Queens, NY – Hip Hop artist and political figure Mike “Pizon” Scala is back with a powerful new single, “Read Between the Lines,” featuring acclaimed lyricist JoJo Pellegrino, from his highly anticipated album Mic Scholar. The single, now available on major streaming platforms, comes with a captivating animated video directed by Pizon himself and brought to life by the talented animator Agerockstone.
“Read Between the Lines” is an intense, thought-provoking track that urges listeners to question the information they’re fed and discern truth from deception. The collaboration with JoJo Pellegrino brings a sharp lyrical edge, delivering verses that challenge conventional narratives and suggest looking beyond the surface.
The animated video, exclusively on YouTube, is a striking visual accompaniment to the song’s message. Directed by Pizon, the video unfolds in a surreal, comic book-like universe where characters are entangled in a web of misinformation and distorted truths. As the narrative concludes, viewers are compelled to rewind to the beginning and take in the story with a new understanding.
The video’s vibrant, high-energy animation style mirrors the intensity of the Cultxre-produced track, creating an immersive experience. It challenges viewers to decode hidden messages, tying back to the song’s central theme of skepticism and awareness.
“Coming from the world of politics, I believed this was an important theme,” Pizon said. “The concept of the song is simple: only believe half of what you hear.”
“Read Between the Lines” is a standout track from Mic Scholar, the upcoming album that blends Pizon’s experiences as an emcee and a political figure, addressing themes of power, justice and real life. The single, along with its animated video, adds another layer of depth to Pizon’s ongoing mission of encouraging people to think for themselves in an increasingly complicated world.
