    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

"Based around the nostalgically lo-fi but anthemically catchy keyboard-sampled boardwork of Kev Brown, the cut finds the West Coast hopefuls exploring the many things that keep them on their grind, from their gratitude to fans, friends and family to their religious beliefs and memories of past struggles – and, not least, their enduring love for the music itself."- DJbooth.net

lyrics

(Cuts)
[Verse 1]

Antidote:

Raising the Bar dropped, now all these hands waving like car lots
The making of a dynasty, MCs who rhyming be
Putting on a show like these other hoes are trying to be
Rocking every spot with no thought of label signing me
You fakes are like grapes and (Hey) this here’s a winery
Now these chateau rap flows and we finally
Elevated, 100 flight of stairs until we’re celebrating
Each step like air in Hip Hop’s in each breath we’re taking

J-Pro:

We’re taking 2 steps forth; they’re taking 2 steps back
By making bullshit tracks, where are my real heads at?
They’re on the Internet, downloading our songs
So at the shows, they get ‘em up like a power bomb
We’re on the 20 minutes, sweat like it’s an hour long
30 people wildin’ out like it’s a stadium
Or the palladium, there’s nothing I can say to them
I'm grateful for the stage we’re on
And you’re my Inspiration!

Chorus:
My inspiration, blood, sweat and tears
Through all of the years, one thing that kept me handling biz is
My inspiration
My 3 babies life when I’m gone
Learning what’s right,wrong
How to fly and fight through the storms
My Inspiration
The ovation, applause from all of our peers
Supported by local fans through all the years
My Inspiration
(Cuts)

[Verse 2]

Verb:

Sometimes i consider things that get me inspired to write
There's somethin within me that never seems too tired to fight/
for what i believe in; achievin and acquirin heights of happiness
We duel and fight with the fire ignitin on our doorsteps/
Man i been through it all; been poor; slept on floors
In life i seen more yards than Dorsette/
So when tradgedy's drug out and the ground gets shaky
I'm fully aware of whatever consequences that await me/
for decisions I'm making
I aint perfect at all, but there's a reason why to get by I'ma struggle and crawl;/
the reason why id rather be judged by how many times i get up
than to go through being judged by how many times i fall/
And I'm not religious man, but let me tell you the deal
If i could just channel my voice through those who feel what i feel;/
if i could leave earth with a mark that says that verb was for real,
to live and breathe and put on this planet provided wit skill is my inspiration

Chorus:
My inspiration, blood, sweat and tears
Through all of the years, one thing that kept me handling biz is
My inspiration
My 3 babies life when I’m gone
Learning what’s right,wrong
How to fly and fight through the storms
My Inspiration
The ovation, applause from all of our peers
Supported by local fans through all the years
My Inspiration
(Cuts)

[Verse 3]

Antidote:

There’s so many reasons why I do this, nothing I’d deny or try to prove
It’s just this feeling that I feel when I’m hi-hi-high of spittin’ rhymes and coolin’
Wit my crew, walking like it’s water that I’m steppin’ on
Epsilon “P”, the 180 I’ve been bettin’ on


Verb:

Soon as they let us on
The game’s changing, this is the level we’re supposed to conquer
And competition’s supposed to be fretting on
Retreating like decepticons, forfeiting their checks and bonds
Falling and crumbling at the frey and edges we left them on

J-Pro:

… the rest will honor the name. My fans are cynical
Still they’re calling my name like I stand at pinnacle
Allstar perennial, fall far from lyrical Sean Paul
I’ve fended through the fire with inspired minds
They say I got them through the day, but they’ve inspired mine
A young guy thumping Pete Rock and I n I
Feeling proud of the underground where the cipher lies
Same 30 fans waving hands when the cipher dies

Chorus:
My inspiration, blood, sweat and tears
Through all of the years, one thing that kept me handling biz is
My inspiration
My 3 babies life when I’m gone
Learning what’s right,wrong
How to fly and fight through the storms
My Inspiration
The ovation, applause from all of our peers
Supported by local fans through all the years
My Inspiration
