New Genious (Brother)

New Genious (Brother) is the fourth track on Gorillaz' 2001 album "Gorillaz". Whether if  'Genious'  was deliberate or a mistake is unknown, since some versions correct it to Genius.

Recording
Taking a sample of Bo Diddley's performance of Odetta's Hit or Miss, Russel Hobbs bumped up the beat with some extra programming, formulating an intricate, twisting rhythm around which 2-D could showcase his mournful falsetto.

The lyrics advise caution and suggest a growing sense of suspicion. 2-D claims the song was directed at Murdoc.
