For more than a year, Third Ear and Benjamin have been selecting tracks for this ep and for an album to follow later in the year. The wait was largely due to the track No Kicks, which initially used a Chuck D acapella, titled No. When Third Ear couldn’t get clearance for the acapella, we suggested to Benjamin that we try and think of another poet/rapper who could produce an original lyric inspired by Chuck D’s flow. After some thought we suggested Diamondancer, who was inspired to write the lyric she performs here. Stay Hungry Stay Foolish and Acidic Sun are delicious and dreamy, with a fat pulsing groove. Hello Ammmerika is more urgent, pushing the groove constantly.
