    About Epsilon Project:
    We are... Epsilon Project, an Oxnard, CA based collective of 4 MCs, 3 MC/producers and a DJ. We make Hip Hop music, and we're pretty good at it. I mean, we're not as good as Soulja Boy or anything, but we're iiiiiight.

    About "Audacity":
    This album was initially called "The Audacity of Dope", a play on President Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope", but a Google search killed that idea. (www.theaudacityofdope.com)... D'OH!!!!!!!

    Sooooo, we dropped the words {of dope} and the word {audacity} remained.

    This 9-track project, appropriately titled “Audacity”, features production from Kev Brown, Ohno, Supa Koopa and DJ Vadim.

    From the brazenly laced critique of the United States on "America", to the incredibly descriptive narratives presented on "Poor World", each track is a manifestation of intrepid boldness.

about

This is the title track. It started off as a description of the audacious step that the United States' voting population took by electing President Obama. As is the case with many of our tracks, the topic shifted to a more general discussion of audacious acts.

Peace to Seize for lacing us with this beat!

lyrics

[Verse 1]

J-Pro:

Who killed audacity with 1 bullet?
Who resurrected it when we were scared to speak up and run through it?
To stand a leader in the land of freedom
It had to be a man’s belief in man to understand… yes we can achieve it
Through all the camera tweaking and all the phantom seasoned
Animated can of demons unleashed to plant a reason
To not hope or not vote, colored man of treason
He’s over seeing the capital like a grammar teacher
And to reach a higher self, educate in high amounts
Now that’s dope, get your pen and paper, write it out
Hear that quote? Get ya kin and take a ride to now
According to the past, in the present we’d be lying down
How we acting? No passion in the flow
How we rap? Like we’ll blast ever cat we’ve ever known
Why we mad? Change is coming like we’re cashing in the dough
Now we’re champions of the slogan the Audacity of Dope

Verb:

Through the knowledge that we acquire we buildin this empire
Phony cons, criminals, liars, we expose em. Watch the truest transpire/
We uplift em; slowly convince em. They wave their hands higher
Bands they hire claimin they got priors. We dig underneath the attire/
Poetically I'm a man on fire wit no Mr. Creasy; just my craft i break down so easy
And these be the words you should heed. See I'm audacious with my dopeness
And i spit nothin but truth without a serum in my quotes; its routine/
Somewhat of a gifted prolific machine
With a purpose to prosper artistically with a skill and a dream/
And them same emcees killin the scene is still in my team
Rappers screamin redrum when they really vanilla bean ice cream/
And ima serve em to ya; yes ill certainly do ya the favor
Any flavor you shall receive/
In 2020 who will hip hop honor?
We steadily battlin this termination like Sarah Connor

Chorus:
We can pop Champagne/Shop brand names
Refer to every woman as a hoe/No damn thing
But this feeling deep inside of me is telling me plans changed
The audacity of EP, dope as the campaign

[Verse 2]

Antidote:

They call me stubborn and tell me I need to get with the times
It’s all in the beats and how you flip it P, you spittin these rhymes
No ones listenin, if they do its coincidence, all they understand—ignorance
Pimpin that women shit, you sweating penmanship, please.
I hate to be the antagonist but rapping is money
Funny as passion seems the obvious answer, it’s not.
Stop flowing against the grain and doubting it
Not only are they stupid they proud of it.
Feel like I’m challenging the world to a battle, cyphering shadows in light
At night it’s a castle, the moat is the industry, recycling imagery
So what’s dope continually provoked to indignantly
Retreat to the streets they claim, vividly…
I remember another day, repeating it
Consider this my civil disobedience I’m beating it
To a pulp, unleashing this Hulk inside of me
Reasoning’s out the window, I’m keeping it
Dope’s the ingredient, this is what freedom is.

Unxpect:
(Yea)
We stay speaking it/ Critiquing if your line is weak and/
unique speech unleashed through sequences your mind is seeking/
you find a leak I find a link to keep the fire peaking/
desire has me admired on who inspired Lincoln/
just think if the ink provided divided by thoughts/
had brought the lives, survived that had fought, niggas like I would of walked/
with a head high/ denied by a set up fed up on red eyes/
never rest why? Fess up to the stress developed to test my/ Abundance
runs with a crew of a hundred numbered through two plus four/
we bust for glorifying dying for war/
up in this battle field skills don't matter still an act of will/
so pack it up we back to patch it up with out them caps you peel/ huh
If rap is still about a package deal/ them labels might as well get rid of all the baggage, feel these niggas average still/
and damage real lyricist hearing this no need to cope/
with the bullshit welcome to thee audacity of dope/
