'Introdiction' is the introduction to Scroobius Pip’s forthcoming solo album. The title is a play on words of diction and obviously introduction, released as a teaser for the album titled ‘Distraction Pieces’. Even though this song lacks the presence of partner in crime Dan le Sac, there are backing vocals provided by Resident Evil’s Milla Jovovich.

As expected the tune is filled with fantastic lyrics, an attribute synonymous with the man from Millwall. Just one example of this is "you see a mousetrap, I see free cheese and a fucking challenge", lyrical genius. What really sets this guy apart from the rest though is the fact that the lyrics are coupled with a real passionate heartfelt delivery. In addition, the “flow” suits this song down to a tee, even if it was stolen from Tyler, The Creator amongst others. Pip has produced a work of art with this one, and this is only the introduction! The one downside is that the world has to wait until September 19^th to hear the album released on Speech Development.

The video for the song contains Pip burning a poem, trimming his beard, shaving his hair, burning a map of the world with an angry mob style torch of a horse’s head, and all in the confined space of tiny room reminiscent of a wooden cabin, and on a budget of £100. You can check out this intense and spectacular video below:
