The Atlanta, Georgia trio (most popular for their spots on Adult Swim commercials) consists of emcee Mr. Wyzard, and DJs Synthesis and Dainja. Mr. Wyzard produces all but three of the tracks and his sound can be summed up as boom bap with a bouncy twist. With well thought out conceptual rhymes, tight beats, and excellent scratches and cuts from DJs Dainja and Synthesis, Psyche Origami is proof positive that rap music from the south can be so much more than the misogynistic zombie music that you see on television or hear on the radio. 4 Turntables: 1 Mic. A State-Of-The-Art Spin on the Foundations of Hip-hop. Dubbed "head-change music," Psyche Origami's material walks the thin line between "conscious" music and "party" music, with a live show that brings the content of the records to an even higher level.
The three 12" singles cut from "Is Ellipsis," the first Psyche O full length, enjoyed heavy rotation on college radio nationwide and were a favorite of New York's SURE and California's Heavyweights record pools. The singles were also a top seller in the US and Japan through TRC Distribution. In 2004-05, PO toured 36 US markets. Due in large part to the exposure gained through this aggressive tour schedule, "Is Ellipsis" was picked up by RedEye Distribution and is available in Virgin Megastores, Borders Books and Music, Best Buy and an assortment of independent stores nationwide, as well as online through Amazon.com , I-Tunes, and sandboxautomatic.com.
Sharing the stage with such heavyweights as Jurassic Five, Talib Kweli, and Ludacris, Psyche O has started to make itself known for entertaining shows that bring back the feel of the 'Golden Age' from which it was spawn. This Atlanta bred act has also been fortunate enough to have music featured on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming as well as various MTV and VH1 reality TV shows!
"Get Gassed Up" is the second single to be released from the ambitious PO sophomore effort, "The Standard": a thematic album that uses a metaphorical gas station as a backdrop to convey thoughts centered around the idea that if the body is a vehicle, what would the gas station sound like that refueled it. "The Standard" is a mostly lighthearted Hip-hop exploration of the human condition and of the realities we create, and touches on themes such as convenience, motivation, and service. 'The Standard' reached 1 on the CMJ Music charts and held a top ten position for over 6 weeks. The 'Get Gassed Up' single was picked up by Fat Beats Distribution in August of 2006.
After 'The Standard', Psyche Origami plans on extending its creative range with a project that is less thematic, but just as powerful in message and scope. "The idea is to keep the listeners on their toes. Our fans are a demanding bunch, and each time we raise the bar to satisy our previous fans as well as continuing to rope in new ones", says Mr. Wyzard, emcee/producer of Psyche Origami. With that said, look out for a new Psyche Origami album in 2009. Be sure to check www.psycheorigami.com for updates!
Wherever You Are
Psyche Origami Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo, free-slice radar with satellite tracking, homing devices, cellular contraptions
You can run but you won't get far 'cuz we're bound to find you wherever you are
Most stay in line with new age designs and then follow suit with the way you compute
In a bus, train, airplane, apartment, or car, believe that we'll find you wherever you are
Mappin' out coordinates and smashin' insubordinates
I burn 'em with a torch lit by the less fortunate
So I'ma eat no matter how big or small the portion is
You can try your hand at being motionless and be a sitting target
But that only means that in the human market you would be a bargain
A value-plus discount
I perform a routine on the parallel bars of consciousness and stick the dismount
Gotta make this count before it's all over with
Conjure up a keepsake and hope you don't dispose of it
By dispelling ??? and all of its supposedness
The inner mind's eye is what I focus with
See a door before it even manifests and open it
Entering a world without the handcuffs and scarred wrists but ya'll still want it regardless
'Cuz it's brand new (for you, and you, and you)
On-Star, Northstar, in and out of your car, State Farm's cheaper with on-board report cards
You can run but you won't get far, 'cuz we're bound to find you wherever you are
Most stay in line with new age designs and then follow suit with the way you compute
In a bus, train, airplane, apartment, or car, believe that we'll find you wherever you are
Wherever you are (x6)
Listen
Soon enough, satellites will form a force-field around the planet and surround us
While everyone is looking confused and saying "Damn, I can't believe that they found us"
A few of us will show you what tunneling underground does
Maybe it'll scramble up the signal, let 'em know we're here to battle back and it's official
Let 'em know the cattle can react to push the issue
And stampede the onslaught in style superficial
I form telepathic images into a gallery that'll be displayed in times of fantastic fallacy
Or I'll just save time and sandblast my way through
Save time 'cuz you wastin' time that we gave you
I wade through invisible transmissions and visual connections to others on hand-held receivers
Making me a product of the information age, but we stayed misinformed so that can't work either
(God knows man put under surveillance)
(Oh, the satellite lens!)
(Surveying their activity)
Synthesis and Dave Matter
(Destroy the satellite)
(Where are they?)
Free-slice radar with satellite tracking, homing devices, cellular contraptions
You can run but you won't get far 'cuz we're bound to find you wherever you are
Most stay in line with new age designs and then follow suit with the way you compute

The lyrics of Psyche Origami's "Wherever You Are" delve into the topic of surveillance and society's increasing dependence on technology for tracking and monitoring individuals. The chorus repeats the phrase "wherever you are," emphasizing the idea that no matter how hard one may try to escape being watched or followed, they will eventually be found. The first few lines mention various technological devices such as free-slice radar, satellite tracking, and homing devices that are used to track individuals. The lyrics imply that these devices are so advanced that even if someone tries to run away, they will be located and tracked down.
The next few lines seem to critique society's unquestioning embrace of technology and new age designs. The singer suggests that people follow suit with the way they compute, without questioning the potential for harm or invasion of privacy. The verse then shifts to a more personal tone, with the singer stating that they will find the person no matter where they are- on a bus, train, airplane, apartment, or car. The next section of the song shifts to more metaphorical language- "mapping out coordinates and smashing insubordinates." The singer seems to suggest that they have access to information and a state of mind that will allow them to track down the person they are looking for.

Styk, scorching it, state of mind's affordin' it
The rapper's name is Styk and he is committed to finding you no matter what
So I'ma eat no matter how big or small the portion is
We will not stop until we succeed, regardless of the effort required
You can try your hand at being motionless and be a sitting target
If you try to stay in one place and not move, you will still be an easy target for us
But that only means that in the human market you would be a bargain
Your lack of movement would make you easy to catch and therefore, cheap to acquire
A value-plus discount

I perform a routine on the parallel bars of consciousness and stick the dismount
The rapper is skilled in navigating the complexities of the human mind
Gotta make this count before it's all over with
We need to catch you quickly before it's too late
Conjure up a keepsake and hope you don't dispose of it

By dispelling ??? and all of its supposedness
We are rejecting commonly held beliefs and notions about society
The inner mind's eye is what I focus with
We rely on intuition and inner strength to find you
See a door before it even manifests and open it
We see opportunities where others might not and use it to our advantage
Entering a world without the handcuffs and scarred wrists but ya'll still want it regardless
We are free from societal constraints, but still want to apprehend you
'Cuz it's brand new (for you, and you, and you)
We are doing this differently and uniquely compared to others

Listen
Pay attention to our message
Soon enough, satellites will form a force-field around the planet and surround us
Technology will soon become so advanced that it will be able to trace everyone's every move
While everyone is looking confused and saying "Damn, I can't believe that they found us"
People will be shocked at the level of surveillance and tracking
A few of us will show you what tunneling underground does
Some people will try to evade the technology by going underground
Maybe it'll scramble up the signal, let 'em know we're here to battle back and it's official
Some will try to resist and fight back against the advanced tracking technology
Let 'em know the cattle can react to push the issue
The people being tracked will try to resist and challenge the system
And stampede the onslaught in style superficial
They will try to make their efforts seem more impressive and glamorous
I form telepathic images into a gallery that'll be displayed in times of fantastic fallacy
The rapper is able to create vivid images in his mind that people will appreciate, even if they aren't real
Or I'll just save time and sandblast my way through
We may take a more forceful approach if needed
Save time 'cuz you wastin' time that we gave you
We gave you a chance to do the right thing and alter your behavior, but you chose not to
I wade through invisible transmissions and visual connections to others on hand-held receivers
We are using advanced social media and communication tools to find you
Making me a product of the information age, but we stayed misinformed so that can't work either
We rely on technology and information, but also acknowledge that it isn't perfect
(God knows man put under surveillance)
Even though we claim to be in control, it is ultimately up to a higher power to dictate our fate
(Oh, the satellite lens!)
The satellite technology is omnipresent and almost all-seeing
(Surveying their activity)
We are constantly tracking and monitoring behavior and activity
Synthesis and Dave Matter
These are the names of the artists performing the song
(Destroy the satellite)
Some may want to destroy the tracking technology
(Where are they?)
We don't know exactly where they are, but we will find them eventually
Wherever you are
We will find you
(x6)
