    Set It Off is an American rock band based in Tampa, Florida. The band gained a following through vocalist Cody Carson's YouTube Channel rockmaniac89 and was subsequently signed by Equal Vision Records after releasing a string of successful extended plays. Out of the two studio albums that have been released, both have charted on the U.S. Billboard 200; Cinematics (2012) peaked at 174 while Duality (2014) peaked at 86.

    History

    Formation (2008)

    Cody Carson met Dan Clermont in high school when the two were in the marching band together and became friends. Austin Kerr and Zach Dewall were in a band together prior to the formation of Set It Off. The band played local shows with the band that Carson was in at the time. Then, Carson left for Ohio to attend the Oberlin Conservatory of Music as a classical clarinet student. In his first year, after exchanging a series of YouTube videos with him, Carson asked All Time Low's frontman Alex Gaskarth if he could sing Coffee Shop Soundtrack on stage at their upcoming concert at the Cleveland House Of Blues via a YouTube video, to which Gaskarth agreed. That performance helped Carson confirm his dream of starting a rock band, and not long after Carson dropped out of college and used his school money to come back and start up the band. Dewall and Kerr were amongst the first to follow. Dan Clermont also joined the band. James Arran was Set It Off's initial drummer. Financial struggles made gas purchase difficult for him, giving rise to stress which makes James decide to resign on August 24, 2008. Blake Howell became Set It Off's next drummer. He soon left the band due to difficulties his family was facing. Blake was replaced by Benjamin Panico (nicknamed Benji Panic by Set It Off) on October 30, 2009; however, they have since parted ways so that Benji could pursue his GED and later to start his own photography studio. The current drummer for the band, Maxx Danziger, was found through a mutual friend (Blake).

    Set It Off (Madball album)

    Set It Off is the debut full-length album by New York band Madball. The outro at the end of "The World Is Mine" is from the movie White Heat.

    Set It Off

    by: Big Daddy Kane

    [Verse One]
    Let it roll, get bold, I just can't hold
    Back, or fold cos I'm a man with soul
    In control and effect, so what the heck
    Rock the discotheques and this groove is what's next
    Attack, react, exact, the mack'll move you with
    A strong song, as long as you groove to this
    I keep the crowd loud when you're hype
    Do damage onstage and injure the mic
    As I shoot the gift MC's stand stiff
    While my rhymes stick to you like Skippy and Jif
    Feel my blood fist, or my death kiss
    The rap soloist, you don't want none of this
    Supreme in this era, I reign with terror
    When I grab the mic believe you're gonna hear a
    Fascinatin' rhyme as I enchant them
    So let's all sing the Big Daddy anthem
    Go with the flow, my rhymes grow like an afro
    I entertain again and Kane'll never have no
    Problem, I can sneeze, sniffle and cough
    E-e-e-even if I stutter Imma still come off
    Cos rappers can't understand the mics I rip
    They sure enough ain't equipped, that's why they got flipped
    But my apparatus is up to status
    Don't ask who's the baddest, of course that is
    The maker, breaker, taker, my rhymes ache the head
    Put it to bed, so watch what is said
    Save the bass for the pipe and rearrange your tone
    Or take a loss and be forced in the danger zone
    Cos I get ill and kill at will
    Teachin a skill that's real, you're no frill
    So just stand still and chill as I build
    Science I drill until my rhymes fill
    Your head up...don't even get up
    The teacher is teachin', so just shut up
    [Verse Two]
    Rappers, take a step back, or you will soon regret that
    You ever had to confront me and you can bet that
    I come correct, perfect, in full effect
    Disconnect, dissect, eject as I wreck shop
    Stand in command with the clan
    Caravan or van, we go man for man and
    Without further ado or any delay
    Mister Cee as we say, call him the DJ
    Mad Money Murf with the triple M
    Smooth the barber keepin' my flat-top trim
    Scoob Lover my brother, Scrap Lover my other
    Dancin' with the crew so allow the boys to smother
    The floor, and endure just for your pleasure
    As the microphone lord proceeds to get raw
    Acrobatic, Asiatic, rap fanatic
    I get dramatic and rhymes start flowin' automatically
    From me, so don't play me, obey me
    When asked "Who's the best?", you better say me
    I'm sendin' sucker MC's headin' north
    And if you still want some...set if off
    For you to cope is just a wish and a hope
    And if you are what you eat they're feedin' me dope
    Cos I'm just about as dope as dope can get
    Ultimate, legit, Kane is a perfect fit
    The king of my kingdom, completin' a cipher
    The lyrics I bring them keeps the crowd hyper
    As I release the masterpiece
    The groove will never cease until Kane says "Peace"
    So, maestro, yo, hit it
    Big Daddy Kane's about to come with it, cause...
