2. Shogun Audio co-owner Keir Tyrer (AKA - K-Tee) is truly one of the original D'n'B soldiers. With over 16 years in the Drum ‘n' Bass game and over 80 releases under his belt K-Tee’s story is similar to many in that he took a typical route listening to the sounds of early hip hop before moving to the ‘rave’ sound in the early 90’s. .. .. K-Tee’s first forays into the world of music production were as part of a hip hop collective with a number of school mates, K-Tee would create beats on an Amiga computer and the other members of the crew would come up with the rhymes. Although many tunes were made, no material was released and it was not until K-Tee started working seriously with long time friend Stakka in 1992 that any serious moves were actually made. .. .. ‘Ruffneck Ragga’ became the first Stakka & K-Tee release, on south London label Just Dance Recordings. Following this initial success the next batch of recordings was picked up by the legendary Ant Miles. He invited the promising producers into the studio to mix the tracks down for release on Liftin’ Spirits in ‘94. Those first two tracks ‘Brockin Out’ and ‘Serious Intention’ set the tone for the next few years and followed into 9 releases on Ram / Liftin Spirit labels most notably ‘Orange Sunshine’ from the first Ram LP ‘The Speed of Sound’ and the Andy C collaboration ‘Danger Zone’. .. .. By ’96 Stakka had setup Audio Blueprint and Underfire record labels and over the next few years K-Tee had a number of releases on these labels. It was during this period that K-Tee linked with local producers DJ Friction and NuBalance who were brought into the Underfire family. .. .. Following the demise of Underfire and Audio blueprint records in the year 2000 K-Tee continued to work with Stakka, Friction and NuBalance under the guise of the Militia. During this period the crew released a number of tracks on various labels including the seminal 'Electrolux' and 'Paranioa' on Hardware Recordings. .. .. As time progressed K-Tee began working ever closer with DJ Friction who was by now a close friend. Their first release “Immortal” on Charge recordings in 2002 cemented the working relationship and led to a number of releases on labels such as CIA and Hardware. It was only a matter of time before Friction developed his own label, Shogun Audio which then become the main outlet for Friction & K-Tee productions, including the massive 2007 dance floor anthem 'Back To Your Roots'. .. .. Scroll forward to to 2008.....K-Tee and Friction are now business partners and joint owners of the new Shogun Audio Ltd Group incorporating their publishing arm 'Temple Publishing'. With the record label going from strength to strength, and recent releases on Hospital, Metalheadz and the recent remix of Dan Le Sac vs Scrubulous Pip's 'Thou Shalt Always Kill' K-Tee is busier than ever and 2009 is shaping up to be the year that Shogun Audio fully comes of age!
Set It Off
K-Tee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought that you would need me
Never tried to read me
Pushed away a feeling
Showed me you was sleazy
I never said loving me was painless
Thought that you could take this
But now you out here
That ain't even on the same shit
Now I'm hunting, running
Looking for the culprit
And I promised myself I would sulk it
But the pain I've been feeling can't Control it
Baby got me
Crying, hiding
Running from the
People who've been trying
To take the place of you
But they be lying
See me on my lonely so they prying
Y'all gone make me set it off
Gave you my heart
Ain't know the cost
Played a good game
But I lost
Referee help me
Get me out his sheets
This man I cant read
But he can read me
Ooo
Why didn't anybody warn me
Too on too strong he implored me
I was married to the money
He divorced me
Didn't have force me
That's what's alarming
This ain't a freestyle
More like a free trial
Needed your ears
To feel the truth in every fake smile
Ain't acting like a bitch
Ain't brought this shit upon herself
But I ain't even see the wealth
Of being happy by myself
So now I'm sitting still
Paying for cheap thrills
Simply trying to heal
While you're
Running after hoes
Saying no one knows
Your insides are broke
Now I'm
Hunting, running
Looking for the culprit
And I promised myself
I wouldn't sulk it
But the pain I've been feeling
Can't control it
Baby got me
Crying, hiding
Running from the people
Who've been trying
To take the place of you
But they be lying
See me on my lonely so they prying
Y'all gone make me set it off
Now I'm showing you the cost
All this damage that you've dealt
Only showed me you're a fraud
Used to think you were a boss
But the truth just showed you thought
From the streets
Yeah not at all
See you croaking like a frog
Oooo
Pushed your line straight to the dime
Had me wasting all my love
And all my time
Made me think it was crime
Family thought I lost my mind
Caught me praying to a shrine
Asking God for a sign
Asking God for a sign
I ain't lose my mind
Needed a moment to rewind
Looking back I could have stopped it
I could have popped it
I should have shot shit
But I ain't toxic
So I got locked in
With someone popping
And ain't no stopping
I hope you watching
Need a new topic
Cause you a lost kid
Wishing you logic
All in Gods timing
Hunting, running
Looking for the culprit
And I promised myself
I wouldn't sulk it
But the pain I been feeling
Can't control it
Baby got me
Crying, hiding
Running from the people
Who been trying
To take the place of you
But they be lying
See me on my lonely
So they prying
Y'all gone make me set it off
Hunting, running
Looking for the culprit
And I promised myself
I wouldn't sulk it
But the pain I've been feeling
Can't control it
Baby got me
Crying, hiding
Running from the people
Who been trying
To take the place of you
But they be lying
See me on my lonely
So they prying
Now just watch me set it off

Never said loving me was easy
I never claimed that being in a relationship with me would be effortless
Thought that you would need me
I believed that you would depend on me
Never tried to read me
You never made an effort to understand me
Pushed away a feeling
You rejected your emotions
Showed me you was sleazy
You demonstrated that you were untrustworthy
I never said loving me was painless
I never claimed that being in love with me would be devoid of pain
Thought that you could take this
You believed you could handle the challenges in our relationship
But now you out here
But now you are out there
Running round with bitches
Engaging with other women
That ain't even on the same shit
Who are not even on the same level
Now I'm hunting, running
Now I am searching, running
Looking for the culprit
Seeking the one responsible
And I promised myself I would sulk it
And I swore I would wallow in self-pity
But the pain I've been feeling can't Control it
But I cannot control the pain I have been experiencing
Baby got me
You have made me
Crying, hiding
Crying and concealing
Running from the
Avoiding the
People who've been trying
Individuals who have been attempting
To take the place of you
To fill your spot
But they be lying
But they are dishonest
See me on my lonely so they prying
They observe me when I am alone, so they pry
Y'all gone make me set it off
You all will compel me to act out
Gave you my heart
I entrusted you with my love
Ain't know the cost
Did not realize the consequences
Played a good game
Engaged in a convincing act
But I lost
But I ended up defeated
Referee help me
Referee, assist me
Get me out his sheets
Remove me from his bed
This man I cant read
I cannot understand this man
But he can read me
But he can understand me
Why didn't anybody warn me
Why did nobody caution me
Too on too strong he implored me
He insisted on being excessively assertive
I was married to the money
I was devoted to wealth
He divorced me
He separated from me
Didn't have force me
He had no need to compel me
That's what's alarming
That is what is disturbing
This ain't a freestyle
This is not an improvised performance
More like a free trial
Closer to a test period
Needed your ears
I required your attentive listening
To feel the truth in every fake smile
To sense the authenticity behind each insincere smile
Ain't acting like a bitch
I am not behaving like a despicable person
Ain't brought this shit upon herself
She did not bring this situation upon herself
But I ain't even see the wealth
But I did not even recognize the value
Of being happy by myself
Of finding happiness in my own company
So now I'm sitting still
Therefore, I am now remaining motionless
Paying for cheap thrills
Enduring the consequences of insignificant pleasures
Simply trying to heal
Merely attempting to recover
While you're
While you are
Running after hoes
Chasing after promiscuous women
Saying no one knows
Claiming that nobody understands
Your insides are broke
Your inner self is broken
Now I'm showing you the cost
Now I am revealing the consequences to you
All this damage that you've dealt
The harm that you have caused
Only showed me you're a fraud
Only demonstrated that you are a deceitful person
Used to think you were a boss
I used to believe you were influential
But the truth just showed you thought
But the truth revealed that you actually believed
From the streets
From the urban environment
Yeah not at all
Yes, not at all
See you croaking like a frog
Witnessing you struggling like a frog
Pushed your line straight to the dime
Elevated yourself to the highest level
Had me wasting all my love
Made me squander all my affection
And all my time
And all my time
Made me think it was crime
Caused me to believe it was a punishable act
Family thought I lost my mind
My family believed I had gone insane
Caught me praying to a shrine
Caught me praying at a sacred place
Asking God for a sign
Requesting a sign from God
I ain't lose my mind
I did not lose my sanity
Needed a moment to rewind
I required a moment to go back in time
Looking back I could have stopped it
Reflecting, I could have prevented it
I could have popped it
I could have intervened
I should have shot shit
I should have taken action
But I ain't toxic
But I am not harmful
So I got locked in
So I became trapped
With someone popping
With someone popular
And ain't no stopping
And there is no halting
I hope you watching
I hope you are observing
Need a new topic
Require a different subject
Cause you a lost kid
Because you are a confused individual
Wishing you logic
Wishing for rationality
All in Gods timing
All in accordance with God's timing
Now just watch me set it off
Now simply observe me initiate actions
