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.
1. Audacity originals (MP3)- Featuring production from Ohno, Kev Brown, DJ Vadim and more.
2. Audacity originals and Remixes (CD)- All songs remixed by Preme.

about
On "Turn it Up" we vent our frustration with trying to break through to a public that seems disinterested, and/or unaware of our music.
Peace to Supa Koopa for lacing the track!
lyrics
[Verse 1]
J-Pro:
Beyond the borders of the ghetto here’s my composition
Get on a tour and we can settle where they all can listen
Get in the malls and we can meddle with a demographic
That never listens to our music, we should send a package
Get on the radio, irate bully them
Get on the net and spam, Myspace bulletins
Get on our set and jam, hype breaks pull them in
Turn it up, these are high stakes, play to win
Unxpect:
Check it
It aint no question why they stressing how we get down/
its complicated how we rated on how shit sound/
scan the plan guerrilla pressing while we still investing/
blessin fans, we ill and testing limits off the skills possessed and/
I say to turn it up (up) , They say to turn it down (down)/
Im trying to earn a buck and still trying to work it out (work it out)/
My peoples its the raising bar sequel/
planes from here to Spain, Kiko we got mics so when do we go?
Chorus:
Ox City, yo they want to see us (Get Live)
So I’m gonna grab the sound man and I’m gonna tell him (Turn it Up Now)
And when they scream encore that’s when they want more
Superior MCs that bring the hardcore
You know my city wants to see my crew (Get Live)
Somebody better grab the sound man and tell him (Turn it Up Now)
DJs, MCs, B-boys and Graff heads
Hip Hop is in the building, we’re the modern day classics
[Verse 2]
Verb:
Creativity livin within me's a part of my makeup
You raise the stakes up? I'll bring 5 along wit me to shake up the place/
Raise up the bass; cater ya face wit a plate of finesse
Shit is obvious; no need to address this rap shit is a mess/
That's why we turn it up and let them bitches burn it up; we meant for this
dynamic lyricism amped and ready is the emphasis/
Swimmin wit fish in this business? The competition's endless
All to get the benz's and image they stompin kids to win this/
Get live; thats what we stick by to get by adversity
The worst of me is gone; my tenni's you could never fit mine/
Sit back and watch us movin on the incline
No time to pivot
Stagnant aint the way; my killin instinct is to get mine
Chorus:
Ox City, yo they want to see us (Get Live)
So I’m gonna grab the sound man and I’m gonna tell him (Turn it Up Now)
And when they scream encore that’s when they want more
Superior MCs that bring the hardcore
You know my city wants to see my crew (Get Live)
Somebody better grab the sound man and tell him (Turn it Up Now)
DJs, MCs, B-boys and Graff heads
Hip Hop is in the building, we’re the modern day classics
Antidote:
We turn it up and stop only for the breaks
Don’t smoke bowls, push 45 plates
Forks in the road try stifling my pace
Stay down on the block like right before the race
Hear what I’m telling you, raised the bar, now it’s the mello rouse
Developing the flow, new improved, clear your schedules
Rock with us, stop em in they tracks like a pause button
Stick to the fax, like cover sheets you need to stop frontin
Hear to transcend, check the translation
Cut the trans fat, transform this rap nation
Epsilon, we the reason all they hands waiving
On the green, got the edge, its like we landscaping
Nothing special, not a profit hear to save your soul
We underground, turning up’s the only way to go
You want to be a jerk go and play ya radio
I said we underground, all my people what you waiting for
Chorus:
Ox City, yo they want to see us (Get Live)
So I’m gonna grab the sound man and I’m gonna tell him (Turn it Up Now)
And when they scream encore that’s when they want more
Superior MCs that bring the hardcore
You know my city wants to see my crew (Get Live)
Somebody better grab the sound man and tell him (Turn it Up Now)

Calmplex:
Often Misunderstood by those who never understood it
Underground, underrated but invaded my whole cadence
way since ninety two, but still in debit at the present
So projected as our future --- make some loot or become remnants
on some “back in the day” shit or “remember we use to”
I'd rather not reminisce since my memory fused to---
---what was, will soon come to pass… remain patient
Occupying the vacant… outside of the matrix…
