PLANET GIZA (FEAT. ELIJAH FOX) MINDING MY BUSINESS
Montreal trio Planet Giza continue to expand their world of smooth, groove-driven hip-hop with their latest single, 'Minding My Business'. Known for blending funk, soul, and jazz into their distinct sound, the group once again strikes gold, this time teaming up with pianist Elijah Fox, whose lush harmonies and warm Rhodes textures add a timeless glow to the track. Lyrically, the song explores themes of self-focus, emotional maturity, and protecting your peace.The verses are delivered with calm assurance, reflecting on the importance of staying grounded and unbothered by outside noise: 'I really don’t care what nobody on. You don’t care when you got your own'. The song touches on emotional detachment, cycles of self-awareness, and quiet confidence, summed up in lines like- 'I’m in a whole another time zone, you know my head spinning like a vinyl'. By the time the outro melts into Elijah Fox’s stunning instrumental, the message becomes clear: sometimes the most powerful move is simply minding your business and staying in your own rhythm. That closing section is where the magic crystallises, the vocals fade, and the keys take centre stage, shifting the melody into a breathtaking instrumental passage. It’s a subtle but powerful finale: cinematic, soulful, and reflective, like the song finally taking a deep breath. -Rachel Fryer
