THE PERSON ON THE INTERNET Unleashes a Cyber-Cerebral Rap Banger Featuring Riddlore, Ira Lee, Not Tha One & Vanessa John

THE PERSON ON THE INTERNET Releases a Cerebral, High-Voltage Rap Collaboration

THE PERSON ON THE INTERNET returns with a powerhouse collaboration featuring veteran emcees Riddlore, Ira Lee, and NOT THA ONE—the current artistic evolution of Canadian lyricist ET—alongside the ethereal musical presence of Toronto’s Vanessa John.

What erupts is a cerebral rap-banger that feels like a cosmic cypher floating through a network of glitch, grit, and space debris. The track delivers razor-sharp lyricism, abstract storytelling, and a boom-bap backbone designed for the hardcore underground rap fan and the anti-incel alike.

It’s not patriarchal.
Not incel-coded.
Not two minutes and forty-six seconds.
It’s something else entirely—something deeper, stranger, heavier.

A Textural Storm: Vanessa John Meets MicroKorg Chaos

Toronto musician Vanessa John injects the track with ghostly guitar moans that drift like signals from another planet. Her contributions converse with the sporadic, dirty MicroKorg layers—an ET signature—creating a sonic landscape that is both grimy and celestial.

The result is a boom-bap cyber-duster: raw, dusty drums colliding with futuristic textures and lyrical acrobatics.

The hook lines cut straight into the digital psyche:

You’re the person on the internet
Faced blurred in the pic
The burnt-chipped-cigarette
The curvature
The silhouette
You’re the person on the internet,
And I’ve been searching for you
All my life
Loving you
In bitterness

A love letter.
A warning.
A glitch in the algorithmic heart.

NOT THA ONE (ET): The Garage-Core Lexicon Bender

NOT THA ONE, also known as ET, stands as one of Canada’s most inventive underground emcees. His artistry is rooted in:

  • intricate word aerobics
  • multi-analog vocal processing
  • bass guitar + MicroKorg instrumentation
  • avant-rap poems woven into unconventional structures

His sound is a garage-core appendage, rejecting the idea of a single, unified emcee voice. Instead, he embraces vocal multiplicity, distortion, and raw edges.

ET’s world lives between motion and sketchbook—frequent video mixtapes, audio-visual experiments, and gritty, vulnerable moments that blur the line between performance and process.

A prairie-born visionary, he is one half of MS.GOD and one half of Lemon-Aids, carrying a lineage of lexicon-bending broadcast agents.

In short: Rap brain incarnate.

Riddlore: A West Coast Pioneer in Experimental Hip-Hop

Los Angeles legend Riddlore brings decades of underground mastery to the record. A founding member of C.V.E. (Chillin Villain Empire) and a core figure in Project Blowed, his legacy is built on:

  • experimental lyricism
  • cryptic poetic delivery
  • fearless sonic innovation
  • global collaborations with forward-thinking artists

Since appearing on the historic Project Blowed (1995) compilation, Riddlore has been a cornerstone of West Coast indie rap. His work merges raw soundscapes with socio-political tension—always questioning, always resisting, always evolving.

He is a sonic alchemist, shaping the energy of this track with depth, presence, and wisdom carved from the roots of L.A.’s underground.

Ira Lee: The Absurd, Sorrowful Storyteller

Ira Lee rips open rap’s emotional core with a style that is bizarre, sorrowful, and beautifully deconstructed. His approach to music is informed by:

  • shape-shifting identity
  • raw emotional depth
  • polymorphic storytelling
  • experimental sound & science fusion

Lee deconstructs the human condition—romance, guilt, absurdity, decay—and rebuilds it through jagged poetic fragments. His verse adds a wounded, surreal layer that enriches the track’s world.

Vanessa John: Genre-Fluid Experimentalist from Toronto

A songwriter, musician, DJ, and unapologetic creative, Vanessa John operates across genres with absolute freedom. Her Guyanese roots and experimental spirit shape a sound that can swing from:

  • acoustic ballads
  • to electric noise storms
  • to feedback labyrinths

She does it on her own terms, exploring texture, identity, and chaos with equal boldness.

Her contribution to this track is not ornamental—it’s foundational. The atmospheric guitar textures expand the track into something haunted, intimate, and impossible to categorize.

A Cyber-Boom-Bap Statement for the Underground

This collaboration doesn’t just combine voices—it collides worlds.
It’s a rap poem.
A glitch ritual.
A cyber-dust boom-bap sermon for the overlooked and over-online.

THE PERSON ON THE INTERNET has assembled a cast of underground heavyweights to create a track that refuses to sit neatly in any genre box. It’s raw, cerebral, messy, beautiful, and alive.

For fans of experimental hip-hop, avant-rap, or the murky in-between where art becomes chaos, this record is a must-hear.
