The Snowgoons started in 1999, when longtime hip-hop fans Det and DJ Illegal teamed up in order to make beats together. In 2006, the duo, whose sound is often compared to the Wu-Tang Clan, added Torben and DJ Waxwork to their lineup, and after being signed to New York-based Babygrande Records, the Snowgoons debut album, German Lager, which featured rhymes from MCs like Celph Titled, Sean Price, Jus Allah, Chief Kamachi, MED, Rasco, and Wise Intelligent, among others, hit shelves early the following year.
The Snowgoons have already released 5 albums that feature a veritable who’s who of today’s underground elite! In 2011, Snowgoons collaborated with legendary New York duo M.O.P. to release the album Sparta, as well the album Your Favorite MC, with Philly's own Reef the Lost Cauze.
Throughout the years, the buzz surrounding the Snowgoons has steadily escalated as their gritty, authentic and eclectic beats have gained recognition in both the United States, as well as within the burgeoning European Hip-Hop scene. DJ Illegal & Sicknature also represent the Snowgoons liveshow and are killing stages from Europe to U.S.A. and Canada, with artists like M.O.P., La Coka Nostra, Army of the Pharaohs, Sabac Red, and many others.

Snowgoons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reef the Lost Cauze, Snowgoons, another class
This for all you hatin-ass bastards
This what I tell 'em nowadays
Yo, yo, from the city of Godless, Philly the hardest
It don't matter what I say they wouldn't kill me regardless
They say I'm a MC but really an artist
But I'm not animated like a cartoon
My posessed work, spear your flesh like harpoon
All you, are now in tune, to the illest MC's
Try to mimic but don't sound as cool
How can you dupe a dummy, astound a fool
Spit so much, you will drown in drool
You're a bunch of clowns and coons that'll get found in dunes
A plastic hammer, basically a childish tool
You wild as who; I defile your crew
You must be trippin like a thousand 'shrooms - I'm the truth
You're the lie in the flesh, I put tires to neck
They describe you as sex, I'm as live as it gets
PUSSY ! Stop gettin your words tangled
Fuck around and just get your whole earth mangled
You be the first strangled, I come to your show
Beat you down and then kill it at your merch table
You can hate all you want, you will never beat it
You can fake all you want, you will never beat it
You can wait all you want, you will never see it
You talk a lot of shit, but you ain't never mean it
You starvin out here dawg, you are never eatin
I'm walkin out here dawg, we are never leavin
You hold a gun and get chunked, you will never squeeze it
I had a gun all my life, and I ain't never need it
I walk a strip that's narrow with a clique of pharoahs
Splits fifths and barrels in sick apparel
Kids is scarecrows
I roll with Snowgoons and they don't sing Christmas carols
No Frosty or Rudolph, you awfully and too soft
You fuckin SUCK, you lost me at two bars
All I got in this world, a word and two balls
I'm in the wilderness, spitting moose calls
I am vermouth raw, you're a goofball
That's why no one knows who the fuck you are
I don't own a new car, I'm too far ahead of the traffic
I'm beheadin you bastards
With the most majestic of magic, well not really
But you all gettin your ass kicked
I spit battle raps to no one in particular
Just to do it and to remind MC's that I'm I'll as fuck
The killer cause, with a killer buzz
I'm high, plus on the streets I got a killer buzz
Copped your CD I feel you cause, it's feeler music
Now I know what they mean by filler, what
Never, never, no, never
Never, never
Snowgoons, Reef the Lost Cauze
We got another one
This need to be the fuckin, lead-off single and shit with the video
F'real, y'understand
Ain't nobody fuckin with this man, you know that
HAHAHA, I'm just playin - well not really
But I'm... I'm OUT !
The lyrics of Snowgoons's song Never clearly portray the rapper's attitude towards haters and their feeble attempts to imitate him. Reef the Lost Cauze is the lead rapper, who starts by stating he is not just an MC but an artist, like DaVinci, who sees the world in a unique way. Reef has lyrics that stun and is not just a cartoonist, but a serious artist whose work will make any critic feel like they have been speared in your flesh through his lyrics. Reef confidently claims that he is the real deal, and those that are imitating him cannot measure up to his standards. Reef views his music as the truth and his critics' words as lies, adeptly using wordplay to prove those trying to imitate him are not up to par.
The lyrics assert that Reef is not disillusioned by his critics' opinions, and he makes it clear that their negative comments do not affect him. Reef comes off as confident in his abilities, and he lets his detractors know he cannot be brought down by their poisonous words. Reef's lyrics also express how he is far ahead of his critics, and they are not even in the same league as him. He views his critics as inferior to him, and their opinion does not matter in his world because he is walking out there, never leaving. Reef also mentions how he is more concerned with creative authenticity and making timeless music, and his critics' success is merely a façade in delivery.

Yo, yo, from the city of Godless, Philly the hardest
I come from Philadelphia, which is known for being one of the toughest cities in the US
It don't matter what I say they wouldn't kill me regardless
Even though I might say things that are controversial, it won't lead to my death because I'm respected as an artist
They say I'm a MC but really an artist
Some people call me a rapper but I see myself more as an artist
Simply DaVinci, peep your paint and draw it
I'm like a modern-day Leonardo DaVinci, in that I can look at something and then paint or draw it

Although I'm creative like cartoons, I'm not animated and silly like one
My posessed work, spear your flesh like harpoon
My music is so powerful that it cuts through people like a sharp object
All you, are now in tune, to the illest MC's
Everyone listening is hearing the most talented MCs in the game

Others may try to copy my style, but they won't be able to match the swagger I bring to the mic
How can you dupe a dummy, astound a fool

Spit so much, you will drown in drool
My bars are so sick and raw that you might drool and choke on your own saliva

You're horrible at rapping, and I stopped listening to you after just two lines
All I got in this world, a word and two balls
My entire livelihood and confidence is based on the power of my words and my own courage
I'm in the wilderness, spitting moose calls
I'm out here in the wild, calling out and making an impact in the rap game
I am vermouth raw, you're a goofball
I'm completely real and edgy in my music, while you come off as silly and unprofessional
That's why no one knows who the fuck you are
You're irrelevant and unknown in the music industry
I don't own a new car, I'm too far ahead of the traffic
I don't care about flashy material possessions, I'm focused on reaching a higher level of success than anybody else
I'm beheadin you bastards
I'm figuratively destroying my competition with my sick rhymes
With the most majestic of magic, well not really
Although I'm talented, I don't actually possess any supernatural abilities
But you all gettin your ass kicked
Despite this, I'm still beating all of you in the rap game
I spit battle raps to no one in particular
I don't have any specific targets in my rap battles, I just want to prove my own skills
Just to do it and to remind MC's that I'm I'll as fuck
Spitting battle raps is just to show off and remind everyone that I'm insanely talented
The killer cause, with a killer buzz
I'm like a deadly force in the rap game, with a fierce reputation to back me up
I'm high, plus on the streets I got a killer buzz
I've got a reputation on the streets as being a powerful force to be reckoned with
Copped your CD I feel you cause, it's feeler music
I bought your album but didn't like it because it was too emotional and soft
Now I know what they mean by filler, what
I now understand why people call certain parts of songs 'filler', because it's unnecessary content that doesn't really add anything to the experience
Never, never, no, never
I'll never falter in my confidence and my approach to the game
Never, never
I'll always remain true to myself and push myself to be better
Snowgoons, Reef the Lost Cauze
These are the talented people I work with to create my music
We got another one
We've created another hit song to add to our collection of great music
This need to be the fuckin, lead-off single and shit with the video
This song should be the top single of our album, complete with a highly-produced and high-quality music video
F'real, y'understand
I'm completely serious, you know what I mean?
Ain't nobody fuckin with this man, you know that
Nobody can match the level of skill and talent that I bring to the rap game
HAHAHA, I'm just playin - well not really
I'm joking around, but I actually believe in my own hype as a talented rapper
