    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

The Beat= We'd been wanting to work with Ohno for years. We reached out, and he provided the banger.

The Verses=
Unxpect: tells the tale of a person doing what he has to do to provide for his family.
Pro: describes the thoughts and actions that lead to a rape.
Verb: talks about the "merry go round of ill-intent"- describes a product of his environment.

The Chorus= Unxpect had the idea to get a reggae artist to sing the hook. At the time, Myspace was poppin', so we searched through a gang of pages. We came across Mr. Lee G and discovered that he had worked with Masta Ace and a few other cats. He seemed like the perfect fit. We sent over the track, he laced 2 different hooks, but only 1 encompassed the totality of the messages in the track.

Peace to Ohno and Mr. Lee G

lyrics

[Verse 1]

Unxpect:

No more partying with models on top of that pop the bottle shit/
its all about this cash and dodging them hot hollow tips/
after tonight he swears he'll call it quits but where the problem fits/
is niggas don't forget shit when fucking with street politics/
he'll probably get what he deserves though, the word slowly leaked/
Jamal called Tariq a week ago from Tony's Niece/
he's in a bad predicament no fixing shit when it hits the fan/
for 40 grand, clocks ticking he aint sticking to the plan/
He has a baby on the way Jamal refused to let him lose ah/
Father if he'll call her one last time to soothe her/
told her he'd be home and this money could helps out /
stay strong baby and pray cause I'm in hell for now/
He knew what he was doing was taking another mans life/
the plan to murder him, his kids plus his brother and wife/
realized the chosen path and wondered what the other be like/
up in this poor world its cold when u discover the price/
poor world (echo)

Chorus:
(inaudible) little boys and girls live in a world where the life's so cold
It's a poor world
This world that we're livin in
I guess to eat a brother's got to sin
It's a poor world
Ya talk about ya ones and guns
Until ya baby momma got no funds
It's a poor world
Don't you be mad at me
I'm only speaking some reality



[Verse 2]

J-Pro:
Late night, Donna’s excited to be invited to dine with the finest modest Pilate body
Johnny was honest and kind of retarded but in the funny sense of the problem
Followed Donna around , calling until she bought in to court him (Yes)
He got his wish officially mission to pop a cherry
He’s got an itch to hurt the pussy like Tom & Jerry
She wants to make the night special like Gerald Riveri (Geraldo Rivera)
He trying to fuck and cut it short like Halle Berry
Upon a night he got her right at 7, night of pleasure on his mind, the sight of sex, he’s gone already
She’s trying to conversate and kinda got a bond to make
But all he thinks is, “What I’m gonna do if the condom breaks?”
They eat and catch a flick and afterward it’s kind of late
He says, “I know a cool spot here, down by the lake”
She’s hesitant, he says he aint got time to waste
Pumps the bass just so he can drown out the sound of rape

Poor world (echo)

Chorus:
(inaudible) little boys and girls live in a world where the life's so cold
It's a poor world
This world that we're livin in
I guess to eat a brother's got to sin
It's a poor world
Ya talk about ya ones and guns
Until ya baby momma got no funds
It's a poor world
Don't you be mad at me
I'm only speaking some reality

Verse 3:
Verb:
Wit a rag in his pocket he walks the street like street life's a different beat
Nikes cover his feet; affiliated colors trimmin his sneaks/
Right, nobody told him; wrong, it continued to mold him,
grab a hold of him, scold him; deadly what he sold in his folded hands at night;/
Scopin patrolin units forced to control him; cookin up that shit above the oven;
Lookin back he never chose the life he supposedly dove in/
He peeped it from his stroller;
mommy and daddy rollin em big as tp roll holders;/
Subjected to planet fuck up, flooded wit fragile and sucked up fiends;
peepin the scene on every corner/
Sirens serenade the block like Nat King; he say its a black thing
as if caught up inside a labrynth where we black people lack dreams;/
Guns poppin all day like Rerun from What's Happenin;
He servin the block regardless of sickness; lungs collapsing/
Fuck the people, he finna pitch rocks and reep the benefits
So goes the merry-go-round of ill intent
Poor World (echo)

Chorus:
(inaudible) little boys and girls live in a world where the life's so cold
It's a poor world
This world that we're livin in
I guess to eat a brother's got to sin
It's a poor world
Ya talk about ya ones and guns
Until ya baby momma got no funds
It's a poor world
Don't you be mad at me
I'm only speaking some reality
