Nephilim Modulation Sessions is the project of Emcees and Producers Orko Eloheim and Bigg Jus of Company Flow, This collaboration demonstrates their innovation in imagery from which their lyrical content runs from corporate right wing, American foreign policy, American weapons exchange programs, Bush Administration agendas to its more occult aspects based on Freemasonry, the Bohemian Grove, Extraterrestrial origins of God, Fallen Angels and Eye of Providence on the pyramid of the dollar bill to name a few.

[edit] Origins
In 2003, NYC indie-innovator (and central member of Company Flow) Big Justoleum / Bigg Jus left the NYC metropolis he’d always loved, for the somewhat more rural setting of a south-Georgia cotton mill. Holing up with Californian avant-rap underground legend Orko Elohiem, the pair initially planned to put together a futuristic, abstract hip-hop set piece, a ‘Bird Meets Miles’ of avant-rap. It wasn’t long before the barrage of war reporting, nightmarish political rhetoric and the ever-present image of George W. Bush, delivered courtesy of their TV on an hourly basis, put paid to their plans. "After two months of waking up every morning to a blitzkrieg of right wing media innuendo and the most nauseating, ridiculous sabre-rattling paranoia since the Joseph McCarthy witch hunts we had no choice but to produce this record," Jus explains.
Holed up in a rural cotton mill loft in deep South Georgia, They recorded two devastating albums known as "The Nephlim Modulation Sessions" often confused with "Nephilim Modulation Systems" because of the NMS acronym.
‘Woe To Thee O Land Whose King is a Child’ was the first installment of the recordings the duo named the ‘Nephlim Modulation Sessions.’ This was no cliched lip-service or self-righteous discourse, but rather an epic assault and analysis of the new political landscape that was fearful, raging and funny in equal parts.
If ‘Woe To Thee’ set out the problems as they stood in 2003, second installment ‘Imperial Letters of Protection’ was always desgined to provide some answers. Luckily, Jus and Orko’s blueprint forms an album which surpasses even its predecessor.
Expanding the backdrop to an allegorical, galactic overview (‘Chess With The Galaxies,’) Imperial Letters re-examines the constriction of liberty at home (‘Evacuate The White House,’ Get Him Signed,’) and urges action on the part of the little guy; ‘…the most dangerous person of all is he who does nothing.’ ‘Strike Back’ is a literal, incandescent command.
Added to the trademark anger and dramatic, highly-evolved production is a sense of catharsis, evident on instrumental track ‘The Upliftment,’ and even in the musicality of the seemingly pessimistic ‘Last Days.’ Like the landscape this record disects and reacts to, contradiction and conflicting emotion is a given, and an important artistic tension. The duo may have ended up with a musical innovation like ‘Bird Meets Miles’ after all, and the result is another another heartfelt, important and brilliantly executed record.
Critical acclaim for ‘Woe to Thee O Land Whose King is a Child.’
‘A withering musical and lyrical assault on the neo-conservative creed…’ – Muzik
‘Reconnects with a tradition of radical protest that dates back to the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron.’ – The Daily Telegraph
‘A sinister musical tapestry, and sophisticated rhyming analysis.’ – The Independent on Sunday
‘Like all the best political records, the music here speaks as loud as the words, and the words ain’t bad!’ – The Wire
