Redman, Sermon — fire lit in '94
Keith Murray slicing through with a razor-sharp flow
Common, Fat Joe, Beatnuts — strike with “Cash”
Guru & Primo — perfect cuts, building bridges
M.O.P. — live rounds — the ‘99 scene
De La Soul — rhymes sail through the trouble seas
Cuban & AI— settled scores on the mic
From Japan to New York, we carried that hype
Mos Def and I drew the map with “Travellin’ Man”
KRS — cut deep with a realist’s hand
Sean P — his voice still pounds in my chest
Jeru sparked flames on “El Presidente”'s text
Sessions engraved
Heat that never cooled
Stamped my path — where beats rule
Dj honda production
My history lives where the beat pulls
The sound speaks in a silent design
Every drop, every bar — this is the Respect Line
Reunited PMD in 2000’s call
Burning belief — beats checked it all
From America to Europe, next stop Korea
An era built with B-BOYS & GIRLS who dream up the future
With Poetic, we lit the flame of “hⅢ”
Voices in booths breathed life into beats
Gravediggaz’ will still echoes in tone
These bars hold the souls I’ve known
Def Squad, Hit Squad — my frontline
No I.D. looping days, rhythm in time
Pad sessions with Beatnuts, raw and tight
With Biz Markie’s name held close every night
Sadat X gave me words that uplift
Without feeling, a song ain’t worth shit
I make a billion — from underground rise
Stamped my path — where the beats never lie
The sound speaks in a silent design

Every drop, every bar — this is the Respect Line
The sound speaks in a silent design
Every drop, every bar — this is the Respect Line
Dj honda production
Beats never lie
To Hip Hop — I owe you everything
You gave me the beat
I gave it back with truth
Respect, forever
Beats never lie

One Man Orchestra
dj honda
[dj honda releases two new solo albums simultaneously, his first in 16 years]
He has released two self-titled albums, "hV," his first since "hIV" in 2009.
16 years. It's not silence, it's discipline.
"hV" is the culmination of sounds created "by himself" -- the name represents the evolution of sounds that transcends time, and the ultimate dialogue with oneself.
It is truly a "one-man show." And a "one-man orchestra."
In 2025, the heartbeat of h will resonate once again around the world.
That is the proof of dj honda.
