Queens-based Hip Hop artist and political figure Mike “Pizon” Scala has released his latest single, Read Between the Lines, featuring JoJo Pellegrino. The track, from his upcoming album Mic Scholar, challenges listeners to think critically about the narratives they hear and uncover the truth beneath the surface. JoJo Pellegrino delivers a haunting hook with the refrain “I can’t call it,” capturing the song’s sense of uncertainty and frustration.
Lyrically, Pizon paints a vivid picture of life’s struggles, from broken relationships to financial instability. The protagonist navigates a world where money rules, and reputation is everything, all while grappling with inner turmoil. Lines like “there ain’t no healthcare in his world where cash is king” reflect the harsh realities of a system that often leaves people behind, pushing them to their breaking point.
The animated video, directed by Pizon and brought to life by Agerockstone, features a striking pencil-sketch style reminiscent of the classic Take On Me video by a-ha. The song’s hidden messages invite listeners to decode its symbolism, encouraging reflection on the distorted truths and misinformation in today’s world.
