated Peoples), Planet Asia, Edo G., Guilty Simpson, Skyzoo, Black Milk, Edgar Allen Floe, Oddisee and many more, just to name a few.
This is not about bling, fancy ringtones and all that, it´s about rappers, who got something to say. Groovy beats and soulful sampling combined with heavy drumming make this album a listening pleasure for the audience and JR&PH7´s mission pretty simple: It´s about where you´re at, not where you´re from.
Real music for real people.

JR & PH7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I sound dramatic I can stop if you say so
Your so fake, you be making your own labels
But I'm so attached to you and I know I need to let go
Girl I, when I see you everyday, I swear your face has me feel some type of way
I wish you'd stop and see if I'm ok
But you keep on looking and you're never looking my way
When I said I loved you girl I was for real I meant it
You said you would text me but, you didn't
When my friends told me about you I was stupid I still went in, I'm forgiving
I can't get you out my mind, was I crazy when I thought that I could make you mine
And when I think of you from time to time, you keep crossing through my mind
I keep realizing you were just a waste of my time
Girl I, can feel you through your echoes
I know I sound dramatic I can stop if you say so
Your so fake, you be making your own labels
But I'm so attached to you and I know I need to let go
Girl I, when I see you everyday, I swear your face has me feel some type of way
I wish you'd stop and see if I'm ok
But you keep on looking and you're never looking my way
Should I text you, or should I not?
Or was I stupid to say that you were all that I got
When you wanted space, and I backed off
But who would've thought that I went and bought
I gave you all of my attention, let's not forget to mention
How I sat there and I listened, but it's like your on a mission to
Take my heart, and to tear it apart, and then leave me scared, with my broken heart
Girl I, can feel you through your echoes
I know I sound dramatic I can stop if you say so
Your so fake, you be making your own labels
But I'm so attached to you and I know I need to let go
Girl I, when I see you everyday, I swear your face has me feel some type of way
I wish you'd stop and see if I'm ok
But you keep on looking and you're never looking my way
The lyrics of JR & PH7's song "Echoes" convey a sense of heartbreak and frustration in a romantic relationship. The singer expresses how they can still feel the presence of their lover, even in their absence, through the echoes of their actions and words. This suggests that despite the end of the relationship, the memories and emotions associated with their ex-partner continue to linger.
The lyrics also touch on the singer's realization of the fake persona their partner portrayed. They accuse their ex-lover of creating their own labels and presenting a false image. This implies that the singer's attachment to their ex was based on an illusion rather than on an authentic connection.
There is a sense of longing for attention and validation from the ex-lover. The singer hopes that their ex will notice their emotional turmoil and check if they are okay, but they constantly feel ignored and put aside. This lack of consideration and emotional support adds to their frustration and pain.
The lyrics also hint at the regret the singer feels for investing so deeply in the relationship. They confess that they meant their expressions of love sincerely and even almost gave up their own identity and beliefs. The fact that their ex-lover didn't follow through on promises, and the singer's friends warned them about their partner, suggests that the singer's judgment was clouded by their feelings, leading them to make mistakes.
Overall, these lyrics depict a person struggling to let go of a toxic relationship. They acknowledge the negative impact their ex-lover has had on their life, yet still find it challenging to detach themselves emotionally. The repetition of the hook "Girl I, can feel you through your echoes" reinforces the lasting impact of the relationship, as the singer continues to hear echoes of their ex's presence, despite knowing the need to move on.

However, you continue to overlook me and fail to give me attention
When I said I loved you girl I was for real I meant it
My declaration of love for you was sincere and genuine

And when I think of you from time to time, you keep crossing through my mind

I keep realizing you were just a waste of my time
I repeatedly come to the realization that you were simply a waste of my precious time
Should I text you, or should I not?
I contemplate whether I should reach out to you or refrain from doing so
Or was I stupid to say that you were all that I got
Was it foolish of me to proclaim that you were the only thing I had in my life?
When you wanted space, and I backed off
When you expressed the desire for distance, I respected your wishes and retreated
But who would've thought that I went and bought
However, who could have anticipated that I invested so much emotionally
I gave you all of my attention, let's not forget to mention
I dedicated all my focus and energy to you, let's not overlook that fact
How I sat there and I listened, but it's like your on a mission to
I patiently sat and attentively listened to you, but it feels as though you had a goal to accomplish
Take my heart, and to tear it apart, and then leave me scared, with my broken heart
You took my heart, shattered it into pieces, and left me feeling frightened and deeply hurt
