    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

DJ Vadim hit us up after hearing a joint that we did in '07 called "Mood Swings". We linked up soon after that and he sent over a beat CD. The "America" sample gave us a general topic to write about. So, we ran with it.

Initially we were going to critique America in the first verse and then speak on the positive attributes that are inherent in the principles of our founding documents and the like in the next verse. However, the vocal clips, which are very critical of different elements that exists in America, sounded fresh. So, in an effort to maintain the cohesion that had already been set in place, we expressed our frustrations through the duration of the track.

PEACE TO VADIM!

lyrics

(Intro)

[Verse 1]

Verb:

Another day another dollar right? Cause in America over it someone's gonna die tonight
Crooked politicians bitchin and fixin to lie tonight/
Suppressin poverty stricken people whenever they try to fight like "Here ya go kid"
And then hand him a stick of dynamite/
Can't tell me nothin if you aint been through it
Am i genetically predisposed or is it influence/
Straight ginsuin my life aspirations wit sin
Who in the hell cares?
Its niggas thats willin to die to get it in America

J-Pro:
It’s where the troop levels rise. The pursuit’s ill-advised.
The news televised it, but groups enterprised.
Red or Blue… telling lies
Where’s the proof?
In the eyes of the dudes that are dying, paying dues with their lives
Play it coo…
You can hide in your suits and your ties, where the youth never die when seduced by the high
See the coupe…
Advertised by a gruesome disguise of freedom in the name of America.

Antidote:

Stars and stripes.
This is 51, the mind state and bars you like.
That Antidote shit, boat shit and cars you like.
The pursuit of the shine and the dimes you wife.
I got more on my mind than a hoe and a dollar
Try to put it in my rhymes but the shows don’t follow
Got to fly overseas where they pride ain’t swallowed
And they want what they need but I’m waiting for tomorrow
In the land of the free yall…

Unxpect:

This the place where we at/
and prepared to react while these niggas bang on every track/
and we rarely be wack with the fitted hats and black denim/
Fine women, fast state of mind we keeps the wax blending/
back spinning, While the mat attracts the different accents and/
cultures keep it active while the taxes staying mad expensive/
you get a nasty sense its intense and the eyes on us/
cries known to penetrate the skies, a rise on the homeless/
Homie this is what?

Calmplex:

A land of thieves who stole from indigenous
A shelter for those who expose what religion is
Convicted, or twisted, abode for polygamist
If freedoms for all, why we all feel imprisoned then?
United we stand, yet command with indifference
Where lack of concern, becomes fact for the ignorant
My stimulant a tome, Called behold a pale horse
Novus Ordo Mundi the source of a scam called… "America"

Chorus:
Multiple Clips

[Verse 2]

Verb:

We got money to burn; contradictions televised; easy for a dummy to learn/
Where marijuana grows more than red fern
Court is never permanently adjourned cause as the world turns/
Another bad sperm enters on bad terms wit bad germs
Dealt a bad hand; strugglin
Its sad to learn but its true/
So whats the reason for this bad cohesion
People freezin; never dressed for the season
How we people pleasin? Whats the meanin of demeanin America?

Antidote:

Fuck your vote.
When your only two choices are to drown or to choke.
Don’t tell me I have voice, understand I’m broke.
When you ain’t got a pot to piss in, you ain’t reading propositions
I’m just trying to work this job, so I got a spot to live in.
And you have the nerve to ask me why I knock the system?
It’s one nation under God but two parties divide
So three seconds what you got before they make you decide.

J-Pro:

Where the candidate of choice is based on drink favors
We’re choosing between 2 parties like teenagers
The red is for the green while the blue is for green acres
Somewhere in between it seems to mean faker
Flip flopper, 2 sided, all thing Hegelian
Debates about the gays, creating fences for the aliens
Tax cuts, health care… black and white play to win

Unxpect:

We staying in, so say again (America) this how our day begin/
9 to 5 for survival while we thrive in the state we in/
live with debates and strive to make a name raise our babies and/
we labeled lazy we hated just as bad as Arabians/
we always find a way to win and move as a unit/
soon as we dismember we band together smooth to just prove its/
the news that abuses the media, provokes through the tv/
the c.d.'s you seeing and purchase don't believe all you reading/
cause they be feeding lies in (America)

Calmplex:
Land of the sheep, and home of the enslaved
Misguided souls, friendly foes till the invade
shades of good and evil seem to equal that of poupon
are you incorporated with the natives? get cha noose on
judgment of my lexis, if its sexist, or it cant shake---
---booty, beautiful or strobe, conscious of the globe
getting warmer still im told…to be green
yet the green out my pockets being stole
uncle sam is so… "America"
