about

DZ Riley's first single, "The Bare Minimum", showcases the skillsets of their new bandmates with a high-energy and story-driven track. The song gets right down to business with aggressive tones and rhythm positioned in contrast to the song's message - giving the least amount of effort required in your day job. In addition to the single, DZ Riley will also be releasing a music video that reflects the track's energy and tells the story of an overworked employee.

lyrics

Hey!

We got a million ways to get the job done
Think of the time we'll save choosing the simple one

All your work's in vain
We still earn the same
'Spite your indecision and my imperfection
So if quality wasn't meant to be
If it's good to you, then it's good to me

I don't do this shit for fun, no
We got ourselves an A-Team?
Please
But why am I the only one here
Who's paddling this boat upstream?
Weenoneeno master vision
Remember what my mama say
She told me never burn your bridges
But don't break your back if you ain't getting paid

All your work's in vain
We still earn the same
'Spite your indecision and my imperfection
So if quality wasn't meant to be
If it's good to you, then it's good to me
Come on now
