The Matrixs, is a parody of the movie “The Matrix”. “Conscious Level” the group takes on the system to fight for equality and the good of all mankind. Conscious Level is the dynamic Hip-Hop group with West Coast Energy, Southern Flavor, and East Coast Intellect.
“Conscious Level” consists of four members, which are Haduj, Salazar, The Architect, and Xtreme….Their mission is to speak truth and light, while tackling
socially conscious issues and challenging listeners to expand their minds and embrace knowledge. Their Mantra is Each One Teach One Uplift the Nation, consistent with paying homage to the original days of Hip-Hop, when the music stood for substance and depth and the subject matter was ideal and relevant.
Conscious Level is poised to be the champion of the People’s Cause and utilizes innovative beats and poignant, thought-provoking lyrics as the basis for elevating not only the state of hip-hop but the mindset of the people who seek hip-hop’s return.
The responsibility that accompanies each endeavor is one of speaking against wrongs that contribute to degradation of our people, including but not limited to incarceration and killing of our youth, misogynistic disrespect that is continuously hurled at our women, and the unending glorifying of material wealth.
Conscious Level’s Music and Message is not only relevant and needed, but has the potential to be Life Changing as well as Culturally Changing in 2014 and beyond. No other artist of any musical genre’ is fusing rhythmic and melodic beats with emcees of such lyrical caliber and knowledge- as Conscious Level.

Not Sorry Anymore is a song of joy after defeat. Like it’s central guitar lick, it keeps moving, no matter what life throws at it. All stories start in a moment. And the story of this song starts with the sea. Resting on a surfboard beyond the breaks of a Californian coast, Adam Dunstan listened to a friend’s tragic story of personal triumph. Her words; “Adam, I just don’t want to be sorry anymore.” resonated with Adam like the waves on the beach.
Later in the studio, with that moment in mind, Adam was experimenting with a fresh lick. A producer took note and inquired of Adam. Questions lead to discussions, and discussion to action. What Adam felt to be just a lick wrought from the morning’s moment, was in fact a song; NOT SORRY ANYMORE.
Years later and nearly a continent away, a young man was walking thru Union Square in the rain. Instead of stopping to smell the roses, he noticed a single flower someone had placed in the hand of a Gandhi Statue. And in a moment, a whole story unfolded set to the music of his iPod. The young man, an upstart director, set pen to paper and new visual story was born. But a visual story needs a voice, and a director needs a star. As fate would have it Adam Dunstan moved to New York for a change of scenery, and the two met by chance at Paddy Reilly’s Music Bar in the heart of Manhattan. Within weeks production was underway.
